Wish I could see the pics.
No pics showed Brosmer over the goal line on 3rd down - you could not see the QB. But on 4th down it was very clear, and I was about as pissed in real time as P.J. Ish - did I admit that? But yes, I was rooting for the gophers, and their victory on television was clear, even before the referees' lazy eyes perceived, and overruled the field call.

Miami 39-38 California (Oct 5, 2024) Final Score - ESPN

Their "win possibility predictor" graphic is epic.

Just got home. Wow. What a turnaround. Thoughts:

- The stadium was as dead as Abraham Lincoln after SC went up 17-10.

My brother, a USC grad, was also at the game last night. Was set up with some very good seats along the visiter’s sideline.

With USC leading 17-10 for a long stretch of the 2nd half, I was thinking maybe Lincoln Riley already has a feel for winning in the Big Ten? Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise to get away from his high-flying brand of finesse offenses and be forced to go with a more methodical QB that can take a beating? Because this is how you survive in the more physical Big Ten. But then Minnesota clawed back for a gutty win and I’m sure Riley’s critics reemerged in full force.

The margin of error in those early exit polls is usually +/- 2 points

That's not targeting? I do not know what is targeting.

That was criminal. Miami has gotten the benefit of two really controversial replay reviews two weeks in a row. If that was called targeting like it should have been I’m not sure they win the game.

Cincydawg · « **Reply #219 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:13:24 PM »

I think replay folks were advised not to call targetting unless it's blatantly obvious. They probably were too generous at first, and now they are too conservative.

Also, re: parity: This sport goes in cycles. There are some years, like 2005, where USC and Texas were so far ahead of the field that everywhere else were fighting over the scraps.

Then other years, like 2007, where no one knows what to expect and the #1 ranking gets kicked around like a football.

2001 somehow managed to have both.

It appears that this year is much more like an 07.

Bama wins that game 99 times out of 100, it's not in my view some mark of parity, or near parity.

Vandy probably is a bit better than in the recent past, but they will still end up 4-8 or somesuch.

Vandy is not a bad team. Pavia is legit. They took Mizzou to OT. They do however have a brutal schedule. Ball State should be a win. Wouldn't surprise me to see them win two or three more on top of Ball State.

Cincydawg · « **Reply #222 on:** October 06, 2024, 05:22:19 PM »

They lost to Georgia State. Maybe they beat Auburn and Ball State and possibly one between UK and USCe, maybe. They do have a winning lifetime record vs Texas.

So, maybe they finish between 4-8 and 6-6 at best, I think. That, to me, is a bad team, maybe mediocre is a better term. And maybe Tennessee goes south and they snag that one. I hope they suprise me on the upside. They are at UK next week, that should tell us more.

I had never heard that because on field officials are trained to throw the flag on targeting if you’re unsure. They are taught to err on the side of caution. Don’t know why replay officials would get different instructions.

Besides any of that, what the Miami kid did was textbook targeting. Idk how anyone could have looked at that replay and determined it wasn’t targeting. That is the exact hit they are trying to get out of the game.
