I think kicker improvement has had more impact on football than anything

We used to laugh in college about when they would just accept that overtime was part of the game, and stop explaining the rules. That was 20 years ago, and they still feel the need to do it. Granted maybe they just want that sweet Cheez-It money as a sponsor
It's for all the new laypeople fans reeled in by the expanded playoff.

That, and the titanic decrease in INTs thrown (per pass attempt), due in large part to the spread, which is originally from Bill Walsh's west-coast offense.

Creating all these teams for Whoa Nellie has opened my eyes to the horrors of passing games all the way into the late 80s.  Just godawful.

Is it me or was that about the 50th lead change in this game?
Needed one more

it's why passer rating is irrelevant. it vastly overrates completion percentage the way the passing game now works

I will gladly be told the overtime rules every game forever, if they stop referencing the last Rose Bowl win every time a crappy Big Ten team wins a road game at UCLA

Somehow this Gopher club is gutting things out. 

Survived to the bye, then a tricky game vs Maryland. 

Long day.

I don't think people realize how much yards per attempt matters.  And TD%.  But the lack of INTs is really driving up passer ratings, too.  But yeah, I agree.

The refs robbed USC in OT.  I can live with it.

847- did you give up on your team a bit early?😉
Seems like they are starting to get things figured out.

I'm still in "show me" mode.

You should read the Horn Boards the torches and Pitchforks were out until they got 3 TDs in 5 minutes

Ain't nobody harder on Texas, than our own fans.

Quinn had some rust to knock off, not surprising but it was frustrating as hell to watch him miss two wide open passes, one of which was likely a TD, and then throw that pick.  But he got it together and the running game took over late.

Gonna be a hell of a game against Georgia in Austin next week.
