How do you line up that far offside?

I imagine the 4tth down predictor works differently in OT v regulation.
I wonder if there's enough data to have an OT predictor....

Not sure why UM has the advantage in OT.  Ever been on defense vs. an option team after 60 minutes and been told the game isn't over yet?

Generally I believe the longer a game last the more likely talent takes over.

Man, man, man, if only that Metellus TD reversal had been reviewable.

Another traditional line of thinking...but if the talent discrepancy hasn't netted a positive result so far....

It’s traditional because it has history to back it up. It usually doesn’t even make it to ot. How many times to weaker teams jump out and take advantage of the better team making mistakes and not being prepared for the game? But way more often than not the better team comes around and wins. Sometimes it takes ot. Sometimes they don’t.

Army looks so small compared to Michigan.
