Post by: MaximumSam on September 21, 2019, 07:47:43 AM
My internet went out during a lightning storm last night so a lot of looking at my phone today. Not sure what games I'll be able to get through the antenna amongst the three soccer games I have to make today.

So far, so good here on the weather. Supposed to rain later in Madison but I don't think it's going to be as bad as thought.

Italian sausage sammitches with marinara, giardiniera and provolone. Veal brats simmered in beer and served with hot mustard. Ring bologna served with a spicy pickle relish.

Going to come up with a salad, for balance, and some fresh veggies from the farmers' market in a little bit, when it opens.

Very nice day in Kenosha, so far. We'll see if it holds.

Got the 36 set up in the cockpit area already, along with the 21 down below.

Someone pointed out how good MSU's scripted first drives always are.  Right down the field, nine plays, TD.  Didn't even get to third down.  7-0

Now watch them score no more than 17, happens consistently.

Special team already with a kick out of bounds, and a fumbled return.

Northwestern has negative total yardage and is already at the MSU 27

Post by: ELA on September 21, 2019, 12:24:35 PM
Kick out of bounds, force them backwards, fumble the punt return to give them the ball at the MSU 27, PI to give them a 1st and goal.  TD Northwestern.

Rinse and repeat from last week.  MSU just can't get out of their own way with stupid penalties and mistakes.

Taylor is one of the best RBs in the entire country. Maybe even the best. He made a big play. It happens. You can’t really stop him, you can only hope to contain him. And he’s got like 80% of his yards on one carry. Relax.

I’m not going to lie, I hope the Badgers win 56-0 for two reasons:
1) it’s time to move on from a Harbaugh. His judgment on personnel and QBs has been absolutely awful. His game coaching and planning is awful.
2) the badgers need the credit they deserve. The story shouldn’t be just the Michigan fail, but a massive win should give them the attention deserved.

Wisconsin was such a boring game I switched over to MSU/NU. Now that looks like a slow strangulation by the MSU defense. Suppose I should load the charcoal and light the smoker for these ribs, let the temp get fully settled in, as I need to put them on in 90 minutes.

That's because once Florida scored a TD, it knew the game was won, and the new QB started taking stupid risks.

As stated, it was the call before that one that had them in a frenzy already. And yeah, very dangerous play there. Just not sure how he could have avoided it. He led with his shoulder and McCaffrey was going down. Bang bang play.

Really impressed with Malzahn and rest of Auburn staff in managing their way out of Texas A&M working with all the 4th quarter momentum. Auburn’s 4th quarter TD drive to put the game mostly out of reach was perfectly play-called, executed, and gave the defense a big rest ahead of the passing attack A&M was forced to resort to.

WVU survives Kansas. Ridiculous call very late in the game. On 3rd and 10 with just a few seconds KU throws a pass over the middle that goes for 9 yards. Clearly a yard short of the line to make.

Refs call it a first down despite spotting the ball a full yard short of the line to make and it going in the books as an official 9 yard game. It allowed KU one more play on a hook and lateral that got inside the 20.

If that LSU-Vandy game had taken place in the Big 12, all the media talk about it would have been how nobody plays defense in the Big 12.

But since it was in the SEC, everything is good.

Shootouts prove that SEC offenses have caught up with everyone else.

Low-scoring games prove that SEC defenses are best.

Blowout wins over FCS team prove that no one can match up with the SEC.

It's all good.

From here on out, all ND "injuries" are fake until proven otherwise.  They're taking advantage of the officials being unable to identify a faked injury, because of the safety issue involved.


It's bush league, embarrassing, and they should be penalized over and over and over again.




If you think I'm being overly dramatic, I'm not, because everyone is complicit in it - the coaches who ordered the one teammate dragging down the other, the players, and the medical people as well.  A-holes are probably talking the player through the process - "okay, shake your head no....alright, I'm going to check your forearm for a bit....and when we get back to the sideline I'll give you some eyedrops that are actually just water."

Dry rub (I generally buy commercial instead of making my own) and I sauced two of three slabs. I don't mop. I did three hours naked in the smoker, wrapped in foil for 1 hr 45 min, then back to naked for 45 min with sauce applied for the last 30 min. Came out perfect. Wish I'd taken a picture lol.

WOW, I was watching that WSU-UCLA game and I'm stunned.  Not even at the comeback or the final score, but when I was watching, UCLA looked pathetic.  0-3, thinking they made a poor HC hire, playing listless, etc.....they were as low as you can get.  And then  they come back and win that game?!?



You never can tell what a group of 20 year old is going to do - ever.  Also, no "Air Raid" team will probably ever win the NC - they can't punch the ball in at the goal line and they can't salt away time off the clock with a big lead.  Also, practicing against that type of offense day in and and day out makes their defense soft.

Did you see the blatant, purposeful fake injury ND just did?  That's it.  It's official.  They're all just soccer players now.  The coddling of the QBs, the targeting calls on normal football collisions, and now faking injuries (as instructed from the sideline, no less).  Pffffft.
LSU did it to us 13 times in our game 2 weeks ago.  So effectively, they were granted 19 times-outs.  I was thoroughly embarrassed for them.

Maybe a rule that if if the trainers have to come out and attend to you then you have to sit out the rest of the drive.  Maybe even the quarter.

Yeah, I think if time is called for an injury, that player should be "injured" for the remainder of the drive, at minimum.

It's my impression the zebras are letting the pass defenders play aggressively this season more so than usual.  I saw a lot of manhandling that was not called yesterday.

Something like this is where I'd want it to go.

But the argument in the other direction,  is that a rule like this would encourage players to stay in and on their feet when they're legitimately injured, thus potentially causing even further damage.  I'm not sure I buy it, but I think it's enough of an argument to keep the anti-flopping rules at bay.

In the Texas-LSU game, there was one play where Texas has gotten a first down and was running up to the line quickly to run HUNH, and two LSU players hit the field at the same time, rolling around faking their injuries.  Then they saw each other, one of them looked over to the sideline, and immediately popped right back up.  It was comical.

Brian Kelly claimed the ND players were not dropping intentionally.  Maybe so.  The timing was curious though.  He said one was concussion protocol and the other was cramps, both seemed to return to the game after a play as I recall, and one dropped shortly thereafter, the concussion dude.

Whatever, I think if you drop and get tended, you should be out that series, as suggested above.

The first one, where the ND guy told him to get down, was definitely legit.  He was wobbling on his feet and then was taken through the concussion protocol.

Yup, we were doing pretty much the same thing for the LSU game.  There were a couple of LSU fans behind us, nice guys cheering for their team and not trash-talking at all and we chatted with them some.

But after all of the LSU flopping with fake cramps, we kept on telling those guys, "Hey, if you need some water just let us know.  We don't want you keeling over in the stands and rolling around, we're hospitable like that."  And then, every time one of us got up to get a beer or something, we'd bring them back a fresh, cold bottled water and give it to them. They were tolerant but not overly amused.  :)

 I meant to get all of this earlier but work had a nice over the weekend meltdown. 

 That game struck me as Wisconsin being solid and good in Michigan perhaps being as rickety as I expected. I think this is possibly giving the badgers a little too much shine, and we will have to see about some of the next steps. 

 That said, beating Michigan always rules and I do like the look of this team.

Husker Linebacker Coach Ruud's take: Current Georgia starting quarterback Jake Fromm must be awfully talented if he could beat out Fields.


All Fields has done through four games this season is complete 66 of 95 passes (69.5 percent) for 880 yards and 13 touchdowns, with zero interceptions. He's rushed 34 times for 190 yards (4.4 ypc) and six scores.

"He can run it, he can throw it, he doesn't turn the ball over," Ruud said. "He's been really solid."

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Fields directs an offense that is as strong as any team in the country, Ruud said. The Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) rank 14th in total offense (526.5 ypg) and third in scoring (53.5).

"It's very similar to what we do, honestly, in that they use pre-snap disguises really well, they use tempo really well, and they're very balanced," Ruud said.

Fromm beat out Eason and Fields.  I think Fromm is a better fit for UGA's offense while Eason and Fields are better fits where they play now.  That doesn't mean one is better than the others.  Context.

A mobile QB on a decent team has a better chance of upsetting a top level team than a very good static QB on a decent team.  They do pose more problems for defenses.

He can at times simply dominate and have the game of his life and beat the better team.

Post by: OrangeAfroMan on September 24, 2019, 10:36:06 PM
The Fromm-Fields-Eason thing is interesting.  I think UGA played it safe - Fromm helped win games, so don't mess with the success.


Yet both Alabama & Clemson - top programs - had Fromm-esque options starting at QB, but made the risky-ish change to a higher ceiling, but less known.  I believe they both did so because they'd been at the top of the mountain for a few years.  UGA was (Aug of last year) arriving and didn't want any additional risk.  


If UGA had been a top program the previous 4-5 years, I say Fields stays and starts over Fromm, a la Bama (Tua) and Clemson (Lawrence).

Maybe a rule that if if the trainers have to come out and attend to you then you have to sit out the rest of the drive.  Maybe even the quarter.

I think the 1st time a player goes down it can be the same rule of missing the next play. 

But if a player goes down a 2nd time, then I think they need to be attended to more than a play. How long does it take the body to absorb liquids to minimize cramping?

if a player goes down on the field and causes the clock to stop, he sits out the entire series.

If he's injured badly enough he can't get off the field under his own power he probably needs a few or more plays off.

if you want to play within the next couple of plays....... and your injury is to your shoulder or your arm, walk off the field, if your injury is to your right ankle or right thigh, hop off on your left leg

The Fromm-Fields-Eason thing is interesting.  I think UGA played it safe - Fromm helped win games, so don't mess with the success.


Yet both Alabama & Clemson - top programs - had Fromm-esque options starting at QB, but made the risky-ish change to a higher ceiling, but less known.  I believe they both did so because they'd been at the top of the mountain for a few years.  UGA was (Aug of last year) arriving and didn't want any additional risk. 


If UGA had been a top program the previous 4-5 years, I say Fields stays and starts over Fromm, a la Bama (Tua) and Clemson (Lawrence).
SO, I find this interesting because each thing is slightly different.

Clemson was kind of easy. Bryant was just fine. His starting year he was 66th in the country in YPA. He was a plus runner, but not a great one. It was kinda clear more talent could edge him. Lawrence is maybe the best QB draft prospect ever. This was kinda easy.

Bama was a little messier. Hurts was a top-25 guy in YPA. He was a high end plus runner. He led an offense that was 16th in points per drive and the best at avoiding turnovers in the land. The team only turned to Tua in desperate straits. Bama didn't give a super talented Tua the job until it had a title on the line and needed something (and after that, it was easier to bench). In retrospect, Tua probably shoulda started sooner, though it's not because Hurts was all that lacking.

UGA is this other kettle of fish. Eason has the ceiling, but his floor and average play are not very good. Fromm, I can't tell if he's a supercharged Scott Tolzien (gets the ball to the right spots, won't make more than a few plays that pop), or  high-end pro-style passer in a system that makes him seem like a cog. Likewise, I can't tell if Fields is hyper developed or if OSU's system is good at making guys look good. I had the sense Fields looked a little rickety at times last year, though the numbers don't back that. 

I mean, Lawrence beat Bryant, or got close enough they knew he was beating him soon. Tua beat Hurts eventually. It never quite seemed like Fields did THAT well last year, or made it close enough to split the difference.

The play-calling for Fields at UGA wasn't a normal sample.  He had more rushing attempts than passing attempts.  They used him to run the ball and pass in garbage time.  And his passing numbers, while minimal, couldn't have been any better, really.


He wasn't given an opportunity to play his way to the starting role - UGA made its decision to not rock the boat.

I'd say in this context a "series" would be an entire drive-- sit out until a change of possession. Which for a defender obviously means you sit out the remainder of your opponent's drive, plus your own offense's drive, and then you can come back.

I agree that if you're injured bad enough to stop the clock and have the trainer out on the field, then sitting out one play certainly isn't enough time for the medical staff to evaluate you properly.

Bu I doubt we'll ever see that happen.  And honestly, how can we expect the refs to monitor that?

Does it affect offense, or just defense? If it’s just defense, do teams cut block more because you can freak a guy out about his knee, and force a backup to play a crucial series? ( someone already mentioned this discouraged the use of trainers, right?)

The fallout seems high, and the payoff is HUNHs function slightly better?

for a shorthorn you're very insightful,I was gonna say something along those lines.If guys are really taking a dive and it appears they are in at least some instances there has to be a counter measure.A possesion/drive that's in the red zone might last a play then they're miraculously mended.With this implemented it will curb those tendencies somewhat.Of course they could always send a 3rd stringer out there to take a dive

I've already said I don't see it ever being implemented, for multiple reasons.  All we've done is name some obvious consequences, but I'd expect a multitude of potential unintended consequences.

With that said, watching your opponent's defense take 13 dives in a single game, demonstrates that ending such behavior would do more than just making the HUNH offense function "slightly" better.  That many flops completely disables the HUNH offense.  There's simply no way to run the HUNH when every single time the offense is trying to rush to the line to fire off a play while they perceive the defense is at a disadvantage, a defender flops to the ground, causing not only a disruption to the timing of the offense's attempts to run its game, but also allowing the defense an uncharged timeout and a substitution that otherwise would have been impossible.

Ultimately the only real consequence will be the end of the HUNH offense because it's incredibly easy to disrupt simply by flopping 13 times in a game, as long as there are no consequences for doing so.  Some might view that as ok, others might lament that such an unsportsmanlike tactic was allowed to kill an entire offensive philosophy.  I'll leave it to you, the reader, to decide. :)

I don't like the term "drive" in the meaning that has crept into Sportscasterese the past couple of decades.  A drive once meant moving the ball a considerable bit of yardage and at least threatening to score.  As in, "A 5-minute, 14-play drive to open the 3rd quarter died on the Popcorn State 23 with a missed field goal attempt."  Now it seems to mean a possession.  But for me, 3 and out is not a drive.
A series is a set of downs.  You get a first down, the series is over.
A possession lasts until the other team has the ball.

Agree with your first and third points, not sure I really agree with the second one I highlighted.

I mean, I guess I could agree with it, but in that case, I don't really think the term "series" has much meaning at all.  It's more meaningful and more specific simply to say "set of downs."  You go 3 and out, you had one set of downs. No real need to call it a series.  If you manage a first down in your initial set of downs, well, now you're driving, but I don't think it makes any sense at all to say something like, "that drive entailed 4 series."  That's just not very meaningful and is actually somewhat confusing.

From Wiki:

The United States Navy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy) commissioned pre-flight schools at the University of Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Georgia), the University of Iowa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Iowa), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_North_Carolina_at_Chapel_Hill), and Saint Mary's College of California (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Mary's_College_of_California) in 1942. Cadets were given three months of rigorous physical training and instruction in basic aerial navigation and communications. Graduates were sent to basic flight schools and advanced flight training before assignment to the Pacific Fleet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Pacific_Fleet).

Athletics and training were emphasized at the schools. It was believed that the rigors of college football were ideal preparation for World War II. Numerous collegiate and professional athletes and coaches were recruited as instructors. They often played on or coached the football team of their respective school. Each team usually played established football powers in their respective region and other service academies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_service_academies).

Iowa Pre-Flight was coached by former Minnesota (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Minnesota) coach Bernie Bierman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Bierman) in 1942 and went 7–3. The Seahawks were coached by former Missouri (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Missouri) coach Don Faurot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Faurot) in 1943 and went 9–1. They finished second in the final AP Poll (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Poll) and were named the service academy national champion. Iowa Pre-Flight was coached by former Auburn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_University) coach Jack Meagher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Meagher) in 1944 and went 10–1. They finished sixth in the final AP Poll.

Jim Tatum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Tatum) and Bud Wilkinson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Wilkinson) both served as assistant coaches for the Seahawks under Faurot. Tatum went on to coach at Oklahoma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Sooners_football) and Maryland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_Terrapins_football). While at Maryland, Tatum recorded a national championship, three conference championships, and a 73–15–4 record without a single losing season. Wilkinson went on to coach at Oklahoma, where he set an NCAA record with 47 consecutive wins. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_Pre-Flight_Seahawks_football#cite_note-ou-1)

Bud Wilkinson had played for Bernie Bierman at Minnesota.  He patterned much of his coaching philosophy and style after those of the Silver Fox.

Don Faurot invented the Split-T offense, while at Iowa Pre-Flight I believe.  Wilkinson installed it at Oklahoma and won 3 MNCs, 2 fewer than Bierman had won at Minnesota.

I understand the distinctions you're trying to make, I just don't believe a sentence like "Well that drive consisted of 4 series and covered 57 yards, ending in a missed field goal" has much purpose or makes much sense. People wouldn't be clear that a "series" was taking the meaning of "a set of downs."  This is probably why nobody says it that way, anyway.

Instead you'll hear, "Well that drive consisted of 13 plays, with 3 first downs, covered 57 yards and ended with a missed field goal."  The latter makes more sense,  contains more specificity, and paints a clearer picture of what happened.  At least IMO.  *shrug*

I've never head any announcer put it that way, any more than I've heard an announcer say how many footsteps a 50-yard run took.
A footstep is nevertheless different from a run.
This discussion of the meaning of "series" came about because of the suggestion that players should be suspended for a series.  If the reg were written that way, apparently there would have to be clarification about what that meant.  "Possession" would be clear, but some knuckleheads would think that "series" meant was the same thing.

A possession may be the better term, but I personally view that as a series.  It gets a bit wanky if a player intercepts a ball and then fumbles it back perhaps, I 'd consider that a change of posses (x2) and new series.
