I have a feeling the 2021 football season is going to have a lot of coaches with a molten hot seat. I don’t think that it’s gonna look great to fire a coach this season even if things are bad because the money situation is so awful but you know some school is going to pony up a big buyout anyway. I think Gus is safe, I think Pruitt is safe, but next year is going to be do or die for both of them.

If they fire Gus they might gently caress up the unholy pact with the refs

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Iowa state at least made it interesting right at the end, but you could tell that their offense just wasn’t good enough to beat out the OSU defense. Couple of dropped balls right in the numbers didn’t help though.

Still a good chance to finish second in the Big 12, which is really good for ISU.

There's still a Big 12 Championship Game this year? In theory anyway, assuming everything doesn't have to get locked down again? You might get a rematch.

It may happen. We can’t stop poo poo. Our offense is good but it basically has to score every drive against any team with offensive pulse.

Florida's got a pretty bad one (er, both the state and the team), and Mullen got it too.

Minnesota turned back into a pumpkin. Ibrahim and Bateman are good as ever, but the defense and o line suck. I can't tell if Tanner Morgan has regressed or if it's merely because he has less guys to bail him out this year.

Then I remembered it was against Nebraska and I got really annoyed. Crush your conference foes as hard as you can imo.

They’re probably still pretty good but like 8-4 good (in a normal season).

I don't understand how the win probability went down to 50% after it almost reached 100% to Penn State near end of game. Like, at what point did they decide it was a 50-50 game?

Game was won in OT, I assume the first 50% toward the end is that, the second is after the TD and before the conversion.

The 50-50 wiggling is from IU tying it with like 22 seconds left to PSU missing the field goal right at the end of regulation. It's also probably the model going "What the gently caress is this poo poo, what is even happening any more, just flip a loving coin."

i wonder if fickell would ever leave the midwest, i feel like that would be a slam dunk

I have often wish they'd pursued Fickell instead of Fuente.

He isn't going anywhere until at least after next season just based on the buyout. VT just does not have the kind of boosters that would shell out money to get him gone without it destroying the budget. I think we will still win another 3-4 games but which games those are are anybodies guess. Is it possible they just start stringing together wins? Sure, but it's also equally likely they'll be streaky like they have been for the better part of 3 years. Losing in weird dumb ways and looking good on occasion against equal or lesser talent.

It's very dumb that Minnesota played when like half their team had it, even if they're trying to get around that by just refusing to acknowledge what could have possibly taken out like a dozen guys in the midst of an out of control pandemic.

No.

There were rumors of a nasty leg injury early in camp, but nothing ever confirmed. He did not appear in any of the scrimmage video they posted from the week of 10/17.

Dienhart and Rittenburg both say he will play this week, but until I see him on the field I'm still going to worry for him. During pre-game the big ten cameras settled on him and when he noticed he pulled someone in front of himself to block them.

Somehow I missed that Auburn was given yet another gift by replay officials this week. Holy hell, what do they have on the league offices? The Arkansas one you can at least (barely) justify as an inadvertent whistle, but I don't know how you explain the Kentucky or Ole Miss plays.
