Michigan beat The Other Miami, 34-10.

Defense seemed to be pretty sound.

Offense gave up 3 turnovers in five minutes, gifting Miami their points.

Michigan's offense remains better than last year, but still pretty bad.

Defense looks strong against the run, but can't play man to man against anything other than kindergartners.

Fire Brady Hoke.

That is all.

What, exactly, is the reasoning for that rule, anyway? Is it because nobody wanted to play Hawaii on the road otherwise?

Precisely. Teams were allowed an extra home game to cover the cost of flying to Hawaii and back.

Incidentally, the NCAA bylaw that allows this would also apply to any hypothetical Alaskan college football team, though as far as I'm aware there hasn't been one of those since 1952 (and the one that did exist played all of its known games against a local Air Force base).

Puerto Rico, too, if anybody down there starts playing Division I football.

I don't think it was grounding since it hit a defender, but in your example the QB was in the middle of being hit and grounding never gets called from that.

The ref would have to judge that the ball would have crossed the neutral zone with an eligible receiver in the area had it not been touched to avoid a grounding call. A QB can't just drill the ball at an onrushing defender as a get-out-of-grounding-free card.

I didn't see the Georgia/USC play, so I can't really comment on that, but simply touching a defender doesn't negate grounding automatically.

Arent the rules for screens a bit different considering linemen will be starting to heard downfield on the play? QB's are normally taught to plant the ball at the RB's feet (the defender was in the way in this case) on blown up screen plays.

There's nothing special in the rules about screen passes that I'm aware of. Linemen are still not allowed downfield before the pass is thrown.

Since a screen pass is generally going to be intended to stay behind the LoS, having a receiver in the area is going to be the crucial bit.

Actually that might work, going from Richt to him would be amazing(ly horrible), but at least that subset of fans would have to shut the gently caress up at that point.

Having been through a similar situation, I'm pretty confident that they actually wouldn't. :smith:

I love Hackenberg in all his lovely decisions/flashes of awesome, but why do announcers keep calling him amazing (assuming they did last weekend as well, I had the sound down)? Do they look at stats at all?

I find it amazing that he's competent at all. He is a flat-footed, uncoordinated goof most of the time who can somehow complete passes and occasionally scramble in the strangest circumstances.

note: was not around for the thread saturday.

First trip through all I noticed was that it was 4th and 5 and was laughing at Miami for intercepting the pass when all they had to do was knock it down and they'd get more yards. Then I saw the ArkSt receiver on the second trip through. :stare:

Also, Kyle Flood had taken a page out of the Rivals forum notebook by referring to Penn State only as The Team From Pennsylvania.

They're developing a rather amusing Little Brother complex toward the rest of the conference. It's quite endearing.

It's not little brother. It's pretty much ethnic hatred. We all hate Penn State and Midwesterners in general, but don't really give a poo poo about any other teams.

But nobody gives a poo poo in return. You just come off as a yappy little terrier.

Texas and Michigan just agreed to a home and home series, I think 2024 and 2027.

Truth. Not sure I understand why the suspension was warranted. I think a "We'll handle this within the team and Jameis understands that his behavior wasn't inappropriate or acceptable as a representative of this team and University, blah blah blah" would have been perfectly acceptable.

A half-game suspension says the same thing much more clearly. Also makes it clear that he will get more than a stern talking-to in the future.

Given that this isn't the first incident of Jameis being somewhat out of control, it's time he got his chain yanked.

As far as I can tell from all the tweets about it, he stood up in a public place on campus and yelled it.

It seems really weird to me that they'd increase his punishment. I wonder if he was an rear end to the administration during the "investigation" or something.

It would seem to imply that there was more to it than simply standing up and shouting something bad. That something more could very well be his attitude during the investigation, or perhaps the shouting was what brought attention to a bunch of other unseemly things he was up to.
