Yeah like it's good that they can execute in the clutch but their offensive line was getting steamrolled by an FCS team, who really only lost because their true freshman QB made two terrible mistakes in his first ever game.

Agreed. NFL needs to go back to Sunday/Monday, let college have Thursday/Saturday, and high school keep Fridays.

I really don't know what to think about the Auburn A&M game. I don't think Auburn should be in the top 10 right now. Stats wise Auburn and A&M are really close. They are pretty much dead even offensively, and A&M is a little ahead on defense. I really can't tell if either of them are actually good or not though, and I don't think this game will really tell. Even if Auburn wins I think we have to wait until the LSU game to find out if they are a good team this year. Of course if they lose to A&M or Florida I will be pretty sure they're bad.

they’re the world’s shakiest 3-0 but they’re about to go through a stretch where they play illinois, nebraska, rutgers, and purdue

it’s totally possible they run the table and end up the world’s most fradulent 7-0 team before they get to the actual hard part of their schedule

I'll have you know Nebraska easily handled the mighty Huskies of Northern Illinois. Including an intentional safety to get their dominant defense back on the field.

12 Million after last year, drops to 4 after this, then 2 after 2020, 1 million after that.

I remember Illinois had fairly bad money problems at one point and half of the reason they hired Lovie is because that's who all the boosters were sold on or something?

I remember K State doing something like this but I don't remember it being during the mesh, just straight either quarterback power or throwing that took forever.

Interesting. The QB often rolls with the RB too in those plays, so the RB is sliding toward the hole while the QB is scanning the field.

A defense is gonna adjust and just attack the mesh at some point and force the handoff more quickly.

That's how we ran the RPO in high school. Not that we are anywhere near that complex but that was the reason back then for it was so the QB could buy more time

This seems like it would get destroyed by a better D line that can get a lot of penetration.

It certainly depends on the fanbase, but this is one reason why I oppose selling of beer in the stadium for college football. I was at the Penn State @ Maryland game a couple years ago, and a Maryland fan that was still drinking into the 4th was getting increasingly belligerent as Penn State pulled away in a blowout more and more. At the start of the game, the stadium was probably 30-40% Penn State and by the 4th it was 50% as Maryland fans had already started leaving. I just don't think a lot of football fans can handle themselves and drinking in the stadium means they continue getting drunker rather than more sober as the game wears on.

I've never really run into any belligerent, drunk fans at baseball games. Yankees or Red Sox fans could get pretty annoying at Orioles games, but you didn't feel like one of them might violently explode. I think people take football a lot more personally than other spectator sports in the US.

The only drunken incidents that I've seen at any game in Detroit or Michigan lately had very clear culprits, they were the guys wearing the Barstool shirts.
