didn't get the pancake, his guy made the tackle. I give it a 4/10 on effort, a 2/10 on execution.

The effort got an extra 3 yards out of the play, maybe more.

Day probably doesn't even want his QBs out there doing stuff like this. From a numbers POV if the star QB goes down due to injury blocking for the run, then the team's season might be shot.

But I'm a big fan of initiative, and this looks like it.

"We'll see how the first year goes. But people better get us now, because we're going to keep getting better and better."
A local sportswriter claimed on the radio today that Frost has to get to 8 wins to keep his job, which is impossible. He'd have to win all of Indiana, Rutgers, Purdue, Illinois, and Minnesota.

He'd also have to win two of Oklahoma, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Frost has never won three games in a row at Nebraska.

Charles III moves up slightly in my power rankings. Could have moved up to #2 with a regnal name change, but goes from #4 to #3 all the time same. Did you really want to be a Charles in the potential face of upheaval in the Commonwealth? Things ended poorly for the last odd numbered Charles.

William is the new #1, from #2.

Elizabeth II stays firmly at #3 all time, behind Elizabeth and Victoria.

We had nearly hit the 65th anniversary of the Queen taking in a Maryland-UNC game.

quote:

THE QUEEN IN NEW YORK TO-DAY

The Times
October 21, 1957

MYSTERIES OF FOOTBALL

A huge cheer from some 43,000 people greeted their arrival at the Maryland ground, where, seated between the two state Governors, the Queen was initiated into the mysteries of American football. She and the Duke of Edinburgh sometimes looked a little puzzled as the helmeted, padded young giants hurled themselves into tackles from which the ball rarely seemed to emerge; but there was all the colour of counter-marching bands, the prancing drum majorettes in their attenuated uniforms, and the contortions of the cheer leaders, whose purpose apparently is to whip the rival supporters into a suitable state of frenzy. At one moment a huge Union Jack was formed by a solid bank of spectators across the ground from the royal box. A chilly wind blew and the Queen, who arrived in a rose ensemble, soon put on a full-length $15,000 mink coat presented to her last week by an American mink breeders' association.

Other gifts were presented during the match, including old Indian arrows from Maryland and Oklahoma and footballs for the royal children containing musical boxes which play the Maryland and North Carolina state songs.

My $0.02 - Nebraska is going to struggle hard with GA Southern running the triple option this weekend. Our DL is bad and Frost's teams haven't played smart football. There's going to be a lot of blown assignments for big gains.

Nope. They're doing a more traditional style offense.

It'll remain to be seen if it sticks. Chris Hatcher wanted to put in something more modern when he was hired at Georgia Southern, but was run out of town when he didn't immediately succeed. If Georgia Southern wants to recruit on any level, they've got to change. Very few high schools in the state run an option, be it a full-on tradition option or the Wing T. Those who do run those offenses usually do so because they're small schools without the depth (or staff) to compete any other way.

Well poo poo. I remember them being ride or die with the option because of tradition. And the first article I saw backed this up (but in hindsight might have been outdated).

at just over 6' and just under 300lbs, I think his ultimate destination is going to be DT/NT where you can use that lower leverage well. It seems like he's trying to make the transition via not going state-side, so that's interesting. I bet he could walk-on somewhere fairly easily, though, if his grades are good enough to land an international scholarship.

I don't think I'd consider it to be a super long training and transition phase, plus it won't hurt to get some practice and training in a country you can live in visa-free in a language you understand natively before crossing for a 16+ hour time difference and a completely foreign language and culture. I get it, I did the opposite :v: will have to keep my ears open to see if he does try and come over before spring/summer camps next year.
