The level of confidence Tennessee fans are showing about next week when they haven’t beaten Bama in 15 years just feels like tempting fate.

If Milroe is starting again that confidence is warranted.

I’ll feel better about next week if Tillman is good to go. I’m not feeling any confidence in beating Bama. My stance for this season is I’ll believe it when I see it

A lot of encouraging signs from the Aggies’ offense this week; offensive line seemed incrementally more cohesive, probably got the most capable performance we’ve seen from King yet, and most importantly the young receivers seem to be coming into their own.

Tonight wasn’t a win on the scoreboard, but taking it to the wire on national TV is a big save of face for the program.

Right up until the final goal line playcall that was universally derided with scorn and bewilderment, sure, I guess!

But the fact remains that the winds seem to be moving the offense to merely bad instead of terrible, which is cause for celebration when you combine it with this defense.

Speaking of improvement to merely bad, UConn is on a 2-game winning streak and sitting pretty safely outside of FBS’s bottom 5.

Sans the Hunter touchdown, Robby Ashford was 12-of-37 for 102 yards. Probably at least half of those were him intentionally chucking it to the sideline at the least amount of pressure.

They’ve certainly looked like a better team so far but they’re still Bama and as vulnerable as they look now they can still roll over anyone on a good day.

That is amazing. I'd expect this to start being a go to counter to onsides.

But I imagine it will be super difficult to pull off since:

You can't signal until after the bounce, so timing can be tricky
The ball actually has to be heading toward you

I also imagine that stacking the line with 8 or so players all of whom are frantically signaling Fair Catch is not going to pass the smell test either.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
SDSU was averaging 65 passing yards per game with Braxton Burmeister.

This week they took a safety on the team and moved him to QB.

He threw for 322 yards and a TD.

We demolished Auburn and only really played about a third of a game to the level at which we should be playing. If we could play all four quarters like we did against Oregon, it would be great.

It is clear that Kendal Milton is not a long term solution for us at RB. Stats say he is the best RB on our roster but his hamstrings are made of playdough and he just stays banged up. Edwards and Robinson need to be getting the bulk of the carries. Robinson plays a lot like Chubb where he is a one cut bruiser, and we really haven't had that the last two seasons.

Stetson seems like he was playing hurt and just sailing balls. I get that our top 3 WRs are in some form of walking wounded status, but its gotten worse. On the other hand, his 64 yard touchdown run was cool, he always seemed quick but it was great to see him actually outrun a lot of the Auburn defenders.

I’m not sure on the rules, but I imagine the ball has to be in the air to signal fair catch, so a rolling onside can’t be fair caught.

I believe you can’t fair catch a ball that’s already hit the ground, which is why onside kicks are kicked the way they are.

From the rule book - a relevant portion

quote:

“during a free kick, a player of the receiving team in position to receive the ball has the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the ball is kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven to the ground, strikes the ground once and goes into the air in the manner of the ball kicked directly off the tee.”

They are trying to get rid of that high hop, that is the dangerous part in an onside kick. Teams will figure out a new way of kicking, getting it to roll more or whatever.

Rewatch the video. The ball never hits the ground. So the new rule doesn't even apply. The receiver gets catch protection regardless of if he had thrown a fair catch signal. (Although it was still incredibly smart!)

The ball would've had to have landed untouched or essentially been fumbled on the catch - where you can't hit the guy - for TTU to recover.

e: I conflated things in the second part. That part is more related to illegal touching than fair catch.

I thought the same thing but when you slow it down and try frame by frame it kinda looks like it does.

I didn't realize that OU was so down. Riley really cleaned them out. Venables will get so much money to walk away when they eventually bring Heupel home.

Billy Napier better get some 4* and 5* guys in to carry his play calling ASAP. Appalling QB stats from AR, why not try putting an actual QB under center instead of a stellar athlete with a gimpy ankle?

:lol: thanks FSU for giving me some hope for the rivalry game.

Ah, one more!


We knew UF was going to be a project, but I thought with good coaching we might see a bit more consistency.

AR can go off for 450 or sub100 week to week. Receivers never seem to get open. The defensive backfield gives HUGE cushions to receivers, and doesn’t play the ball in the air well (UF gave up conversions on 3rd down distances of 18, 22, and 19 in the fourth and Mizzou was 9/17 on 3rd all day). The front 7 against the run is hilariously inconsistent—probably 75/25 huge run vs overwhelming TFL.

On the bright side the OL seems to be pretty good, the running backs are consistent and we’ve cleaned up penalties A LOT over the first few weeks (we had 1 false start for 5yds yesterday, which is wild).

Napier’s play calling is dead conservative—hopefully just due to personnel—and it’s disheartening to see route trees within the sticks on 3rd like ALL THE loving TIME. Full BrianSchottenheimer.gif.

I’m starting to question the wisdom of bringing his ULL d-coordinator with him. He seems overmatched and has given up a loving TON of rush yards including 286 to loving USF. I’m hoping again this is a talent gap issue.

He will get time and I think he should—he needs it. I just wish there were more encouraging signs of progress.

alright so the big problem at ou is qb; dillon gabriel being out really hosed them and since spencer rattler is chasing sec glory they’re pretty empty at that position

the defense is bad because ou’s defense is always bad and traditionally they just scheme around it

i think venables can get it turned around but having to resort to installing the wildcat in a week against your biggest rival is not, uh, great?
