Yes and no. You need an explosive offense to compete, but of your D can’t get timely stops, you won’t win titles. It’s pretty crazy how much Bama has changed in just the last few years. Their philosophy was shutdown D and running the ball, now they’re a Spread team putting up huge numbers.
Yep, he's one of many that should lose their scholarship and sent back to some backwards town in the deep south to waste his life away. Mike Leach is going to make sure to tell them not to do that.
I'm not sure I've heard many people, including SEC fans brag about conference "rankings" this year. That usually starts when the SEC wins the neutral site games against the other conferences the first 2 weeks. This is about when Ohio State fans start complaining that they aren't ranked high enough. Then the SEC starts knocking each other off a bit. Ohio State climbs due to their stretch of virtual byes that make up their schedule. ND stays in the running with 2-3 losses. Oklahoma homes in hot at the end of the season....repeat about every year
Tulsa out gained Miss State 484 to 271, but mistakes and game circumstances cost them the game. Tulsa was the better team overall. Despite Miss State‘s record they were actually in all but a couple of their SEC games. Cincinnati should be fine. Shouldn’t an SEC bottom feeder destroy an American Conference team?
For whatever reason...Mississippi State has had very little offense all season. They've also had very little discipline. Hard to judge a 1st year coach on player talent, especially when nearly all the scholarship players aren't their recruits...but their behavior is a direct reflection of the coach
Exactly. I tip my cap to Luke for the season and getting them there, but simply running the ball on the final 3rd and 2 would have produced a Bowl win over an SEC team, and a 10-0 season. I'm weary of football coaches who have apparently not learned the lesson of the Atlanta Falcons a few Super Bowls ago. Really smart. really highly paid coaches keep doing this. How does this happen? Why don't they do the obvious? And yet, just watch, it'll happen again real soon. And I'll continue to shake my head.
Cinci except for one very long breakaway early and the run by the punter had nearly negative yardage in the second half. The RB wasn't even making the line before hands on. I felt it was passing option or nothing.
Does this mean Urban has his Off Coordinator now if he jumps to the pros??
Don’t think those two will ever be working together again. Or be on speaking terms for that matter.
I would tend to agree with this.
Maybe, but it'd be a different game if Indy had Penix.
I’d be pulling for them if they hadn’t removed the Big Ten logo from their uniforms and their fans weren’t crying all over big ten network’s posts.
If Kansas can end up with Lance Leipold from Buffalo, that’s a huge upgrade imo. Miles was never a good fit for that job. When Mack Brown went to UNC, they already had talent and a solid infrastructure set up. At Kansas they have none of that. You need someone who will come in, scrap everything and build it back up. Miles was too old to take on a project of that magnitude.
It does feel like a death sentence for young coaches. Hell, why not drag Mangino back? He’s not doing anything.If I was Leipold I would take a hard pass if they reach to me, Univ of Kansas sports in general are a hot mess. The school's beloved hoops team is getting ready to be in jail for some time and outside of Allen Fieldhouse their facilities are some of the worst in all NCAA sports. Their football stadium has all the charm of Welcome Stadium>
