I have come to truly respect Notre Dame. I like what they represent for the most part. And, their president had a ton more sense than ours in recent political-nonsense events. I'd say they line up with GT in general in a lot of ways, and at least in regard to a few particular issues, their...

To me this article is a subtle yet damning indictment of football factories like Ole Miss and the wink-wink relationship ($$$$$$$) they have with the ever-hypocritical bastion of academic integrity, the NCAA...

Shhhhhh, someone important might hear you.

I've got a little conspiracy theory. I'm wondering if CPJ put those gold jerseys on the QB's to get Marshall to think more as a distributor in the offense instead of always thinking me-first. I'm not saying Marshall is a selfish player at all, just that he's got such ability that it's hard not...

I don't think it's a "polished QB" thing. With CJT, we stoned Phillip Rivers and every QB the mutts threw at us (after the first year or two) including Shockley and Stafford. And, we admittedly got burned by a few that weren't as heralded (Fresno St, Utah), but I think it was those systems...

Seems like Coach Owens can't help himself but to throw in some QB "coaching" sometimes too, as a former QB in their position. I like that.

That's probably an underappreciated point. An abnormal amount of games in the rain may very well have had a significant effect on the 37% completion stat. More analysis needed.

It suffers because we just wasted a possession with a long TD pass and don't have the ball as much. Also the defense suffers because they've got to be on the field longer. We should all be anti-long-TD-pass. (/sarcasm ;))

Dang, Smelter was a great player. But, what that video reminded me of was his (and Justin's) ability on the medium comeback route. It's really an option route where the WR is reading what the DB is doing and has the option of beating the guy deep or cutting the route off as a comeback. This is...

If it really is effort, then I agree with you. A lot of times, lack of effort ends up taking care of itself because that kind of guy ends up miserable, disconnected from the team, object of wrath from coaches, perhaps even encouraged (but not forced) to transfer/quit ... that usually results in...

This is an important point. I'll also add the totally weird recruiting situation with the former-commit whose family had the run-in with the security officer who some said could be really good, and there's one more down.

CPJ said something in the last interview that wasn't satisfying for us propositional truth seekers. Regarding the OL, he said WTTE "The guys who have played were pretty good, and the guys who haven't played weren't very good." So, is it that those second OL guys aren't very good because they...

I think your first rule just eliminated us from practically ever getting a transfer and did not eliminate any of the possibilities of transfers to the factories.

And, comparatively across majors. What does a 3.0 in INTA mean vs a 3.0 in ChemE?

It was like a 4.6 or something. I saw Giff Smith time him and he ran a 4.6 with an absolutely horrible get-off. That's why 40-times don't often tell the story of how fast a guy really is - if a guy trains specifically for running a 40 with the start and everything (plus it depends on the...

I don't know how fast Camp is. But, just his body type and even demeanor remind me of Bay Bay. I don't know if he's as athletic as Bay Bay - that's what made him special - stronger than a LB but smooth and explosive too ... with size. It seems Camp has some of the tools ... looking forward to...

I thought he would've been a good fit at DE in this scheme.

Ha! Close. I think I would say, "The victory is won. Party time!"

Lots of good comments in this thread - very informed, wise, enjoyable fans on here. I agree with @ilovetheoption, that the name/concept of this defense is the Slant-50 ... kind of like the best name for our offense is the Spread-Option (which is how CPJ thinks of it), as opposed to the wishbone...
