What little bit of MB stadium I experienced, I enjoyed. I was seated in corner endzone at the opposite end of the stadium from the GT band and on the home team side of the stadium. My season tickets at BDS are at about the 10 yd line. As best as I could tell, I was at about the same height...

As I understand it, one-score games are considered to be random outcome events and so the win probability is 50%. Winning 3 of 4 last year represents a better than expected out come and, thus, the team should regress to the mean this year by winning fewer one-score games.

His mood is what it is.

I think the critical thing is that they love to play and compete and that they love being part of the team. So far as I understand, they are treated like the scholarship players in every way except that they don't have the free tuition, books, and allowance money. So they do have material...

Agree, but recognizing that Matthew Jordan was here last year and that he is still competing for the starting role as opposed to having clearly claimed it, it very strongly suggest a big step back at the QB position for this year. Now that doesn't automatically mean the position will be a...

It looks like #28 (AB in motion) blocked the wrong guy.

Look at def #41 & #51. They are completely shut out of the play by the push of the OL. All lateral movement by the close in defenders was cutoff. The only defenders who can move laterally are the two guys at the at the 8/9 yard line and even they are a bit affected by the mess that is...

I agree. The safeties at 8/9 yard line are clearly watching the potential ball carriers. They don't come up for the tackle until Mills commits to a running lane and it's obvious the QB and AB are faking it. Unfortunately for them Mills doesn't have to commit until he's at the LOS and then...

I would go with Shamire Devine on offense. I hope he becomes a bulldozer that clears out running lanes wide enough to drive a semi through. I think if he could become real effective at pushing DL-men around, his size will doubly capture the defense's attention and thus allow the other OL-men...

I think part of the reason why is because the defense is usually either charging the potential ball carriers or moving laterally and the fly route let's the AB zip right on by, as shown in the clip. If the receiver is going to blow past the defender, why do anything other than maximize the...

I've found that using cut blocks in pass protection by a RB is quite common, in any offense. I don't have a feel for the percentage of time the cut block is used, and I'm sure it depends greatly on the blocking skills of the RB, but you do see it quite a bit. I've always assumed it was because...

I would expect that JT had a fair amount of latitude. It could be he had a play or two in reserve, but judged they would no more effective and so stayed with the relatively safe option of a straight handoff.

For the conference, the answer is either one or zero. For the division, the answer is at most three (09, 12, 14).

Seeing that there is no one to block to the DB at the top of the screen it seems to me that the success of the play depended entirely on either that DB flowing with the motion to either take himself out of the play or setting up a one-on-one matchup between the runner and a defender. I don't...

I guess that play was a belated retirement gift for Frank Beamer. There wasn't a single cut block.

Maybe it is just the viewing angle, but to me it looks like the DE was in a position to play both the BB and the QB, so I would have to grade the play as an F. If the DE could have only played the QB, then the play as it ran might be correct. The OLB #49 looks initially looks like he was...

If the offense is exceptional, then it'll be an 11 win season. If the offense is above average, then it'll be an 8 to 11 win season, depending on how good the defense is. If the offense is merely average, then it'll be a 6 to 8 win season. If the offense is below average, well, that's why...

CPJ said he was told later that MTSU did have GT's defensive signals.

They each lost games last year which means there is a blueprint for defending their offense. So, they are having to install new offenses that don't have a blueprint for defending them.
