Don’t get me wrong, I’d enjoy being in the right side of a 73-7 type game for a change. But given how we’ve looked in the last couple games, I don’t think it’s in our best interest to ‘try’ to destroy them and create even more intel on us. Now if our backups end up doing that, all the better.

I suspect it was. But we all know what opinions are like. Change any variable, not so much, e.g., we’re down 4-7 points, time is more important since we’d need the length of the field, or lessen the game time to one minute left vice two, decline the penalty since time is more precious. I...

I’ll bite. If this logic held, we might as well shut down the internet. And I’ll add to my list of non-qualifications: I’ve never been an AD for an NCAA team either. So any criticism of Stansbury keeping Geoff for 3+ seasons was invalid too, right?

Winning in a blowout fashion makes fans feel good, but there’s little correlation to future performance against decent teams whether we win by a pedestrian 20 or blowout by 70. I just hope the staff knows what they’re doing and can prepare our players for Louisville. It’ll be ULs third game and...

Clemson looks angry. 35-0 first quarter against App St.

Probably the same as most of us. What is your point?

I actually typed something like that into ChatGPT for shiggles. It says take the damn penalty.

Cal Berkeley picked right up where they left off last year against Auburn. Gutsy win for them in a game where it was 11 vs 14, just like last season. Of the ACC newcomers, SMU looks awful and woefully overrated. I may not remember things well but many teams start with four non-conference and...

NIU is elite

At least we weren’t playing Northern freaking Illinois today.

Your contributions to this thread have been as colossally valuable as a center column for an arch.

I think you’re missing my point. I’m not comparing Key’s decision to decline the penalty to Cristobal’s decision to not take a knee. I’m stating that Saban’s Alabama team did the exact same thing that day that Miami did when the game could have been won with kneel downs. Alabama did not fumble...

I shared the Nick Saban example to prove that point. Both he and Cristobal made the exact same decisions (ironically on the same day) but one is a buffoon and the other went unnoticed. We have a lot less margin to get away with making less than optimum decisions.

It was so bad, I made a whole thread to talk about analytics. It’s not rocket science but wait, we already do rocket science?!

Singing praises of Syracuse is Geoff Collins speak.

I highly doubt this. Last year, the ending to the Georgia Tech / Miami game was incredible. Ironically, the very same day (10/7), Alabama led Texas A&M 26-20 with a fresh set of downs with less than two minutes on the clock and no TAMU TOs. Alabama, coached by the great Nick Saban, called live...

The awful decision by Key to not accept a penalty to make it second and miserable for Syracuse when we had all three timeouts got me thinking more about analytics. There’s no guarantee what would have happened but the most likely scenario was we get the ball back with one timeout left after they...

Key is 0-2 coming off of bye weeks (2022 at home and favored against UVA) and (2023 at home and favored against BC). This year we’re at home and favored (likely) over Duke. We have significantly underperformed coming off of bye weeks.

Another terrible coaching decision. With all 3 timeouts, we should have accepted the penalty. Yes it’d give them another down but less likely to pick up a first down.

Well we opened the 2020 season with a 3 point win over free shoes. And then in our third game, we **** the bed and lost by 17 to Syracuse. FWIW, we also beat the breaks off Loserville that year. Just be careful about looking up many other results…
