Man, I was thinking last night about making a thread about this very play. That goes differently, and maybe your whole season/program is headed in a different direction.

He's a FABULOUS football player. I think your odds of winning increase dramatically if he doesn't play. I hope he doesn't play.

I think this is a good observation. I also noticed he stopped trying to cut, and just said "f it, i'm the fastest guy in the stadium", and started to just pick an angle and GO. It meant that sometimes he missed out on yards, yes, but it also meant that he could just put his head down and grab...

indidentally, why does Jim Hart have such a hate-on for CPJ?

LOL! What a pull!

I mean, you could EASILY finish with 9 wins. 8 wins isn't that crazy of a prediction.

BELIEVE ME WE'RE AWARE

I think that luck matters more than some people want to admit. Positive luck this year, negative luck in other years. The VT game could have EASILY gone the other way about 5 times (4th and 15, Snoddy's near safety), and if that game goes the other way, who knows how the season goes. Now, of...

You are #12 in the country in Takeaways, despite being #64 in total defense. This seems to intuitively match the notion that Roof has the team playing a very aggressive, aattacking, high-risk/High-reward system. You will give up plays, but you will make plays, too.

I grew up (and live) 20 minutes from the campus, in scenic Herndon, Virginia. Tonight, my beloved Patriots got waxed by Cornell. Cornell. Cornell, coached by Bill Courtney. When Jim Larranaga was IDIOTICALLY allowed to leave for Miami, Bill Courtney, a former Coach L assistant was...

Ah, well okay then :)

I remember thinking at the time "well...that's a heck of a call...I don't know that I've have had the confidence in my guys to call a dive in this situation". Turns out neither did PJ :)

He might be better than Clowney was as a freshman. He's really, really, really good.

More statistical goodies. GT is #15 in the country in Turnovers forced, http://www.cfbstats.com/2014/leader/national/team/offense/split01/category12/sort03.html GT is #76 in the country in Total Defense, http://www.cfbstats.com/2014/leader/national/team/defense/split01/category10/sort01.html...

Their O isn't as much of a strength as your fans are making it out to be, at least by the numbers.

Which matchup is that?

So, I'm a big fan of FEI's efficiency ratings, especially this late in the season (the outliers have had a chance to work themselves out). Right now, Clemson has the second best defense in the country: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feidef And GT has the best offenses in the country...

So academic year/semester doesn't quite = athletic year/semester. Yes, I think it does. Thank you!

AE, but if we're saying that JHD would be eligible because it's a new semester, wouldn't that mean they do?

Valid. I wonder how you could separate out tempo effects. Perhaps Punts/Drives? (punt percentage)
