Noon:
Mississippi State (Classic Air Raid)
Tulsa (Briles Smashmouth Spread) (watch how much 1 Back Power they run)
Cincy (they do a lot of fun stuff with the zone run game, IZ, OZ, Duo, Jet, etc, as well as some honest to god, 1908 Pop Warner Single Wing at the goal line)

4: Army (You guys may know this one)


Random opinion: RPO has made football worse. The fact that refs don't consistently call linemen down field means that you can't really play read and react defense in any meaningful way, and you have to just gamble and hope to turn a big defensive play. You'll have your LB keying the guards 7 yards down field on a run, and suddenly it's a pass. It's f'n stupid, and makes the game far less fun to watch, to coach, to be a fan of. They REALLY REALLY need to cut it back to 2 yards (honestly, I'd say make it the LOS like they're supposed to), or make it a 10 yard penalty and start calling it. Something has to change.

Tulsa is GOOD. Here’s a guide to their Veer and Shoot offense

I agree about calling LOS strictly. That should make life harder for linemen, but easier for refs. The first year of calling it strict will be a mess.

Tulsa’s QB ; well let’s just say it’s duck season—at least for his passes

What's funny is I'm not even watching the game. I'm busy going back and forth between answering budget emails and drawing up Pin and Pull for next year for my team, LOL.

I went for a run in the second half, and missed the Tulsa/MSU brawl. From the first half, there was some mutual stuff, but MSU looked less classy to me.
After the game, Leach took the low road. I hope his quotes are way out of context.

I can recall some (only a few) people wishing that Leach had been our coach after CPJ. The post game quotes from him that I have read are below the low road and I'm glad GT didn't go (or possibly even consider) that route. MSU administration ought to be embarrassed about what happened today and how Leach responded, but then, hey, it's SEC football, so probably not.

But did the coaches shake hands for 25 full seconds after the game and exchange breakfast casserole recipes? If not....that's truly bad form...
