Why are Boise St. and Miami not being dinged for SOS like the Big 12 teams are? Boise has played one P4 team.You all know that a one-loss Big 12 team would never be ahead of a one-loss SEC or Big10 team because of SOS. That same SOS component doesn’t apply to the Big12 compared to the MWC? Another thing. BYU drops because of all the close wins?…[Read more]

…and with Oregon already in the Big10 CCG, that would mean three former PAC 12 teams making a CCG in their new conference in the first year. Ya know? The pathetic, lousy, embarrassing PAC 12 teams who couldn’t cut it nationally?

Makes me feel bad for a guy like Damien Alford. I watched him at Syracuse and he’s talented and could’ve helped us. Apparently, the offense was too much for him to grasp in his one year here. His Senior year!

Changes mine. Finally a good angle. Too bad ESPN can’t afford more cameras. The only thing left that bothers me is how long he waited to reach for his flag. Was he waiting to see the result of the play?

UteBaron89 replied to the topic Kickoff Strategy in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

If this is the case, it’s a great example of analytics being stupid or used incorrectly. All analytics should be is weighing risk/reward ratio. If the analytics are telling them that kicking inside the five, by average, rewards you a few yards of field position WITHOUT weighing the risk, then throw it out. I’m at the point where I believe the sta…[Read more]

UteBaron89 replied to the topic Monday afternoon QBing here. 59 seconds calling TOs vs 49 seconds no TOs in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

I have no issue with the strategy in general, IF you have all 3 timeouts and can actually leave significant time for yourself after a FG attempt. We only had 2 left. So, there was no way we could stop them from running the clock all the way down unless they made a mistake (going out of bounds, throwing an incompletion). In this scenario, the…[Read more]

Does anyone know if the strategy was to kick short and force a return or if the kicker was supposed to kick to the end zone, but wasn’t capable? Another thing; I’ve always been frustrated with who is put on kick-off team. If you kick into the end zone, go ahead and put your walk-ons, coaches sons, etc. on it. If you actually have to cover a kick,…[Read more]

UteBaron89 replied to the topic Defensive Playcall from Sideline in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

See 89-yard TD run vs. Penn St. in Rose Bowl. They scouted it and purposefully reset and looked to the sideline to cause Utah to do the same, then quickly got back to line of scrimmage and snapped it. It was totally by design. Caught the front seven standing looking for call. They must see this as the type of thing were they risk getting caught on…[Read more]
