I don't know but they have pushed out at least a dozen QBs better than the one they started tonight last few years.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Anybody up for the Dino-Jason Beck Bowl tonight, Zona vs. New Mexico? Isn't it ironic how things like that happen?

Just got home and going to watch the 2nd half. Looks entertaining so far.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Man, Dino slid into a pretty sweet gig with this QB and WR. Beck calling a real good game and has himself a QB as well.

 

[Yeti]

Texas Tech really clawed out a win against whatever fcs school they played. Makes me feel a lot better about Ohio lol.

 

[Eric15]

College football is more fun when Miami is relevant. Like, I want to hate them and want them to be a villain.

 

[Eric15]

I can’t even imagine what Vegas will be like today with 30-40k inebriated LSU fans wandering around the Strip.

[Hoo's That]

Sounds about right. Iowa football is like Virginia basketball. Win, but win with defense and win UGLY.

Style points are not awarded in football or basketball.

 

[Hoo's That]

Just a side note. I don’t think I like the 2 minute timeout. I’m sure it will benefit us at some point, but it’s arbitrary. There is no logical reason for it aside from advertising money.

That's the only reason for it in the NCAA and NFL. We used to have 4 minute warning in HS Back in the Day. The refs blew their whistles, a ref went to one bench and said "4 minutes, coach," another went to the other bench and said, "4 minutes, coach," then they blew their whistles to resume play. If it took 15 seconds to do that, it was a lot.

 

[Toga]

I loathe Notre Dame and hate the fact I actually like their HC.

He seems like a very good guy. What you need to do is pretend that the drooling idiot Holtz is still coaching them and the hate can flow guilt-free

 

[anomander]

So how about UNLV with Sluka putting it on Jerry Wilson and Houston 27-7. That will be a tough game. Kind of wish we still have Jerry.

They will be a tough one, especially having to fly cross country to play them.

They’ll get their doors blown off every year in the playoffs even if the get the 5-12 game.

If it took 15 seconds to do that, it was a lot.

They had to reduce the number of plays per game with the new system a CCG loser that makes the playoffs could play 18 games a year if they schedule Hawaii.

It helps comebacks and no one’s ever complained about it in the NFL. Clock stopping first down so you could have a 2 minute 80 yard drive with 10 mins left in the 4th quarter really dragged things out.

There's only one thing that makes games take so long and no one on any medium dares to talk about it. (Hint: it isn't the 10 or 15 seconds it takes to reset the chains on a 1st down.) At least now they're up front about it and have a huge timer visible to everyone in the stadium which lets them know how long this commercial break will be. The way basket ball is played readily lends itself to the miultiples of 4 minutes for the TV timeouts. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a coherent sytem that would work in a "similar" manner fot football.

Arizona is putting up points

Just looked at the box score. Babers Arizona offense put up 61 pts and 627 yds. Becks NM offense put up 39 pts and 471 yds. Guess there was no defense.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Brian Kelly really loves to lose opening weekend.

I’m not sure about that in football.Blowout Wins might get you ranked higher and help you make the playoffs.

 

[Hoo's That]

I’m not sure about that in football.Blowout Wins might get you ranked higher and help you make the playoffs.

But a last-second FG to win 6-3 or 10-7 moves you toward bowl eligibility exactly as much as a blowout win does. At this stage, just getting the W is more important than anything else to us.

I was just talking in general that style points could be awarded in football.

Ever?

You should probably take a look at their offense stats during the Manziel years...guessing that they were top ten in offense those years.

When it comes to underperformance, however, I think Ever is quite appropriate.
