In broad strokes, the studies say you should go for it when needing 3 yards or less on 4th down at any place on the field. Converting one 4th down that leads to a TD creates 7 points. You would need to kick 3 field goals instead of converting one 4th down for that to be the better option. And for every time you punt instead of going for it, you…[Read more]

It already happens in every sports video game where the computer plays one of the teams.

I’m in agreement on the incentives from a theoretical POV but I worry that in reality, it will be used as a cudgel to break the contracts. And, to be clear, I would love to see a model that works for everyone. I’m just not smart enough to see it right now.

Imagine a scenario where the QB’s incentive structure is based on pass attempts. The…[Read more]

We just need a contract system already where players can sign contracts with incentives like the NFL since it’s gonna happen sooner or later whether you like it or not.

I don’t believe that would fix the problem. No one can tell Patrick Mahomes when or how often he wants to put his name on something for compensation outside of his contract w…[Read more]

If two conferences losses is considered a deal breaker for CCG, then every game is now make or break. All winning this week does is put the same emphasis on next week’s game. Starting next week, it becomes rinse and repeat until the season ends or the math works for a 3 loss team to get into the CCG.

don’t hang around so long that someone eventually figures out that sandusky has been taking liberties in the showers though.,,

Loosie, you got some ‘splainin’ to do

The problem isn’t the type of injury since pretty much everything has a known standard range at this point. If he who shall not be named until he throws a pass in a game again was a pro, he’d have been immediately put on the injured list for 4-6 weeks to clear a roster spot.

Instead it’s all been subterfuge and half-truths so that the injury is…[Read more]

or The Who.,, won’t get fooled again

Release point is about a foot too low. When Wilson (Isaac) is under stress, he reverts to the same thing which is why you see his ball miss either high or short.

Here’s the gold standard for QB throwing mechanics:

And here’s Rios’s HUDL:

Same mechanical flaw as Wilson so he will be a turnover machine also, if anyone let’s him in a game

that’s good to want to see coaching with class. can we expect you to call out Whitt the next time he’s foaming at the mouth or is that ok because he’s Utah’s coach and he’s supporting his team? I mean, all those HS and little league coaches surely can’t handle seeing Whitt yelling and gesturing at the refs because he didn’t like a call.,,

Now that you mention it, I don’t remember a bad snap this year. If that’s correct, Kump has been doing an excellent job and there’s no reason to change away from what is working.

When Maile and Ford were as likely to make the QB jump as they were to throw a two-hopper, absolutely get under center and play it safe.

Kansas is upgrading their stadium this year (no true home games) but I’m not sure the timeline for completion. If they do as good a job as Oregon State did with Reser, that could be a really good place to watch a game.

Lawrence is kind of like Stillwater in that it is close enough to big cities (KC/Topeka) but you have to decide to stay…[Read more]

She should get extra bon-bons this week for having to play on a very tender ankle 🙂

In that same situation, who wouldn’t want their coach advocating for his team like he did? That play could have been a game changer if he’d convinced anyone to call it the other way

I’m hoping that’s an unfortunate auto-correct

If the types of fouls we had to watch the Pac-12 officials ruin every game with are going to be ignored unless truly egregious, I will be very happy. It was nice watching DB’s being allowed to touch a receiver while going for the ball without 6 hankies on the field every play. O and D Lineman hold each other every play trying to gain leverage.…[Read more]

I much rather when I’m the one taking pot shots at Ludwig instead of having to defend him, but.,, 20 minutes on offense the first half, 22 the 2nd. I’m not sure it’s possible to play keep away any longer than that.

Snowden got picked on in the 4th quarter. He’s having a good season so far but it’s telling when other teams identify a specific player to attack.
