Nobody Speak by DJ Shadow featuring Run the Jewels
The Hawkeyes take a lead into halftime with 54 total yards of offense.
Kirk Ferentz is cut from the same cloth as Beamer.
Baylor currently has the lead on Oklahoma.
It won't last, but nobody saw this coming.
I swear to God, if Clemson fucking loses...
No
I feel bad for this generation of cadets who have to do push-ups during the Fuente Era.
Holy shit that looked like a Logan Thomas QB sneak.
Offset I form play action pass for a touchdown!
Apparently we're a futbol school.
Bronco isn't half the dipshit Groh and London were. For all the people saying Boise is down this year, London's squads would have still found a way to lose to them. Bronco is getting buy in from his players.
We're gonna make it 14 straight this year, but I also think the Hoos make a bowl.
Not trying to throw out the outlier, just saying that they've had two games giving up around 4.5 ypc and one giving up 9.6 ypc. They're averaging giving up 6.1 ypc with a standard deviation of 3. The standard deviation is half the average. There's not much predictive power there.
Besides, it's obvious that JMU's run game coordinator is an excellent coach, and any program would be lucky to have him on its staff.
Screens and veers for days?
Now I see where you're coming from. But consider:
- We outperformed WVU's average YPC allowed by 17% (5.2 ypc vs 4.44 ypc allowed).
- We underperformed vs ECU's average by 13% (4.63 ypc vs 6.01 ypc allowed) but ECU's ypc defense is heavily weighted by JMU running roughshod over them for 9.6 ypc in the opener.
- We also had a higher YPC against ECU than WVU did (4.63 vs 4.49), and WVU is 25th in the nation in YPC (5.44).
All this to say, I don't think we can make any valid inferences from YPC, good or bad.
Let's hope they're blocked field goals and not PATs.
Mason and French may know how to diagram a play, and what an "Inverted Veer" is and what a "Linebacker" is
Yeah, but even with that outlier, our rushing game has been respectable on average through three weeks. The claim that we haven't been able to establish a run game against mediocre competition just strikes me as lacking a statistical basis, unless there are some metrics Joel is using to reach that conclusion that I'm oblivious to.
This guy's just an angry middle aged douche.
and the lack of a Hokies ground game against even mediocre competition
... ?
We're 40th in the nation in rushing offense and averaging over 200 yards rushing per game, a number that's hurt significantly by shitting the bed against Delaware. From what data are you extrapolating that we are struggling in the ground game?
Just over four hours to go. Our man still holds a narrow lead.
This is strong work by everyone except the camera operator!
I died.
Specifically, the rule is "target and make forcible contact." The word target excuses incidental contact to the head and neck. As Too Druck to Funk pointed out elsewhere, if all forcible contact to the head and neck was targeting, every defense in college football would run out of eligible players before the game ended.
I really get a "Bud Foster of offense" vibe from Fuente. He's gonna look at any opposing defense and find a weakness. It's just a question of how well can we execute whatever we've got to do to exploit the weakness he finds.
To have a review of this detail up less than 24 hours after kickoff is insane.
Was the play action pass out of the offset I (People's first TD) run simply to put it on film for Clemson?
