None of that would have been necessary if the penalty wasnt picked up. They would have been able to just run right up the middle until clock was at 3 seconds to kick FG.
Stanford doinks a kick but is bailed out by an FSU offsides call. 3-3 in the 2nd. If the Cardinal can pull this one out it would definitely go down as one of the funniest outcomes possible (and maybe be the nail in Norvell's coffin?)
I disagree that it would be a homerun hire. I referred to Sheldon's article in another comment. I just don't think it's a good idea to hire a coach fresh out of the the P4. I also think he's too old. I think we need someone younger. Someone with fire and something to prove. Franklin would come here already having proven himself to a degree. I just think this would be a pre-retirement jaunt for him, akin to pro soccer players taking their victory lap in the MLS after they've kind of spent themselves in Europe.
That said, I don't think we'll know if any hire is a "homerun" until after 3 full seasons. There are some coaches I could get excited for. Then there are coaches I would be pretty disappointed with. Invariably VT will manage to hire a coach nobody expected and I won't know what to think about it.
All I know is that after 3 full seasons there is always enough evidence to know whether the coach is working out or not. We'll see what happens
They also threw a backwards pass out of bounds
Defender still had both arms around him and threw him to the ground. No matter where his foot was.
Missouri should have been in easy FG range and have been able to run clock down to 3 seconds but that picked up flag was ridiculous.
I'm so afraid that Chesney just took over a jugernaut. We need someone who can drive investment in the program AND coach ball.
I have literally no clue how they wiped that out. If Auburn wins this game, you can solidly point to that right there as a big reason.
Wasn't as bad from the other angle. Foot got caught on the defenders leg when he popped up
Missouri and Auburn both doing their best to not win this game before OT
I honestly don't know if there is a head coach that would move the needle more on a DMV recruiting area level
Charles Huff would be interesting. He wouldn't be the splash that Franklin would be, but I think he could go head to head with Locksley.
mansoor needs some good ice skates
Auburn just got away with a blatant unsportsmanlike penalty that was flagged and picked up.
Cornerback after tackling WR lifts the WR back up and slams him to the ground.
Completely changed game. Would have been a 35 yard FG...now they have been moved completely out of FG range.
Can I interest you in a saturday evening read?
And also apparently Mark Stoops is on his list. Is he just naming people he personally likes?
Probably people he coached with or coached against. I think he thought highly of the gameplan Stoops installed in the 2019 bowl game.
Also, makes you wondering what his hiring would have been like if he was an HC.
Notre Dame gets the INT on a Drones like throw from USC QB with two receivers wide open and about 15 yards of open field in front of him to run.

...USC tight end with zero field awareness running out two yards short of first down
As the great poet TO once said, Get ya Popcorn ready
I would be okay with Franklin. I honestly don't know if there is a head coach that would move the needle more on a DMV recruiting area level or on a national program discussion level more than him. Likely he would end up having the same issues if he got us to big stage games, but to even get back to that level there's a mountain of work to do.
Notre Dame just got away with brutal PI and were almost awarded an INT
Should have also been hit with a facemask
Forcing USC best receiver off the field because defender ripped his facemask off his head with no flag
Auburn and Mizzou duking it out to the end. 17 up and just under 5 left.
Notre Dame working on closing out USC
I knew to not be fooled after turning on the BYU/Arizona game last week when I just wanted to watch BYU lose. Not watching WSU give the game over saved me some disappointment.
The first play was great. Then they shit the bed 🤷
I would bet $100 that Bob Chesney is a better coach than whoever we end up hiring. If we don't hire him, I'll be shocked if we are even competitive in the game vs jmu next year
Honestly we are probably better off with FSU winning out so they keep Norvell another year
