Great facilities upgrade. Comparing it to Maryland, the only thing I'll say is Maryland's feels like a much more open space. I think it's the low ceilings on ours, but if you get half a dozen guys lifting at once, I'm gonna bet it might feel a little claustrophobic.
Also with the lower ceilings, I'm hoping it's got a top notch ventilation system
I'm just glad our odds are higher to have 11 wins than 1.

So our odds to finish 11-1 have multiplied by 25 since last week. I approve.
I also enjoy seeing that we allowed 0 ppp for a whole game
I'm not sure what this comment is trying to add to the conversation. In some games, points will be hard to come by. Texas A&M in 2002 comes to mind. But that's not at all what Glennon and Holt are talking about. Calling off the dogs was one of Beamer's trademarks.
I like that we scored infinite times as many points per play as BC. I'd like to do that more often.
Dat Massey ECU outlier tho... 10th?
Somebody finally had to say it.
Are we the only Defense utilizing this "nickle/whip" hybrid?

Yes, but it worked for many years, and well.
The inability to change philosophies as the game evolved caught up to us.
Which is why Foster is such a gem; he clearly evolves and is not married to a particular scheme. (Yes, I just read Mason's piece on Mook.)

Stop the run first, by playing a nickel defense?!
Whaaaat?
My mind is blown.
Great piece.
Too bad they couldn't score 24 in the orange bowl in 2007, or against BC.
Pretty slick. This is like what Florida State has done with football by using the GPS vests in practice and developing their own analytics based off of the data. Don't Fuente and Corn use VR for the QBs to rep plays at any time they want?

*I hate Penn State and couldn't bring myself to pick them..I honestly don't think Michigan will win by 3 scores but here's to hoping
Wisconsin at Michigan State -5.5
Pittsburgh at North Carolina -7.5
Florida at Tennessee -6.5
Penn State at Michigan -19.5
Stanford -3.5 at UCLA
Arkansas vs. Texas A&M -5.5
I got to shoot around in the practice facility and mess around in that new weight room the weekend of the Liberty game.
It's nice as shit in there lemme tell ya:
If I was a recruit, I'd be impressed.
Hmmm. Why not be excited about both!
Great article. How do you see Mook covering if another team uses a "Bucky-type" (large body TE/WR in the slot.) You mention Mook's size, and given the two options for safety coverage (with Mook's off-man) or one on one, I'm curious.
We use Bucky's size to stretch the field; if an opposing player has 4-5+ inches on Mook, stretching the field, that could be a problem.

Excellent piece of work here. I appreciate the in depth analysis that also is presented in a clear and easy to read format.
There was a video posted of an interview with Mook and they walk through the locker room and he specifically mentions that it never smells in there because they have a great ventilation system. I would assume that they same thing would be installed in the all the weight rooms as well.
