Man, great find. It's not just us that can't stop mobile QB's, or have we already forgotten how effective Tyrod and even Logan were on the ground against some pretty good defenses?
This has been alluded to above but I feel it needs to be said...I just can't blame the Defense for the Tenesse debacle. Yes they gave up plays but they also did enough to give us a chance to win. The days of dominant bone crushing defenses are ending with the modern offensive evolution of the game. The Offense cannot turn the ball over 5 times...fix this and we probably win...get rid of the boneheaded penalties and I guarantee we win with that defensive effort.

On a scale of one to we'll all end up in jail, how illegal is it to form a CFB line betting hedge fund?

Boy did it ever collapse....

The jury is only out among the O&M glasses crowd. If I could see it in brief snapchat clips -- and there's been little to contradict it so far -- you can be assured opposing coaches are seeing it.
I'm not saying he doesn't bring something to the table - and probably more than the other options right now. But pass velocity is not a strong suit for him.
Also, I don't know if they still do it, but some years ago I got some old school Converse Chuck Taylor's, you can customize them on their website, so I made some nifty o & m ones.
I have never seen a worse display of defense than Cuse vs Louisville. I'm pretty sure Babers spends 90% of his resources on offense because that defense was a crime. Louisville went untouched for half their TDs. If we don't put up 45+ it will be a bad game
I think this will be a great test of confidence for not only the players but the coaches in offensive play calling. I hope we don't give up on what worked against TN. Take the learnings from the 2 nd and Third Q and make the adjustments.

Maybe i'm still riding the preseason over-hype train. But I still feel like we can acheive 8 wins (not including a bowl game)

And the answer is probably similar.

yep, I'm not the slightest bit worried about BC. We could not have shot ourselves in the foot more against Tenn and it was still a game with 12 minutes left. BC does not have the weapons on offense that Tenn does and I trust our play callers to make BC's defense look silly enough.
27-10 sounds about right, with at least one of our TDs coming from special teams or defense.
Didn't their DC leave for Michigan after the season? Or am I thinking of someone else?

# | After Still More Struggles Limiting a Mobile QB, Justin Fuente Warns of Patrick Towles' Talents Well, 50% of the BCS home game wins in the sample were by more than that...
Florida State -2.5 at Louisville
Alabama -10.5
Oregon +3.5
Texas A&M +3.5
Notre Dame -7.5
Ohio State -1.5
I'm not sure what I'm more surprised by. That the computers give GT the edge over us or that we are 81% "likely" to beat Cuse. GT looked like garbage against BC in Ireland. I watched Cuse against Louisville and their offense looked pretty decent to good.
OK, you tempted me to start myself. I have several, but at the moment I am reading The Big One by David Kinney and just finished Cod by Mark Kurlansky. Highly recommend both as novels in general, fishing in specific. More this winter.
Yea unless we get a defense TD like last year, 27 will be very hard to crack.
