I would hardly call what Oregon did "going on cruise control." They totaled 18 yards in the second half. On 18 plays. Their center couldn't snap the ball, the backup QB couldn't catch it, and their offense otherwise was reminiscent of ours in the game against Wake. Utter collapse by Oregon as much as it was a great comeback by TCU.

# | Buzz Williams Addresses Lengthy Postgame Meeting Following West Virginia Loss Except he had already posted a Quick Blog Update at 2:15 PM and continued to bitch and moan. He could not wait to blog about the VT loss minutes after the game.
Yet it is almost midday Sunday and he still has not posted to the Courtside Blog about the VT win.
No. "Back" for Miami means competing for, and winning national championships. If he couldn't get it done at UGa with far superior resources and equal or better talent, then he won't get it done at Miami. However, he will definitely turn them into a perennial top 25 team that will be a tough out for any other ACC team.
On FIOS there is a 'sports package' that includes all the ESPN networks, NFL Network, Redzone and a couple others (notable exceptions are CSN and FS1). This package is $15 a month. This package with basic cable and internet runs me about $80 a month.

# | Galen Scott Will Join Justin Fuente's Staff at Virginia Tech Not a combination involving DC duties, combining inside and outside LB rather than having Bud responsible for ILB and a separate coach for OLB/whips. This leaves Bud free to oversee the whole defense, rather than spending time coaching only a few guys. I always thought the division of work between ILB and OLB coaches was odd, especially with how rare it is that we use a whip any more (30% of all plays).
It is based off the cable TV subscription. I have FIOS internet but not TV and can not use ESPN3 with my credentials.
Do you really think this guy is a better Dc than Foster?
Can I ask based on what evidence. I honestly don't see it.
ESPN3 is problematic for me. For these games, a friend or parent has given me their cable subscription login so I could see these games.
Last I checked, ESPN3 was based off of internet subscription, not cable.
It is a step down but he was unlikely to get a DC job elsewhere. Still a good exciting hire, and the only member of Fuentes staff that has experience recruiting in our traditional footprint
Oooh boy... Mark Richt making moves... also hired Manny Diaz as DC. Could Da' U be back?
Not an X's&O's guy but seems like a pretty fantastic deal for Scott. He continues working for Fuente and will develop professionally by learning from one of the best defensive minds in the game. Doesn't seem like a step down to me at all, especially considering competitive and financial disparities between VT and Memphis.
Nope
TCU with an awesome win to defend the belt http://collegefootballbelt.com/index.htm
Partially correct. I was peaking at it while out at a fam function. I did NOT see the subsequent 17 pts scored by TCU in the 3rd. Really looks like the Ducks went on cruise control and then just choked a big one after that.
Hmm, willing to step down from being a DC to a LB Coach? Interesting, looking forward too see what you X's and O's guys think of him.
Scott could inherit Cornell Brown's previous duties and coach Tech's outside linebackers (whips), takeover Foster's duties, or a combination of both.
Yes Please.
I may have missed it but do we have a S &C coach yet? Many thanks...
I bought an antenna for $35 and, depending on your area, can get you all the OTA channels (usually the big four of Fox, CBS, ABC, and NBC for home games at South Bend, which will be important for us next year). There are usually some local channels, too, and for me in Central PA WHVL has an ACC game at noon every Saturday (and sometimes a doubleheader).
Good call. Interwebs say I will get 52 HD channels based on my location.
I didn't leave out ND to skew the numbers, I left them out because it doesn't help them at all with head-to-head reputation. If we are looking at the OSU-ND matchup, though, it's quite favorable for OSU. Notre Dame was the underdog, and their two best wins this year were actually losses to Clemson and Stanford.
This is no discredit to Cornell Brown, a great Hokie, but I don't think that Bud has really had someone in the program that really had the ability to lead the linebacking core as a whole. I'm not saying that it will happen immediately but if Scott and Foster are able to have a good relationship and there is mutual respect I don't think that Bud would have any problem handing off some of his responsibilities. Having the freedom to roam and work with everyone and see everything could be beneficial to Bud as opposed to having to really be centered in on that Mike and Backer spot.
I believe that Galen Scott and Barry Odom ran a 3-4 defense at Memphis so I don't know if that will impact the transitionary process at all. I'm sure there will be a little bit of a learning curve for Scott acclimating to Bud's defense but in general the linebacker position is the linebacker position. Everything that I have read talks about how smart Galen Scott is so having somebody a little more like Torrian Gray that really thinks about his positions impact on the overall defense could be really beneficial.
French what is your on Scott coaching LB's? They seem to be a linchpin of a Foster defense and I don't seem him giving that up.
Hopefully we'll have more fans in the venue than UVA does. That game with our cousins was embarassing.
Doesn't ESPN have a package by now?
I have cable, but I pay an extra $5 a month to get all their televised games on any ESPN channel. (Had to sign up for a year to get it at that price.)
I did it for one game that wasn't televised anywhere, but I've also used it for a bunch of other games now and the quality is HD.
SlingTV has an extra sports package ($5/mo) that includes ESPNU. Add it for the games you want, then drop it afterwards.
^This x10000. Big disparity between the two, mostly about who's better at their job, imo. Kyle Tucker was much more knowledgeable about the sport of football, which Bitter admits, but he was hired away for more than that. Tucker was definitely talented and we knew it'd be a downgrade but I never thought it'd be a tone issue as well.
I think Kyle enjoyed his job a lot more when he was writing about a good team, while Bitter is the opposite. Maybe it has more to do with personality than homer-ism?
