"It was a draw play, we ran it earlier in the game," Lawson said. "We ran it up the middle, but this time they were prepared for it. So I knew I had to do something different when I saw the linebacker. So I went and bounced to the outside and got out to the edge, and I was able to score."

this is fantastic to hear.. Lawson was able to quickly diagnose that the LB was waiting for him in the hole so he said adieu and bounced it for a TD.

The sad thing is, I've seen that guy in Blacksburg. And no, he wasn't a visitor...

This is why if you're objectively criticizing individual play calls, you're usually focusing on third/fourth downs and even then looking at them in aggregate. This is exactly why stats about conversion percentages are so indicative of success.

For the last several years, the coaches put together a package of questionable calls or non-calls and submit it to the conference after every game. The conference then evaluates the claims, makes a judgement call, and then meets with the officiating crew to go over the calls and educate them on what might have made it a bad call. It's an ongoing process throughout the season, and is one reason why you might see a lot of a particular call at the start of the season that diminishes as the season progresses, or vice versa.

As for its effectiveness, that's basically the process through which GT finally got called to task for CPJ's chopblockalypse. So the process can be effective. Unfortunately it's an inherently reactive process. Nothing can be done to correct the errors of the previous game, just attempt to prevent the same errors being made going forward.

Beat me to it Max, that's what I get for not refreshing the page after being away from my desk for a while.

It would've been big, but my Hoo friends still wax nostalgic about stopping Warrick Dunn on the one yard line. I think that's gotta be it for them.

I didn't see this guy in the picture, but rest assured he was somewhere in the stadium

I could only find one bow tie, but DAMN DO I WANT TO PUNCH THAT GUY IN THE FACE FOR WEARING A BOW TIE TO A FOOTBALL GAME!!!
