Ever since the ECU game, i've considered every game this season as a trap game.
Duke is doing the same thing in the ACC that Minnesota is doing in the Big Ten. If Duke went to the ACCCG to play FSU, I'd be happy to see them earn it. Hey, they beat us. If GT and Miami lose again, we win out and Duke wins out, I think they go, don't they? They'd be my second choice...
He didn't on Saturday. He wasn't particularly on-target early in the game, but started to absolutely dominate about halfway through the first quarter. After one post route to Stanford that was broken up, I don't think he threw another bad ball.
I can respect that. I mostly post that for the lolz anyways.
Or we combine it all and enter the matrix.
The only other team that could would be Texas. I'm not entirely sure, though. They're always in the same conversations about 10 win seasons and BCS bowl bids as us.
So I guess that leaves one solution... Connor Jessip.
Yes.
I don't think your fourth bullet point is correct. I think the lower ranked of the non-AQ qualifiers is simply an at-large. From same source:
No more than one such team from the non-AQ group shall earn an automatic berth in any year, unless non-AQ teams finish both No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings. (Note: A second team may be eligible for at-large eligibility as noted below.) If two or more teams from those conferences satisfy the provisions for an automatic berth, then the team with the highest finish in the final BCS Standings will receive the automatic berth, and the remaining team or teams will be considered for at-large selection if it meets the criteria.
I always like to see Aaron Moorehead and Logan interacting...in life I'm a big fan of cross-discipline collaboration and training, and it's good to see these guys doing it as well on the field so visibly and so often.
Any Calvin & Hobbs mention, picture, or avatar deserves a turkey leg!
Nope. For a 3-way tie, it's division record first.
Only after a few more levels of tiebreaking. Divisional record prevails in this scenario.
UNC will likely need that Duke game for a bowl. 4 wins now with @ Pitt, v. ODU and v. Duke left.
My thoughts exactly.
Doesn't win percentage factor into that degree of tiebreaker? In that case, Duke would go given their record (10-2) would be better than our record (9-3).
You can't run the stretch play if the TE and OT's can seal the edge. Your examples demonstrated vast improvementon that block this week. Maybe we are seeing more comfort with Cline and McLaughlin?
(I've thought for a while that Malleck's loss was by far the biggest we have had this year. It's probably cost us a game, maybe two. It's been hidden because Cline is an excellent pass catcher...but his blocking is a work in progress. And, no Malleck also changed who we had in for our goalline package.)
First series of the 2nd half I thought Greene was in for Bonner, and then when Miami went into the shotgun Bonner came in for Trimble.
Was Greene playing FS with Bonner out of the game? I saw Greene playing FS with Bonner playing Nickel late in the game.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm rooting for Georgia Tech on Thursday. If they win and we win out, we go to Charlotte. Worst-case is a 3-way tie with Duke and GT, and we take that tiebreaker on division record (4-1 to 3-2).
That and I would find it hysterical for Duke to finish the season 11-2, as long as it doesn't impede our chances of going to Charlotte in early December.
If you're looking for an uncalled for, unreasonable, lazy and uncreactive attack, "Stinefuck" is a pretty good example. Just drop it. You may not care about losing turkey legs on nearly every post now, but in my mind I'm ripping one from your hands, taking a huge bite, and smacking you in the face with it.
This was my opinion as well. I was never for Leal taking over the reigns and leading us to the promise land because he was so good. Just to relieve Logan when he plays really poorly.
Logan usually telegraphs how hes going to play very early on in the game.
We'd vector consider the direction of this conversation, as well.
Thx french, nicely put explanation. Was thinking it had to be something similar, as I find it unproductive to begin an inquiry by assuming that highly paid professionals are incompetent (though, sadly, sometimes they are).
I was worried my question would be taken as a rhetorical venting, when in fact it's straight up serious - we haven't been showing the full complement of pieces it takes to make this offense work, and it was clear from how some relatively mediocre defenses made plays on us the last couple weeks. So, thanks again for the response.
I have watched the progression of this and of that either installed or progressed while we scratch our head and say, "Why is Thomas getting all this work?"
I really do think this is the scheduled implementation of the scheme. Everything was scheduled with the hope that at the Miami game we would be able to execute all the various installed pieces and win enough games in the meantime, leaning on The Defense and Thomas along with whoever showed up as a playmaker.
The thing is, because we couldn't run counters and all the things to make the various pieces work. In the meantime, we run as many options and let Thomas see if he can work with the limited schematic tools in place.
It worked to an extent. Leaning on Thomas so much generated errors. It also generated wins. Alabama loss was expected. Errors lost Duke and BC. But, everyone came together when the tools were all pulled out of the box and used. Because all the tools were used, execution was actually easier.
Like French says, each piece keeps the defense from cheating.
I'm just curious if the coaches pointed to a spot on the calendar with their bony fingers and said here, this it eh critical game, it must be right here at the Miami game. Try to win every game before that with as many pieces have been taught at that point, not before, except the Alabama game.
ah, musings, nothing to back it up.
