...if you haven't gotten up early-ish on Saturday to go fishing in the Duck pond, then hit Mike's for the crucial 11:00 am burger.
I think you mean 4. HAVEN'T had a late night run of: ... But you're right. Late night DX runs are the only true way to go.
It's impossible to know for sure what the correct routes were without talking to someone within the program directly. However, there are a number of reasons why I believe that
1. Stanford at the top of the formation was the primary receiver
2. Cline was supposed to run his route towards the sideline and not settle in the middle of the field
Let's take a look at earlier in the drive, when Tech lined up in this exact formation and ran the triple option
00:38:14–00:38:25
This triple option play is one that Tech showed often vs Alabama, so ECU had some film to prepare with. Out of that formation, when Tech ran the triple option into the boundary, ECU blitzed their boundary cornerback. That gave ECU the numbers and the leverage to shutdown that play.
Loeffler sees them auto-blitz the triple option, so later on in the drive he play fakes off of that backfield action. The ECU boundary Cornerback sees the triple option action and blitzes, which leaves Tech's WR one on one with a safety.
Stanford runs a double move, hoping that the safety bites on it so he can run past him for a touchdown (See Knowles's success with the double move earlier in the game) but the safety is playing it really conservative. The safety retreats and refuses to get beat deep. As he retreats though, that opens up the space for Cline to get open on a deep passing route.
The field safety has deep middle-third responsibilities, so he doesn't have the necessary leverage to cover a deep crossing route. Cline gets the position on him, and if he was supposed to settle into the zone the linebacker could prevent the catch. Cline continues his route towards the sideline though. This keeps the window open for Logan if he had thrown it in time. His hesitation allows a rusher to hit him as he's throwing, leading to a poor throw.
I lived in Oshwag and had an ashtray in my room that on any given day resembled a bloomin' onion. My roommate and I smoked so many heaters in my room that my loft turned a whiskey shade of brown. I am sure I will pay for my sins one day.
i work with a black ginger. he has freckles and everything. and yes his nickname is 'red.'
Given that the current total number of upvotes is the same as Sam Rogers' number, I'd say so.
Side note: who in the world would downvote this genius meme? Hopefully that one's just a mistake, otherwise there is just no pleasing some people...
Hey, now...
well. safe to say we have a winner?
Well, to be fair they were older alumni. I've had friends who sat in the west stands and they do say it's much more chill. They just don't have the limitless energy of a drunk 20something. My dad always said, you can't jump and scream like a maniac for 3 hours straight when your in your 50s.
And I'm stating this as fact: In the NFL, that play works every time.
That's just not the case. A bootleg is easily defensible even if the play fake is amazing. There are many things a defensive coordinator can do to put his defenders in a position to stop the play if he knows it's coming.
To just say "Every short yardage situation the play call should be play action" doesn't take into account that maybe the reason such a high percentage of those play fakes work is because they are only called when the defense is absolutely selling out to stop the run. If the defense isn't completely selling out, then the odds are definitely better to run then to pass.
The short yardage run may have been the wrong call (I don't even think it was the wrong call, the offensive line should have executed their blocks, but for the sake of argument I'll concede that it was the incorrect call), but it definitely wasn't a "pussy play call".
according to "yelp" tutors on church street in Roanoke has closed... :(
wait a minute... yep, he just scored on FSU again!
HAHAHAH well done, Hokie. The reactions in this thread were worth it.
I think your star should have referenced the singular

I still say the best women in the world are the pale-skinned, red-headed, large-breasted Irish women.
You know the ones I mean
Bottom left...a black ginger?
Have to disagree with you on the 00:06:5500:07:02 play. Cline is supposed to run straight up the field, settle between the Linebackers, who bit on the play action and the safety. Cline overran the play just a hair and didn't settle in to the open portion of the zone. Logan's first read is Cline, and he should have thrown it right at the Ref at the 38 yard line. He hesitated, and was late on the throw to the WR who was already out of his break, which enabled the S and CB to recover and almost pick it off.
I mentioned this above, but the Roanoke location closed last year. And the coffee there was phenomenal. I think it was a local roaster, but I forget who it was now.
There was actually a Tudor's in Roanoke, although they closed last year. I made sure to grab a biscuit on the last day, and there was actually a television crew covering the event. And trust me, as often as restaurants close in Roanoke it is not normally televised. Someone I knew went later in the day and waited an hour for biscuits.
Recent graduate who bought season tickets and ended up on West Side, I sure hope that doesn't happen to me. After the WCU game I'm not so sure it won't though. People around me wouldn't stand or cheer for opening kick, our first touchdown, or the first turnover we created and no one yelled while we were on defense even the first few possessions. Here's to hoping for better environment this weekend.
