I don't know of anyone that would confuse Lee for a Husker fan...

FFA.

There's a huge difference if your entire offense isn't predicated on using a running QB often. The distinction is in that, in a wildcat, you are using 2 very competent runners, as opposed to one very competent (RB) and one marginally competent (QB) runner. There aren't enough legitimate running threat QBs to go around and, even if there were, it wouldn't behoove every offense to turn to using them. In my opinion it is still substandard to a triple-option package, though. this. this is why i dislike the wildcrap. teams that revert to this are cheaply covering for a marginal qb, by installing another marginal qb. Agreed. It's funny because I tend to think of offensive styles are cyclically en vogue. It seems this is a variation and one that wants to say "wow a running quarterback really is a good idea" yet saying "we don't value that enough to make it a full-time position." It just goes to show you having a higher quantity of competent ball carriers is harder to defend, just like it always has been.

Just play. The entertainment is the game; not the post play actions. This goes for all sports at all levels. Wrong. Spikes' TD celebration/punt might be the greatest football moment ever. Wow, after your buildup I was thinking that was going to be something special. It was very uneventful and certainly not anything close to the greatest football moment ever.

It says on their site they were "UPI" National Champions. If I recall that poll came out before the bowl game. Certainly doesn't justify them claiming it but, when you have 350,000 different polls, a lot of different teams claim they are the National Champions. That's also where Michigan claims they have 79 or whatever ridiculous number they try to claim.

I forget the passes that were thrown in his other games this year but it seems to me during the Arizona game those were timing routes that he was asked to throw. I can see how he wouldn't be as good as Lee if Lee is spending more game time and probably practice time with those receivers to have the timing down.

I think it's a little much to compare Paul to Percy Harvin.

Count me as one of those who think those "cheers" are lame.

Booyah.

I don't know, I'm not thinking the Gay-S-U game is going to be too easy, especially since it's away and they have Snyder. Like it or not, they will be ready to play and having another year in that system could pay them dividends.

I'm going to have to go with Arizona. So satisfying to see, as others have stated, complete domination on both sides of the ball.

Flavor of the week

Jesse Palmer. He said it was a "match-read" (I think) and explained it that the defensive backs read the routes and matchup based on that. Hence receivers will be open one second and not the next.

I think you would be really shocked by (and have missed) what was and was not sarcastic in the OP. Fair enough. I skimmed it.
