Maybe when 2 of our top 3 RBs aren't out for the season...

*flashbacks to our last QB from Tulane*

... Psst! Dylan Raiola is still in high school. He wouldn't be doing us much good right now.

Funny thing about being lucky: luck has a way of running out on you...

Doing a little more poking around at the stats, one stat that doesn't look good at first glance is our red zone stop rate. We're #89 there, allowing opponents to score about 87% of the time. But on the bright side, our red zone TD allowed rate is #23 in the country - it's our FG % rate that's awful, at #130. So opponents can usually score on us if they get into the red zone, but they're having to settle for field goals a relatively large portion of the time - touchdowns are hard to come by.

It was a good sell, even the cameraman bought it.

I've had a few bosses that I'd say were too nice or too laid-back for their own damn good. I liked them, they were nice to be around, but they never really cracked the whip enough to keep guys in line and doing their jobs. I think Frost is probably like that, and in a different way so is Riley.

Damn, that's a lotta s#!tty QBs...

Yep. The computers like Maryland mainly because they put up big numbers against Michigan State, Indiana, and Virginia. Each of those teams has just two wins this season, and Virginia is the only one with a win over a P5 team. Michigan State and Indiana are tied for dead last in the Big Ten. (Believe it or not, neither of the two worst teams are in the West!) After that, Maryland put up 27 against Northwestern (#70 scoring defense), 24 against Illinois (#84 scoring D), and they did manage 17 against Ohio State (#2 scoring D, actually the most Ohio State has given up all year).

Not in the current CFP format, but with the future 12-team playoff format, maybe?

I remember T-Mart preferred more broken-in balls over brand new ones.

Officially, at least, Brian reports directly to the AD, rather than to his dad. They structured it that way to get around anti-nepotism laws. So the AD doesn't really even need to tell Kirk to pull the trigger, here.

I wonder why anyone would give a s#!t about that today...

Yeah, I'ma be donning an eyepatch that day and looking for a 'third-party stream'. *coughsportsurge.netcough*

Wisconsin: 24.8 PPG Purdue: 21.9 PPG Northwestern: 21.8 PPG Minnesota: 21.1 PPG Illinois: 20.4 PPG Nebraska: 20.3 PPG Iowa: 19.5 PPG In this division, we play DEFENSE!

The computers still love them some Maryland, eh?

Always wondered what might have been if we could've seen freshman running T-Mart combined with junior passing T-Mart...

Iowa's got the easiest schedule the rest of the way. We're their toughest remaining opponent.

"We couldn't fix any of these other guys, but this one guy who's clearly even worse than any of them, I'm sure we can fix him!"

Or Casey. Though I wouldn't take Tanner Lee...

Also depends on whether any punishment comes before or after the CCG. If it drags out long enough, Meatchicken could still play in the CCG.

Purdue hired a Colorado player to be their coach. That he didn't really deserve. There were a half dozen other plays in that game where if we hadn't screwed up on any one of them, we would've won the game - they would've made O'Hanlon's play irrelevant to the outcome. But people only remember the last one...
