At least he won’t win a Darwin Award…this time.

That is all well and good, but good luck getting Trump out after that. Finding votes is what Merica does best in north and South American elections.

That is a wild ride. I would venture to guess he is telling his truth and that is just crazy.

Mizzou had quick success in the SEC. They fizzled after year three and took a decade to get back to being anywhere close to the fray again.

Guess what? Republicans choose a dictatorial, authoritarian, lying, rapist, so now we have to keep the Democrats bumbling old man. Choices have consequences.

Looks up infrastructure bills recently… Your on to something.

Yeah, but that is schedule related. FPI has UCLA 40 and Nebraska 41. In the wins thread, Kelly Ford has UCLA 32 and Nebraska 42. Have the record at 5.5-6.5 for UCLA and Neb 6.5-5.5 just means Nebraska has an easier schedule, but not considered as good as UCLA.

Which was also funny that, after Chip left, I just chalked it up as a W. Then FPI and what not comes out and there they sit at a spot or two above us. It will be interesting to see what changes in the overall style and team coordination from Kelly to Foster. I am guessing this may be more of a W in my general feel as you dig through the specifics again with personnel and coaching changes. I guess I am more confused on why they are still listed so high in preseason models.

With Chip Kelly leaving, I didn't realize DeShaun Foster was their head coach. I didn't even know he was a coach. Dude was a beast back in the day. This is one where we need to grab a W once the back end of the schedule kicks off. This one sets the tone after tOSU if we are still just average or if we can get back to being a contender in the conference.

They lost most of their offense with Tory Taylor being drafted.

Another piece, how much of our limited passing game hurt our ability to get RB rushing yards? Having a competitive passing game means you can’t leave 10 defenders within 7 yards of the LOS. Also, we need to stay healthy in the backfield as well.

Sounds fun. We don't need to be complicated for UTEP. If Raiola is the guy, give him full reigns and work out the bugs against a team that is completely rebuilt. If he has struggles, this is the game to work through them. Pull this out once we hit the tough sledding: Northern Iowa challenging us with a consistent team and philosophy, Colorado out gunning us early, Bielema weaseling out a early lead, Purdue making our first road game a mess, these are the times to "cheat" yourself into an advantage. Pull out the wrinkle you know is there and make the next team go, "hmmm, that is interesting."

That is where the big money is. A bad playoff game has less volatility than a poor/marginal regular season game.

Let’s not and say we did… The triangle backs had a good run there with Martinez and some other schools in the early 2010s.
