On October 5th at 2:30 a.m., a car driven by Florida State cornerback P.J. Williams turned across oncoming traffic and was struck. Williams and his two passengers—which included Ronald Darnby, FSU's other starting cornerback—fled the scene on foot. They later returned but Williams, who was driving with a suspended license, wasn't tested for alcohol. The police reports don't note whether Tallahassee police asked Williams whether he'd be drinking or why he and his passengers ran away, nor did it note that the airbag deployed in the other driver's car, cutting and bruising his hands. Williams was only given two tickets.

All of this is from a New York Times story, which follows up on their blockbuster report from last month detailing how Tallahassee and FSU police have protected Seminole football players for years. They don't investigate thoroughly, they don't include routine information in their reports, and they extend benefit of the doubt that they rarely give other offenders.
<snip>
There is also the possibility, though to be clear nothing close to solid evidence, that on the night of the crash the FSU players were involved in a gas station robbery. At almost the exact same time the crash occurred, a nearby Exxon was being broken into. An Exxon surveillance camera captured video of the crash, as well as the robber walking out with "an armload of merchandise" towards the corner were the accident occurred. The break-in remains unsolved.

Anyone watching Cincinnati - ECU? Any clue at all why Cincinnati went for it, 4th & 2, 2 minutes to go, up by 5, on their own 30?

When a first down wins the game you should have faith in your offense to pick up two yards.

 

You should have faith in your defense to not give up a 70 yard drive, instead of giving the other team a short field. It was a terrible risk to take. Even Tuberville (Cincy coach) admitted after the game "It was a stupid call."

 

 

You give the defense a chance to stop them from 30 yards out. And the other reason turned out to be the actual one, if ECU is going to score you would rather they do it quickly so the offense gets the ball last.

Need some schadenfreude? turn on NBC as we blow it again.

 

EDIT: ND could have won by taking a knee. Instead we run the ball, fumble, NW kicks fg for OT

NW called timeout with 1:36 left on 2nd down. ND would've had to run off 16 seconds on 3 plays in addition to the 40 seconds between plays. Probably could've done it, but it would've been close.

If ND can manage 3 seconds on 2nd and 3rd down, they punt in NW territory with 10 seconds left. Even a blocked punt gives NW the ball with 6 seconds left not in fg range.
