Raku posted:Saban could literally murder Lane Kiffin in the middle of Bryant Denny and not even get arrested so from a certain perspective there could be some pretty great results of Bama didn't score in the first game It'd be a long, slow death too, considering Saban is opposed to doing anything quickly on the field.

Alouicious posted:on the other hand Ohio State is pretty bad, VT will probably win Strength v. strength matchup. I sort of hope we run the ball more just because I'm going to be holding my breath every time Braxton/(Braxton's backup because he's made of papier mache) throws the ball with the corners VT has. However, I'm fairly confident that VT isn't going to exploit our pass defense so it's a toss up.

He won't think twice about putting our corners on an island and make them make a play if it means stopping the run. That matchup is going to be pretty good for the first 3 quarters until our defense tires out (because our offense will go 3 and out over and over) and OSU puts up two quick TDs sometime in the 4th.

Don't know if this calls for reviving the Northwestern unionization thread or not... the NCAA et al. now have another major lawsuit on its hands: Shawne Alston, a former West Virginia RB, filed a suit alleging antitrust violations -- essentially, that the NCAA amounts to an illegal wage-fixing cartel because athletic scholarship values are capped below the actual cost of attendance. The class-action suit seeks to include all former football players from the five major conferences -- also named as defendants -- since 2010. The firm representing Alston is also involved in the Ed O'Bannon case (which, last I heard, had cleared the last hurdles and will go to trial unless the NCAA settles) and a concussion settlement.

Cross post from the hurry up thread, but NCAA changed the targeting rule instant replay bullshit: http://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2014-03-06/playing-rules-oversight-panel-approves-alteration-reviews-targeting quote:The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved an alteration involving the instant-replay review on targeting fouls in college football on Thursday. Also, in 30 days' time they'll be meeting again to discuss making hitting the QB below the knee a 15 yard penalty quote:The Football Rules Committee also unanimously recommended a proposal to better protect passers from low contact at or below the knee.

It's correcting a stupid part of it that shouldn't have existed in the first place (e.g. punishing a team even when it is determined there was no foul).

From what I understand the entire point of the rule was to get players and coaches to take notice of dangerous/ill-formed hits by punishing them regardless, so that maybe finally they'll teach them how to properly hit a dude.

Players will still get ejected for legitimate targeting. Refs seems to be very gun shy about calling it if it would DQ a player, at least this way there would be some penalty. Take away both and this will be overturned most of the time and all that will be accomplished is another time sink.

So, by that logic, if a guy pulls up and doesn't lay out a QB after he released the ball, you should still call roughing the passer because he could have hit the guy.

Very good article at SBNation on how Doug Nussmeier is going to fix what Al Borges broke: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/3/6/5470272/michigan-football-new-offense-plays-doug-nussmeier-2014 Salient quote: quote:His [Borges'] system put major stress on the weakest parts of his team. His attempts to problem solve revealed further flaws in his napkin-domination approach to the game. Michigan switched between primary run schemes on a regular basis, moved young linemen to different positions, and integrated new formations and plays every week, rather than building an identity for the team to become comfortable with.

Troubled Fr. RB Mario Pender, was academically ineligible his first drat year at FSU, which is kind of impressive to do, all things considered. He got his poo poo together and got a 3.4 this year. Usually our academic casualties never pick themselves back up. Good for him. He comes from a really bad area and had trouble qualifying in the first place. Tomahawknation seemed to revel in saying that he won't make it, but he's on a good track

The more padding or armor you have to wear to play the sport, the better, which means basketball is the lamest because you are basically wearing what a lot of people wear to bed.
