College Football - Week of 10/13

[TruffleShuffle]

One of the biggest mental mistakes you'll see. Stunning.

 

No kidding. If Cal runs the table the rest of the way that play could cost them an NC shot. Unreal.

What exactly happened, for those of us not watching?

 

cal had the ball at the osu 15 with about 15 seconds left, and no timeouts left. The QB dropped back, looked around for a few seconds and the scrambled and was tackled in the middle of the field. Game over.

 

This one's on Tedford too. You have your backup QB in there with no timeouts and 15 seconds left. By running another play when you don't have to, you're just asking for something to go wrong and there are many more things that could go wrong than could go right - and that doesn't necessarily even have to do with a QB's decision making process. The QB could trip and fall and you're screwed. It's just not worth it to run another play there.

 

I agree to some extent, but I do think you can have the QB drop back, look for one receiver, throw it to him if he has a good look, and throw it out the back of the end zone if it's not there. That's a simple play with the potential for a big reward, and little risk. However, it doesn't seem like the QB was instructed to do this.

 

btw did anyone notice that the cal QB ran off with the ball after getting tackled? He was trying to get off the field to let the FG team get on, and he forgot to leave the ball on the field. It was a total brain meltdown by him.

Andre Woodson is the best QB in college football bar none. In fact he is probably the best college QB since Carson Palmer.

 

Vince Young says hello. For proof:

 

2005 NC game vs USC: 30-40, 267 yards, 19 car. for 200 yards and 3 TD's.

2004 Rose Bowl vs. Mich: 16-28, 180 yards, 21 car. for 192 yards and 5 total TD's.

 

I don't want to say that he single handedly won the National Championship, but it was pretty damn close and not just the USC game. Easily the most dominating player of my lifetime.

I said QB, not RB. Best QB since Palmer.

Last time I checked, Vince Young did not line up at running back. If you are going to say 'best QB' you can't just dismiss what a QB can do with his legs because that factors into the equation as well. What you're going for is 'best passing QB' since Carson Palmer. And that's different from just 'best QB'.

Not sure if anybody saw this but Boise St. beat Nevada 69-67 today in four overtimes. Boise needed a field goal as time ran out to tie the game at 44 and send it into overtime. Boise won when Nevada's 2-point attempt in the fourth OT failed. Nevada had 639 yards of offense while Boise had 627.

Can anybody answer this question? What would have happened if some guy on California just committed a personal foul with 6 seconds left and the refs are forced to call it? The clock would stop right, and California would have time to spike the ball after losing those 15 yards. Interesting question.

I know the pros have 10 sec removed from the clock in this situation. I am not sure about college.

[Exile on Waveland]

I sat in the second row on the 50-yard line for Michigan-Purdue. For Free. Amazing weekend.

[wolf stansson]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, CAL!

 

 

LOL

If you wanted to see the players you should have had seats by the Purdue defensive goal line!

Do they do it for personal fouls though in the pro's? I thought it was just false start penalties but I'm not sure.

I turned it on midway through the 3rd quarter. Much more exciting than the snooze-fest that was on NBC.

I believe it's any penalty called on an offense

That was the saddest/funniest part. The running off the field with the ball. I hope for Cal fans sake they lose another game because that's got to suck that 1) they won't go to an NC game because of a backup freshman QB and 2) they lost the way they did. It's not like Cal is USC, Florida, etc. where they'll have many a chance to get back to an NC.

When I was at the Northwestern vs. Duke game, Northwestern was driving in the last minute down 6 points. NW's QB committed an intentional grounding penalty and there was no runoff. This struck me as kinda odd, so my thinking was that there is no runoff for offensive penalties in that situation.

 

But it's kinda weird since it allows an offensive player to commit an intentional penalty to stop the clock. It's kinda like fouling intentionally in basketball.
