Week 7 Discussion

Re: Week 7 Discussion

No, teams running more plays doesn't make it more hardcore. Teams hurrying to the line and running more plays were a reaction to the running clock, otherwise teams would have less chances to score without the normal clock stoppages.

Why else have offenses evolved the way they have?

Because it puts the defense in more vulnerable positions?

I don't know how many people remember him but this reminds me of that crazy Penn State fan from a few years ago.

Your wife's alma mater begs to differ.

Yeah, they are on another level.

I know, I heard this before. A while back someone said he thought I was a banned Penn State fan who used to frequent this board. Who was this guy and what happened?

Re: Week 7 Discussion

I had a big response typed out for this, but then I decided it wasn't worth it. All I can ask is how much Miami football you have watched in the Al Golden era? If you have watched any significant amount and can tell me with a straight face Al Golden is a good football coach, then I will be at a loss of words and we can just end it there.

The fact that Al Golden has a career record that is right around 1-22 against teams that finish with 8 wins or more says enough about him. Or the fact that he gets outscored in the 2nd half of games at 3:1 ratio. Or the fact that him and his best friend's "great unique defense" have broken records at Miami for giving up so many yards.

I am not saying they are national title contenders because they are far from it. However, with Golden they aren't even division title contenders and they never will be with him as the head coach.

I still have no idea why you believe Miami to be as talented as you seem to think they are. They aren't quite simply.

He went on about how big their stadium was thus they were the best fans, and that USC didn't really beat the brakes off them in the Rose Bowl.

We had an ASU fan of similiar Ilk around the same time.

Well there's been other rule changes that have put defenses in more vulnerable positions. Like targeting, and stricter 15-yard penalties for roughing the QB and hitting players after they run out of bounds.

Those things move us farther away from hardcore football, but spotting the ball quicker has been a recent point of emphasis for officials. What happened was they realized that spotting the ball quicker gave defenses less time to sub, which became a player safety issue, so refs were told not to spot the ball as fast anymore.

Hurry-up offenses were still utilized before that rule change, just not to the extent of that they are now. All the various changes have a net effect of making the game less hardcore. Not only that, but we're seeing a lot more delay of game and 12 men on the field penalties depending on how quick they spot it.

Re: Week 7 Discussion

i hate icing the kicker or the idea that it "works". its nothing more than a guessing game. that said, it worked out in the favor of the trojans.
