Easy to play to play the coulda woulda shoulda game I guess, but it seems like he could have just taken a couple of steps to the right to keep those trees between them.

It felt like the moose was just doing quick geometry in his head to see if he was gonna hit the trees when he charged.

Butch's offense ran through the QB. there too was a greater demand on the RB. Which is hugely ironic that RB's want to play in that system versus this, which rotates RB's, and uses pulling, and creates large chunk plays (supposedly). QB is asked to be cerebral, know the defense. WR's are just as important, as TE's. The C is QB of the line.

Which one of those is more in line with an NFL system?

Huepel knows his team well. Ins and outs, stelnghths and weaknesses. He still knows what he wants to do. With Hyatt he wanted movement, creating mismatches.

The only real criticisms I have with this years offense: Other than the crappy WR and PB woes are:

1: Lack of off tackle runs. Pin and pull is term Ive heard. We run it to perfection. We have a speedster. We can beat 80% of teams to edge.

2: We run tons of PA. Vandy bit on it. Georgia had athleticism to make up. Time and again we see Nico make plays off kilter. He is a killer off RPO. Thornton's best route is crossing route. Why, do cram go routes down throat?

Loved what we did versus Vandy. Design Nico a run. Much like Pavia, it gives him confidence. Slap in helmet so to speak. Wakes him up. Pull ball, make them account. Then boom! TD!

3: Red zone woes: 👆🏻 ditto. hard to criticize here bc of controlling clock. But when we are down 19-14 you gotta find that hot route.

It took us 12 games to find Sampson in passing game😤 check down, 5 yards. 3rd and 2. Run it, keep it, check down, bomb pass, slant, TE wheel, 4th and 1.

Much more attainable.

The open plays have been there EVERY FREAKING GAME...Heupel is a play sequencing son of a gun, so all those plays you hate, set up the open plays which have not been executed.

Our problem is execution...not play calling.

Pin and pull is a Gap Scheme where pullers and pinners are based off Def alignment and not predetermined. Some of Nicos runs are this type, some are reads. Sometimes the route choices are based off whether middle of field is open or closed and sometimes based on QBs accuracy and execution throwing inside. As an earlier poster stated, Freshman QB not the best situation in this type of Offense as a rule. Only cure is game reps and time.

Word choice matters here: are you “penalizing” them for these teams being unexpectedly bad or are you “rewarding” them for playing a schedule softer than other teams? Every team that gets a spot takes one from another team. I don’t think it makes sense to evaluate a team’s schedule based on whether teams have been good in prior years.

You do penalize them in a way, in that you expect them to be closer to perfect the easier their schedule is. 2 or even 3 losses in the SEC can be forgiven; but with OSU schedule, you need to be pretty close to perfect. If Indiana can drop that many spots for 1 loss, shouldn't OSU as well? Especially since they lost to a team at home that Indiana beat?

They deserve to be in the playoff, but they should drop as far as Indiana did in my opinion.

If Texas and Oregon win we're likely a top 6 seed. If Penn State and Georgia win, I think we'll be sweating to get that 8 seed.

Really how I see it playing out. We know top 4 will be conference champions, SEC & BIG10 are given...Boise if they win, SMU if they win, but either of them lose and Big 12 will be in. Notre Lame will be the highest at large I think then it'll depend on the 2 games mentioned above. Cause Oregon and Texas likely don't drop behind us with a loss...and Ohio State will also be getting heavy argument to be ahead of us still so tonight's rankings we want to see Ohio State behind us.

Agreed. We really need Penn state to get blasted by Oregon. That's our best chance to lock down a home spot. Even if Texas loses, unless they get crushed, they'll probably still be ahead of us. So we need uga and Penn state to lose by as much as possible.

The committee won't drop anyone out of a playoff spot for losing the champ game, but if they get blown out, I bet they'll drop them a few spots at least.

I'm shocked you have this opinion lol

My post was apolitical. Everyone having the same opinion is boring imo, it doesn't matter which side.
