Are you sure Chad L posted this? I am not on X but this says "To: Chad Leistikow". Is he writing this to himself? And it doesn't sound like anything that he would write.

We are not built to have a high success rate on two-point conversions. Which is why I asked before we ran the first one, why are we doing this? Once we missed it the first time and with the score what it was, you are almost forced to go for it the second time. It's easy to second guess and I...

I thought the two long runs from Gronowski were just good runs by him. What I was shocked at was how the Penn State defense completely blew it on the two bootleg runs he had. On the first one, he scored an easy touchdown and the other sealed the win. On both plays, not one defender stayed...

I watched the replay today. It was 2 hours 27 minutes and there were zero commercials. It skipped over all of them and I did not have to fast forward through anything. It did have some of the halftime show but again, none of the commercials. That was a nice surprise.

I would rather have them defer. Our defense usually takes one drive to adjust to the game so get it over with. Also, I like getting the kickoff to begin the 2nd half. And if you're lucky, you scored a TD or a FG with under a minute left in the 1st half and that builds real momentum.

The more top level coaches that get these types of extensions, the more the pool shrinks to Matt Ruhle. Marcus Freeman will be the next announcement of a big extension and raise. Ruhle does have to close out the year on a positive note to make himself more attractive, or at least plausible to...

We will cheer for you, no worries.

The Iowa fans will remember that game and the effect they had on the outcome. Especially in the North end. I look for a loud and rowdy stadium Saturday night.

The backup quarterbacks are at minimum better if not way better than what we have had for several years. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I think they like what they've got. I'm getting this from some of the podcasts that I have listened to over the past two weeks. One of the things...

I like how you think. :p

Lester has compared Hecklinski to Tate. Says he is a "gunslinger". FWIW, when Warren Ruggiero was OC at Wake Forest, he thought that Hecklinski would end up being a four year starter there. I get the hesitancy to anoint a 5'10" QB but I do think it's a possibility in college FB. I'm not...

Kirk said in his post game news conference that Hecklinski had practiced well and passed Brown. My gut feeling is that this came from Lester, who really seems to like him. Kirk did say that it was still very close and not to make too much out of it. But I got the feeling that if Gronowski...

If Graves had scored it would mark the 17th consecutive year that our defense has had a pick six. And we don't have one this year yet. I would hate to miss out on what amounted to about a foot short.

Possible they were saving that for when it is needed more than this game. If you can run it down their throats and you're up by a comfortable margin the whole game, you hold off on that bag of tricks. I agree with the idea and I do think we'll see it at some point.

Yes, our opponents have pretty effectively sniffed out the jet sweep to Wetjen. Which is why they should be using it as a decoy as Fry suggested. If you put him in motion it makes the defense hesitate for just a split second. Which can make something else work in our favor.
