The highest percentage of run calls in any season was the year we had Greene, and that year, 61% of our plays were running plays. Every year has been consistently 45% pass and 55% run....except the year with Drew Tate and no runningbacks...but even then, I think it still around 49% pass/51% run.

Yeah, I just figured that out. They cut block 70% of the time and chop block 10% of the time. Twice the left tackle has engaged with the defensive player just before the left guard dove at the guy's knees. This was all on Oregon's first extended possession (after the fumble). I wonder if Oregon...

First, I thought a chop block was simply when an offensive blocker dives below the knees of a defender, but according to Wikipedia it is a little more than that: "Chop block (American Football), a play in which one or more players of the same team are in contact with an opposing team's...

Yeah, watching AY in the NFL, he just doesn't have the size or speed to gain yards. And with the poor blocking in Childress' screwy offense, even Peterson was struggling for yards. That's why I say "by extension." Just like Norm Parker is, "by extension." And I think there is some connection...

Any defense, regardless of scheme, will look weak when you have as many injuries as the Hawks have had. The packers made the switch from a 4-3 base to a 3-4 base, and they basically just gave Aaron Kampman's sack totals over to Matthews. Clay Matthews doesn't have many tackles, just a lot of...

I was very glad to see Brad Childress go, but it looks like the hawkeyes may have lost a pretty big supporter. Childress is an extended part of the Hayden Fry coaching tree as he got one of his first assistant jobs under Barry Alvarez. And Childress has kept Albert Young with the Vikings since...

Did you like the game on Sunday - Moeaki's first game back after a concussion and he was constantly double teamed. That opened all those huge plays up for Bowe. I don't think Tony had a single catch in that game, but he was a game changer with his presence. You'd think he was Randy Moss or...

Same here, it's pretty childish of him.

Extremely well played!

If this is UNT here in Denton, I think they have a bigger and nicer stadium than ISU. He'll probably be much more successful there. :) Of course, most of the high schools around her have more resources and football revenue than ISU.

Um....you need to look at something else in the ESPN article that reports the Shannon firing - today's loss was to USF, and their stadium had about 45,000 empty seats. That doesn't happen at Kinnick when we play UNI. The Miami AD can't afford, financially, to have that continue - almost like the...

I've seen this same thing happen with the Vikings over the past 5 weeks or so. Coach Childress lost the players a few weeks ago and they started looking out for themselves instead of playing hard. With Childress it was his over meddling in the offense and trying to control Favre instead of...

No, he got it wrong last week and everyone in the thread corrected him, and he's still getting wrong.

Do you realize this hwks1 is the same guy that posted his astonishment at 5 losses after the OSU loss? I think he's joking...but I'm not getting the joke.

NU really isn't that good. Having Persa out didn't make the defense give up 70 today.

Maybe that's the goal. Have a horrible season after a really, really good one, so that the following season we have a better than expected season and our staff has "overachieved" once again, done more with less, etc. etc. To the guy that sarcastically compared Alabama's slide this year to ours...

Man, I hope so. The report that Wilf didn't say anything to the media, but left the locker room "angry" is definitely encouraging! Sometimes I wonder if Childress gets his offensive game plan from Ken O'Keefe (*after the hawks have a nice lead and we go away from what got us that lead). Adrian...

Just checked the box score for the Texas v. K State game: K State has passed for 0 yards and they are up by 24 points. Only 2 pass attempts, 27 rushing attempts. And they are about to score another touchdown. Unreal.
