You are wrong.

Agree for the most part, but Mark has been slow on his reads. A number of those incompletions could have been good had he thrown the ball earlier

SI.com is one of the worst sports sites out there

The difference in speed isn't that great. He played on two Championship teams in FCS so he's faced a lot of good competition and athletes

Where did you source this stat? Link?

Yes and No, especially on the "doesn't need to". There's a reason we haven't been able to beat any really good teams for years. A great D and special teams can only take you so far. 8 wins/yr, Yes. Big wins, you need a little more. We did it with Stanley, Beathard and others before. Why not now?

TD/INT is a key stat. MG is 3/4. Not good. He throws some nice balls but is often late with his decisions.

Yes they do. But that doesn't prove that receiving the ball is the reason for it.

Just for yucks I looked it up. 134 teams in FBS. #67 is Stanford with an average of 229 yards/game. (Yes, I know that's the "median" not the "mean" but it's what was available). Close enough So "average" would be 229 yard/game

Strawman. Nobody suggests we need an "elite" passing game. Just an average one.

9-3 with no Top 25 wins won't do it. Have to beat Oregon. USC may be in the TOP 25 by the time we play them (they have Nebraska and NW) but beating them wouldn't be enough. Have to beat the Ducks. Most of the playoff projections have only 3 B1G teams. Nothing short of 10-2 will get Iowa in.

Two questions: 1. Where does one find such a stat? 2. Is that because of the strategy? or does KFz take the ball first when he feels he has a stronger team (more likely to win).

But do you want them there starting the drive? or in the red zone if they're getting close?

Campbell has it pretty good at ISMoo. Low pressure, no NC expectations. I think he sticks around. I also think he's not as hot a coaching prospect as some think he is.

The jet sweep is now what the wildcat became. It's no longer a surprise and as such much less effective than when it was new. As Fry said, when your fastest player comes in and lines up to go in motion across the backfield people notice.

I think you mean "Banana Ball". It is entertaining. They're the 21st century version of the Harlem Globetrotters for baseball. They sell out everywhere they go.

"Bunny Ball"?

This keeps getting bumped and I keep chuckling at the Subject line.

The Belichick hire was very shaky. A career pro coach moving to college? Naw.

He is pooped. This should be the last year. Let's hope there's a plan in place and Beth is talking with potentials.
