I've been onboard with teams going for it much more often than they currently do on 4th downs. I'm not sold on the onside kick idea though - just too high a risk for such a low return. Not to mention - after you do it the first time I would assume your likelihood of catching them off-guard goes way down and makes the recovery rate even lower.
I agree that just seeing the box score stats doesn't tell the story of how Lawrence is doing this year. He's been running the ball more this season and quietly has 5 rushing TDs. People expect to see 400+ yards with 3+ TDs every week in the box score but if they don't watch the game the miss why he doesn't have those numbers.bigmarc27 said:
It's a bold strategy to tell the other team before hand that you may onside kick every time. But they'll probably only kick to Bama once either at the beginning of the game or after the half.
Pitt has a stadium?!?I've been to a few big college stadiums and very rarely have thought this is the nicest/crappiest looking stadium. For as cool as they may look on the outside they are all crappy on the inside
eta: hmm that made me think - trying to go throught the list. We started a tradition with my dad and now sister of trying to go to one college game every year the past 10 years or so but it doesnt always happen. My dad doesn't want to go too far West
Notre Dame
Tennessee
Clemson
Florida State
Miami - this was awful
Alabama
Pitt (old stadium)
Penn State
Texas A&M
Georgia
I'm forgetting a few more... Always a good time
Pretty bold to assume Tennessee is going to have more than one kickoff in that game.
It's not just the volume stats that are bad. 8ypa and 62% completion are both poor for an elite college QB on an elite college team. Not to mention the INTs.
I’m a Tech grad and think this is bad advice - when you factor in tailgating, atmosphere, co-eds, drinking/bars, 100k vs 50k and the game you’ll get it’s impossible for me to endorse this recommendation.
I get what you're saying but I believe those percentages would be higher if he had more attempts and time against teams like Florida state and Syracuse and Charlotte where he spends most of the game on the sidelines. The INTs don't concern me as some of them were on desperation throws trying to make something happen (one or two were at the end of the half). The worst one that was almost a pick 6, it was explained that the WR went the wrong route and wasn't where he was supposed to be. But even that one, Lawrence hustled and prevented points. My concern after the first few games was his inaccuracy with over-throws. He's since been much better with that. And this year he's been more of a running threat.
I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. If you want big game atmosphere and a gameday experience, UGA. Bobby Dodd among the skyline is a much cooler stadium experience though. Sanford is bland and trying to walk through the narrow corridors is awful.
I've been to Jerrah world for a college game. It's a magnificent building, but too damn big. I much prefer the college experience, especially if the stadiums are on or near campus.
Agree with both of these, but if you've never been to a Saints game, that should be on your radar screen too. The Superdome isn't marvelous, but the people and the fun are hard to top.
Good tip. I was in NOLA during the NFC Championship weekend this year. That is a town that loves their team (and their booze)
I have one college place on my bucket list: https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/video/1327030851648General Malaise said:

Yes. Ridiculous.
jeep and Cappy are like...old buddies. From the way way WAY back machine.
I thought we worked it out with Joe so that we could be unexcellent to each other in this thread.
Jones is an Arkansas guy, not OU but I can definitely see him making a run at Riley after this year. Time for Slappy Tomato Head to go.
I didn't mean to imply Riley is Switzer 2.0, just the situation in general (OU coach going to work for Jerry). I think Riley will do well in the NFL. Agree that it's time for STH to go.
Pittman is there best target. Breeland is a big loss though. Oregon is the better team. Game is similar to last year with roles reversed. Should be close game.
Honestly never heard of him until today.You seriously don't think Pittman is money? You are in for a treat then!
Switzer had also been out of coaching for six years. Riley has the perfect setup in Norman--complete control of the organization. Who in that position would leave to be constantly second-guessed by Jerry Jones?
Lots of boring matchups this season so far, and burnout on the same old Alabama/Clemson ####. At least Wisconsin is interesting.
