College football week 14 thread: The Last Boise Scout

Thinking the same thing. Dude, if you can't make the call to go for 6 from short yardage in Tuscaloosa (even with a half of football to play), you don't need to be coaching at Auburn.

Field goals aren't going to beat touchdowns today. And don't tell me "that makes it a one-score game." Because if you don't have the courage to go for it there, what kind of play do you have in your back pocket for that 2-point conversion?

 

No chance they’d have made it.

 

All I can think is he wanted to straighten out the angle on the field goal and thought he’d see if he could get in QB sneak range for his trouble.

I tend to favor kicking in the last minute of the first half down that deep because there isn’t enough time left to make pinning them to the goal line pay off.

 

Then just kick the field goal. It's not like they could've gotten a first down, or moved from the 6 to the 3 or something like that by getting Alabama to jump. There was no real difference between being at the 2 vs. being at the 1, so there's no real benefit to Auburn if they got Alabama to jump.
Maybe you make the kicking angle a little less severe, but that's about it.

 

This might be the hardest hit Arizona's defense has had all day.

 

Woody Hayes would have lended a hand ... across someone.

 

Snow game at Mizzou. They shoveled most of it off the field but still a base coat of flakes. But they cleared the hash marks ... and the on-field sponsor logos.

 

Will Howard is his qb.
I would say he turned a Ford F-150 into a Ford Ranger.

 

Is there a rule that TV directors have to show a broken leg or ankle in slow motion from multiple angles? Good God, I'm trying to eat dinner.

"Look! Here's where the tibia snapped! You can see it here and here and here! Run that back!"

 

I wasn’t watching this particular game where it happened today, but nowadays networks do often show some restraint. A few weeks ago during Vikings/Titans broadcast, when they came back after the injury led to a TV timeout before people knew for sure what happened, they said they wouldn’t show Jack Gibbens’s broken leg.

 

For a guy who is supposed to be a captain, a team leader, a five-year guy and all that stuff, Alabama's Malachi Moore sure seems to do a lot of stupid stuff that draws unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

 

Seems more prevalent that they show more restraint in the NFL, I believe.

Remember some times when there's an injury so they take it to commercial, then they come back with a wide stadium shot and immediately send it to another commercial break.
