I think both have absurd contracts, with all the new player compensation it becomes way harder to buy out these stupid $100 million deals both survive, both teams should be much improved this year
False I don’t think there’s any way DeBoer is getting fired barring a 4-9 season or some sort of major scandal. I remain far from convinced that he’s the guy, but getting Grubb back and presumably having a QB capable of running his system should at least provide more cohesion offensively and the defense should be very good to elite. Auburn’s schedule is much more manageable than it’s been in recent years. I think 7-5/8-4 will be viewed as a favorable improvement and he’ll continue to recruit and portal well enough to prevent Auburn from lighting buyout money on fire.
poor guy must have got the news yesterday that a bama ol recruit lock thats named after bear bryant is heading to michigan instead
Need clarification on the first, ball can get spotted within 5 seconds, not enough time for an injured player to get off the field.
Assuming is bad, but I would think that this rule only pertains to players who show zero sign of struggling and then after the ball is spotted go down. Players limping around right away wouldn't count.
Would like to see the number of occurrences of this happening. Anecdotally it seems like it’s far for often a player gets up limping and trying to figure out if they can go, and by the time they feel it’s a no go it’s too late to get to the sidelines so dropping to the ground is the best option.
This happens every Saturday. They aren’t trying to stop the guys from limping around actually hurt. They are trying to stop the ridiculous act of just falling over when an offense is running hurry up and cooking your defense. It is painfully obvious when it happens what’s going on.
It has never made sense for the player to try and limp off when actually hurt. Just go down and get helped off the field. Only thing you can do is cause a delay of game if on offense or leave your team scrambling if on defense.
I watch *a lot* of college football and feel like this is a rare occurrence. Usually it’s suggested by emotional opposing fans half the time they see an injury to an opposing defensive player. Like the corner that plays damn near every snap isn’t going to take himself out of a big situation by faking an injury so a DL can catch his breath. He doesn’t want his backup in there in that situation. “Oh look he’s back in there next series (10 mins later), clearly he was faking!” “Well yeah, he had cramps and now is good to go”
It was such a non existent factor the coaches pretty much forced a rule change and unanimously agreed they needed a fix for it. This happens every Saturday.
I notice it when we play SEC teams Also seems like something Oregon would do but there were other loopholes they took advantage of against us and thankfully we cleaned that one up on our own.
I think you have a bug in the ACCCG. It says Clemson over SMU but then it has SMU getting the first round bye. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
We had a pre spring lifting media session yesterday and I regret to inform the rest of cfb all our guys are in the best shape of their lives and bigger, stronger, and faster.
Our schedule was extremely manageable last year and we completely fucked it up. Probably our easiest schedule in decades. If Hugh goes 5-7 I could see him being fired. Might be a chance he's saved. If he wins less than 8 games his seat will be extremely hot. He's gotta pray his chaotic offense works with Arnold
I thought Auburn was going to be the only watchable game on Friday of week 1. Would've given us the full spotlight to be embarrassed or maybe show we're not awful. Don't like us having to share the spotlight
Friday games are great. Helps fill that void left by Thursday night CFB from the 00/10's. Usually a decent game you'd otherwise probably not watch a ton of if it were on Saturday's schedule
feel like they put WVU's bye in the wrong spot; WVU has a bye AFTER traveling to BYU on a short week (they play Utah in Morgantown the Saturday prior to going to Provo) to me, that bye would have been far more beneficial prior to the short week/cross country trip
It's weird seeing Feldman's list of top 25 coaches and seeing how few of them have won anything. The top 3 almost has to be some version of Kirby, Day and Dabo because they're the only ones with titles. One of them had to hire full time security to protect his house/family from his own fan base three months ago. The other has watched his program fall back for 4 years and seems out of his depth in the portal/NIL era.
