Hardcore rooting for BG tonight to beat OU and knock them out of bowl contention. Them coming into next week with no motivation/potentially mixing younger players in is our only chance at a W.

I think thats another credit to him (and Ali for that matter). True freshman need to know their roles (Virshon Cotton, anyone?)...especially at the beginning of their career. He's been cool and under control all year. Once all of the back ups were in, he took the initiative to create and show us what we can do. I'm looking forward to see what he does as his leash gets longer as the year goes on.

Tribble is going to be a good one. So well composed for being a true freshman. If he doesn't overtake LCJ at some point this season, its happen next year.

Whew. This staff really better pull something out of their ass to make this class respectable and put an acceptable product on the field next season.

The deal doesn't expire until 2026-2027. My guess - we come out better with the deal as opposed to untelevised on the weekends. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/11372218/mid-american-conference-espn-agree-new-13-year-media-rights-deal

Do you have a source for this? Did some digging this morning and I can't find mention of this anywhere. Relevant article on Kansas and the limit: https://www.si.com/college-football/2019/05/06/jeff-long-big-12-ncaa-recruiting-rules-scholarship-limit And another re: the transfer portal: https://www.si.com/college-football/2019/02/18/transfer-portal-scholarship-limits-initial-counter-rule

I have see that right now.

Let's clear this up - Mr. Ward means Brandon Junk #45. To answer his question, yes, I believe he is hurt.

Ohio's bowl eligibility??

Can't speak for this year, but I am certain OHSAA playoff games have been played there in the past. Here is something quick from 2017. https://www.ohsaa.org/news-media/articles/ohsaa-releases-football-state-semifinal-pairings-2

The RPO makes it difficult for lineman to get downfield, because well, you never know if the play is truly going to end up being a run or pass, as the QB has the option to hand it off or pass..hence "Run-Pass Option (RPO)". If he passes and the lineman get to the 2nd level and block the LBs, that is illegal man downfield. Am I missing something with the other responses? Strategy seems pretty clear cut to me. Outside of Akron games, it does get called, though seems refs miss it plenty as well.

These CBs really need to learn to tackle between now and next season. I feel bad for Alvin...playing his ass off and not getting any help.

good hit Alvin!! Would've swore I saw him fall on it too..something else not going our way.
