To clarify my original post, those percentages were obviously meant to illustrate the four main "qualities" that determine an athletes success AGAINST other athletes at the college level. No D1 Power 5 football players are less than elite level athletes when compared to the normal population...

LOL!! yes. Guaranteed National Champs!

Football is 25% god given athletic talent (measurable), 25% worth ethic, 25% competitiveness/drive and 25% luck (avoiding injuries). Only one of these is easily measured. The recruiting sites (247 is my favorite to peruse) can give you a broad based look at an overall class to gain a basic...

Even Don Cherry is envious.

The point being is that the play call was completely unnecessary at that point. The O-line was playing their best game since Colorado. They had a very nice mix of pass and run and were gaining positive yards on EVERY play. That call (along with the poor decision to try a 50 yard FG) changed...

Not a Scott Frost fan at all and do enjoy seeing him take close L's. He should also keep his mouth shut regarding how another coach leads his kids. I have plenty of criticism's of Fleck but there is no doubt that his kids do seem to really like playing for him. He has also done a good job...

To completely blame Morgan's issues on Morgan is wrong. We saw what can happen in the first half when the OC actually has a balanced, not so predictable game plan. Also, the O-line really played well which cannot be said for some of the earlier games. Not saying that Morgan is not...

Game ball to the Defensive line for two huge fourth down stops including the beauty on the goal line. The D absolutely saved this game. Not perfect but damn good enough. Assist to Crawford for snagging a ridiculously poor snap and then getting off a punt inside the 20. He has been solid...

I guess you missed this part " Still though, the rankings do give a general sense of how the overall class is doing in comparison to the other schools. This does look to be a weak recruiting year."

I too enjoy 247's recruiting page. But remember: Antoine Winfield was rated .8285 Mo Ibrahim .8395 Boye Mafe .8247 There recruiting services, like the rest of us, have no idea how these kids will respond to power 5 coaching. Particularly the kids coming from smaller HS and not the Mater...

6 punts, 51.3 yard average with 4 inside the 20 including one of those on the 1. Crisp holding of the kicks all day including the final one in monsoon conditions. Serious candidate for game ball.

Yes was going to mention him as well. Nice catch

He was bombing the ball today in aweful conditions! Great post!

Not a fan of Fleck's game day coaching but give him and his staff credit for adding Pinkney, Gibbons, Wright and Trickett via the transfer portal! Three of those guys were big reasons for the W today and we know Wright has already and will contribute in other games.

Excellent post. Look at those scores and compare them against what other power 5 teams do against these type of teams. Way too many nail-biters in what should be "stat padding" games.

That is an absolutely brutal statistic and indicative of Fleck's inability to coach on game day.

With injuries being such a huge part of football, I find it hard to believe that they would be foolish enough to wrap the entire game plan around ONE player? I like CAB but it's not like he is a Heisman candidate? What an odd excuse. Especially considering the competition. You also had...

No! Because the O-line was playing infinitly better in that game. You have to judge on the current situation and the O-line was invisible on Saturday. Our defense was absolutely dominating the game as well at that point. Punt it away and start over on the next series.

That fourth down call was especially brutal factoring how poorly the O-line had been playing. I was screaming at my TV.

One intersting aspect of the game was how easy it was for a 6'8", 400 pounder to dissapear so easily on the field.
