So here's my thing... I think (at least in major P4 staffs) we need dedicated OC and DC. Just like in the NFL. They should not also be coaching a position group. I think our safety play this year has suffered because now Collins is also the DC and can't focus his full attention on safeties...

Still would be better than a touchback. Just an awful, awful rule.

We're winning the games. Something has to be going well. If you're going to define well as beating every average Big Ten team by 30+, then no we are not playing well.

OK, think we're on the same page. I'm just saying ... we beat Rutgers, Purdue, Nebraska, and Mich State. We would've beaten them on the road, too. NW is the same quality as those teams. So ... we should beat them too, based on season results. Although they did just scare the piss out of...

I would gladly take this as a massive step in the right direction

The. moment. you try to cheat it .. you fumble on purpose ... the football gods will s__ all over you and it won't work. The ball won't actually go out of the endzone. The other team will recover it, then it really will be a touchback. You make a good point, though. I will update my proposed...

Well, also the 22.7ppg number includes 66 points against Northwestern State. If we just look at the 8 games so far against P4 teams, it's down to 17.25 ppg. What is an acceptable number?

We are playing well though, when we aren't playing great teams. I agree and admit that Iowa doesn't quite fall into that category .. that was the worst one, of the four losses, in a sense.

If you want to be literal then probably most have never made a "perfect" decision.

I'll allow it :cool: But it seems you get it? NW and Wisconsin are not nearly on the same level as Oregon. Right?? Am I crazy?

Washington lost to Wisconsin. Any credibility Wash had this year went flying out the window.

At the very least, these numbers should be compared against the average ppg allowed of the defenses we played in each year. That's a lot of work to do and I don't expect you to do it. I'm just saying that would make the comparison a lot more valid and fair.

Sounds like you agree at the very least that IU Cignetti has a shelf life on excellence. Glad we agree on that.

The discussion moot, for me. I would abolish the rule entirely. I'd make the rule be that any fumble into and then out of the endzone automatically gives the fumbling team the ball back at the spot of the fumble. I won't change my mind. There is no valid argument to be had to support the rule...

Then CBS and NBC were crazy to sign on and pay what they paid. That could well collapse if the ratings don't pull through. Without ratings, the $$$ won't make sense and it won't be there. So either FOX has to cough up the whole encilada, or else something is going to have to be figured out...

Not sure if you were implying that I'm one of those people, but for the record I am not. Cignetti does not walk on water. And I don't think it would take 40 years to get back to this level if Fleck left.

1. it's the correct analogy for what college football is. 2. I didn't say you had to like it. It's just the fact of what it is ... it's not a level playing field.

??? Factual evidence is not something that can be debated. They're the best, or at the very least one of the best, ownerships in the league. Do they make perfect decisions all the time? Of course not. No one does

NBC has reportedly expressed frustration with its Big Ten contract, which it still hasn’t officially signed, after discovering restrictions it claims weren’t fully disclosed. Those restrictions include Ohio State and Michigan both being able to veto night games after the first week of November...
