NCAA Football 2023 Season Megathread
Figured I would get this thing started since a mod still hasn’t changed the title of the 2022 thread. Let’s just start o
Does Bama go into next year with Milroe as the QB1 or you think they go portaling? He finished the game with 116 passing yards.
Take a bow CFP committee
From 2014 where you put Ohio State in over Baylor/TCU to 2024, you achieved perfection
Needle was that a FB belly play or something else, for that TD
SRM/Needle, I can see saying it was a bad call because Bama guards and center have had trouble all year with anything like a reach block or anything with athletic slanting linemen. Basically, mobility issues. So maybe try to make a call where it's less likely you'll be asking your IOL to do that
Needle will have a (considerably) more educated opinion on this than I will but i didn’t think calling the run was a bad move, to your point the DL had been mauling the interior all day and you have him empty backfield in the shotgun when you’re fooling absolutely nobody with what’s coming trying to run right up the middle
I’m more disappointed the playcall was so generic more than anything else and that it didn’t really leave for any alternative other than run up the middle good luck everyone
da fk dude
Lol another muffed punt. Those darn special teams!
muffing punts is such an absolute catastrophe

elite special teams looooooooooooooooooool
not to mention like -70 sack yards
they basically had like 50 net passing yards
totally one dimensional
Failed experiment. Saban called it an experiment all along realizing how very far he had to come to master QB position. He'll go another direction. Just bogus in my view that such a flawed team took the threepeat bid out. Committee got it right. It's just that for all the talk about "the best 4 teams" that isn't really the standard. It's a good playoff.

Fair enough, and I guess we are not really that far apart. Not to put too fine a point on it, though, but the blocking concept actually sorta *was* to fool the D lineman who wound up blowing the play. Not exactly a trap or a wham, but along those lines of what you could define as fooling rather than being straightforward. It just didn't work, but it was less straightforward than it could look to people
The point of the playcall was to muscle up and be straightforward with all the blockers except the one guard who got blown up. So it was actually the one less straightforward part of the play that got blown up. All thr head to head straight on parts worked
You have to be an absolute sicko to want to be a punt returner.
like forget blocking punts and returning punts for TDs and whatever
If you could figure out how to never muff a punt and never rough the kicker, you would be so elite in the punt game
Those are such backbreaking turnovers
Announcers barely differentiate them from throwing a pick 35 yards downfield on 3rd and 14 but it's night and day
Muff is brutal injustice after your PAC defense gets a stop.
Especially if you know you're better on offense and defense, why even try to field/block punts? If Michigan just doesn't touch a single.punted ball today, they win by double digits.
You can't not field punts though in most cases. It's actually a pretty awful high risk / low reward thing you're forced into.
