Well that's what I thought I said, haha.
It IS what you said, but you were starting to count halves and the time in the half of the ejection and whatever. When in the half the ejection happened doesn’t matter. They’re out for whatever the next half will be.
As a broad view, I'd say that the Cyclones are a team over the years that when I've watched them play I've always hoped they'd hold off and upset one of the ranked teams they were playing. Some times it happened, other times not. I've been aware of your CMC in part because of things involving our CMC. I'd like to believe that our guy would only leave to replace Saban and that he's not an NFL guy. I'd hope that your CMC is someone who'd only leave for the NFL like Chip Kelly did as we feel we've earned our place with where our program is and don't mind seeing other schools do it too. (Utah with Kyle Wittingham is a good example of that)
NFL players for us hit a dry spot but I would Look up Allen Lazard and David Montgomery.
We shred low-tier QBs defensively. General game flow for us centers around a quarter or so to figure some specifics out, followed by opponent offensive output steadily decreasing to near-zero late-game. Our few losses all trended with poor special teams play and/or sub-par offense, but almost never poor defense losing the game for us.
Is beaver/cougar combo possible? I feel like cougars really know what to do with beavers
Its why I'm ready for the "possibility" of what Anthony Brown could provide us because when you watch this game and the play-calling from our OC, there are going to be plays that you will clench up when you see how wide-open someone was and it will come down to how often our QB can hit that throw.
90% of the time, when other teams fans bring up Nike/Phil Knight, it's to claim that we pay players to come to the school. Hence why some of us get testy about it.
I don’t think Oregon pays players. That money directly goes into convincing players to come to the school with dollars, but I don’t think it goes in their pockets, and it’s well within the rules. We can have a discussion of if the rules need to change, but as they stand currently, it is what it is.
What punishes us the most due to scheme is mobile and accurate QBs. If your QBs are statues, we'll eat. If they are mobile but can't throw on the run or see the open man when it's there, you'll have a hard time maintaining drives. We have a tendency to break down pockets fairly often, but when QBs can get out, spot the opening and hit it accurately, those are the guys we struggle with. If they don't move well enough or can't deliver a good ball in those scenarios, we sit pretty -- given enough time, someone will be open momentarily, but we generally do a good job shifting the defense towards the QB -- which tends to close openings with indecisive throwers as they run out of field to go to.
Calm down man yikes. Oregon and WVU are NOT comparable in the last decade to overall success. I think the original comparison was strictly this year's Oregon team v. WVU. We have no idea about Oregon because they just haven't played enough. I think that Oregon is better than WVU this year because of the athletes they have. They are just young and I expect a heck a game. Beating Oregon is absolutely a big deal for our program because we don't have much for bowl game wins, especially against quality programs.
I'm in the area of a low-scoring game favors us, a high-scoring game favors yall and that's about where Shough's play to date would lead me to believe is the most-likely scenario.
That and the Las Vegas bowl "grellow" helmets were terrible ideas. Wasn't a big fan of the diamond plate look mid 2000s except for the Holiday Bowl version with Green Helmets, White Jerseys and Black Pants.
