Butch Jones already up to his same tricks; he keeps running the read option with his slow-ass pocket passing QB. who just fumbled.

putting your players in a position to fail. literally the definition of bad coaching.

hes intent on turning that into a bad loss for us

UMass goes from 2nd and 10 from the 11 to 1st and goal from the 5 -- next play is a touchdown, of course. 7-6 Tennessee right before half-time.

BTW UMass is 0-4 and has lost to Coastal Carolina.

Feed Akers and get stops

They will win zero shootouts

NC State had them on the ropes last year too, but a Wolfpack DB dropped a pick and Francois led them to the game-winning TD

year *five* of the Butch Jones era

UMass is 89th in total defense.

And when I say another, I mean Arkansas w a early lead and losing and it in the fourth quarter.

also unfortunately sort of both team's high point of the season most years too

James Washington makes it look so easy. Just torched double coverage for 87 yards on a perfect throw. Kenny Hill and TCU are moving the ball well

they shot their wad against the early season cupcakes

throws a lot of interceptions?

everyone too busy throwing a parade for the guy I'm not sure they've noticed

Oh well, maybe next year we will end this losing streak.

see: Luck, Favre, Eli

of the ones I've seen, most are him refusing to just eat a sack and forcing the ball downfield. usually when his mechanics and footwork go to shit. he also makes some spectacular plays doing that so he keeps going for it.

but in the NFL he won't have as forgiving defenses. so he will have to adjust.

cool

not usually great when you have a higher yards-per-play average running than throwing. BC only has 200 total yards but turnovers have kept them in it.

should be a great Dabo press conference afterward, either way.

We are going to wear them each year at home when we host the LA schools.

45-0
2 first downs
52 yards of total offense

you can't be a ball-control, win with defense team and beat bama. because they do that better than you do. lining up in a pro-set with a mediocre QB is giving Saban the white flag.

The first two drives summed up the 2017 season for the Mizzou Tigers.

Two decent plays get Mizzou to 3rd & 1. A false start knocks them back to 3rd & 6. A dive stops at the line of scrimmage.

After a punt, Stidham thows a 58 yard bomb and scores two plays later when the RB runs untouched in the endzone.

More missed tackles. Missed assignments. Dropped passes. #BringBackPinkel

It's a nice gesture but I also don't get why everyone in the media is fawning over this new tradition.

Folks who answer that I have no soul, could in fact be correct tho.

Kids! Especially kids with cancer!

This is part of a 'participation trophy' agenda where kids are given respect for not EARNING A WIN over their disease.

LOL

It is nice and I do like public gestures of compassion. But then again I don't like the stories about kids with illnesses and Make-a-wish type evens for some reason.

Every time I watch him I see Brian Westbrook

i see a little Clarett in him

Barkley has Clarrett beat by a considerable margin in everything else you want to judge a college or future NFL RB by.

Clarrett had 1 brilliant season and then let his own ignorance derail his career. Barkley is coming off 2 great seasons and still putting up crazy #s with a huge target on his back every game.

Barkley is a 1,000 times the receiver Clarrett was.
Barkley is a better blocker than Clarrett was.
Barkley is much more versatile than Clarrett was (can return kicks)
Barkley is much more agile and has better open moves than Clarrett
Barkley is much stronger than Clarrett ever was (can rep 225 30+ times and maxes at 450, can squat 650 and clean over 400lbs)
Barkley is much FASTER than Clarrett ever was (Clarrett ran a 4.8 at the combine whereas Barkley is in the 4.45-4.5 range)
And most importantly, Barkley seemingly has none of the fatal character flaws Clarrett had. Barkley is revered for his humility and leadership and has a strong family support. I'm glad Clarrett finally got help and admitted to his struggles, but it took him too long to mature.

This is what Kirk Ferentz had to say about Barkley last night:

"The running back's a special player," said a weary Kirk Ferentz, Iowa's head coach and the longest-tenured head coach in the college game.

"He's a tough guy to tackle. I don't know if I've seen any better in my 19 years here."

Barring a major injury, Barkley is a lock to be a top 10 pick in the NFL Draft. Clarrett may have been a high pick had he came out as a FRESH, but I highly doubt he would have progressed and became the complete back Barkley has become.

And was strictly comparing his running style - not their character, bench press numbers or favorite foods. Very low to the ground and powerful with outstanding vision and way faster than you would think.

But thanks for all that effort you spent putting me in my place! Yikes

Just highlighting all the ways in which Barkley is different from Clarrett.

Has this place changed so much where that is considered weird or offensive?

but it was a weird tangent.

since again...it was a compliment.

Clarrett. He back in jail or nah?

because y'all are deranged and take your hero worship to a weird level...as proven during and after the joepa era. do you even remember that whole thing happened? the lack of humility and weirdo moral judgment is apparently still alive and well.

i get it, y'all haven't had anything to cheer up about in damn near 15 years but maybe wait to unleash the angry mob shit on someone who actually *criticizes* what i guess is now the greatest running back the world has ever seen. i mean, check out his squat numbers and teacher recommendations and the way dogs wags wag their tail when barkley walks into the room!

was prob the last thing i would've expected, lol.

pretty easy to see why this board has lost pretty much of all it's traffic. SAD!

you clearly ruffled mignight and shellys feathers with that compliment.

lol @ getting this riled up over a damn saquan barkley.

maurice clarett had more impact in one season (positive and negative) than this dude has in 3 years.

woopty damn do

Andy Reid grossly underused Westbrook - I think Westbrook could have been a borderline to HOFer had he been used properly and maintained better health.

Personally, I think a more apt comparison would be a stronger version of Curtis Martin. Another multi-purpose back with great strength, speed, agility, and vision. Obviously Barkley's a far more polished and accomplished college RB, but their running style is similar.

really fast.

that sideline dance/start n stop/shake n bake/stutter step or whatever it was just insane.

and catch. Tip of the cap to Barkley on a phenomenal performance. 200+ rushing & nearly 100 yds receiving. And most of those yards came after contact or via his own brilliant moves.

We won again.. carry on..
