don't forget they *spiked* the ball on 2nd down, so he realized they had no timeouts
so WTF would you run *again* on third down when you cannot stop the clock? if you want to run twice with no timeouts you do it on 1st and 2nd down, then spike it on 3rd down so the field goal team can get on
kick was good with no time left, so maybe he just has a bigger brain than me...

I can see running on first or second to get some yards, kill some more time, and maybe catch Baylor sleeping and maybe you spring a big run.
Like you said, after clocking it on on 2nd down you have to pass the ball there.
It’s crazy that Dykes, an air raid guy who is criticized for throwing too much decided to run it on 1st and 3rd and not even pass the ball once on that final set of downs.

Even winning the game on that final drive doesn’t excuse his terrible performance today.
Nebraska is in a deep and dark place as a program right now. Now Nebraska has both ucla and USC rotating on their schedule in the next few years so it is about to get even harder for them.

to have an absolute cyborg of a kicker. no emotion, no variance, no failure.
it was the only wonderful feeling of the day, but that it was. everytime GT was humming under PJ we had one too, and ill swear until i die that the Lions never would have made the playoffs my whole life without Jason Hanson.

I’ve only watched the 2nd half, but damn, this is fun to watch. Completely different Maryland team this week at home. The 4 pt swing on OSU’s last TD was ridiculous.

Fuck Elon “space Karen” Musk, fuck Elizabeth Holmes, fuck Condoleezza Rice, certainly fuck Herbert Hoover, fuck Mitt Romney, fuck Jim Harbaugh, fuck David Shaw, and fuck you to if you went to Stanford university.
Fuck Stanford from today to infinity. In a shit stain of a season we still wiped our asses with your shitty uniforms, with your shitty program and even shittier school.

Tennessee's secondary has been one of the worst in the nation and it finally killed them against an average team.
I don't understand what DC Tim Banks and Martinez (CBs) are even coaching back there. the players are limited but they are getting worse as the season goes on. for example: 3rd and 8, both corners are in off-man even with the first down marker, at the snap they go straight into their backpedal, and South Carolina converts an 8-yard hitch that Rattler could've thrown underhand. how are they going to stop the third down there, based on that alignment and technique?
it was nice not to see Kamal Hadden for a month. having him back as a starting corner, giving up yards on every single target and talking shit *after* giving up said yards was an experience I was enjoying not seeing. my current most disliked player on Tennessee.
tough to see Hooker go down like that, though. Vol legend no matter what.
but Deion aint getting the leeway and freedom he could get at GT anywhere else for his first FBS job
the Atlanta hero coming home will play with donors and fans in a very big way, and in turn our recent ineptitude is likely to give him a very accommodating and hands-off work environment to do what he does

And they have seven wins. SEVEN.
Like, Elko has exceeded my wiiiiiiildest expectations. This was a school expected to easily finish last in the Coastal... currently tied for second in the Coastal. A pretty unreal season.
