K State….in a common theme across college football…conference road game.
 
Kansas st with 11 yards passing. 122 yards total, 74 coming from one play. On the other hand Ok State had 287 yards of offense.

Kansas State as pointed out in Missouri game, not very good.
 
Huge game for Keene Saturday night at Wyoming. NY6 implications to leave the AAC out possibly if Fresno State keeps winning.

Wyoming beat Texas Tech at Home.
 
K State is down by 11 with at least 12:30 left in the 4th quarter. It is 4th and 3 somewhere around your own 30. What do you do?

You punt you moron!

Instead, they turn the ball over and basically give Ok State three more points…but it could have been 7. Why do coaches get paid millions of dollars to make that bad of a decision?
 
Wow, Okie State has been terrible this year. This one is surprising
I think the announcers said they played all three QBs in each of their first 3 games because none of them seemed like QB1. Seems like a really bad plan. Then settled on the current guy last week @Iowa State. They laid an egg in that conference road game last week. They may still choke tonight.

Why the f-ck would you go for two when the score is 29-21? You kick the extra point to be down by 7. Btw, you just gave them three free points by your decision on the last drive.

Ok State is playing to lose. They still might escape because of the stupidity of the K State coach. Then you go for it on 4th down, don’t convert and give K State a short 60 yard field instead of punting…wow.

I was thinking earlier today how many, if not most, college teams may just not have the ability to run out the clock without playing to lose.

It takes a completely different offense to run out the clock than it does to throw downfield and score quickly. I remember commentary to this effect during the Peach Bowl. "They don't know how to go slow". Really it was more like we didn't have the personnel or playbook to pound the rock. We kept our foot on the gas in every game that year.

NFL teams have time to work on that kind of stuff. College teams are much more limited.

It that's true then keep doing what was winning the game for you earlier. Wouldn't it be better to match scores when you're ahead than change your plan.

Because the ultimate goal is winning and not forcing overtime, the math says to go for 2 after scoring a TD when down 8.


In NFL, in the scenario where a team scores the last 2 TDs after being down 14, going for 2 after the first touchdown rather than kicking an XP increases the win probability from about 45.5% to 59%.

If you fans want to see how a blackout game should be done…watch Miami vs GT tomorrow night at 8 PM.

DG moving the chains w his legs

He hated running at UCF
Yes, I don't get it?

My wife said it must be like changing jobs and finding out that everybody is doing the same thing at the new job you didn't like. Therefore, you suck it up and do what the boss wants.

In DG case that is you run the ball because every team is requiring you to do that. I hope he enjoys this year. Don't think we will see him in the NFL.
 
BC scores late to best Army. BC goes straight-up military academy with 61 rushing attempts (Tommy C has 31 Carrie’sfor 142 yards and 4 TDs). He goes 4/9 for 73 yards with 1 Int.

Monsoon conditions in the first half likely adjusted playcall.
 
Texas was so dumb to rush 3 early that drive

The most clutch drive of DG’s life and now a National Title Contender. Gus man
