South Florida Quarterback Is The Real Deal

Last year, College Game Day had an anniversary of some sort, and they interviewed the cast.  Corso said his worst prediction was the Fresno state game.  He said that now whenever they're at a game in which Auburn plays, some Auburn fan is always there with a sign saying '62-0'.  Gotta love it!

I like Corso.  Without him, that show goes nowhere.

.....I remember Corso's words. Idiot! I think we ran the shotgun nearly every play, and Craig torched 'em. The only negative was that Jarrett Holmes missed the last PAT. That foreshadowed several later melt-downs in the kicking game, most notably the LSU "barnburner" game. Holmes missed 3 field-goals, and a potential game-tying PAT in that one. Then there was the miss of a 3rd-quarter chip-shot FG against UGA, that led to a 4-OT marathon.

.....That was an amazing video, and Grothe DID remind me of Dameyune Craig. But, you have to remember who they were playing. I LOVED "the Wannstache" back when he was running the Cowboy defense during the Jimmy Johnson super-bowl teams. I thought that he was a serious mastermind, on the level of a Bill Oliver-type. Subsequent coaching stops have debunked that foolish notion. Pittsburg is a pretty bad team, these days!

I don't normally make too many coaching criticisms, but when Tubbs ran the clock out with 2nd and 10 from our own 38, 37 seconds left, and 2 timeouts remaining, we lost the game right there.  You are telling your offense that you don't trust them to not screw it up, and more importantly, you are building exactly ZERO momentum going into overtime.  Even if we had failed to gain 30 yeards in two plays to attempt a field goal, the offense might have gotten some confidence--something they desperately needed in the second half.

My hat's off to the defense, who played one hell of a game.  Normally, when we give up 5 turnovers, it's a blow-out.  They kept us in it until the bitter end.  Rarely when we shoot ourself in the foot is the defense the one holding the pistol.

ESPN sucked yesterday.  They're trying to squeeze too many games into few little time slots.  People who started watching the two mid-afternoon games missed a large chunk of the first quarter because the previous game ran late, same with the two evening games.  Why?  Because they only allotted three hours per game.  That's stupid, because even with the clock rule changes from last year, games still have a real good chance of running three and a half hours or longer.  We at home literally missed half of the first quarter of last night's game.  ESPN is supposed to delay the kickoff of the game if the previous one is running late, but you can't delay it forever.  Get it together, world-wide leader in sports!
