About to be stopped for a small loss?  Obviously, the solution is to run 30 yards backwards then get tackled.

Weaselly call in the Sugar Bowl on that VT touchdown in OT. They couldn't figure out if he landed in bounds or not so decided he bobbled it.  :lol:

Well, Rich Rod got the DC he wanted - Casteel is leaving West Virginia for Arizona.

They deserved what they got, after going for that fake punt.  Even when Michigan kept their regular defense in, knowing it was going to be a fake.  4th and 1 is a bitch from 15 yards away.  Beamer Hubris was their undoing.

Fuck 'em.  Good job, Blue.

That should prove interesting.  The 3-3-5 in the Pac 12 has a chance of working.

Maybe the Big 10 should get a tie in to the Sugar Bowl, they seem to be doing well there.

Okay.  The Orange Bowl has been really fun to watch so far.

Well now it's becoming a blowout.  Clemson needs to get their shit together.

I'm mildly disappointed WVU didn't go for two at the end there, just to make it a nice, even 50 in the half.

I remember Notre Dame using it pretty effectively against everyone when they won the NC in '88.

But realistically Casteel is a joke, I couldn't believe Rodriguez wanted to bring him to Michigan, WVU never had a very good defense under Rodriguez. I also think their good defensive rankings the two years prior to the present were a function of West Virginia's Big East schedule being even easier than normal.

Not saying Casteel is god awful or just surprised Rodriguez, who has never had a good defense as a HC, didn't look for a more traditional DC with a decent track record. I mean I know it's Arizona but I have to think he could have found someone.

Was that just recently made official?  I remember my brother telling me about it several weeks ago. 

Anyway, I agree with Otto & frankly won't miss Casteel too much.  He produced some great defensive players, but not so great defenses.

I think the ACC sending two teams to BCS bowls is made especially egregious by this.

I wonder if Holgorsen will slow the offense down or keep scoring? Not sure what the etiquette is in a bowl game.
