I don't find it anywhere close to as funny as that fat punter gliding like a supertanker toward the punt returner.

So what is going to happen if Winston gets charged after the ACC Championship game? I have to think FSU and Ohio State will be close in the computers (even if FSU is 1 now and Ohio State 3). FSU has two mediocre to poor opponents left, while Alabama and Ohio State have better challenges. Could the human voters drop a Winston-less FSU behind Ohio State if Ohio State dominates the next two?

If I am a Gator fan I am not laughing at that.

Think of it as an opportunity for Texas. When Muschamp left, you probably thought you lost him for good as Brown's successor. I bet you could get him now, though.

Can someone give me an Idiot's Guide to the run and shoot?

Buddy Ryan used to call it the "Chuck and Duck".  Pretty much summed it up.

Now with the rules about hitting the quarterback, and also the rules against blowing up receivers in the middle of the field, a lot of teams are running modified run and shoot offenses. The run and shoot was four wide and 1 running back. Now most teams are using 1 RB, and the TE position has morphed into more of a big receiver rather than the more traditional TE.

That 2nd half of Georgia at Auburn.  Wow.  Just wow.

That made me a little sick to my stomach.  Could this season be any more nightmarish for Georgia?

And you posted this before Murray tore his ACL.

Eddie Briles, Art's older brother, died today.  Head injuries after a fall yesterday.

Yeah, also known as the Ace that the Redskins and Bills started using in the mid and late 80's, and so on.  Just variations of the Coryell theme.

Austin, Texas is a bizarre alternative universe where Will Muschamp, Greg Robinson, and Gene Chizik are geniuses and heroes.

FSU could still squeak by if properly aged.

Didn't the usually line up the TE on the line though?

But agree--the clear trend has been to transform the TE position into something of a big wide receiver. No one raves about Jimmy Graham or Gronkowski because the blocking they provide in support of the running game.

Jeffcoat went crazy in the second Q.  Three sacks out of six total for the Horns.  20-10 Texas at the half.

Gronk is actually a really good blocker.
