Okay, you tell me if this is a red flag or not:
Clawfense’s first game in Bowling Green: 31-14 win over Troy…
QB Tyler Sheehan: 32 of 44, 339 yards, 2 TD 1 INT
BGSU ran for only 50 yards
Will - Rocky Top Talk
also had an INT ret. for TD
so only 24 points for the offense

Clawson
Isn’t a bad coach, I don’t think. With the right players he can work. He did good @ Richmond.
Well, I don’t know if he understands how it works vs the Big Boyz.

He's back where he belongs
Out of a BCS conference. Those stats are about as meaningful as BJ Coleman’s.
Oh, wow.
Here’s a story on that. A week or two ago, the Sports Animal had a sports reporter on who covers Bowling Green and Toledo football. He said that Clawson does not flip the offensive line.
Repeat: No line flipping.
Evidently, that was an experiment he ran with UT.
…
You can see why I didn’t run with it when I couldn’t get a recording of the interview.

Yep
the rushing yardage makes sense. The QB stat line just makes me worry about Crompton more than anything else…but they were playing Troy and we’re playing WKU, so I’ll get my answers then

BGSU had their starting qb return from the previous year. That was supposed to make a pretty big difference for some reason.

One nice thing about having a reputation for trick plays.
The defense is a lot more cautious, even when you’re running straight at them.
by David Hooper on Sep 3, 2009 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Boise State just needs to join the MWC.
It’s kinda like having Arkansas join the Sun Belt. Those 10-year stats are just insane.
Oregon must win
Or my bank account will take a slight hit. I mean…if gambling were legal, that is.

Was Peterson a candidate?
Or did he turn down our interests
Best info I've seen on this
Is in Clay Travis’s book, and in this excerpt:
" I have pieced together a list that I believe to be accurate. I believe Hamilton met in person with Troy Calhoun of Air Force, Turner Gill of Buffalo, Brian Kelly of Cincinnati, Gary Patterson of TCU, and conducted an interview over the phone with Mike Leach from Texas Tech. Hamilton was also scheduled to meet with Will Muschamp of Texas, but Muschamp signed a coach-in-waiting deal four days before his face-to-face interview with Hamilton. Per sources, Troy Calhoun of Air Force was the number two choice. "

Could you imagine
the option/spread in Knoxville if the Air Force coach got the nod? We’d be hurting for sure at QB
Mistakes aside,
this has been a long, impressive first drive to open the season. I think they’ve taken about 6-7 minutes off the clock.
I hope that's what Kiffin brings this year.
It’s not flashy, but I love long drives.
Agreed.
I don’t know why but I think we will be a shade better than what most think.
To Strive, To Seek, To Find, and Not to Yield.
I think we had the talent last year
to make things happen, but it was certainly wasted. I’m not expecting miracles, but I pray we beat Georgia. I hate it down here when they beat UTK
Honestly....
I think we beat them this year. If I have to call it now….then yes….I call it.
To Strive, To Seek, To Find, and Not to Yield.
Indeed
It could’ve easily gotten them 7, but it did set the tone. The remaining question is whether or not these mistakes will wreck the tone. 0 points after the 2 yard line is impressively bad. USC anyone?

But now Petersen can go to his quarterback and tell him to relax.
Because he’ll be fine on the year.

Drop the "E", add "IVE"
and that’s about all the promise we’ve seen so far.
There was a good point in that sideline interview.
Is there any other team in the nation that loses as much relevance in their first loss as does Boise State?
One loss for them, no matter who it is, and they go from BCS-worthy to maybe #20 in the nation.
Could you imagine
an all orange field? A man can dream….or throw up? What would be a good name for it?
We could call it Orange Glo
and have Billy Mays adver….oh, wait. RIP, annoying guy with one sweet beard.
Everytime they show that
“highest preseason ranking in school history” graphic on OkieSt, I feel better and better about Georgia
Will - Rocky Top Talk
Man.
I fear for the rest of the WAC. Boise is going to shred them so long as they don’t get too cocky.
When has Oklahoma State won a game of this magnitude?
Georgia.

No, Bob Davie
…the Vols had two safeties in the first half against Auburn in 1989, it’s not the first time it’s ever happened.
Will - Rocky Top Talk
It's not a "record" anyway.
There’s no “Most 2 point plays in one half” and if there is, there shouldn’t be. Bob Davie is already in midseason form.
Boys....
with our lack of experienced LBs, will the Tampa 2 give up yardage like this without the scoring?
That's why I wish that we had been receiving news about the LBs during practice.
The sheer lack of information on them has been very frustrating.
by David Hooper on Sep 3, 2009 11:31 PM EDT up reply actions
I think we won't see a whole lot of the actual T2 formation for a while.
Monte does run other stuff quite a bit. But that’ll take a little pressure off the LBS, having such good talent around them.

I'll give you a little secret about the Boise song.
People in the high Rockies love living out there. They love the space and the quiet. They don’t want it filled with other people. So they make sure you don’t want to go.
Mission accomplished.
Of course, the high density of Mormons did that for me too.
Disclaimer: I was born in Utah, I can say that.
And I grew up in Wyoming.
How do you know I’m not Mormon? ;-)

Well, it was a risk
but I think I’m safe. I don’t think Mormons can use the interwebs. Theyre like the Amish of the mountains or something.

He ain't good.
But my number one hated college football commentator of all time remains Brent Musberger.
Joel!!
Can you use your awesome superpowers to make football the only thing that matters?

There are a couple of rules changes this year that will be interesting to see how they play out.
The linemen downfield rule is one that I think is going to cause trouble if it’s not applied evenly across all the conferences.
I think
the first time an important defensive player gets ejected for what would’ve been a clean hit 15 years ago, that’ll be interesting

Especially if it's Eric Berry.
The UT blogosphere will erupt, erupt I say, in a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
In other news
Why am I incapable of hitting reply instead of making a new post? I blame the crappy football tonight for melting my brain.
I also don't remember
an opening night where I saw two head coaches immediately jump to the front of the hot seat watch list.
Why not kick the field goal?
And why run that play on 4th and 1? That’s poor play calling on the safety and on that one, you’re making the back do too much

I understand you're feeling froggy in the second half
but you had 14 yards of offense in the first half. Take your three points, make it a one possession game, and tell your defense to cowboy up. Lots of time left.
I'm fairly sure the SEC is the best conference in FBS football
but I’m 100% certain we have the prettiest coeds.
I'm going to be extra cranky tomorrow
A: Lack of sleep, and 2: Because I skipped sleep to watch this comedy of errors.
Though it got somewhat better in the second half
These numbers are still atrocious:
4 first downs, 128 total yards, 38:04 to 16:23 time of possession

Because then they'd be a defensive and special teams play away from a tie
eliminating the need for the offense to even tale the field. Until OT.
All right
I’m out. See ya tomorrow.

34,000 people in an open-ended stadium
and the Oregon O-line had to hold hands to get the snap count?
Boise may have won the battle
but with this performance they’ll lose the war in terms of national perception…this was supposed to be their biggest chance to make a statement, and I’m not sure this performance qualifies.
Oh well…enjoyed it, all.

Holy crap!
Did anyone else see Blount go postal on Boise State, the cops, and his own fans? To their credit, the Oregon blog is roundly denouncing it.
