    Defense Wins Championships, But Not this Time

    According to the team stats on ESPN, Clemson was 7 of 18 on third down conversions - they had 31 first downs, but not all of those came on third down. We were 2 of 15 on third down conversions, and had 16 total first downs.

    Defense Wins Championships, But Not this Time

    My biggest frustration is not making an effort to shorten the game once we had a lead by running the ball. We ran the ball 34 times for 6.5 yds/carry. Clemson ran the ball 42 times for 2.2 yds/carry. Their willingness to work towards third and short for easier conversions paid off and gassed...

    Link: California youth football mercy rule

    I've coached in the Pop Warner league here in central NC for 6 years. This will be my last as my son is aging out and will play middle school ball next year. The mercy/slaughter rule for our league is once you are up by 28 points, you have a running clock that can only be stopped due to injury...

    Question: What is the definition of a defenseless player?

    It needs to go - it imbalances the game too far in favor of the offense. Slants and crossing routes are difficult enough to defend, but if teams want to make those plays their bread and butter then their receivers should be prepared to get their bells rung. Don't want your receivers punished...

    As Great as Saban is, he was out-coached by Les Miles Today

    I'd say that the coaching was about even, which is quite a compliment to Miles, and their execution was just better. On the fourth and one, the guy responsible for contain let himself get drawn inside. On the fake punt, and several of the early options the defense was playing without...

    Poll: How many HDTVs in your home?

    We have two - a 52" Samsung 1080p 120hz in the family room with my PS3 hooked up to it, and a 37" LG 1080p 120hz in the bedroom with the XBOX360 attached. Dish HD DVRs on both. Bought all my HDMI cables from monoprice. Needless to say, I'm a gaming/gadget freak.

    My USCe Experience

    We were treated pretty well overall, no real complaints - going down the ramp there were a few teens that were bidding us farewell rather enthusiastically, but harmlessly, and outside the stadium walking down US48 there were a few unintelligible toothless drunks hollering. Most of the fans...

    Jalston Fowler

    He was playing tailback at the end of the game. He was listed at 236 in the media guide today. He's big & quick, he hits the hole very fast.

    Question: Vlachos injured?

    They had him sitting on the table behind the bench for the rest of the game, and wrapped his foot/ankle heavily. Hope the big guy will be a'ight soon. Lots of guys coming over to him to encourage him.

    News Article: Cutcliffe: Duke's not interested in shifting Tide

    We'll be there in Crimson. I ordered 4 reserved season tickets back in the spring. I live about 40 miles from Durham, so I figured I could sell some of the other games, give them to friends or even attend one or two that don't conflict with our games. I've been to several 'Bama games, but my...
