Red zone playcalling...Alabama was not great-coachingsearch/rbr
First, it’s clear that the triple-option is king in the red zone. Navy, Georgia Tech, Army and New Mexico make up four of the top five, and Air Force is not far behind. That also makes Florida State and Jimbo Fisher even more impressive.

Insightful stuff here on red zone play-callers. As the CS article points out, the option rules the ground and ultimately the end zone. Navy’s two-year year record, for instance, hovers at nearly 80%, which is impressive even if you’re getting jobbed by a vicious, foul-mouthed 13-year old on XBox. Lane Kiffin, who has fielded teams in the top 20 in yards, scoring average, yards per game, yards per play, and the like the last three seasons didn’t even make the Top 20 when it came to cashing in on Alabama’s red zone opportunities. [When we say #RTDB, Lane, we don’t mean jet sweep on first and goal from the three. Seriously, I hope I never see that play again as long as I live.]

SMU, but even dumber-espn/rbr
This NCAA case is going to tear the Magnolia State apart.
Lawyers representing Rebel Rags, a retail store in Oxford, Mississippi, filed a civil lawsuit in Lafayette County (Mississippi) Superior Court on Friday against Mississippi State freshmen Leo Lewis and Kobe Jones and Lindsey Miller, Tunsil's estranged stepfather.
The lawsuit accuses the trio and other unnamed defendants of making false statements to NCAA investigators "intentionally, maliciously and/or with reckless disregard for the consequences of their actions" and causing "economic and reputational damage to the plaintiff."
Remember: Ole Miss already outed one student athlete in their response to the NCAA’s notice of allegations. This lawsuit similarly names Leo Lewis, but to that also outs Kobe Jones (and Tunsil’s stepdad.) Rebel Rags, which has purported #network ties to the Rebels, of course is refuting its involvement. But, by naming the State players before the COI has even had a hearing much less a ruling, the pattern of intimidation is emerging; one plainly being waged by Ole Miss and its surrogates in a very small state with a very long memory. This lawsuit and the coy “slip” in the response were opportunities to out some now-Bulldogs and turn the heat up on them in anticipation of that hearing and any appeals. It’s as bush league against the kids as it is a hardball move by jilted lovers adults seeking some good ole CYA for a football program that allegedly cheated like SMU but has the smooth dance moves of Boo Radley.
Get your popcorn...then take a hot shower. The sleaze has only begun to fly.
