Would they be able to use video to help in a case like this? I am thinking along the lines of asking the teams for a copy of their game video.

Looking it up, the only question is the 4 starting o linemen. The only other starters still playing are Hendershot and Fryfogle On defense, Mullen and Taylor, the starting corners from last year are out. The entire D line is out now, and McFadden is the only LB still playing that was a returning starter. So out of 18 returning starters, only a handful are still playing. Depth was a known issue coming into the season, and it is showing now; especially in the defensive backfield.

Two more injuries on defense with Ryder Anderson, and Jaren Handy out.......frustrating to see, especially when it is a teammate that takes them out. And now Carr limps off.

Did folks in the Indy area see that Brownsburg was that much better than Carmel this season? Have to admit, the score is eye opening to me. Congrats to them for a solid win.

I appreciate the history of this rivalry, but as a fan, it has consistently been one of the most frustrating games to watch. At this level, the option should not be as difficult to defend as it is. Just looks like guys are trying to find the ball, rather than just attacking their responsibility. Lou Holtz teams actually seemed to defend these teams really well. That said, credit goes to the coaches at Navy for getting them to execute so well in this game. Just wish they could do it more consistently against their schedule.

Saw a tweet before the game by Trai Essex asking if Clemson had the results that Wake Forest did with that schedule, they would be the 2nd ranked team today, right? His issue was that pre season rankings are a joke. BUUUUUUT, Wake is giving up a LOT at Chapel Hill today……57 points, and well over 300 yards rushing….ouch.

I think for it to really work though, have 2 or 3 games at the same site. Someone mentioned that some fans may stay home for a neutral site game, but I think the difference could be made up if there were options. I would be more inclined to see a couple games in a day at the same site rather than two teams I don’t normally follow playing close by.

Early intervention would have been a huge help in keeping this from happening. The game one week ago got pretty chippy as well, and should have been dealt with in the first half. There was even an incident in the tunnel going into the half….not a fan of pointing kids out, but numbers were similar a week ago at NH. As far as Wayne players getting involved, from what I have seen, it does look like a lot of them are pulling teammates back. Credit is due to the young men doing that.

Stuffing and/or mashed taters all day here

I have heard good things about Essenhaus. But, please don't take this the wrong way; I chuckled a bit about the Amish experience for Leo fans.........there are a LOT of hitching posts and manure covered roads around the Leo area as well. 🙂

Praising the big uglies up front…..love it.

Sometimes it can just be a numbers game. For IU, they had several RB's, including a preferred walk on from New Pal. We have seen the o line needs more work. But it is great to see Carson doing well.

Curious as far as that take on Dullaghan. I had the opposite impression. I think one of the issues, even with a couple recent coaches both programs had, was that kids in Indiana were not good enough to recruit. Having been around a couple seasons, at least one of them made that very clear while he was a coach at an FCS school. I know one of the coaches at IU was known to just not show up to meet players. Dullaghan was never shy about mentioning that, but I never had the impression he was not doing much to get his kids to go any where. There are some cases where coaches may shy away. Steve Holman was an absolute bust at MSU, and James Banks at Tennessee was only slightly better. Things like that will cloud opinions of college coaches. EDIT: details missed. A couple things to support DD as well. he did start the Bishop Dullaghan camp long before off season camps were a thing; not just to improve talent, but it allowed college coaches to watch kids compete. The other point is that he did come from Purdue to coach at BD. Jim Young left for West Point, and Mrs. D said it's football or me, so he stayed in Indiana. I would say he had a pretty good idea what it took for kids to get to college.

seems to be a thing lately. 🤣

Here is the full ranking https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings?fbclid=IwAR3_OXwpPIa--nNhflummQUMRo7y598HRnzVJ1KUZk89dKnXPtCgekX0mc0 This may be the first year that the argument for more than 4 teams becomes viable? I was convinced after the last 3 seasons, that we were stuck with Clemson and Alabama battling it out for several years.

First CFP Poll is out

Funny you ignore the comments about the crayons.....calling me idiotic or moronic. But whatever.

as you wish

You could not be more wrong....no power trip here at......but keep up with the name calling, because it apparently makes you feel special.....says FAR more about you than me. That said, keep it up and I will take care of it.

I was actually just trying to make light of it.....but you must need a younger boys crayon book to comprehend that. Try to keep it light hearted, but you cannot help but get your panties in wad, huh? lol Don't like the way I do things here? simple solution hot shot.

Ok...store them for later then cool cat.

Have we seen buddy? bub? pal? or as Dean would say....pally? dude? bruh? bro? Scooter? pops? daddy-o? yet

But the first several posts were comments regarding the 2019 predictions. If you also go back, that is quite noticeable too. and to the people who added comments that they did not realize it was from 2019.... soooo, maybe start a topic with the link for this season???? Or do you need your crayons back? 😄
