No explanation on why Bradford was benched yet?

Also, Crabtree is sick good.

I don't see how they reversed that call, unless the announcers are wrong and the replay officials are looking at different angles.

If Bradford is down, Murray is going to have to have a huge game tonight. So far, he's doing pretty damn good.

Big Eastaments-

Defense? We don't need it! Turnovers? We've got plenty of those!

Are you referring to the TT touchdown called back to the one? I thought I heard there was a rule change in college this year that when a player is running the ball into the end zone, the ball has to cross the goal line inside the pylon, not just a part of the player's body. If that's the case, the ball clearly didn't make it inside the pylon, so maybe the ruling is the ball is placed at the one?

Possession of the football is vastly more important than field position, this is why teams are stupid for punting so often. Unless Gregaton's coach was using NFL ringers on defense or they were regularly playing in 30 mph winds with driving sleet and the like, his coach was a moron.

Worst logic ever. I suggest that you apply for a coaching job at the University of Nevada; Chris Ault will love your reasoning process.

Are you seriously taking shots at my intelligence while advocating TURNING DOWN A FREE POSSESSION? Maybe Ault deserves his six figure salary, he at least remembers to ask for the ball to start at least one half a game.

Think your position all the way through. You are offered the choice of "Your ball at your 25" or "Their ball at their 25" and you're crunching some variables and doing some 'rithmetic and deciding that all things being equal it's better for your team if the other team has the ball.

This is absolutely groundbreaking. All that nonsense about turnovers and time of possession? Ridiculous! As long as we can keep them from gaining 20 yards and/or keep their net punt under 30 yards, WE'LL WIN THE BATTLE OF FIELD POSITION!!!!
