Jonathan Smith might have been a good coach when he arrived at Michigan State, and his resume says that's the case. But in 2025, Michigan State was one of the worst coached teams in the country. I often think its foolish to fire a coach after only two seasons, but the Spartans looked like an...

7-29 in his last three non-Covid seasons. We all should be terrified. And if you look at Fitz's resume, the number of total wins he accumulated during the years vs some of the worst Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska, and Minnesota teams of all time is staggering. Hell, let's look at his really good...

That scoring defense stat is actually worse than it looks because scoring defense can sometimes be distorted by bad offensive turnovers and special teams play. Hell, Frost's 2021 defense actually only surrendered about 17 offensive points per game, but they gave up nearly another 6 points per...

I would take a $3 million stab at Haines from Indiana. His defenses had insane numbers even before he ended up with the Hoosiers.

I think he may be confused that the punting team can't advance a muffed punt.

I haven't been following this news all day. Im too much of an NFL guy. But did Ole Miss tell Kiffin he couldn't finish the season with them or did Kiffin just decide it was time to move on? I don't understand either argument.

UCLA in Week one does not count dipshit..

Just go look at what Rutgers did to KState last season in their bowl game. The big 12 is 3rd tier. Nebraska would be pretty damn competitive in the Big 12 or ACC. Teams like Utah would be very average vs the Big Ten. Thank God Nebraska doesn't have to play Tennessee. That would be a mismatch.

Fair enough.

It's in Rosemont, Illinois And I just misstyped the difference between NY and Chicago. And everything is very accurate.

1. Utah is a Big 12 team. That's like adding a handicap in golf, even when playing a team like Nebraska from the Big Ten. 2. Utah's dominant run game is led by 2 first round NFL tackles. They both will opt out of a bowl game. Their center could as well. 3. Utah's defense is terrible. Its...

Still not a Tier 1 game. That's why the game drew the 3rd string CBS crew. Those guys call Mountain West games. I'm not saying there is a viable excuse, but I've watched enough Big Ten games to know they weren't conducting the same due diligence. I guarantee the dudes working the NY office...

I can see how an official could miss that call in the moment. It's bang bang and you're immediately following the fumble into the end zone. However, I don't know how the replay crew in New York could possibly see that hit and not seek more time to review.

1. If targeting is not called on the field, the Big Ten replay team in New York is then responsible for buzzing the head official and stopping the game to review for possible targeting. It's not subject to a review request from a coach. 2. The way the CBS crew reacted, I think they were...

Less Turnovers and fewer penalties suggests a more disciplined football team. I think the way Rhule coaches in practice creates that mentality. But Rhule needs to reevaluate how he self Scouts while also getting help with game management.
