La Tech Game Week Thread

I’m legit when I say this, whatever lower p5 group5 offers for him to be their HC, we pay more

Tony White was by far my favorite coach hire but I still won’t be worried at all when he inevitably gets a HC gig.

Rhule seems very tied to the 3-3-5 and between the scheme and what Rhule demands from his coaches, I don’t see a scenario we could possibly get a bad DC.

I’m really biased on it though because Rocky Long’s presentation on his defense has been by far my favorite scheme-oriented coach presentation I’ve ever got the chance to see (Sean McVay was at that clinic too and had less coaches there watching which surprised me). I just really can’t see how it would fail in the Big10 west with a good hard-nosed coach leading it. If we can get 2 good years out of Coach White, I have complete confidence it will be a situation where a position coach moves up and it keeps on rolling.

Should he play Batman? Kind of has a Christian Bale look to him.
Sounds like he was interviewing for his next job to be on Rhule’s staff.

Rhule thinks guys are gonna be out combining in the rain and mud? What a goddamn city boy

Duck, work with me here. I do believe there are parts of the state that will not be getting rain at game time. We likely have listeners around the world and likely on Mars as well. He has to push these boys to play come hell or high water.

17 YO true freshman QB with a bizarre throwing motion v Baylor

Meet the youngest starting quarterback in college football, who throws like no one else

Chris Howell wasn’t aware that the Internet became entranced with him earlier this week. By the time he was the latest college football player to reach viral levels on social media platforms, he was already fast asleep. When he awoke on Tuesday morning, his phone was swamped with calls and messages from over 100 friends and family members. The only surprise was that the college football universe had taken notice of the 17-year-old left-handed true freshman quarterback at Long Island University. Everyone who already knows Howell and has seen him play knows how uniquely fun his game is. Long Island turned to Howell in search of a spark on the road against a Power 5 opponent and made him the starter for Saturday’s 30-7 loss at Baylor. With 1:20 left in the second quarter, Howell introduced his unorthodox delivery to those watching on ESPN when, with two defensive linemen closing in on him, he uncorked a 35-yard pass down the Long Island sideline. The commentators were so enthralled by the throw that their voices cracked. Nobody in America throws like Chris Howell. The pass looked half sidearm sling, half underhanded spiral. If you watch the throw in slow motion, Howell drops the ball so low it is down near his left knee. When the throw was shared to a wider online audience Monday afternoon, fans of the sport were awestruck, dumbfounded and curious as to how he makes it work.

I wonder how much Sims plays.

He's gonna be rusty AF when/if we start him vs Michigan.

Probably 2 series, I'd guess

If you go back to the Monday after the Colorado game the rumor was that HH would start the next two and Sims would start next against Michigan.

I think this has been the plan all along (since CU). No sense for Sims to stay banged up, they needed HH to get game experience.

La Tech's bulldog is a pussy. He in no way compares to UGA's Dawg. On that alone, Nebraska by 50.
