Game Thread Nebraska @ UCLA (Saturday, November 8, 8:00pm FOX)

[BigRedSob]

Cockeye will be 6-4 when they arrive in Lincoln and will no longer have the edge on special teams. Its a very winnable game.

They’ll be 7-4 when they come to Lincoln. They’ll beat MSU

We missed Dylan so much tonight. Man he’s a stud. The 12 sacks TJ didnt take really hurt us, but we managed to get the win!

I know Holgo has taken his lumps, but he identified EJ as a special guy and convinced him to return. Talent identification and retention is huge in today's portal game, and Dana is damn good at it.

Both T. Fraze and Sapp have retired, so it'd be tough regardless.

Is Corcoran turning into an asset finally?

He seemed like he did well last night. Glad he stuck around lol

 

[alt f4]

@alt f4 any reason why it seems like we never see first down measurements anymore?

Yes. Its now the accepted/trained officials mechanics on all levels of college and most high schools that play on field turf. We play "line to line". You can thank the hurry up, no huddle for this, and also TV. It speeds up the game considerably.

Every 1st down starts on a yard line, line to gain is then obviously on a yard line.

Most spots are called "soft spots" where you spot the ball on nearest yard line, not between. I'd guess 98 to 99% of snaps start and end a yard line.

When you get within 1 yard of a first down you "hard spot", where you spot exactly where down. As an an official you make this obviously short or long of line to gain.

Since you have an obvious line to gain on a yard line officials know, without measuring, if a first down is achieved.

Edit: the TV part. When the yellow/white lines first started, they had perspective issues. A factor in line to line mechanic, was they could use the yard lines to determine perspective on any TV angle if it started on a yard line. Same with first down.

So in the game of inches, we're just randomly giving teams unearned yardage.

Do you think Mich State can do us a favor and beat both pedo and Cockeye ?

Gonna go with “no” on that

Was impressed with Dylan Rodgers, thought he needed to portal but played pretty well
