College Football 2013 |Week 1| - Death Throes
- Thread starter timetokill
- Start date
Richt's weekly teleconference is happening now. Just announced that Malcolm Mitchell has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. For Bama fans, imagine Amari Cooper suffered the same fate.
It happened after Gurley's 75 yd TD run while Mitchell was celebrating. Wow.
That Leonard Floyd gif that is making the rounds now regarding him falling down was caused by him getting hit in the balls pretty hard, apparently.

Ohio doesn't deserve the black out uniforms this year.
What sort of celebration was he performing? Did it involve back handsprings?
It was actually Gurley and he did a chest bump and he landed awkwardly.
Gurley's injury was a quad sprain, he was out for a while as we saw, but came back in like a grown ass man anyway. Crowell used to get tackled once and then take himself out for the rest of the game.
Gurley will be playing against South Carolina, Richt said. Mitchell will get a medical redshirt and have two more years of eligibility.

Don't forget that we have about 8 freshmen on our defensive 2 deep. Only good thing going for us is Josh Harvey-Clemons coming back this week. Needed him last night when they were picking on Connor Norman the whole game. Not his fault he's a white safety.
I don't.

On the basic digital package on Brighthouse. Had to rely on this channel the past few years due to CUSA's TV contract.
Same with FXX and FS1. Although has FXX launched yet?

Colorado up 7-0. Maybe a win will bring ChiTown back. That's what I'm hoping anyways

Ok, this targeting call in the Colorado-CSU game is some weak shit.

At least they got it right on review.

Yeah, I tried to edit in that I saw that, but it was lost to an internet hiccup. What I don't get is how the rule lets you review to see if the hit really was targeting, but the 15 yards stays no matter what.

Saw someone earlier say Bridgewater's interception will hurt him, all of my internal wut has been unleashed

Should our TE have been flagged for "targeting"? I still don't have a complete understanding of the rule.
I've heard the sentiment many times but that is the first time that tears have accompanied it.
Video of Floyd getting popped in the nuts that led to him falling down and getting booed for it. He won't get fired today or anytime soon after winning the division the last two years. Some fans are just irrational, and they want their championship, badly.

"Lowered his head," helmet to helmet, yeah that theoretically could have been an ejection. The ejected Aggie did a lot less than that.
I agree, should have been an ejection. People will be ejected this year for lesser hits than that.

Yeah probably.Should our TE have been flagged for "targeting"? I still don't have a complete understanding of the rule.
I think the rule is pretty simple. Defenseless player and/or launching or leading with your shoulder, helmet, or forearm. As a football player you know when you're trying to do a simple block or knock someone the hell out. The sentence above is a pretty good indication you're trying to knock someone the hell out.
This is beautiful. Music to my ears. Oh dawgs, get a grip.

Well he wasn't ejected but he payed the price. Apparently that hit knocked him out while the NMSU guy was fine.

pretty happy with how everyone played against Ohio, especially our running game. Sans the stupid false starts and the interception due to a WR running the wrong route.
Teddy impressive as always but have a feeling all the constant ESPN love is going turn some people against us.

So after week 1, Bridgewater or Boyd for the Heisman?
Holy shit, seriously?
I'd say after week one the Heisman standings look like this:
(1) R. Nkemdiche (U.M.)
(2) T. Boyd (CU)
(3) T. Bridgewater (UL)
I can give Carr #2, but there's no way that Nkemdiche doesn't have the Heisman on lock down. Didn't you listen to the ESPN commentators?

No, merely college football enthusiasts listening to the experts employed by ESPN so as to be informed as to who is a good player and worthy of accolades and our adoration.
I hear AJ just got pressured again by VA Tech's defensive line.

They were terrible, AJ was constantly under pressure, at least in the first half. Missed the second half.
Underperformance in all facets of blocking, from the line, the TEs, and the running backs. VA Tech also schemed to stuff the run and pressure the QB and played with only 3 deep in coverage almost the entire night. Part of it also seems to be that we purposefully made no adjustments to compensate for this pressure since the game was never in jeopardy. Very few screen passes and very few deep shots to keep them honest.
ITT we post our stadium team intro videos.

I must say, ours is pretty cool this year.

I think the only thing that wasn't borked on VT's team, was the front 7 of the defense.
The Offensive line, multiple times, ran the wrong blocking assignments. Some say those are "correctable" things, but it's gonna take actual proof in 2 weeks, to make me believe that 100%.
Playcalling didn't exactly help out. They either ran the ball while ignoring the 8 in the box from VT, or called some long developing pass routes while the Oline couldn't hold up. Should have went to the screens and slants/hooks a bit more than they did. Get the TE's involved.
Hate to also say it, but Hart is a small back with no speed or agility anymore. Maybe with a few months more of rehab (or going without the knee brace), he can improve. But I'm doubtful.
If Fowler can't learn to block, then he too, is not very useful on the offensive side. If/when the offensive line starts clicking, then maybe as a running back (he's a straight ahead large body RB that has a good top speed, but no acceleration or agility).
Derek Henry is the 1st Alabama RB in my memory, that I've seen walk onto the field, and looked like he had no clue what was going on. Troubling because he was an early enrollee.
If Alabama loses to A&M, I'm pulling for Clemson to win the BCS championship (unless Alabama lucks it's way into the title game). Fuck the SEC.

Fowler's performance was so fucking disappointing. I was really looking forward to his return.
You were the one who called in crying wanting Richt's head, right?

When do these slackers release the new polls? Or is it tomorrow due to the holiday?
More like front 4, we had lost our starting LB in fall practice, his replacement was a combo of a true frosh or walkon. Our other starting LB missed most of last year, but he's a pretty good player. Other LB was a former walkon, but he's been pretty good too (probably all-acc).
Our scheme was pretty good this game. Our OL was bad in pass pro, but all 5 guys are in new positions.
Beamer ball needs to go die somewhere, special teams been pretty bad the past 4-5 years.

It's not delayed because of a holiday, its delayed because a "week 1" game has yet to be played. If Pitt upsets FSU tonight (lol), that would change the polls.
