McElwain did it because he used to be on the scUM Staff - IOW, scUM asked him to help them cheat and he said yes out of some bizzare loyalty to a former employer that would ask him to cheat??!!??!! His coaching career is destroyed - hope he understands it's his own damn fault based on a really horrendous, bizzare and frankly unethical decision. I wonder if scumbag Hairball even realizes, or looks back at, the decimation he has wrought on how many people and their families. McElwain is screwed - nobody wants to hire a liar and cheater (well nobody except scUM that is).

Iowa vs PSU 2025

Probably not in the dual meet. Brands knows he's underpowered and the match will be at Penn State this year. He'll use the same strategy that he used the last time they came to Penn State. Guys who have a chance to win will open up and guys like Caliendo who are overmatched will stall as much as possible without being DQ'd. You really can't blame Brands for going that route. It's his best chance to keep the score close and maybe, by some miracle, they can pull off an upset.

While possible, Caliendo is anything but a staller. He always mixes it up with Mitch and is just overmatched and thus gets bonused.

ND jumping PSU?

On what grounds? Our "surviving" Minnesota? CBS gave us heck for it, but everyone had us on upset alert. So, it was expected.

Or simply if they beat USC more convincing than we did? Could be possible, recency bias and all.

At the end of the day, we have a great loss to their worst loss of all contenders along with a better SOS. It just seems tough to give ND the nod over us outside of us losing or them winning 59-0 in LA.

It's called favoritism. Do a little research on sports writers and broadcasting people there's a tell there.

Saquon doing Saquon things

I love the Eagles chemistry. After both of Barkley's long runs the broadcast showed Hurts with this ear to ear grin, so happy for him. Barkley has made Hurts' job so much easier this year.

And then when Gainwell broke two tackles in the 4Q for a TD, Barkley was off the bench into the endzone bouncing around in Gainwell's face to congratulate him. It might be fake but from what I can see he's a really good teammate..

I thoroughly enjoyed the results of the play.

I only like the play call if we have identified a weakness in what our opponent is doing and felt that it was a vulnerability that gave us a high probability of success.

If we were just attempting to do it randomly in hope of catching them off guard, I would not be for trying it at that that juncture of the game. It appears that the special teams' 'QB' and walk on Dom did an admirable job in calling and executing the play.

The special teams were in need of redemption, and they provided it with that play. ST needs to fix their problems. It's too late in the year to be having those type of blocking assignment and punting breakdowns.

Coach said that this fake punt had been called in several games earlier but they audibled out of it.

Who are your top five football head coaches in the Big 10? List is provided below:

N
Day and Ferentz have to be in a top five Franklin too. Lanning probably as well but the track record is relatively short. Then you are talking Fleck, Bielema, Schiaparelli, Probably Cignetti in that last tier but need more data, we'll see how the B1G teams adjust now that they'll be studying the heck out of his tendencies year after year. Then Riley. Riley and Cignetti same tier. Everyone else though Rhule and Fickell are.the top of the bottom third.

Great question.

Thoughts after rewatching Minny

That is not completely accurate. The 9.6 number represents yards per attempt, which is different than yards per coompletion. Yards per attempt favors QBs with higher completion percentages because a QB gets zero yards for an incomplete pass which brings down average per attempt for QB's who lower percentage passes. When you go with yards per completion, PSU is 32nd.

Fair enough but high completion percentage is still an important factor along with yards and INTs. Overall, Drew is rated #8 by Quarterback Ranking (QBR). He's ahead of guys like Beck, Milroe, and Sanders. The people before him are Ward, Dart, Rourke, Howard, Gabriel, Robertson (Baylor), and Horvath (Navy).

If you factor in talent on the team, players that don't play against the same level of competition (Baylor, Navy), Teams that have much more overall/receiving talent teams (Miami, Ohio State, Oregon), that are "pass-happy", and age you get in an even higher rating.

Plus, he's only 20 years old while Roark (24) Howard (23), Gabriel (23), and Sanders (22) are much older.

Whether a block play was called or not, with only a few minutes left in the 4th and trailing, there had to be at least one kid with visions of being a hero. And on our side, I am certain that none of our guys wanted to be the goat who missed a block to spring Reynolds.

What I was unsure about was whether their players were more concerned with blocking to prevent good coverage and facilitate a return vs trying to go for the blocked kick as they had successfully done earlier.
