Obli's Observations, Kent - WTF?

I mean, he did roll it right to the Kent State player--maybe they were trying to give them decent field position lol
Tennessee did execute an onside kick. Good move by the coaches to make that call to get experience in a game where it doesn't matter.
However you did say "718 yards is really good against anyone and is significantly better than their other opponents." That statement is totally false.
How can that team even play two more months of football like that? I truly feel sorry for their predicament. Obviously, a torn Achilles has nothing to do with the schedule that they played, but the hip injury could. Regardless, their non-conference schedule of playing at Pitt, Tennessee and PSU should be totally unacceptable for that program. I could understand one, but not all three. The players were used as human guinea pigs just to pump money into their athletic program. If that's what it takes, then maybe Kent should deemphasize their athletic program.
You have requested several times that I point out your screwups because you consider yourself incapable of making one. Instead of admitting that you were in error, you try to shift the meaning. Kinda blows holes in your credibility. According to your statements, you watch tons more football that anybody else on this board - how could you make such a bone-headed mistake?
That was a great play by Allar. The best part was how he kept his head up looking downfield the whole time. He did look a bit panicked and off balance. The best scrambling QBs remain composed when they're on the move. Hopefully that part will continue to improve as we face better opponents.
Not anymore. They hold it against you if you dont run it up. RUN IT UP!!! Ditch the Pribula package and put up 80. Pribula will actually get more PT if we keep him out of the first half and build a bigger lead.
I’ve yet to see an argument why we should discontinue playing this type of schedule in the college football playoff era. We may have lucked out this year with an easier Conference schedule, but other years will be much tougher with the West Coast schools. The best way to control your own destiny is to win games. I don’t see any criteria in the playoff system that strength of schedules is considered.
I wonder how much Kent State paid Saint Francis (PA) to beat them at their home stadium. There is no way a team should be playing Penn State and Saint Francis in the same season.
The committee says they consider it, but when given opportunities to prove that they do, they have balked. Until there is actually evidence they will put a team with an extra loss in over a team with a clearly weaker schedule, there's no incentive to have a hard non conference schedule if you play in the Big 10 or SEC.
We have been unwilling trailblazers in controversies like this in the past. Surely we will provide the first evidence at some point in the future.
Should have already happened in 2016 IMO, as Washington's non conference schedule that year was pathetic and there's no doubt we would have had an extra win had we played a similar one.
