I have watched every game of Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, and Will Levis in 2023, and have come to two conclusions: 1) Reasonable minds can disagree on Young and Stroud. I'd take Stroud first, but I get why others would take Young. 2) I don't understand Levis as a first-round pick.

A Briles favorite. I have a theory (just a theory!) that whenever the Briles' tree gets a 3-tech to the field on this play - and therefore know the safety has to fit the boundary B-Gap - it's not a read for the QB: it's an automatic trigger to throw the backside glance.

Rome spent the majority of the Second Punic War getting its teeth kicked in, losing 2/3rds of all troops it put on battlefield, seeing a generation of its best minds killed, and running from Hannibal. A few decades later, Rome ruled the Mediterranean. Adversity is fertile soil.

Colorado State has one freakin' play: Shallow Cross. Colorado has never adjusted. It is still working 3 quarters later.

Oregon State HC Jonathan Smith led the 2022 Beavers to a 10-3 record & their best finish in the AP poll ( #17 ) since 2000 ( #4 - Fiesta Bowl Champs). Base OFF is UC/Pistol Outside Zone & the PA pass game off of it. Check out 5 efficient/explosive wrinkles from the 22 season 🧵

The Bucs should think very carefully about ever letting Lavonte David or Devin White off their roster.

Open Secret: About 70% of a DC's time in game planning is spent trying to ruin the opposing OL's day. And about 100% of the OLC's time is spent trying to stop the DC from succeeding. They are eternal adversaries. And the most QBs-turned-OCs are ignorant of the war they fight.

Well, Justin Wilcox is coming to Nike COY in Portland, so that means I have to be there. Dude, that man never does clinics, and is responsible for more schematic changes in collegiate defenses in the past 25 years than all but like 2-3 coaches.

This is actually just an audible by the OL on Outside Zone. The Guard and Tackle are responsible for the 3T and EMLOS. But in Chip Kelly's system, the OL can call a fold block as long as both agree. The OT downs the 3T, and the OG wraps to take on the EMLOS.

UCLA with an interesting scheme as they fold the guard around the tackle on something resembling inside zone. What would you call this scheme? Who else runs it? #UCLA #BruinsFootball #Pac12AfterDark

The old single-wing QB super-Power for the TD. Bill Belichick is introducing the world to real manball, and I love it.

There are two types of DCs: One looks at the board and goes, "What do we have installed to stop this?" The other looks at the board and goes, "What is best to stop this?" The latter guys have longer careers.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but millions of people - like me - love Mountain West football. If you can't find the joy in a Saturday afternoon of Colorado State vs. Air Force, maybe this sport isn't for you.

I don’t care about Mountain West football. And neither does the rest of America.
