Have you sent this tip to the coaches?

shimmy

Of course, they know this but he didn't progress this year in that regard.

Archaea

12:33pm

No, I think you are onto something. They should practice this with simulated pressure.

I am sure he and the coaches are well aware of this deficiency.

Do some CBers not realize that there's a fair catch signal? Really?

Ghost of Peanut

It does too. It’s a kill signal. Literally happens every game, even BYU ones.

This is the problem. I saw a recent poll on CB and almost no one thought that Clemson was a blue blood.

Even after retiring, wont he be football gm for 5 years?

Who is OC? I think losing to BYU was a big part of why he came back.

Kyle on the sidelines, at this point, is a net positive for BYU.

This. He's losing his edge. Let the Utes keep him until Morgan flees.

This is the correct summation of targeting

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

Yeah, because intent is so easy to decipher. 🙄 It’s why the indicators exist.

dtownCoug

12:14pm

So easy to define and quantify unnatural, as well as judge intent.

rainorsnow

12:15pm

The issue with targeting is it has been applied very liberally time after time

idcougarfan

12:16pm

and anyone who saw that hit would call it targeting, it was crown, helmet to helmet, with force, and against a

ChinaFan

12:16pm

I don’t think intent is as important as outcome. Any hit to the head that results in an injury should be targeting.

TCU has ancient blue blood history, success under Patterson, and recent CFP win.

It seems that 400 and 500 yard passing games are more and more rare. I thought

Defenses have just gotten so much better. Rarely do you see recievers wide open and that was commonplace in the 90s

True. Defenses have really adapted, especially going clear back to the Detmer years and beyond.

I.E. location dependent. Do you get lots of sun and is electricity expensive?

So less of a slam dunk in Utah? My Utah County electrician bill averages $60

I would have installed solar by now but every sales guy wants to charge 9000% mark up to maximize their commission. So

Yep. I do calculations every couple years and it never makes sense financially

kotacoug

12:08pm

Paid $10k after rebates and saving about $120/month on average.

So, you save $1400/yr while $10k could have returned $1k/yr that compounds.
