in the first half
it was Barkley screen to Woods, pass to one of his receivers, hand off, screen, long pass to Woods, and on repeat.
And Barkley always seemed to get enough time to make the play

Carried over from last thread, Richardson v. Ball
Richardson has more carries than Monte Ball, period. And I see no major anomalies.
Week by week, Richardson v. Ball
13 10
26 18
11 20
17 15
29 30
19 13
17 18
17 17
23 20
32 23
32 38
27 25

thats a grand total of 3 more carries for Richardson

I'm a little drunk and counting
but the point is that the difference is pretty much moot.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 12:52 AM EST up reply actions
I count 16
but that’s not the point. The question was whether one played “half” of some games while the other was grinding out easy numbers. The answer is yes: Saban inflated Richardson’s stats against Georgia Southern, while Ball never went over 20 carries out of conference.
actually
sadly, we need those yards against Southern. They also returned a kick off for a touch down, and the game was only completely in doubt in the late 4th.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 12:56 AM EST up reply actions
This man speaks truth
If Honey Badger hadn’t gone and gotten hisself suspended this would have been the year of the defensive winner and that punt return would have been the clincher.
I am not making this up
Georgia Southern put up 307 yards of offense against us, the most of anyone we played. They also held a time of possesion advantage over us, again, the only team to do it. A 3-4 isn’t a great match against a good option team, as we are defensively designed to shut down spreads and pro sets. Even during the broadcast today, they mentioned that we signed up to play Southern when they were a spread team.

no
we apparently signed the contract with them 2 years ago, and they are amongst the favorites to win the FCS. They run the same Navy style offense that Tech does, and again, if you don’t see it often, its not easy to stop.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 1:05 AM EST up reply actions
possibly
Well, I think Richardson is a great RB heading for a fine NFL career. But I also think if he hadn’t been a top preseason candidate like Ball and/or had Bama not moved back into the top 2 l, he’d be borderline to even make the trip to New York.
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHA!

The last two coaching searches, there have been some finalists who have gone on to be VERY successful. Baltimore Harbaugh, Al Golden, Mike Reilly, and a bunch of others that the rage is leaving out of my mind right now. We just have chosen the exact worst coach of the finalists. It boggles my mind that Guerrero’s job is safe.
With that said, from what I’ve seen on the UCLA scout site, it looks like Petersen is still very much a possibility, Herm Edwards doesn’t have a prayer, and there will be 3-4 million to pay the coach and another 2-3 for his assistants

Capital One Bowl or Gator Bowl (is that Big Ten #3?) are looking more likely at the moment.
I think once you're in the top 12, you can be picked.
Fair ain’t got nothing to do with it.

The Furd will probably be in the top 4 anyway, so they're safe.

Top 14, actually.
If one team ranked ahead of Michigan looses they’re in the BCS, It’s not fair or right but that’s the way the system works right now.
"They wouldn't be heroes if they were infallible, in fact they wouldn't be heroes if they weren't miserable wretched dogs, the pariahs of the earth, besides which the only reason to build up an idol is to tear it down again."
Assuming all favorites win:
Automatic qualifiers:
SEC: LSU
B1G: Wisconsin
Pac-12: Oregon
Big X II: Oklahoma State
ACC: Virginia Tech
Big East: Aw, fuck it.
Alabama, Stanford, and Houston are slam dunks for at-large bids. Arkansas can’t make it. This leaves a 10-2 Michigan against 9-3 Oklahoma, 10-2 Kansas State, 10-3 Michigan State, 9-3 Nebraska, and an 11-1 Boise that didn’t win its conference. I think Michigan is probably the best choice out of that.
There is no wiggle room in those words. No hoping, no wishing — just a clear-as-day declaration that the Michigan Wolverines are the "leaders and best", and everyone else will simply have to deal with it. -John U. Bacon
If Georgia wins, we are fucked
If Oklahoma wins, we could be fucked
If Clemson wins, we could be fucked
If UCLA wins, LOL just kidding
I think we're okay if Georgia wins unless it triggers the 3 SEC team doomsday scenario.
Oklahoma and Clemson could cause problems.
Southern Miss beating Houston in the C-USA title game would be great. Other than that, we’re praying for chalk.
There is no wiggle room in those words. No hoping, no wishing — just a clear-as-day declaration that the Michigan Wolverines are the "leaders and best", and everyone else will simply have to deal with it. -John U. Bacon
Georgia winning would trigger the doomsday scenario
unless Okie State passes Alabama.
No way LSU drops below #2, unless Georgia beats them by eleventy points.
I would keep LSU at #1 if they lose to Georgia, based on quality of wins.
Alabama, Arkansas, Oregon, Auburn, and West Virginia. Good enough.
So you’re probably right. Les has to do his alma mater a solid and not mess this up.

And it's not even THAT unlikely
20% of the time, the underdog in the SEC title game has won. And about another 20%, it was unbelievably close to a major upset.
I think if LSU played Georgia 1M times, LSU would probably win something like 750k to 825k of those games. But I wouldn’t break my stride at all if Georgia somehow managed to pull out one of those winning games next week.
by Synaesthesia on Nov 27, 2011 1:52 AM EST up reply actions
I think Georgia wins next week 30% of the time
They have all the motivation, SEC champ vs. 5th place in the SEC in most people’s eyes. LSU is playing with house money, having just played an emotional Arky game and wrapped up a probable national title birth. The 70% is simply because LSU is simply much better, and also may be one of those teams that simply doesn’t take a week off no matter what.
you can't automatically dismiss it as a concept
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:08 AM EST up reply actions
the problem with Georgia
frankly is that they played virtually no one of consequence in their run. One ranked team, in the form of GA Tech, is all they beat. For that matter, Tech’s ranking is questionable at best. Outside of that, when they faced a ranked opponent, they lost. Ok, I buy into the notion that a team can grow and improve over a season. But I have a hard time buying into a team that barely beats the worst florida team in 25 years, needs some luck to beat Vandy, and sneaks past Kentucky. Personally, i think they get their shit pushed in next weekend.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:13 AM EST up reply actions
Auburn was ranked when UGA played them
and as bad as Auburn is, given how bad the teams are this year after the top few, Auburn might still be top 25 this year in terms of who would win most of the time.
I will say this, considering the number of games
that auburn has lost by 25 points or more, and the fact that they are ranked is an indictment on how average most teams have been this year. A few top tier teams, and virtually mediocrity across the board.

the problem is, they didn’t play the big three in the west. We get to find out next saturday. I personally think they are smoke and mirrors, but they have earned the right to prove me wrong.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:07 AM EST up reply actions
they have definitely benefited from the schedule
so does Boise most years. So did TCU last year. So did USC during their big runs. So did Nebraska (repeatedly) back in the day. That doesn’t change the fact that those teams were awesome at the end. If you only looked at what Georgia has done the last four weeks and compare it to Bama, it’s not obvious who’s better. I think Bama is better, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.
as I said
they have earned the right to prove me wrong. They did what they had to do. It wasn’t always pretty, but they got they job done. However, as a neutral observer, I would wager greatly that you would side with me.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:18 AM EST up reply actions
I would wager greatly that Bama is better than UGA and would beat them by a sizable margin most of the time
I also think Georgia likely has a better chance of beating LSU next week than Bama does in five weeks. These are not inconsistent statements.
if your removed special teams from the equation
I would agree with you. That said, I actually like our chances in New Orleans. An extra week to get healthy, combined with not knowledge that we wont kick a field goal beyond the 30; I actually think we will win, and do so in going away fashion. But then again, I have been wrong before.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:25 AM EST up reply actions
the game will be very different
look at FSU-UF in 1996 and again in Sugar Bowl as indication. My feeling, Bama will take more chances, realizing they have to score to win. LSU will respond in kind on offense in ways only Les Miles can. Increased risk taking favors LSU, which is a less “solid” defense but is more “opportunistic,” resulting in 2 or more LSU scores mostly (if not directly) on defense. Saban has not shown himself to be a good coach when tested by difficult circumstances.
LSU by 17, 34-17 or so.
I would reverse the score
but obviously, I am biased to the highest degree. I would agree that what we saw in T-town won’t be repeated, as both teams will change their strategy.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:31 AM EST up reply actions
The interesting thing
is that LSU will be running a much different offense than in the last game.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
I completely agree
and ironically, I think they will use film off of Georgia Southern to try to attack us with the option. After all, its the only thing that has bee remotely successful against this.
by BamaThrasher on Nov 27, 2011 2:35 AM EST up reply actions
the doomsday scenario is nearly a foregone conclusion if UGA wins
even if Georgia clobbered LSU, I doubt the voters would put them below Bama. And I doubt anyone goes above Bama after their finish.
Listen to me Dmitri, if the doomsday machine goes of it's not gonna be good for anybody, now is it?

If Okie beats Okie Lite
then Michigan is probably not top 14. I think Boise then gets a Fiesta Bowl rematch. Conversely, if LSU loses to Georgia, there will only be two at-larges bid because it’ll be Georgia in the Sugar and Bama-LSU will be in the title game. So Houston and probably Stanford.
If LSU loses to Georgia, there's no way on earth it's LSU-Alabama in the BCS final.

a plus-one that (this year, anyway) would most likely generate LSU-Bama anyway

But if they’re the only two to get a bite at the apple, it looks shifty as hell, and it’s not like the SEC isn’t insufferable enough as it is.

28-0 in two years
That would be impressive, and there’d be a shot at more wins for a class than that Boise State class with a bucketful
past results with +1
2010 2 PAC teams
2008 2 SEC, 2 Big12
2007 Georgia 5th, just missed 2 SEC
2006 2 SEC teams
2005 2 B1G teams
2004 Auburn in (I can support this year’s result)
This is really the “fairness” other conferences want?
the problem is, their won't be time for voters to reach a consensus on who to screw
You can’t have a title game at this point that excludes Bama AND LSU. And it’s hard to exclude LSU since they beat Bama. Some would vote Bama 1 and LSU 3. Others would keep LSU 1 and put Bama 3. Some would have Okie 2, others Va Tech 2. Most southern voters would leave Bama-LSU 1-2 in some order. The end result is no team gets enough margin to pass either of them.
I got the BCS standing in front of me.
Georgia falls, Oklahoma falls, and that’s good enough to put Michigan at No. 13 (Don’t see any team jumping Michigan at this point)
Wisconsin jumping means Michigan State falling
so that really means nothing.
I think Georgia falls behind Michigan (unless Georgia plays LSU super close). Not sure about Oklahoma though.

UCLA gets blown out so fucking much this decade. Even the 10 win 05 team’s two losses were huge blowouts

In fairness, I also attended that Ivy League school

I don't think FSU has the offense (constant refrain?) to get there, I think.
It all depends on match-ups, though.
got there last year with little offense
and came within 1 of a Final 4 team. Took UConn to OT tonight. Offense may be worse, D may be better. We’ll see.
But as I was told repeatedly in grad school, FSU is no Harvard, that’s for sure.
Had a lot of things break right last year, if I can recall correctly.
Plus, you lost Singleton. That’s huge.

It’s all gonna depend on not getting injured and continuing to improve of course.

Only problem: You're facing against teams that are more on your level than you think right now.
UK isn’t up against 2009-2010 level of CBB talent here. Ohio State, UCONN (even with the loss to UCF), UNC (even with the loss to UNLV), and Syracuse are all on the same level and potential as Kentucky.
But yes, you guys should be one of the favorites in March. No one denies this.
That's a real good point
It’s been a few years since we had real elite teams in college basketball and we have others this year. You think UConn’s that good though? I’d put UNC, OSU and Syracuse up there fo sho. UConn has the talent but I’m not sure they have the depth.

Because Ben Howland somehow cannot recruit California without his top assistant who just left for a job somewhere.
Which is just pure bred insanity.
Fun fact:
Of our big class coming in next year, exactly ZERO are Californians.
The top assistant left a few years ago actually.
The biggest problem was the 2008 class
Coming off the last final four, ranked #1 and pretty much a total bust. Jrue Holiday is only now in the NBA starting to justify being the #1 guard in the country, Malcolm Lee took a while to get rolling, Jerime Anderson was awful until the end of last year and is now merely passable, and Bobo Morgan is now riding the pine at Baylor. That took us from elite to the awful 09 season, and everything since has been trying to recover.
Also, Howland stopped recruiting athletes for defense and prioritized offense. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Alfred Aboya wouldn’t have gotten a second look from him if they came out now.
They were 100% before the season started
Only a total meltdown would have kept him away. And…well…
We shall see.

I can say from personal knowledge that Chow had serious head coach aspirations.
He just miscalculated and never got the right offer. Kentucky basically offered him and he declined, waiting for a West-coast opportunity.
Do we even have enough coaching candidates to fill all of them?
or will some programs look for their head coaches on Craiglist?
Remember the five.
Leach, Leavitt, Mangino, Shannon, Rodriguez Friedgen.
I don’t know how I missed the Fridge the first time I made this list. He probably belongs there more than Shannon does.

We have only had this once in my lifetime
Rocky Long in 1997. DeWayne Walker in 06 would have made the list had he not gone into prevent vs ND on their last drive. One would think that, with everybody else in the conference going heavy O, it might behoove use to go the other way.
I have doubts about Rocky Long in San Diego
When/if he crashes, maybe UCLA can bring Rocky back as DC?
I don't think he'll crash; he's a solid coach and SDSU has no expectations
Still can’t believe NM fired him
NM wanted to go to the "next level" you see
and they got Locksley’d.
I disagree about SDSU having no expectations, though. Some SDSU fans are spoiled by Brady Hoke.
I thought that was what Cal special teams was for.

We're undefeated in that building.
Michigan State, Northwestern, Aggies.

So is there any clarification of the Big East, or is it still confusing as hell as to who will win it?
by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Nov 27, 2011 9:35 AM EST reply actions
there are 3 contestants left in the hunger games
WVU – Needs a Cincy win and a Win over USF. USF always beats WVU
Cincy – needs a cincy win
Louisville – needs a cincy loss
It's sort of simple now.
If Cincinnati loses to UConn: Louisville
If Cincinnati beats UConn AND West Virginia loses to USF: Cincinnati
If Cincinnati beats UConn AND West Virginia BEATS USF: Whoever’s highest in the BCS standings among Cincy, Louisville, and Wf’nV

So it's imperative to have UConn beat Cincinnati to have the most LOLsome Orange Bowl possible, right?

Yes Louisville would be the most laughable
granted they beat WVU
Half the BCS bankrupts with the inclusion of UCLA and Louisville in the Rose and Orange Bowls
On the other hand in CHAOS scenario, I can’t imagine a more higher-grossing set of games (adding tickets, TV, and moichendise) than an LSU-Alabama title game and a Sugar Bowl with UGA and a strong at-large (plz to not have Houston in the Sugar Bowl)

sadly after last night
there is no way UCLA is beating oregon. My money is on WVU going to the BCS along with team formely known as Fuck Clemson. If the Orange bowl gets Clemson-WVU it will be a or a near sellout. Stanford-Houston in the sugar would be crickets chirping.
The crowd shots of Clempson-WVU would be glorious
I think the Sugar Bowl would just pull a Corso and steal Michigan with blatant disregard to Stanford.
by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Nov 27, 2011 9:58 AM EST up reply actions
Stanford and their army of 17 fans
would occupy the Superdome.
Won't happen.
Sugar: ? vs ?
Rose: Wisky/Sparty vs Oregon/UCLA
Fiesta: Bedlam vs. ?
Orange: VT/Clemson vs ?
The selection order for the at-large teams, assuming an LSU/Bama title game:
Sugar, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.
The loser of the B1G title game is not going to a BCS bowl. Clemson is not going if they lose to VT, although VT might still be in the mix with a loss. I do not think Oregon would survive a loss to UCLA. Oklahoma would not survive a loss to Okie Lite, but Okie Lite MIGHT survive a loss to Oklahoma.
Remaining candidates, in order of their likely BCS standings: Stanford, Houston, Boise, (Oklahoma State if they lose Bedlam), Kansas State, Michigan… Crackalacky?, Big East champion
The Sugar’s first selection in that scenario is going to be either Houston, K-State, or Michigan (or Okie Lite if they lose Bedlam), because I doubt they want Stanford. The Fiesta’s up next; if the Sugar takes Houston or Michigan, the Fiesta will take the other (because obviously the Fiesta’s not taking a Big 12 team to play a Big 12 team), and I doubt they want Stanford. The Sugar would then be left with whoever’s left from the first list I mentioned… BUT, if the Big East champ is WVU, I think the Sugar would take them right then and there, because the Sugar Bowl LOVES WVU, always have. Voila, you end up with Virginia Tech or Clemson against Stanford in the Orange.

Addendum
If the Big East champ is NOT WVU, the Sugar WOULD take Stanford with their second pick rather than Loovill or Cincy.

Would Houston be a better draw than Stanford?
by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Nov 27, 2011 10:13 AM EST up reply actions
In New Orleans? Yeeeeeeeah.
It’s only a 3-4 hour drive, and Houston’s not as devoid of fans as people think they are. Or, rather, they’re well-endowed with bandwagon fans locally.

And they'd probably draw better on TV.
by Albino Tornado on Nov 27, 2011 10:18 AM EST up reply actions
I am not expecting it
but I think there’s a Real Good Chance K-State ends up in the Sugar if OSU wins Bedlam. We filled half the Fiesta Bowl twice, we can fill half the Superdome.
(Assuming, of course, we don’t Okie Lite against Iowa State.)

I think the BCS standings only go to like 25
how do they determine the highest rated?
It hit me earlier that this season is one in which we'd be better off with no BCS at all.
LSU would go to the Sugar Bowl with a win over Georgia. The Sugar Bowl, with no restrictions on who to invite, would probably do something like inviting Houston; a team close by, guaranteeing a decent visiting team turnout, and with the cachet of a matchup of unbeaten teams. LSU would, of course, truck Houston, and since LSU is QUITE CLEARLY the #1 team in the nation, they’d be the undisputed champions.
Instead, we’re going to have this abortion of a nightmare in which LSU and Alabama play again, and LSU, who in any pre-BCS year would be a shoo-in for the undisputed championship, risks not winning anything at all as a result.

I wonder how far one-loss LSU would fall after losing to one-loss Alabama
It would be LOLsome if some voters figured “Eh, they split the difference, but I think LSU is still the best team” and vote LSU #1 in the AP (especially if LSU barely loses).

Oh, I think that's almost a certainty.

not allowed to happen
coaches must vote for the BCS winnar
In the AP poll?
I understand that the winner of the BCS game has to be the BCS championship (durr), but I would think AP has totally jettisoned itself from any BCS control

The coaches don't vote in the AP poll, is the thing.

LSU will get some 1/2 votes
by some reporter who thinks he is smarter than he is.
LSU is going to beat Bama again anyway.
With no restrictions
the sugar would have invited Bama or for trolling’s sake, ND
No.
The rationale for inviting Houston, proximity and 13-0 aside, is that the Sugar would be expecting LSU to truck them. Remember, we’re going back in time to before the BCS (or even the Bowl Alliance), and in that environment the Sugar, tied to the SEC, would want to complete the crowning of the undefeated undisputed champion. Inviting Alabama would actually risk splitting the title, pre-BCS.

You know who else? Sparty.
Wisconsin is exactly who they did NOT want to face in the inaugural B1G championship. UW will hunt Sparty down. UW will not stop until Sparty is found. UW will not know pain and will not know fear. They will taste Sparty flesh.

I have been lusting for this rematch from the moment the officials called it a TD.
I’d bet UW on a 23.5 point line. There’s no way Sparty plays another absolutely perfect game.
