Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

and so goes the story of "dead ringer" ... from Victorian "safety coffins."
As the legend goes, people terrified of being accidentally buried alive were buried with a string tied to their wrist that led to a bell on the surface; if they woke up, they would ring the bell and be dug up

Oh there's criteria. It was mostly made up after the fact once they started losing games. Sometimes it's "it was only a student section white out"....sometimes it's "it wasn't a night game white out". The school started officially announcing which game it was after a few years to help with the con.

USC was an official white out, by the way. I was just making fun of their claim every time they lose one that it wasn't a REAL one.
Can confirm, just from watching their stupid message boards.

According to the Wiki page, 2007 vs. Ohio State was not a white out. They used Notre Dame as their white out. But here's a screenshot of the crowd from what I found on Youtube:

That sure seems like a white out.

They say 2009 vs. Ohio State wasn't a white out.

No?

There's probably more examples but I don't think it matters.

JJ needs more than 4 touches.
He will get it. I thought they handled him perfectly last game. 2 easy TDs and no big hits on him.

I know he's not human, but all those times he has to jump 10ft high in the air to make a catch, and he get undercut and crashes down on his side to make a catch ... that shit hurts when you land. Those add up over a 17 game season. They avoided any 50-50 balls where that was a possibility and still got him 2 tds and a very juicy per catch ave. Couldn't have gone better.

If there is no rail, it's a white out fail ...

Trying to run to set up the pass is how Day teams end up in rock fights, imo.
This. 1000x this. But, if they can get up doing that and then do the long late ground and pound game that they've started getting low key good at (scUM last year, Iowa and Maryland this year), I'm good with it given the havoc risk of IU's pass rush, with the caveat that if they do get in position to "shut it down" that way, then they need to commit to it by using nearly the whole play clock on every snap and not randomly going for low percentage kill shots on downs like 2nd and 3.
