Week 8 Games Discussion

Teams we have played:

Toledo 27 Buffalo 34 - Half
Notre Dame 30 UNLV 7 - Half
Wisconsin 21 Purdue 0 - 2nd Quarter
Rutgers 24 Indiana 17 - Final
Arkansas State v Louisiana - 5:00pm

Teams we have yet to play:

Maryland 7 Northwestern 10 - 2nd Quarter
Penn State v Minnesota - 7:30pm

With some more favorable results perhaps our SOS will increase a tad. Not that it matters lol.

I've said this before and I'll continue saying it, at what point are we going to hold QB's responsible for their own safety?

In this Okie Lite - Texas game, the Pokes QB goes into his slide so late that the DB is already in the process of lowering his shoulder to hit him.

By continuing to penalize the defense, you're encouraging QBs to forgo truly protecting themselves by sliding early and instead trying to invite the cheap penalty yards.

By the letter of law it was targeting and should have stayed targeting. But yeah the defender was in a no win there.

I'm a spirit of the law kind of guy.

We need to stop going, "aww shucks, defender is in a no win spot... Thoughts and prayers" and be more hardlined.

It's bullshit and these QBs know it, which is why they're sliding so late.

Kenny pickets fake slide is the textbook example. I know it was banned, but the spirit of abuse is still there.
