Yes?
Then why are you watching it?

We belong this year in my opinion.

I am still concerned about our offensive gameplans and execution. I am also worried about some of the substitution patterns and player minutes.

Do others feel like this or am I just seeing different than most?

Had one catch this season?Has he been injured for Miami or is he just slow out of the gate?

1. Home field advantage is paramount in College Football

In each of the 1st round games, we saw tremendous atmospheres that produced momentum early for the hosting teams. Even w/ Vol fans doing their best to stain Columbus an horrible shade of Orange.

2. Chips lead to Ships

A program feeling collectively disrespected is so powerful! Ohio State after the Michigan debacle & the crap they caught is an example. Same for Texas after the 2nd Georgia loss. Notre Dame & Penn State were just insulted at who their opponents were.

Georgia, well they wake up feeling disrespected. So we got that going for us!

3. A controlled burn

All the teams that won have leaders at QB that have some emotional fire about them. Not out of control or hotheads/jerks, just guys with some fire to them! All the greats have had it: Brady, Elway, Favre, Manning, Montana. Skill yes, but guts/grit to match.

This is one are where Gunner is a 1000% improvement over Beck!



Now apply these 3 observations to the remaining 8 teams. No home field, so I guess it’s who buys tickets at these regional sites. With that one cancelled out, in addition to personnel & scheme, it is who has the disrespect card to play and who has emotional leaders at QB?

The teams that definitely have both: Ohio State, Penn State, Georgia, Texas & Notre Dame.

Let the real games begin!

Fun conversation with Coach Donnan prior to starting the Watch Along last week about some Marshall memories. I mentioned how insane it is to think back to what Chad Pennington did at Marshall. Started as a freshman for Coach and played in 1-AA national championship. Then Coach comes here and Bobby Pruitt brought Eric Kresser to Marshall with him from Florida.

Pennington redshirts and sits the year to let Kresser play! Herd went 15-0 and won 1-AA championship with Randy Moss. No way that happens in today’s landscape.

Anyway, here’s the what if……what if Pennington would’ve transferred to Georgia and been the starter here in 1997?

He wasn’t on the bench 👀. @Anthony Dasher
