they have a uber freshman qb but if you can hold up on run defense (like usc did lol), they are pedestrian. Their defense is solid but not otherwordly.

I understand the utility of breaking trainings into 5 minute long snips for utility purposes but its still startling to see you have 3 pages of trainings assigned.

Gameday to start the day and the lead game on SC at night. Two undefeated teams and Heisman frontrunners + the game was great.

But IU vs. Oregon struck out in terms of ratings.

I wrote about why that is and how it explains how CFB fans watch the sport.

Indiana-Oregon's disappointing ratings explains everything about college football's TV landscape

Indiana's upset of Oregon got fewer viewers than three SEC games this past weekend, but that shouldn't be much of a surprise.

A more serious taek: the acronym stats are useful for finding outliers but not for standard analysis.

also if you make a stat your entire personality/gimmick, you're likely a very tedious person
