CFB conference championship games

In the dead time after Texas, I turned on the MAC championship and the refs blew a huge call. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway as a miracle onside kick was still needed but damn they used a lazy play stands call on an interception in the end zone that was a TD. The CB never had the ball fully and there’s a TV angle where you can see the WR with his arms around the ball and you can see both of the CBs hands not on the ball. I can’t comprehend how you can call it an interception when the ball is bobbling as the CB goes to the ground and it’s clear that he didn’t have full possession. I understand a runner getting a TD as soon as the ball crosses the plane but you still have to actually catch a ball.

Just for fun, took a picture. The CB (in white with the whit arm tape and almost bluish gloves) never had the ball fully and fell backwards and you can see the WR has the ball while also seeing the CBs hands not on the ball. Definitely a we want to go home call. Luckily, a 99% chance that it didn’t matter with a 9 point lead and 22 seconds left but an onside recovery and a FG wins the game.

Texas gonna be rooting hard for UGA right now.

The committee is gonna be rooting hard for Louisville over FSU. If FSU wins I don't know how you leave out a top 4 undefeated P5 team, but in reality you know that FSU's chances died with Jordan Travis' knee.

Nah, Texas is rooting for Bama.  They beat them in their own house by double digits.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
