Opponent-adjusted rushing metrics through Week 8!
Louisville is in a league of its own in highlight yards. UCLA combines strong line play with explosive runs.
Which ground game stands out to you? 👀
i do wish college football had the english soccer song culture because camp randall stadium going off on “lincoln riley, lincoln riley, lincoln riley pack your shit! lincoln riley pack your shit!” would be incredible
If he wants to leave, you say goodbye.
If the cost of moving on is $27 million, you suck it up and let him keep trying to figure it out.
It's not a sunk cost when the choice is your roster or a new coach.
What do you do about Shane Beamer? I'm asking because I don't know. Today's win illustrates both the promise and the problem with his program, and I am unsure how you reconcile the two
Not sure what's funnier/sadder, the prospect that Shane's agent pitched him for the list in order to increase his odds of an extension, or the prospect that South Carolina is dumb enough to fall for it
I am more willing than most to let Shane keep trying to make this work (opinion subject to change!) but if he wants to walk away for free then by all means let him
It seems unfair that the New York Knicks have to give their championship trophy to the Sixers the same night they finally received it but those are the rules
Clemson had approximately zero explosive plays today against Charleston Southern and I won't pretend I watched a down but that's gotta be concerning for them going forward
I'm gonna be infuriatingly amused if Shane does 2024 again where the early losses I wrote off as games that wouldn't matter on our march to 6-6 end up causing us to miss the CFP
I really wish I'd called my shot that this Florida team seemed gettable because I didn't think they could hammer our fatal weakness (explosive pass defense)
during the Asheville storm a couple of years ago my wife kept worrying about my friends and I kept assuring her it wouldn't be a problem right up to the part where the words "potable water" started getting used with alarming frequency
I’ve had some people ask “why won’t they cancel the game” and I’m not even going to entertain the football psychosis of it all and just say:
The problem with hurricanes is that you can be kinda casual about them, until an unspecified and unpredictable point where you absolutely can’t

And still should've won despite a -2 turnover margin.
He's probably not wrong they're better than they've looked but at some point you're just losing too many games for it to matter
Well, I wish the Shane Beamer era could've turned out better but even South Carolina can only take so many embarrassing conference losses and players throwing punches
