    What caught my eye in the NWMS athletics page bio for Harris, it says he played in only four games as a Freshman.

    The NWMS page isn't big on internal consistency. The season summary has him at 4 games played in 2022, but elsewhere it shows him with carries in nine 2022 games, so I think that was likely a full season rather than a redshirt.

  2. The excuse making about why UW's and Oregon's performances were so completely opposite against OSU in consecutive weeks are head spinning, but the favorite seems to be that the weather was poor last week in Corvallis.

     

    They have a point, though. How can anyone expect a team from Seattle to know how to play when it's raining?

    Holy Toledo!  What amazing stats!

     

    A ton of red during the Cristobal years, and a lot of green the past two years under Lanning.  Now I recognize that you are the one assigning colors, but in my world--rushing for 200 yards a game is pretty darn good.  Ditto for scoring over 40 points per game, because not many teams can do that.

     

    Fun to see--thanks.

     

    Especially this week, we can all be thankful Miami fans are now seeing red.

  4. Basically, SMU seems interested in a Pac invitation but is in wait-and-see mode until the media rights deal is complete. And whether or not it joins the Pac, SMU is well positioned to compete for CFP births due to the playoffs' new expanded format.

     

    From the article:

    Quote

    Fans would be more excited to see the Mustangs compete against the likes of Oregon, Washington, Utah and Arizona State than their current AAC mates, even if the Pac-12 is an awkward geographic fit. The travel challenges it would bring, particularly to non-football sports, aren’t insignificant.

     

    But if conference realignment dominoes don’t fall in SMU’s favor, there’s still a path to elevated football relevance. The 12-team Playoff opens up an opportunity for a conference champion outside the power conferences because the six highest-ranked champions will qualify each year.

    He signed it, but has not transmitted it to Oregon by fax yet.  Thus he could sign another school's LOI, send it in and it counts.  First one received by the school..

    Anyone else having flashbacks to the Alex Collins saga from a few years back?

    Many parents want their children to go to a certain school, usually one close to home. So in that regard, Alex Collins' mother isn't...

     

  6. Over the past two weeks, Miami faced Virginia and FSU teams that entered their Miami matchups with a combined record of 8-7. In each game, Miami registered more punting yards than total offense (308 to 273 vs UVA and 282 to 188 vs FSU). Excluding OT (where points are unearned and punts are impossible), Miami also had more punts than points in each game (8 to 6 and 6 to 3).

     

    Cristoballin'!!!

    I was thinking about our WR room. We added Lowe but at this juncture no one else. By getting both Terrell and Florence I wonder if the plan is to use Tucker as a WR. He is listed as an athlete and a while ago was being discussed as a possible WR instead of CB.

    Bryan Addison was recruited and played a season as a WR, so he could be another possibility.

    Noah may have the ability, but with Lanning's background,  I bet Noah never touches the rock, offensively. 

    Yep, although it would be fun to see him wreck LBs as a RB after doing the opposite so many times.
