Official Fall PractiSe #16 - Tuesday August 23

This is why I think the folks clamoring for the Big 10 are underestimating the impact of the weather for road games late in the season. A change like that will take some time to get acclimated to, if ever.
I grew up in Michigan. The weather sucks from Nov-mid-April. I went to a lot of November and December Michigan games as a kid. My reaction was to attend the University. of Miami.
People don’t realize just how bad the weather is in the Midwest. Not just cold but gray, gray and gray skies every day. There is no getting used to terrible weather. I really don’t want UM to join the Big 10 for this reason alone.
 
Unreal throw. The distance and accuracy are just sick. His accuracy is what cost him a pro career, he was just too inaccurate.
He also had one I think it was to Coley vs USF

I will have to go back and confirm but he dropped it in the back of the end zone. It was an unreal friggin throw

He did make some good dough being on practice squads for a few years. I think he should have been backup to Luck in Indy in 2016.
 
Sat in the upperdeck of that game. Dude behind us reacted to those two drops just yelling his head off. "See, these guys are a bunch of scabs, scabs, just scabs." Non-stop for like a minute. Turned around and asked the guy "you gonna do this **** all game?" Although **** drunk, he politely said "nah, man, just a few more plays." I think he realized how ****** we were and just felt pity for the program. What a terrible time. Too many stories like this over our miserable 15+ years.
At Maryland in 2006. Freeman throws 2 perfect deep balls, both dropped. Game over. I was at the ND game as well.

Don’t think I have ever seen reports like this regarding a position group, ever lol.

Remember the opener at Boston College back in 2012? I swear the WRs dropped 5+ in the first half alone but then I don’t remember it being an issue really the rest of the year. Anyway, definitely is concerning if it’s as bad as some are making it seem. I guess we will see soon enough.
It might have reached the point where now it is looked for and noticed purposely.
 
Wonder what they do with Restrepo on 2 TE sets (which I assume we will be running a lot of). Can't imagine they want to take him off the field so that would push him from the slot to the outside. Not sure he has the pure height/speed combo you want at that position but I don't see why he cant be effective.

That probably puts your 11 best on the field and partly addresses the weakness on the outside. He should still be able to route some people up from outside the hash
I know it’s crazy, but he was the only guy to catch a TD against Bama and it wasn’t an easy one.

triple wr/te formation?
 
The drop by dorsett against ND first qtr comes to mind
That altered the complexion of that game. They probably still would have beaten us, but we would've had a chance had Dorsett caught it and jogged into the endzone. Woulda coulda shoulda...
