The uncalled holding on our DL is maddening.they need to assume our dline is getting held ... because they are
It’s really inexplicable. Watching games all day I see holding being called left and right every Saturday except when our defense is on the field. We’re not exactly playing patty cake out there anymore either like in the Dorito days.The uncalled holding on our DL is maddening.
It's starting to look like the Ohio Miami win might turn out to be a really solid W. They've looked really good in every game since and might end up as one of the better G5 teams by year end.
transitive doesn't predict well but it's good context to how teams are performing.. very interested to see if we can beat GT as soundly as Ole Miss didOklahoma just had a slugfest with Cincinnati… who lost to Miami (OH) at home.
Not trying to go all in on the transitive property of wins and losses… but that win was more impressive than most give it credit for.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the real Miami is playing some of the best football in the country right now.

and most of the G5's ranked ahead of Miami (OH) haven't played a Miami (FL) level opponent yet, so they'll probably rise to the top as the season progressesHe does a G5 one too, it's below the P5 chart in the tweet.
Ohio's Miami is pretty high on the chart, basically same exact EPA as SMU. Maybe the 10th best G5 team right now?
No doubt, every metric will tell you The U has been excellent pretty much across the board thus far.
As far as the OU stuff, it's a cumulative chart, and they absolutely dragged Arkansas St and Tulsa. It's probably not really fair to call the Cincy game a "slugfest" either, they did dominate them in what these metrics look for. Remember, this model doesn't care who won or lost the game. It's EPA/play, which is a measurement of basically how effective you are every play vs your opponent. So OU has the 15th best offense in YPP, and the 12th best defense in the same metric. That's why they are where they are on the chart.
I pray he wants to win a NC as an OC. He has to love the thought of having Mario/Mirabal Oline to work with for foreseeable future. He should be a sniper on the trailReally hope we can hold onto Dawson
We've had occasional breakdowns in coverage but the pass defense has been solid. They cleaned up quite a bit after an underwhelming first half against Temple. A lot of the numbers are because teams have had to throw it a ton against us.I’m not as concerned about our pass defense as some others. The pass defense efficiency is strong; 55% passers with a **** ton of attempts is a hard recipe to succeed against an offense that averages 8 per clip. Our best defense will be our offense. This is what happened to A&M: they just couldn’t move the ball fast enough to hang with our scoring output. If we stay in the realm, we will win. Our offense is our best defense.

Still sick with GT for ruining this parlay last weekendWe better.
GT gave up 39 points and 7.29 a play to Louisville.
Then they gave up 48 and 9.82 (!!) a play to Ole Miss.
Much better showing last week, winning at Wake and only giving up 16 points on 4.71 yards per play, but Louisville and especially Ole Miss beat the brakes off their defense. Ole Miss ran for 299 on them and threw for 251. I expect to see the same next weekend. 500 yards of offense should be the expectation against these garbage defenses (GT, UVA, Louisville, Boston College, **** even NC State is trash defensively this year).
