Not only the clock issue, but on each of WMU's last two drives there were missed penalties on Michigan that would have extended those drives (including a blatant facemask no call where the helmet was turned halfway around). Arguably, there shouldn't have even been time for Michigan to try and score if the blatant penalties were called. Michigan did not deserve to win last night. WMU defense is legit (at least against whatever OL and QB Michigan has this year - have to judge after next weekend), but the WMU office was pretty ineffective for most of the game. The 13 minute (yes, 13 minutes) drive from third Q into fourth Q for WMU wore down Michigan defense pretty good.

UMass starts the year 136th out of 136 (overall, and offensive and defensive with only special teams higher than 136th). It has always seemed more reactive than prospective to me. I get it's first game of new season, but maybe they should just wait until a few games have been played. All this to say . . . Texas is ranked too low!! 🤩

Agree, and I have a feeling the other Big 12 schools would like to do the same if they can. Not sure they can, but I don't think they're scared.

48-21 horns win!

Healthy CJ in 2024 and I think we beat Ohio state. Accurate kicker in the SEC championship, I think we beat Georgia. Neither was on Sark the way Franklin’s decision-making in games seemed to put some losses more on him.

If SEC and ACC and Monster Energy all pass similar rules to B1G, then the next stop may be antitrust violation lawsuits/injunctions against the leagues for colluding against this group of athletes. Just seems like a not-that-unlikely next step.

Just the fact that this starts with "former New Orleans Saints . . ." says it all.

you're right. I did lose brain cells.

I'm the cheesiest, coach!

with all the "experts" on this thread, if they had just let everyone here examine him last night we would have figured all this out before this morning. Wasted talent I say.

Real question: How does OTF let CJ on a plane when things like this could happen???

I thought his reasoning was fine. He's right, it's a brutal schedule and a lot has to go right just to survive that schedule, particularly the long stretch of games without a bye. For a number of teams, he said essentially the same thing "they could win it all . . ." but, I also agree - who cares. This ranking, whether 1 or 7 or unranked, isn't going to help us win any actual games and doesn't matter. If we're undefeated when we get to the first CFP ranking, this takes care of itself.

Wait, I refuse to believe Kiffin is involved in a broken promise.

100% - I totally did too!

You expect any of us to work from now UNTIL the news drops (if ever)? We may all be unemployed soon!!
