Did You Notice Last Weekend?

College [11/25]

• To illustrate that Les Miles is not the only coach to make mistakes, we turn to Harvard @ Yale. The Eli led 10-7 with just 2:25 left when it ran a fake punt from its 26. The ruse worked for 14 yards. The only problem was that it was fourth-and-22. The Crimson took over at the Yale 40 and scored the winning TD in only three plays. Yale's rookie coach (and first African-American head coach), Tom Williams, said: "The whole idea was to keep our foot on the pedal and not play scared. If anyone is looking for somebody to blame, blame this guy right here." This occurred after the furor in New England had just died down following the Patriots' Bill Belichick's fourth-and-two call against Indy the week before.
• Non-Miles Coaching Blunder #2: This one comes from California's 34-28 victory over Stanford. Trailing 31-28, the Cardinal faced a 4th-and-8 from its own 23 with 3:40 left. Stanford had all three timeouts left at the time. So the Cardinal could've punted and gotten the ball back with plenty of time remaining for a game-tying drive. But Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, the media darling after consecutive wins over Oregon and USC, elected to go for it. An incompletion gave Cal possession. A 12-yd run produced a first down on the 11. After each of the next three running plays, Stanford used a timeout. Of course, this sequence could have occurred in Cal territory if Harbaugh had punted. Instead, the Bears kicked a FG with 2:46. After the kickoff was returned to the Cardinal 42, QB Andrew Luck ran and passed his team to a first down on the 13 with over a minute left to play. If the score had still been 31-28, Stanford could have kicked a tying FG. However, needing a TD, Luck threw an INT that allowed Cal to run out the clock.
• 31-13 is a relatively rare final score. Yet two games ended with that count: Syracuse over Rutgers and North Carolina over Boston College.
  • Greg Paulus, Syracuse's QB, celebrated his second Senior Day (the other being at Cameron Indoor Stadium as a member of the Duke basketball team last year) with the best game of his one-year college football career. He went 13/16 for 142, a TD, and no INT. Rutgers' return to the AP poll (at #25) lasted only one week as the Orange outgained the Knights 259-82 in the first half to build a 24-10 lead.
  • In Boston, UNC ended BC's ACC title hopes by forcing six turnovers with a fumble and an INT return accounting for two of the three TDs the Tarheels scored in a 2:19 flurry in Q1 to seize a commanding 21-0 lead.
• One of this year's greatest coaching jobs, if not the very best, is being done by Al Golden (no relation) of Temple. Trailing 10-9 to Kent State at halftime with their sensational freshman RB, Bernard Pierce, lost to a shoulder injury, the Owls scored 38 straight to win 47-13 and run their record to 9-2. That's their best mark since 10-2 in 1979 when the school made its last bowl appearance. Their last winning season prior to 2009 was 1990. The two losses this season were in the first two games to Villanova and Penn State. After giving the ball to Pierce only 13 times in those two games, Golden ran him at least 19 times in eight of the next nine games, including an incredible 40 carries against Toledo.
• Colt McCoy enjoyed his Senior Day in Austin by setting an NCAA record for most victories started by a QB, surpassing the 42 of Georgia's David Greene. Colt has lost only seven times. The 51-20 pounding gave Kansas its sixth straight loss to add to Coach Mark Mangino's mounting problems (pun intended). University officials are investigating accusations of emotional and verbal abuse of players, fueling speculation he may be fired.
• Iowa and Minnesota combined for more punts (17) than points in the Hawkeyes' 12-0 ugly win. The two offenses converted only 5 of 33 third downs. The Iowa D pitched its second straight shutout over the Gophers. Kirk Ferentz has now presided over four double-digit win seasons, the most by any coach in school history.
• "I'm glad I'm on this side," said Terelle Pryor after leading Ohio State to its sixth straight victory over Michigan, a school that Pryor strongly considered before committing to the Buckeyes. (I'll bet that Terelle's passing mechanics would be a lot better if he had been coached by Rich Rodriguez these last two seasons.) The Wolverines completed a season in which their only victory after going 4-0 in September was over Delaware State. Despite calls for his firing, Rodriguez's job appears safe for another year.
• Jeremiah Masoli passed for two TDs and ran for one on Oregon's last three possessions in the Ducks' double OT win at Arizona. The first of the three scores tied the game with only 0:06 left in Q4 as the home team's students had come out of the stands ready to rush the field. The Wildcats' first home loss this season ended their dreams of a first ever appearance in the Rose Bowl.
• Leading 14-7 in the third period at Michigan State, Penn State broke open the tight game with two TDs in 57 seconds. After Daryll Clark hit Joe Suhey for a 30 yd score to make it 21-7, Nick Sukay intercepted Kirk Cousins' pass on the second play after the kickoff. On the next snap, Clark connected Graham Zug for a 32-yd score. The final was 42-14.
• Kentucky recorded its first win in Athens in 32 years to turn up the heat on Mark Richt's seat. Georgia outained the Wildcats 487-260 but committed four second half turnovers to blow a 27-13 Q3 lead. Joe Cox has proven that being a fifth-year senior doesn't guarantee a productive season. His inconsistency (21 TD passes, 14 INT) has driven Bulldog fans crazy.
• Tennessee became bowl eligible by defeating Vanderbilt 31-16. A turning point in the contest occurred near the end of the first half. Trailing 17-10, Commodore Coach Bobby Johnson decided to go for it on fourth-and-two on the Vol 38. After the pass was incomplete, UT took over with only 0:35 left and drove for a TD on four straight completions by QB Jonathan Crompton for 12 (plus a roughing the passer penalty), 13, 6, and 16 to take a 24-10 lead into the locker room. Crompton nearly broke Casey Clausen's school record of 143 consecutive passes without an INT. But a Q3 pick ended Jonathan's streak at 142.
• Ryan Mallett was already the only Arkansas player to throw five TD passes in a game. But against Mississippi State, he did it for the third time in his first season under center for the Razorbacks. (In today's football, should we change "under center" to "five yards behind center"?) He helped dash the Bulldogs' bowl hopes by completing 18-34 for 313. He did throw two picks. Proving that sometimes you can win without running the ball, Bobby Petrino's crew was outrushed 327-83 as Anthony Dixon amassed 176, including a 70-yd TD gallop.
• Louisiana Tech lost another heartbreaker, 30-28, when Fresno State kicked a FG on the last play. The 3-8 Bulldogs have now lost two games by two points and another by only one. They also lost to Boise State by just 10 and LSU by 8.
• Nevada is on a tear. After laying an egg in the opener in South Bend (35-0), then dropping two more (Colorado State and Missouri), the Wolf Pack have won eight in a row. In those games, the offense of highly-respected Coach Chris Ault (who invented the Pistol formation) has put up 52 or more five times – shades of Oklahoma 2008. The Wolf Pack are the first team in NCAA history to have three 1000-yd rushers. The WAC schedule makers must have known something when they pitted Nevada against Boise State this Friday night.

My Live Games This Past Weekend
Ohio State @ Michigan

Pregame; Temperature in 40s, damp; Buckeye band does their famous script Ohio

Left: First half action; Right: 2nd half kickoff after sun came out

• This was my second game at Michigan Stadium (other was Central Michigan in 2006) and my first time watching Ohio State live.
• Michigan and Ohio State have played many great games. This was not one of them. But it was interesting nevertheless.
• The Wolverines played hard and had a good chance of pulling the upset. But five turnovers, including two INTs inside the opponents' ten and a fumble in their own EZ, killed that possibility. The UM D, which had been roundly criticized - and rightly so - played their best game of the year, although they were helped by the pedestrian O that Jim Tressel runs, especially when he gets a lead. However, the Wolverines paid the price for having to start a freshman QB.
• The pregame illustrated some quaint Big Ten customs unheard of in the SEC.
  • The Buckeye band took the field before the game and did their famous "Script Ohio."
  • Each band played the other team's fight song on the field before the game. Some say neither band plays the other's song with perfect accuracy.
  • The Ohio State band director led the Michigan band in the Star Spangled Banner.
    

Browns @ Lions

Two views of Ford Field; notice the large number of empty seats (attendance 43,000).

• This was my first NFL game outside the state of Louisiana and first not involving the Saints.
• One of my earliest memories of the NFL is watching the Lions play the Browns on TV in the championship game in 1952, 1953, 1954, and 1957.
• The 2009 Detroit and Cleveland squads were both 1-8, but they produced the most exciting game of the day in the NFL. It was decided on a TD scored on an extra play after time had run out. There were also four 40+ yd plays.
• I was impressed with the spirit and passion of the Lions fans despite the bad teams they have endured since Barry Sanders retired. There were also a goodly number of Browns fans there (many of whom probably took in the same college-pro doubleheader that I did), and they cheered loudly for their boys too.
• Both young QBs were impressive: Matt Stafford for the Lions and Brady Quinn for Cleveland. Stafford showed courage in returning to the field for the final play after being clocked and injuring his left shoulder on the Hail Mary heave to the EZ that resulted in a pass inteference call. Some day Lions fans may look back on this game as a turning point for their franchise.

My pictures from earlier games

LSU-Ole Miss Comments [11/23]

• I won't focus on the final second as much as others have because the biggest mistake occurred before the fourth down pass when time out was not called promptly. That mistake set up the situation where LSU completed a pass to the six-yard line but had only one second to run a play. Whatever mismanagement occurred at that point would have been obviated if the early mistake hadn't been made. So let's review those crucial last seconds.
• We'll review the basic facts and then ask some questions about what happened. Let's follow the play-by-play after Jefferson's 26-yd pass to LaFell to give first and 10 at the Ole Miss 32.
  • JJ throws an incomplete pass on first down. The good outcome is that the clock stops.
  • Trying to pass again, Jefferson is sacked for a nine-yard loss to the 41. LSU calls its second TO of the half with 0:32 remaining. What would have been a 49-yd FG to win the game just became a 58-yarder.
  • Despite the fact that starting RB Keiland Williams has left the game with an injury, LSU calls a screen pass to Stevan Ridley that is poorly thrown and even more poorly blocked. After the loss of 7 to the Ole Miss 48, LSU is out of FG range.
  • 0:26 remains when the play ends. Instead of calling timeout immediately, LSU allows the clock to run down to 0:09 before using its final timeout.
  • It is now fourth and 26. Perhaps Drew Brees could complete a 27-yd pass to a receiver who steps out of bounds as soon as he receives it to make the first down (against a D that knows what you need to do) and allow time for the FG attempt, but hardly any college QB is capable of doing so. If you complete the first down pass inbounds, the clock will stop for the first down but you may not have enough time to run on the FG team depending on how quickly the referee marks the ball ready for play. So the most realistic chance LSU has of winning the game might be to throw a Hail Mary to the end zone.
  • Jefferson throws a pass without enough loft on it. So Toliver catches it on the 6 and falls down in-bounds. The clock stops on the first down with one second showing. (More on the time later.)
  • Since the FG team is either not ready or in any case not ordered onto the field, the LSU O hurries down and tries to snap the ball as soon as the referee marks the ball ready for play. Looking thoroughly confused, JJ grounds the ball, but the official play-by-play does not record the play because the back judge was already running forward waving his arms to indicate that time had expired before the ball was snapped.
  • I watched a replay of the final seconds and counted 25 seconds from the time the official stopped the clock following Toliver's catch and the referee marking the ball ready for play. That seems like an inordinately long time, but the officials had to wait for the Ole Miss D to sprint 40 yards from the previous line of scrimmage.
• Let's forget about the last second for the moment and return to an earlier point where a sequence of poor decisions caused LSU's chance to steal a victory to be squandered. Here are some questions more or less in chronological order.
  • Why pass on first down and ten from the 32? You didn't need that much more yardage to improve your FG chances. Why not run the ball at least once? And who was calling the plays? Presumably it was O coordinator Gary Crowton. How much input and/or veto power did Miles have with regard to the plays that were called? He has indicated that he was at least in on the discussion, although he seems to imply that Crowton made the final calls.
  • After the sack on second down, 10-15 yards needed to be gained on third down to get back into comfortable FG range. So with a timeout to think about the best course of action, why throw a bubble pass to a third-string RB instead of getting the ball to your best playmakers - LaFell or Toliver? Such a pass on fourth down was subsequently successful. If it had been done on third down, we'd probably be celebrating one of the great comebacks in LSU history. (Would that the pass to Ridley had fallen incomplete. The clock would have stopped and LSU wouldn't have had to use its last timeout unless Miles wanted to call it to gain more time to plan the do-or-die fourth down play.) Miles has indicated (see below) that the play was sent in by Crowton. I agree with the writer on this link that he is the source of some of LSU's problems in this game and others, especially in terms of how he has developed - or not developed - JJ.
  • Now we come to perhaps the most pivotal question of all. Why were 17 precious seconds wasted before timeout was called at 0:09? From the AP recap of the game:

    Miles said he suggested to assistant coaches that they call a run play at that point [third down], but allowed a pass play to be signaled in. Jefferson completed a 7-yard pass [should be -7 yards] to Stevan Ridley with 26 seconds left and Miles said he thought he heard timeout being called. But the referees never got the message and 17 seconds ticked off the clock before coaches realized what was happening, leaving LSU with fourth and 26 at the Ole Miss 48 with 9 seconds left.

  • This raises the related question: Who did Miles hear calling timeout? Isn't the head coach the one to call any timeout in the game but particularly in the last minute? Even if a few seconds elapsed before the timeout was taken, there still would have been about 20 seconds left. In that case, many more options would have opened up for the fourth-and-26 call. You don't need a Hail Mary. You could throw the ball to one of the tall receivers (LaFell, Toliver, or Randall) beyond the first down marker. You don't have to go out of bounds. If the pass is incomplete, game over. If the pass is complete, the clock stops for the first down with about 12-13 seconds left and you have time to kick the FG.
  • Another related question: Why didn't anyone on the sidelines point out to the head coach that the clock was still running after the third down play? As mentioned above, even if the timeout is not taken until 15 seconds remain, that extra six seconds still leaves time to get the first down and rush the FG unit on.
  • Still another related question: Why didn't the QB or any of the offensive players (including seniors LaFell and Ciron Black) call timeout when they realized the clock was still running after the third down play? The usual rule that only the coach calls a timeout goes out the window in an emergency situation. Or another question on the same point: Why wasn't Jefferson instructed during the sideline conference before the third down play to call timeout immediately after the play (unless the pass was incomplete)?
  • Moving to the point where timeout was finally called, what was discussed with JJ on the sidelines? Was he told to throw a Hail Mary into the end zone? Was the possibility of completing a pass for the first down without scoring discussed in order to plan for exactly what ended up happening - namely, the need to rush the FG team onto the field? Or was the possibility of completing the pass short of the goal line dismissed because it was figured there wouldn't be enough time to run another play (which, of course, wouldn't have been the case had time out been called promptly in the first place)?
  • What was the special teams coach doing during the timeout? Was he rehearsing his FG unit for the opportunity they have presumably been practicing for since the season began?
  • When the pass was completed with one second left, did any coach on the sidelines call for the FG unit to get on the field? Often, you see the special team start to head out on their own because this is their chance to excel. If they do so, it often triggers the decision from the head coach to let them give it a try.
  • And to wrap up this whole line of questioning, if it takes 14 seconds for the FG unit to get on the field, line up, and kick, why weren't they sent out during the 25 seconds that elapsed from Toliver's catch to the resumption of play? Maybe they get lined up but are still unable to snap the ball in time since there is perhaps less than a second left (since the stadium clock didn't show tenths of a second). But if you don't give them a chance to try, you concede the game.
  • Finally, did anyone on the sidelines think about the following way that LSU could have bought extra time before the ball was marked ready for play? Each coach has a red flag in his pocket. Watching the replays of the Toliver catch, it appears that he hit the ground with 0:02 left. Les could have challenged the time remaining. Win or lose the challenge, this would have given time for the FG team to get in position. (I can't fault him for not thinking of that in the excitement. It didn't occur to me until hours after the game. But he could include that in his contingency plans for future games.)
• As I get caught up on reading the local newspapers and websites, I may learn the answers to some of the above questions. But I'll be surprised if I found out anything that dissuades me from this conclusion.

  Les Miles and his coaching staff were poorly prepared for the sequence of events that occurred last Saturday. Just as the players must be prepared for the various exigencies they may face in the game, so does the staff. Clear lines of responsibility must be in place for forseeing the possibiliities and preparing the strategies needed to handle the possibilities.

• The NCAA has a 20-hour limit for weekly practices. But that's for the players (who also are given "voluntary" tasks to do on their own beyond those 20 hours such as weight-lifting and passing/kicking practice). However, there's no 20-hour limit on the coaching staff. They can have their own "skull sessions" to go over all the possibilities that may arise so they won't be caught napping on game day. So a final question: Les, do you work your staff hard enough?
• The game of "what if?", of course, is played by the losers. If LSU had pulled it out, Ole Miss fans would be blasting Houston Nutt and his staff for allowing 9 points in the last 1:17. They would call for the special teams coach to be fired since LSU scored on a blocked FG and recovered an onside kick. They would question the "prevent defense" used on LSU's last two possessions. But victory erases all complaints.
• We should also keep in mind that LSU was a four-point underdog in Oxford. So the odds makers didn't think that Miles had the clearly superior team. A spread that small means the teams are basically equal, but the home team gets the advantage. Las Vegas may have also considered the fact that LSU is without its first-string RB. A stronger case for Miles' head on a platter could have been made if the Tigers had not come back in the second half to defeat Louisiana Tech.
• I just spent the weekend in Michigan. An awful lot of Wolverine supporters would gladly take Les Miles over Rich Rodriguez. Les made a mistake that probably cost LSU the game (although making the FG was not guaranteed). He has taken the blame and, in effect, apologized to both the team and the fans. Chill out, folks, and move on. We have another big game coming up. An awful lot of schools (including Les's alma mater) would take 9-3 in a heartbeat.
• That's why it's ridiculous to call for a boycott of the Arkansas game as a protest against Miles. I will be there to support the team. They are the ones I feel sorry for. They need the fans to be the 12th man on Saturday so that the seniors can win their last game in Tiger Stadium.
• And while we're trying to see the bigger picture, it's good to point out that Nick Saban was not a perfect coach at LSU. (And isn't at Alabama as proved by the Louisiana-Monroe upset two years ago and last year's Sugar Bowl.) Remember these games?
  • UAB embarassed LSU 13-10 in Nick's first year in Baton Rouge when undisciplined QB Josh Booty threw an INT in the last two minutes to set up the winning FG. With LSU's record 2-2, critics were already saying that hiring Saban was a big mistake.
  • The Blue Grass Miracle in 2002 was necessary because favored LSU had played so poorly against Kentucky that day.
  • A week later, visiting Alabama put a 31-0 whipping on the Tigers. More than one observer thought that many Tigers quit in the second half.
  • The national championship team of 2003 played a lackluster game at home in losing to Ron Zook's Florida Gators 19-7.
  • In Saban's last game in Tigerland, Iowa won on the last play of the Capital One Bowl when a DB played zone instead of man-to-man.
• Having said all that, the bottom line is that the main goal of the head coach is to put his squad in the best position to win the game. Les Miles failed in that task last Saturday. The comeback after the FG that put the Rebels up by 8 started beautifully with a nifty TD drive and continued through the onsides kick and the pass to LaFell. But everything unravelled at that point. One bad decision led to another and the situation spiraled downward out of control. A failure of leadership occurred on the sidelines which caused confusion on the field. The last 30 seconds can't be replayed. Hopefully, Miles and Company will learn from what happened and not repeat those mistakes. If they don't, his hold on the team may slip away permanently.
• I differ from many of the commentators in that I don't wipe away all that Miles has done in 4 1/2 years because of bad management at the end of one game. The person who coached so brilliantly against Florida in 2007 doesn't become a dunce overnight. I still think he can successfully coach LSU to a high level of achievement. But he has one less mulligan now. Actually, on second thought, make that two fewer mulligans.

Golden College Rankings after Twelve Weeks

Complete Golden Rankings after Twelve Weeks

Alabama takes over top spot as Florida falls because three-win FIU now averaged into Gators' ranking while Tide's game with Chattanooga doesn't count. It doesn't really matter because, barring an upset in this week's rivalry games, SEC champion will rise to #1 on strength of beating an opponent with double-digit wins.
In Conference Rankings, Big East vaults over SEC because three teams were bye and another, UConn, defeated six-win Notre Dame.

About This Site
This site is devoted to sports in general and, especially during the fall and early winter, college football and – to a lesser extent – pro football. The unique feature of this site is the publication of the author's rankings of all Division IA college football teams and similar rankings for the NFL. I live in New Orleans and am a graduate of LSU and FSU. So I will present a Southern and particularly an SEC point of view but one that is reasonably objective. We will delve into the history of college and pro football and have a weekly quiz. We will also have similar features for baseball year-round and, in season, basketball.
