If coaches have little responsibility for outcome (good or bad) then all the people saying players are “replaceable and don’t deserve to be paid” need a reeducation and players should be paid more than coaching staffs?

He put his head down. Freshmen make mistakes. He's gonna be a dude. But he does need to make that tackle.
Going for it on 4th and 1 means they actually trust their defense to bail them out if needed.
It’s a combination of not respecting our O and respecting their D.
Always playing it safe in O means you don’t trust your D to perform except in perfect situations.
Bad challenge by Locksley. Someone giving him bad info
These threads with the armchair expert takes are insufferable. Time for me to check out. Keep the sanity here, brother.
If his guys in the box were telling him to challenge that's very odd. The WR was even saying that drop was on him.
Holding Maryland to only a field goal is pretty good. Just have to get the offense going.
The loss of challenges for the rest of the game has an undeternined impact at this point
He completed a beautiful 5 yard pass on 3rd and 10 earlier. Set up the punt perfectly. Went 1-0 on that play.
I’ve been watching the o line run blocking and, while I don’t really know what I’m seeing technically, I can see how MD beats at least one block, often more than one, on almost every run. And the misses look like it’s due to a bad play design (e.g. a blocker pulling and the defender who makes the tackle coming from the slot the pulling player vacated).
I don’t know if it’s scheme or execution or both. But it’s bad, so far at least.
He called Schiano "Schiani" earlier. Maybe lay off the vodka before game time. Hard to get names and players right when swacked on the goof juice.
Oh great point!
I always keep mixing up the NFL rule where you get 2 TOs.
The risk is much higher than just a TO.
Totally different situation then.
What a play by AK to field that early snap and then complete the pass.
You mentioned exactly what I was thinking - the color guy is ONLY talking about Maryland.
When they are on offense it’s all about what they need to do and vice versa on defense
It’s a big pet peeve of mine when commentators (on a neutral broadcast) only talk about one team
The color guy is ALL Maryland. It’s annoying as hell.
Real good 4th and 4 play. Kalikmanis handed that bouncy snap good and fired it out to Strong for a big 1st down.
This announcing crew is horrible, mispronouncing almost all our staff and players. No pregame research I see….smh
