Actually Western Michigan leads in sacks ..

Sacks per game we lead.

WMU has played 7 games

 

[volinbama256]

Any injury updates? Bishop/Hobbs?

 

[RandomUTfan]

Those saying how great it would be to get paid $50 mill to not work don't understand the ego of these coaches and players. Legacy is what they want.............

Franklin is butt hurt right now and probably not at home smoking a cigar and basking in his glory. He'd give that money back to still be the HC at PSU.

That being said................He might not "hurt" in squalor, but he ain't happy.

57 million dollars has a way of soothing bruised egos.

as a cmu fan, i can attest the truth. wmu seems like the types to love sacks.

Tennessee Tech could beat the Titans

Curious how many people think we will win next week no questions. If you are in that camp what is your theory or belief about how? I certainly think we can, but it's not a slam dunk to me. It would be a shoot out in my vision for victory and we'd just have the ball last.

We can outplay them absolutely….and beat them with a fairly called and balanced game.

With the officiating we got in 2023 at Tuscaloosa, there is zero chance we win.

After yesterday, I'm not sure we deserve top 20. That was not a top 20 performance at home against a horrific team.

Top 5 Ole Miss beat the same Ark team by 6 at home earlier this year. If it weren’t for a fumble, they may have lost. Ark was 9-12 that game on 3rd down

I think we as fans really need to adjust our expectations moving forward, they’re no more layovers in this league

I can't find any mention of any mitigation anywhere. I did see that they also owe him his annual salary this year so the cost to axe him was actually 57 million. That's obscene. How would you feel as a Penn State student accruing crippling debt in student loans and your school just gave a guy 50 million to go on vacation for the rest of his life?

That depends. If he’s winning nattys im good with it. If not… heads roll.

College football is becoming similar to the NFL- win and advance- don’t worry about the score.

Just win baby!!! Just one point more than your opponent

Tennessee will lead but the refs will make sure they don't pull away are have much momentum. And if they get behind forget about it. Refs will make sure bama advances

Hal Lewis is probably Florida's most-public booster. I doubt Billy makes the playoffs. The coaching carousel is going to be interesting to watch this cycle.

More similar today in that there's more parity than we're used to seeing. I just wonder what that is going to look like in 3 or 4 years. Texas Tech just spend an ungodly amount on their roster for the first time. What do they look like after 4 years of that level of investment? I'm suspicious about the parity we are seeing currently. No, no one looks to be able to build the sort of roster Bama kept winning 'ships with in the past anymore, but there are a few teams that seem to be better equipped to build formidable rosters and it seems everyone else will be hoping to finish runner-up every year, metaphorically.

You should really look into a '96 ford probe. . .

How about a Dodge Stratus

Hot Take: Cignetti will win a natty if he goes to Penn State.

 

[drvenner]

I completely trust Heup. I have zero qualms or distrust against him other than the conservative play calling he’s suddenly turned to when we’re up.

That said, I don’t trust this defense. They are inconsistent and nothing that they have shown in the last two games tells me we have what it takes to beat Alabama, Oklahoma, and/or Florida in the swamp. So unless I see some crazy turnaround next weekend, I’m going to chalk all three of those up to losses.

Didn't we just have two possessions after we went up 17? One was a punt after five plays and the second one closed out the game.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

It's gonna be a wild off season for Coaches..........

great to very good jobs open and ya know UF and FSU are close to being open.

Glad we have Heup and get to sit back and watch the show.

How'd i miss this?

Ole Miss also squeaked by WSU by three points when they were about a 30-point favorite.

 

[DD4ME]

Insane

 

[DD4ME]

Golesh to Penn St or UF?

 

[VolsnCards5]

Bad year to be a power conference school needing to hire a coach.

Great year to be the Ryan Silverfields, Alex Goleshes of the world

Google it? Or he could end up like Lincoln.

I was screaming at the tv when we got the ball late in the fourth and we ran it three straight times and punted. They had everyone in the box with man to man with Brazzel and Mathews. Old Heupel is throwing that bomb all day. I couldn’t believe we didn’t try it on second down with Brazzel. It would have ended the game and their souls. We can’t let teams hang around and give them hope.

We didn't have any possession like that after we went up 17. We had a five play drive that included a pass to Kitselman . Then we had the last drive that closed out the game.
