Well they got their 3rd win. Murray State should be their 4th.Kentucky plays
Vandy
UF
Auburn
UT
Murray St
TX
Louisville
They should beat Murray. They would have to sweep Vandy, UF, and Auburn to get bowl eligible. They'll have a puncher's chance in each of those games, but they aren't getting to 6 wins this season.
Tennessee extra point thing doesn't really change anything. Huep wants the rule changed and is making a point. Besides no one is faking injuries on offense. They can sub whenever they want.I'm not opposed to holding them out for the series but teams will just use guys that easy subs be it a TE or WR or wherever depth is good.
It also doesn't deal with UT's extra point or FG flop. What rest of the series?
Someone like Kiffin who is obviously mocking the system should be dealt with via fines, but he'd argue correctly that lots of schools do it, including us.
I doubt any coach really wants a rule where a slightly dinged player is out for a series.Tennessee extra point thing doesn't really change anything. Huep wants the rule changed and is making a point. Besides no one is faking injuries on offense. They can sub whenever they want.
You can't really do it on defense and have your best team out there for most of an opposing teams drive if a player has to sit the rest of the drive. You might get away with it once a drive. But it won't make sense to hold your best guys out in order to do that often.
Except that means your preferred D guy wasn't in before that. So you were playing the second stringer up to that point. I'm not saying there wouldn't be ways to take advantage. But the opportunities to do so are much smaller and carry a larger risk.I doubt any coach really wants a rule where a slightly dinged player is out for a series.
There's not a good solution for us because subbing vs the offense is EXACTLY what the D often wants and can't get without an offensive sub. It's just a matter of sending the right guy down to get your preferred D guy in.
It varies by down and circumstances on D, just like on O. That the offense controls the subs..... unless there's an injury to a defensive player..... is an easy, if nasty, way to get your nickel in or out or whatever.Except that means your preferred D guy wasn't in before that.

But you can't use the same player to fake the injury every time. So you have to rotate 2nd/3rd stringers to take the dive every time. Offenses will target the sub you constantly have to bring into in the game.It varies by down and circumstances on D, just like on O.

Why not use the same players? There's a limit to how often a player can get a cramp, twist an ankle, get the wind knocked out of them, etc, etc?But you can't use the same player to fake the injury every time.

That's news to me.
I get that but the coaches will never go for a full series.If you make them sit for the rest of the series, yes. That's the whole point.
