lets remember some guys

...dub thee 'ol Charles Matthews. [Patrick Barron]

UFR Glossary: Familiarize yourself with all the jargon here.

Substitution Notes: There were many subs (it was crazy) so we need to bullet this game.

  • Your starters were McGregor, Jenkins, Graham, and Harrell; Colson and Barrett; Paige, Sabb, Sainristil, Harris and Wallace. Paige left as soon as the outcome was little in doubt.
  • Hausmann rotated at both LB spots.
  • Second team DL was Moore, Goode, Grant, and Stewart. TJ Guy got in first as a 5-2 edge but the Harrell/McGregor/Moore/Stewart got the majority of snaps.
  • At DT, the pattern I'm getting is Grant is a nose, but Benny and Goode can be either.
  • At LB, Jaydon Hood played much of the 2nd half, while Micah Pollard was in for the last two drives only.
  • At safety, Q-Jo replaced Paige, and Sabb was in for Moore. Berry came in at the Paige spot but moved to the Moore spot when they played Brandyn Hillman.
  • Backup corners were Jyaire Hill and DJ Waller. Backup nickel was McBurrows.
  • Final drive participants not already mentioned were DTs Trey Pierce and Reece Atteberry, DEs Kechaun Bennett and Cameron Brandt, LB Christian Boivin, and Nk Kody Jones.

Formation Notes: Nothing fancy from either team, except this from Michigan I called "Eagle A9" because it's an Eagle front (wide DTs) with a LB in the A gap and an LB in a wide 9. Usually I just call such things "Exotic" but Eagle showed up a few times so I wanted this sorted in that bin.

Just to refamiliarize with our nomenclature I call this formation from ECU "Offset 3x1 RB." Offset because the RB is offset by a yard or more from the QB. 3x1 because it's a 4-wide set with 3 on the field side versus 1 on the boundary side. RB because the RB is flipped to the strongside.

[Bryan Fuller]

Every year draft pundits select one Big Ten quarterback to inexplicably hype up as a draft prospect. Mitch Leidner, Brian Lewerke, Clayton Thorson, Nate Stanley: if you're tall and remind a draft analyst of either the quarterbacks of his boyhood or a horse with arms bolted on there's a fair chance someone is going to wildly overrate you going into your senior year. Sometimes the analysts can even be right, as they were with Jets second-round pick Christian Hackenberg, and still be spiritually wrong.

After profanity-laced AAF washout, Christian Hackenberg may be out of options

Analysts who had Christian Hackenberg high in their rankings agree with the Jets. This is technically correct. It doesn't count.

In the three media-open OTAs, Hackenberg hit reporters with passes twice.

Hackenberg goes on the list. So does Tanner Lee despite going in the sixth round. Some of the deranged analysts work for the Jets and Jaguars, is all.

This is fine. We point and laugh, and then go about our days. It's our fun little tradition. Unfortunately, we're now beyond the gentle mocking stage.
