Had the pleasure of working with you countless times and always had a blast. Glad to call you a friend, and can’t wait to see what’s next.

How quickly people forget. These were not clearly the two best teams in the country. They were two of the three best with Houston. Jamal Shead’s injury effectively ended their run.

2021 QB class offering a great reminder of how valuable the #1 pick is. Discourse has a habit of pushing guys together and make us think any team to get a “top” QB is set. Reality is, getting the top guy matters a ton.

Absolutely cannot call that a flagrant against Texas, going for the ball then fouled him when didn’t get it. Terrible way to decide a game.

Can’t imagine two top 5 prospects have ever come off the bench in college, much less for the same team.

Maybe that shouldn’t be the case…

I love seeing what the numbers spit out to compare players. I think it’s helpful & provides context. Also, it’s fun to see old reports look similar as well. In this case, I believe Jaylon Johnson & Terrion Arnold read almost identical coming out of college & the numbers matched.

Player tracking data is helping to add a new element to analyzing the NFL Scouting Combine.

The worst rule in football may be a touchback on a fumble out of the end zone, but it’s not as bad as what happens on the reversal of goaltending in college basketball. Not as punitive, but plain stupid.

The biggest criticism used against “analytics”, is that it doesn’t take into account the team or situation

Michael Badgley career 48+= 45%

Why doesn’t the “take the points crowd” include these pieces of info?

Early in game SF elected to attempt FG on 4th down. Moody missed 🤷‍♂️

Any potentially injured 49ers player needs to get off the field. Can't have an injury timeout like Washington did vs Texas in CFP semifinal.
