I can't believe that San Diego and Brady Hoke have parted ways.

On tagetting, I can see why the field refs could miss it, it's bang bang.  THe magical booth should see the possibility of it.

I agree the rule should be modified.  If the ball carrier lowers his head, it should be removed.  And can the ball carrier himself be called for it?  Should be.

The idea is to protect the person hitting the other right?

Sterling Big Ten matchup tonight. 4-5 UCLA @ 5-5 Washington airing on FOX. Both looking to improve their bowl standings. With a Las Vegas Bowl on the line? Washington closes their season at home. 5-0 thus far this season. With a 19 game home streak on the line. It's supposed to be a "black out" game.

If I remember correctly all the way back to 2010 when Sark was coaching the Huskies, Washington's first "black out" game was also a weeknight game Vs UCLA. Jake Locker’s last game. In which both teams were fighting for a shot at a Bowl, like now. On the other side, UCLA has won 3 straight after starting 1-5.

In other news, Washington Athletic have bizarrely entered into an NIL partnership with World of Warcraft: "As part of the deal, Washington will become the "University of Warcraft" in the days leading up to its matchup against the Bruins. As part of the agreement, players will promote the "University of Warcraft" on social media, a custom logo will be revealed, "World of Warcraft" mascots will lead the team onto the field, the student section will receive themed shirts and more."

Brand partnerships work when the target consumers for those brands heavily overlap - see example:



Bizarre, because I can't imagine football fans share much overlap with World of Warcraft gamers:

MSU transfer Katin Houser looks like a guy who could work his way back up into a P5 role.  He wasn't ready as a RS freshman, and I still think he's too small.  But, aside from the interceptions last night, he looked pretty good.  He seems like a one read guy, but he looked pretty good on the RPOs that MSU didn't run with him.

Maybe he'll just be a good 2.5 year starter at ECU, but I wonder how many of those guys exist anymore.  Particularly ones who have a 4* pedigree coming out of HS.
