Bowl game observations

Postby Fredo » Sat Dec 29, 2012 9:21 am

Were just about halfway through the bowl season and I thought I'd post a few rants and my hard opinion.

This season has to go down as one of the sloppiest I have ever seen. QB's throwing 3,4 picks a game. RB's fumbling all over the field and inside the 10 yd line.LB's and DB's trying to arm tackling without the slightest effort. Teams that were 7+ favorites getting n out and not caring.In recent years I've seen a trend that I don't like. Athletic QB's who are marginal throwers trying to do too much. Instead of throwing it way they'll try to throw into double and triple coverage to keep the spotlight on them. Its very similar to March madness when you see a point guard who's sideways take a buzzer beater from 60 ft away because he was to darn greedy to pass to a open teammate.Usually its an air ball or bounces high of the backboard.How bout the coach last week who put a 5'7 DB on a 6'5 receiver,can you say mismatch? Yet the coach is so arrogant he didn't change it up and his team got n out.Multiple personal fouls in all games.Nine personal fouls (five for Texas Tech, four for Minnesota) were handed out, and at one point, Minnesota faced a third-and-49 because of personal fouls.

More later.
