2013 College Football Season

If they knew it was coming they would have been in a more ready formation I would think. .

I think they were. I believe they had 1 return man and only 1 guy on each gunner, the remaining 8 guys were in or near the box, and every player flew to the guy who took the snap, just a great play.

Princeton was running sets with three quarterbacks on the field at the same time. This is some pretty creative and fun stuff. I doubt it's going to catch on soon. In reality it looks like these guys are really just athletic guys who throw the ball occasionally rather than dropback passer types.

Pretty brilliant but smart stuff is supposed to come from Princeton.

Id like to see it run with some FBQs.

[LetsGoPeay]

Big game tonight, NIU vs Ball State. Ball State could knock NIU out of a potential BCS berth and put themselves in prime position for the title game. Pete Lembo has been an awesome hire for them and will probably be on a BCS school's sideline in the future.

If anything wouldnt this hinder a team? I mean, I'm guessing these QBs cant run like WRs/HBs so instead of a 4 wide WR set you have 2 WRs and then 2 QBs..

In the Ivy League these guys are probably studs. Plus they can figure the exact trajectory and velocity needed, factoring in humidity, temperature, altitude, and the rotation of the Earth, to successfully complete any pass,

I love it

any person who I talk football about I always ask why they don't run more stuff like this.

with all the options possible given the amount of moving parts and the rules, I think football is archaic with the types of offenses that they run. i'm not saying each team needs to be doing this type of stuff, but when you're team is at a huge competitive disadvantage and you can be creative like this you absolutely should try that.

I loved the team that spread out their oline that I saw a few weeks ago too.. I think they had like 5 yards between oline... Wake Forest I think it was vs Miami.

just little stuff like that, letting the RB throw the ball after a hand off, using more laterals, etc.

Arkansas with Malzahn and McFadden and Felix Jones, man that was fun to watch.

Meanwhile, they leave the most obvious solution on the table: not fucking punting or kicking. It drives me nuts. Shel and I have texts every weekend about this.

You'd love Kevin Wilson then. With all the points they've scored IU has only kicked 8 FG's all season and regularly go for it on 4th down in their own territory.

[DRiccio21]

yup that's one.

or spreading out your entire oline at the goaline and running basically an Oklahoma drill vs a guy rather than keeping 22 guys piled within 6 yards of each other to get a yard.

that's my favorite one, but punting to get a negative correlation at winning the game is always comical too

[texasfan4444]

Thats was pretty cool and creative stuff.. Even if these guys arent running backs, the misdirection and confusion it could create would make for easy completions to keep the chains moving. I like it. Genius.

[shel311]

Running from inside the 1 yard line with all 11 offensive players bunched drives me nuts.

It makes no sense whatsoever.

[OracleHCR]

Tell that to Stanford. I'm sure Oregon hates it after getting a steady dose of it last week.

[jsence2]

Problem is, you can't force the other team to line up in an Oklahoma drill. They blitz the gaps inside and you're gonna get stopped pretty fast.

If they don't change their defensive formation, you can simply audible to a screen to utilize those linemen who have no one to block.

[DRiccio21]

the person with the ball always controls the game... in any sport (that I can think of anyways)

Breaking news/rumor:

Jameis Winston being investigated on sexual assault charge

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Tallahassee Police Department last year received a complaint of sexual battery against Florida State University star quarterback Jameis Winston.

No charges have been filed against Winston, and the investigation remains active. An attorney representing Winston denied the allegation.

The school said in a statement that Winston's status with the Florida State football team, which he has led to a 9-0 record and No. 2 rank in the Bowl Championship Series standings, has not changed.

The complaint was filed Dec. 7, 2012, according to Tallahassee Police Department reports. The complainant is cooperating with the State Attorney's Office, said Officer David Northway, spokesman for TPD.

"The case is open and active and the victim is working with the State Attorney's Office," Northway said.

Tallahassee attorney Tim Jansen confirmed he is representing Winston.

"This case has been going on for over a year. The case was basically closed and we're not sure why it's opened up," Jansen said. "We've been cooperating with the law enforcement agencies and we're hoping to get a quick resolution in favor of Mr. Winston."

Jansen said Winston has not been interviewed by police or prosecutors.

Winston's regular weekly media availability was canceled earlier today. Shortly after the incident report had been released, Florida State issued a statement that said Winston and coach Jimbo Fisher would not address the topic. After practice, Winston spoke with reporters but would only discuss football-related topics.

"We are aware of a matter that was investigated by the Tallahassee Police Department almost a year ago," the school said in a statement. "Because the investigation has not been closed by TPD, we cannot comment further at this time. We look forward to a speedy resolution of the issue. There is no change in Jameis Winston's status."

At the site of his weekly radio show, Fisher did not mention the allegations. But he said of Winston: "I think the world of the young man. Always have."

TPD released an incident report on Wednesday in response to a request from the Tallahassee Democrat for any and all reports related to Winston.

The report, which was heavily redacted, does not mention Winston by name. It says the complaint was received at 4:01 a.m. and the alleged victim said sexual battery occurred earlier in the morning of Dec. 7, 2012, between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m. The exact location was not listed, though the report says it happened at an apartment.

The suspect – name listed as "Unknown" – is described as a black male with a muscular build between 5-9 and 5-11 and 240 pounds, with "straight" black hair and brown eyes. Winston is listed by Florida State as 6-4, 228 pounds.

The narrative description from the investigating officer is redacted. The incident report indicated that evidence was collected from the complainant's body. Photos also were taken of the complainant. She told police she had been drinking alcohol "before/during offense."

Georgia Cappleman, chief assistant state attorney, said she can't discuss the case because it's an open investigation.

In a news release sent this evening, Northway said TPD had received several requests from local and national media about the complaint of a sexual battery.

"The case was assigned to the Special Victims Unit," Northway said. "TPD is continuing its investigation and has consulted with the State Attorney as to the direction of the case."

The Democrat on Wednesday morning requested police reports involving Winston. Throughout the day, TPD officials said they were redacting documents in response to the request. At 4:59 p.m., Northway sent an email to a Democrat reporter containing the incident report. Minutes later the police department released the incident report, without reference to Winston, to other media.

Winston is a redshirt freshman and is widely considered the current frontrunner to win the Heisman Trophy.

Winston, who grew up in Hueytown, Ala., came to Florida State as one of the top recruits in the nation, choosing the Seminoles over Alabama. He was also rated as one of the top high school baseball prospects and played baseball at Florida State last season.

Despite redshirting last season while E.J. Manuel played quarterback, Winston was considered a future star by Florida State coaches, and he has not disappointed. From his debut in a victory at Pittsburgh in which he completed 25-of-27 passes, his star has only risen. He has passed for 26 touchdowns with only seven interceptions, rising to the top of the Heisman conversation.

Winston has also delivered impressive performances on the Seminoles' biggest stages, leading Florida State to a 51-14 victory at then-No. 4 Clemson and a 41-14 victory against then-No. 6 Miami. Several NFL draft experts project Winston to be the No. 1 overall pick when he is eligible in 2015.

It seems like the girl is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame since the case was closed in February.
