McCaffrey's yardage is ridiculous. Kind of surprising how few TDs he had with all that yardage, though.

A bit yeah. They also let this guy: http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/511941/remound-wright get a lot of the short yardage carries.
For comparison Reggie Bush had 19 total TDs the year he won the Heisman (16 rushing, 2 receiving 1 returning). McCaffrey has 15 total TDs this year (8 rushing, 4 receiving, 1 returning, 2 throwing).
In 2005 when Bush won the Heisman LenDale White had 24 rushing touch downs and 2 receiving TDs.
They also had Andre Ellington, and yet Tajh Boyd completed less than 60% of his passes.
They were 81st of 120 in scoring defense.

Yup. When you have a big bruiser you go to them in short yardage situations.

Tajh Boyd and bad defense, though the defense did start to get better in 2013. Also, a really bad offensive line.

Just a ruse for us to have an entire year to negotiate bringing Nick AND Jimbo back home. hashtagCFBdelusions
Gene Chizik is the lead candidate for the ECU job.
Also in the running-Matt Canada.
Good luck Pirates.

Oh goodness what a drop off between Chizik and Canada. Chizik revitalized the Tarheels from their usual mediocrity, and Canada has playcalled NCSU to one of the most dismal in-conference records for a decent school in a very long time.
wow that's a dick move. ECU AD must've forgot who they are.

What, second best football program in NC?
Who'd ever pick McElwain for coach of the year this year? I've enjoyed the season and I like him pretty well, but he's also getting by with a muschamp powered defense and the offense, while showing some improvement, was cut short halfway through and now it's impossible to tell.
It's so hard to figure out what he's going to bring to the table at this point. Ferentz beat the haters and had an undefeated regular season after being in the tank. Schedule aside that's good for a guy who the program's been loyal to and didn't cut after a few bad seasons.
Also, Pac-12 is officiating the NC? Good god, that's gonna be a shit show.

Oh trust me, I know. My frustrations with Canada are endless. His red zone playcalling cost us so many points against good teams.
I hope ECU hires him just so we don't have to pay his buyout when we fire him. Which, since it hasn't happened yet, I'm hoping happens after the bowl game.
He signed an extension after last season when Tennessee came calling but I'm not sure how keeping him can be justified after the shitshow that was our offense at times this season. I don't want him anywhere near McLendon's development. Four star QBs don't exactly flock to our program.
Hey!
... painfully true unfortunately. We get a shot at them next year though to reclaim that title.

Garret Gilbert?
Ferentz won some coach of he year award. As was pointed out earlier there are like 20 of them given out
It's all about scale. Did you notice how small they made the stadium in comparison?

JUST IN: #OhioState's Adolphus Washington cited by @ColumbusPolice for solicitation bit.ly/1OVjbnp

Lol, awaits the Urban has lost control of the players commentary.

What was he soliciting? cigarettes to minors? I mean everyone has done that before in a pinch
Urban Meyer has lost control of his players' spending habits.
I wonder if there's going to be a big focus on defense there. Rhoads was always pretty good at getting great linebackers to play for us over the years. Also wonder how many ISU -> Rutgers transfers there will be.
Our defensive numbers were so bad, but I really blame it on our head coach hamstringing our dc. I'm still not sure if this is going to happen, because I think there would be a bidding war for Rhoads.

He may be, he may not be.
No matter what Draxal, you have to appreciate that coach Chris Ash is amazing. He is just bringing it at a level that's unforeseen.
I'm hoping for Dan McCarney for defensive line coach, since I think Panagos is only here for the interim. That would truly be a defensive coaching staff for the ages.
Edit: Hearing rumors that Kyle Flood might be Texas' next OC.
I know you're still in your alternate personality mode right now, but I'm so glad to be free of Flood that I don't care about anything else.

C'mon, it's not even off-season yet.
That is what Santa would look like if you squeezed him from the feet up like toothpaste and got all his fat into his head.
A local microbrewery in Tuscaloosa does chalk murals. This was a recent mural on the wall there, and it shows Bert at Arkansas as Santa Claus delivering to Alabama the present of the SEC west by virtue of Arkansas' miraculous victory over Mississippi. Had Arkansas not converted that 4th and 25 play against Mississippi, Mississippi would have had the tie breaker over Alabama and would have played Florida in Atlanta for the SEC championship.

Great.
Of course my coach's contract is brought up in the first paragraph. As if this season couldn't get any better.
Really interesting article BTW. Thanks.
Bruce Read made almost half a million dollars this year without any bonuses. Not new to me but what a waste of a coaching spot.
SEC probably would have been left out entirely if OM had won the championship. Remember, they lost to (a decent) Memphis.
Mississippi, Cyan. Not Ole Miss. Mississippi. They want to be called Ole Miss. So we call them Mississippi now.

While we're talking about crazy plays that changed the season, if Michigan doesn't have that fail against Michigan State, Ohio State would've went to the Big Ten title game instead.

We went over this one already, and Ohio State fans* stated (presumably with straight faces) that they do not regret laughing at Michigan's expense in this game, and that they'd rather Michigan have lost that game than the Buckeyes get a shot in the playoffs.

Eh, would have lost playoffs first round now we get to beat Notre Dame yaaaay
I personally cannot be mad we didnt make it, we had to win 2 games this year to make it, we didnt, bummer. Had it been some BS that we tied Sparty with no loses somehow and that would have put us in my feeling would be different.
Cant be upset when you have the chance to win on the field and you dont.
