2015 College Football Season

So - it seems like Boise and Utah fans are making a big deal of the "alligator roll" that Kaufusi used to bring down the QB.

And I find myself asking - is this a real thing? I mean, I understand not wanting to injure another player - which can come from twisting. But I also kind of think that particular situation called for a roll. I mean, the guy's lying there in the grass holding the QB's ankle. Is he supposed to just pull a Van Gundy and sit there holding his ankle until the guy throws the pass?

Seems to me that rolling and taking the guy down is what most coaches would be telling a player to do. Not to injure the guy, but to get him to go down before throwing the ball.

Am I wrong? What am I missing?

The alligator roll is a myth made up by Ute fans who have never played the game. San Juan posted a video of the Seahawks actually teaching this to their players. That is a very common technique that is taught on how to tackle. It is the safest way to tackle someone. Injuries are going to happen either way, but would rather have them occur in your lower extremities or a head injury? It seems these dipshit Ute fans would prefer helmet to helmet contact.

They are more up in arms about what BYU did against Boise than they are about the targeting penalty by Utah State that about killed Britain Covey.

I saw Covey in the hospital after that. It is a miracle he pulled through.

Not me...I went to bed when Boise was up 17-7. I assume you lost, no?

cougjunkie answered 2 of the questions as follows:



I'm making fun of cougjunkie's niece comment in "answering" his questions. You honestly think I would provide any information about my family to you people?

HLS.

After BSU beat Washington, the MWC has lost 21 straight games against FBS opponents this year.

Hopefully, this will forever bury that crazy talk about BYU going back to the MWC.

During the BYU game we were flipping back and forth watching the Texas-Cal game. Texas down by 21 pts and came back with three tds in the fourth quarter to potentially tie the game but the *$&#ing kicker missed the extra point, proving HFN's theorem once again. Lost 45-44. Two one-point heartbreaks in one night.

On the plus side, Texas has found a fantastic new QB. Redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard was phenomenal, setting a school record 527 yards total offense. He might save Charlie Strong's job.

It is laughable that Auburn is still ranked in the coaches poll. Barely beat an FCS team in week 2 and get completely blown out in week 3 by LSU and still come in at #25.

[Commando]

What about Ohio St. still getting all the 1st place votes after squeaking one out against stalwart... Northern Illinois?

I had paid no attention to Utah's game on Saturday. Just saw the Bad Beat segment on SportsCenter, cool that up 14 with 1:10 left Utah runs 3 plays inside the 5 yard line to score making the lead 21. Lol, I hope our Ute friends haven't wasted all their "classy" posts.

Wow. LA Ute must have been livid.

[SCcoug]

I hope Tim DeRuyter flipped him off.

[Omaha 680]

Wait a minute, THAT'S how Utah beat Fresno State by 21? LOL.

Probably just being jealous because the Utes were on SportsCenter with SVP screaming "why aren't they taking a knee?!"
