    Last three years (5 games Mar has officiated not counting 58-0 vs Rice in 2021):

    Opponent Penalties: 12 for 96 yards

    Texas Penalties: 37 for 260 yards

    208% more penalties called on Texas. 178% more penalty yards for Texas.

    Move along. Nothing to see here.

    I mean, I don't want to see that douche's face on the mic during the game any more than anybody else, but this doesn't mean that much without the comparison of Texas/Opponent penalty rates with other officials.  The way we talk about him (and the Big 12 in general), you'd expect that the biggest disparity in favor of opponents would be Mar crews, then non-Marred big-12 crews, then non big-12 crews.  Is that the case?

    Can they just unfire Jimbo and be like, PSYCH, but if you don't get your shit together we will actually fire you!!

    Yeah, they'll let him keep his buyout but his new contract will be MUCH more reasonable.  To show him they are tough negotiators.

  3. I'm not so sure the conservative game plan of the last two games has been designed to try to fool Ohio State into thinking they are just going to be an ultra conservative team now.  Probably more like "we can be very conservative and still win these two games", and it almost bit them against Maryland.

    I mean I definitely agree that the general vision of how they want to run the game comes from Harbaugh during the week, but when they're in the stadium and the game is actually happening, Sherrone can't exactly phone a friend back at the hotel and ask whether they should go for it on 4th and 2 from the Ohio State 40 or not.  Some of those calls have to come from him in the moment, and it seems like, at least against 2 overmatched opponents, he is more likely to be conservative than to gamble.  I'd like to see how he handles it when forced into a position where he basically HAS to roll the dice, he just hasn't been challenged into that yet. 

    It will be interesting to see how the gameplan differs for Ohio State, that's for sure.
