Your definition of "in the box" is from the 80's and why Sark kept calling running plays vs ASU. That dude has two jobs. Get downhill as fas as you can in the run game. Notice who makes the tackle. And be a deterrent for Sark's layer concept that we always run where we run a post over a 15 yard dig. They are closing the middle of the field while also loading the box. Dude has no man he is guarding so think he isn't a box defender if you want to but that's how you run for 54 yards on 23 carries. If Helm stays in he is a box defender.
This.
A Nickel in the apex or a Cover 3 WS are generally counted as box defenders.
Against some Quarters teams you have to consider both safeties in the box.

From my model:
Ohio State is the #1 team - Texas is number 2.
Ohio State is the #1 defense - Texas is number 2.
Both defenses have been consistent all season. OSU is 5th in defensive consistency and Texas is 13th.
Neither defense has been tested thoroughly. OSU is #133(!) in defensive confidence while Texas is 121.
-
Ohio State is the #4 offense in my model. - Texas is #11.
The Texas offense has been tested thoroughly and ranks #3 in offensive confidence. OSU is mildly untested at #78.
-
The model has Texas +5.5, so mostly agrees with Vegas, but it expects a low-scoring affair.

The matchup is actually pretty decent for us. They want to sling it, but we have the best secondary they’ve seen this year. And we can get pressure with 4. And we have Ant who can outrun anyone on second level. We’ve got an NFL guy for everyone they have.
Not to be captain obvious, but we need to be able to have a somewhat existent run game. What stands out to me is how much space is available to QE on zone read type plays. He will have 5-7 yards on the outside but hands it off to Wis running right into the middle for 1 yard. QB1 has to realize that he has 8 quarters of football left at Texas and he can be a legend if he leaves it all out there and runs the ball. It can’t be Arch, because it would be out of rhythm and right along with tendency. Has to be QE. He can do it if he trusts his own athleticism. Old high school coach used to say that if you run without fear you don’t get hurt, you hurt others.
Howard has struggle against every great defense he's faced - Michigan, Penn St, Nebraska. Just continue the trend.

But once again--neither the players nor the coaches understand the rules of the game. It's absolutely infuriating.
Interior lineman cannot break their stance once they are on the line of scrimmage. ND committed 4 false starts.

disagree
espn breakdown talking through it was correct and objective
Two guys said they didn't know, the other misexplained the rule as any contact to the head of a defenseless player.

Can't remember the specifics but we had a similar play a couple years ago for a game clinching 1st down. I wanted to say JWhitt pulled Bijan for it but could have the players mixed up, but it definitely happened.
NFL has either changed the rule or ignores aiding the runner penalty and college is about the same
It doesn't get called much but it still happens. Tennessee just was called for one I want to say against Vanderbilt.

On bang-bang collisions on a contested ball, they really want a clear indication of targeting. Leading with the helmet is not an indicator. That bullet point literally lists every body part and the key part of it is "attacking" not "leading." They want a definitive thrust, not merely a collision.
Bad targeting calls are jading people's opinions of good no-calls. Everyone wants every hard and high hit to be targeting.

Oh they called holding. A completely egregious call on the 2nd punt return. Of course, there was no replay, but if you have it on DVR, go back and watch. The ASU player throws a blocker to the ground; blocker gets called for holding. Ridiculous and cost us, once again, a shitton of momentum. I think we would have had the ball on their 40 up 14-3. Instead, we're on our own 30 and go 3 and out.
It was in front of me live. It looked like the ASU player had his gloves caught in the facemask/collar of our player. They both went down and our guy tried to get get up and pull away and kept getting pulled back down. There was a tussle like they were stuck and both didn't appreciate it. When the flag came out I thought either or both players were getting a personal foul.

Wrt the refs. I feel like it is such a rarity to get neutral refs, but I have looked and can't find a true box score.
Felt like there were so many uncalled penalties against them, almost like a Rig 12 job again, but that won't show up in a box score.
Does holding ever get called against our opponents? I mean ever? And pass interference, targeting, illegal man downfield, etc.
Even though the Clemson game had neutral refs, they. missed the illegal picks on the Clemson TD early. Does this mean after the fiasco yesterday we are overdue for neutral refs against OhioSt?
I was going to make this post: "The refs in this game were just bad. We had a lot of calls go our way as well."
But then I lised out the missed and iffy calls for both teams, and they nearly all went ASU's way.

Speaking of the fake punt… illegal man downfield x2
But thats not part of the narrative out there
This was pretty obvious to me sitting in the stands. Not sure what thre refs saw.

Same here. Extra magic yard granted on that run with no replay shown to us. Also the no call where skatt slowed down to draw contact and push off Taffe.
There was a call it was just the wrong one.

I avoid this thread during games because I get pissed enough on my own. I’m sure it’s been covered but what in the fuck was that confirmation of a first down when Skattebo was clearly stopped short? I nearly broke my television!
Same question, but also the holding on the 2 pt. They kind of showed it on the big screen and no one was held with what they showed.

Thank goodness they didn't call that targeting.

b The blocking zone disintegrates when the ball leaves the zone;
This is worded weird. The tacklebox extends indefinitely backwards. The ball being snapped into shotgun does not disintegrate the blocking zone.
It has to go 5 yards towards either sideline or 3 yards downfield.

The 1-4 seeds are all underdogs. Actually crazy.

What am I looking at here?
A coverage visual. Gray is the average team. So we are in Cover 3 way more the average, and Cover 1/0 way less than average.

1. Zone is not our thing. The 12 yard out killed us. Klubnik had the timing and arm to hit that in defiance of our defense.
2. The we got away with offensive PI (extending the arm in a push off and got under his skin3. He held up in the end and we stopped them on first down.
Part of it is that they tried Barron and the safeties, but had no luck, So when they got one big play off MM, they kept going back to it.
Disagree with number 1, we barely play man in non-situational scenarios. This was the best WR corp we've seen by far, they attacked the soft parts of the zone and made plays.

ND was only up 11 at half also, so it's a tie.

Tennessee goes into half with the closest halftime margin of the CFP.

It feels like the end of an era in a lot of ways. There's a lot of players on the team leaving memories that will stick.
