Re: Wish list for CSU game

I'd say
#1 to 10 touches
#2 also 10 touches
#3 to either 0 or 3 points. No reason they should score as many TD's as Wiscy did.
#4 5 plays like this
#5 0 is right.
and add #6 - win by 28.

Re: Wiscy Experience

I did think it was weird that the student section appeared to have about 1,000 people there at the national anthem. But there was a steady stream until it filled up.
I heard that they make the students line up, single-file, and get a seat pass to enter. No confirmation that comment, though

SUU? I haven't looked at the article, are FCS included - I doubt it, since Idaho is 119? You have 12 teams listed, we play 12, so I think you got everyone.

Re: Forde Yard Dash

The four teams struggling the most with place kicks (minimum of three attempts):
1-SDSU
2-PSU
3-UTEP
4-Ole Miss
And the four teams that are doing the best job splitting the uprights:
5-Northwestern
6-BC
7-Texas-San Antonio
8-Auburn

Here's another question- why didn't we let more time run off the clock before spiking the ball on 3rd down? If we had made the field goal, we'd still have to kick off to Wisconsin.
