Is anyone else concerned?

I do not buy that domed stadium crap. While I do not want to admit it, since he may be leaving, Chittenden set a field goal distance freshman record verse Oregon State in the rain

He also fell short on one in Boise in the cold.I have to imagine conditions played a role in it.

Kicking in a dome and not dealing with the elements has to be easier overall. Not just from the actual kicking but the snap and hold as well.

There was an actual Harvard study on it in for the NFL (Good to see those outrageous tuition costs are studying things that matter!)

'Not surprisingly, there is a strong association between kicking indoors and greater FG success. From distances of greater than 20 yards, being indoors is strongly associated with higher FG success. And the significance of this association appears to increase along with the length of the FG attempt.'

It did go on to say that after 50 yards there wasn't much difference. Having more to do with kickers leg strength. But from 20 yards to 49 yards significantly easier kicking in doors.

Not UNLV but football related...Kinda..

Stumbled across this on Twitter.

Short minute long video of Michigan players going through the tunnel entering the Horseshoe for the Ohio State game. Set to the music The Beast from the movie Sicario.

If there was a category for super short films 1 minute in length at the Academy Awards this would get my vote..

Timed the music and perfectly. Final 5-10 seconds cool as hell.

Camac has gone portaling

His main recruiter there was Ryan Gunderson. Murphy is from SoCal. Gunderson has been trying to get him on their roster he was the QB coach for UCLA. The landing spot really does seem weird, but the word is that Duke was trying to recruit over him.

He had accuracy issues at Duke, though he did have a monster passing year, he posted similar stats as Maiava. I wonder how much they’re paying him. He was making $240k at Duke, but war chest from Oregon state is a bit of a mystery to me. I believe he could have made more somewhere else.

Add to it Oregon State is playing basically an independent schedule this year. Extremely outside chance at CFP.

Would think he had some potentially more lucrative offers in terms of NIL not to mention better options armt CFP.

Kinda odd

Seems weird there haven’t been many assistant coaches being hired/announced yet. Also, kinda concerning haven’t seen a lot of portal players announcing offers and or official visits.
I expected 3-5 coaches being hired and announced by now and 10-15 portal guys boasting about offers.
Odom took three weeks to finish his staff announcements.

Malik Murphy left Duke to go to Oregon State...Seems like a weird landing spot..

UNLV Offered. . .

Man. That could mean anything. With Jett essentially confirming that he's staying and the Utah transfer coming in almost seems less likely he would return right?

Plus does Kylin James still have eligibility left? I never know anymore with the Covid year.
I would take Burrell 100x over James. Burrell is going to be a beast in a year or 2. All MWC team.
