Marion to UTEP is picking up steam

I agree it never got that crazy out there, not like advertised.
We some some unbalanced fronts, but not the crazy ones like 3 down lineman under the ball, with a couple tackles split out wide or that kind of craziness.
The "side car" back field creates a unique look and some different type of plays for sure, but it never got so far removed from more established offenses other than that. At least not regularly.
Part of that could be the fact that those types of things are much more difficult to pull off. A bit easier at the HS or FCS level. Another part could be personnel or the fact the running game fell off a bit. Limiting some of the things that you can do.
We also didn't run tempo that much. Again I think that it is due to the running game. It is much harder to pull off when you are getting 2 yards on 1st down runs more often than not.
I liked that we continued to add some wrinkles as the season went on, but it never felt like the offense was fully unleashed. Not sure if that is because it might not work on this level, or we just didn't have the dudes to play it yet.

That's how I felt too. I'm not sure if it was due to our QB's understanding of the offense or what, but it seemed like too many plays were read options, and we'd just run the dive up the middle right into a bunch of guys. I'm not sure if that was Maiava not recognizing the D, misreading it, or if that was just the play call though.
Napier wont even make it through next season, if he even gets through this offseason... He doesnt fit Florida.
Side note: UF undergrad admission standard is on par with any IVY League schools across the country. 29-33 ACT scores with 3.7 GPA plus extracurricular activities and leadership involvements. That is just for the in-state students. This is a state's school.
My daughter wanted to visit UF in her college search for that reason. Very impressive campus and The Swamp is spectacular but holy crap Gainesville is a sh!thole.
Very aware... was one of my schools I wanted to attend for undergrad. Grew up watching them... costs a fortune which is why I didn't go...
Today, anyone who is good enough to get into UF will get a full ride or very close to it. Close to it meaning that you have to pay for room and board and foods still.
Define slums? All of Florida and the world is full of slums. What are nice things? Cambridge, MA is a slum but it home to Harvard.
Yeah no, it is not designed for that. If you want that go East you will find Disney. Or if you want a party school, Florida State is the one.
Not to be that guy, but is having high standards for good grades for Florida kids the same as elsewhere?
I mean "Florida Man" stories exist for a reason, lol.

My 10 grader would love to defunct that. I saw his inorganic chemistry second test today. They already moving electrons charges in a compound similar to O-Chem I had in undergrad.
Edit: He got a 96% on his test today, y'all! Boy gonna get some nice Xmas presents.

USC has a fantastic and beautiful campus that entirely surrounded by slums. The tent city was a nice reminder to work harder to graduate, or I’d end up in one a tent. But now with the wait student loan interest is I may end up in a tent anyway.
Pepperdine U is the most beautiful campus I have seen. Malibu, CA.
Pepperdine is beautiful no doubt but it doesn’t really feel like a campus to me. I prefer more traditional campuses and really enjoy some of the older campuses back east. Gothic buildings, quad, tons of trees. UNLV is definitely not that but I love UNLV not so much for its campus but for its openness to all comers and, ironically, its rejection of traditional thinking about what an academic institution supposed to be. Rebels!!
Umass in Amherst has a beautiful campus in the town of Amherst. There are about 5 different universities and colleges located in the same area so there is a real collegate atmosphere.
As bad as Watts is, USC in Watts is nowhere near Temple University in North Philadelphia. Beautiful campus in one of the worst areas in America. I’d rather live in Colombia than North Philadelphia.
According to Roger Troutman, "California knows how to party" with him specifically citing " in the City of good ol' Watts".
Also that they "keep it rocking"
So it can't be that bad, right?
A friend of mine WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL thought it said “in gold watch.” Almost, dude.
Cambridge is more like a dump than a slum
UF is the best state college in the country and has an admittance rate on par with Duke and Harvard.UF is 31%, Harvard is 3%, and Duke is 6%.Cambridge is more like a dump than a slum
UF is not the best state school in the country. There are 4 in California that are better, not to mention. Michigan. Minnesota. Virginia. UNC. Texas.Cambridge is more like a dump than a slum
It’s a good school, but….

University of Florida ranked No. 1 public school in nation by Wall Street Journal
University of Florida has been ranked the No. 1 public university in the country in the Wall Street Journal's “2024 Best Colleges in the U.S.” report.
www.wptv.com
Some sites say 31, some say 23. So is that on par with Duke and Harvard? Or were you trying to spread some type of agenda?
Not sure why everyone is looking at the acceptance rate, considering the acceptance rate doesn't always have to do with the quality of the school. With the huge population in California, almost every school in the state has a very low acceptance rate good or bad. Not sure why this is even a topic for a sports site?
You have to ask my man up there why that was all brought up.
Do you feel the same way about the politics and Covid conspiracies that are always brought up on this site too?
Not many people use Wall Street Journal's ranking. It's only been around since 2016 and hides its methodology behind a paywall. US News and World Report is usually the gold standard. Hell, that Wall Street Journal had FIU as the 4th best public university in the US (It's 64th on USNWR), New Jersey Institute of Technology 2nd (43rd in USNWR), and Michigan at 3rd (4th in USNWR). Florida is no slouch, it's 6th overall in USNWR, it's a really, really good school. But I'd take USNWR's list over WSJ's any day.University of Florida ranked No. 1 public school in nation by Wall Street Journal

Not perfect, sometimes get drawn into those types of things, or even start them, but try my best to stay on sports topics most of the time.
It could be worse. You can believe everything the government tells you, because Trump and Biden and government are so trustworthy and have our backs.
Never turn your back to a politician or they may do more than just have your back! 😁
