Tang + McKay would have been legendary.

It does appear we'll be playing WVU!

Not crazy at all. We beat a Sweet 16 team and went to the wire with another in the final week of the season. That's the level we were playing at in the final month.

Others typically get paid, just less.

The same thing was said about Christian James, Alondes Williams, and Kam McGusty. The two that left went on to reach their full potential as all-conference/CPOY. Not a coincidence. We probably had more talent in the final 5 years than the first 5.

I was there in Houston. We were WAY outnumbered by all other fanbases. Never in a million years did I expect a small school from the NE to outnumber us in a bordering state.

I believe that was right around the time Hill and Henson left. The assistant coaching hires were lazy after, including his son, and player development was never the same.

Agreed. But there has been for just about everything since.

Only if one perceives Mateer to have achieved elite results running. Which isn't something I've heard from the anti-QBR crowd.

The ban feature works better.

People complaining we won -- fun place!

52 carries for 176 yards. Those are his rushing numbers for the 4 games in question. A lot of key runs that helped, but that's not earth-shattering, and even if it was, I don't see why it matters if we got 12 yards on a pass play vs run. It's still 12 yards. There are so many things that...

Another number: We were 10-1 last year when our QBR was 49.2 or higher. In other words, we have a clear correlation with QBR and team success. And a clear correlation between QBR pre and post-injury. I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make Bounce and Wichita drink.

For the "look at the numbers folks:" In Mateer's 3 games prior to injury as well as the CFP game with a month to fully recover his QBRs were as follows: 76.9, 75.2, 66.3, 72.3 To put that in other terms, he had a QBR of 72.3 or higher in 3 of 4 games when healthy. He had a QBR of 72.3 or...

So you're saying it was his 2.9 yards per carry that dramatically affected his QBR and put him at the top of the Heisman race?
