Yes....his reasoning was although Stanford has a very good pts/set number.....they gives up too many points from hitting, service, and blocking errors. On the other hand....Pitt and Penn State have excellent numbers (Pitt gives away 6 pts/set and Penn State 7 pts/set). I like these explanations.....helps me with my volleyball learning curve.Mick offers detailed insight into these teams and to the sport of volleyball in general.
Of course, I guess you should expect that from a coach who has won multiple national championships.
I go back to Sue-Muy Chin, who never coached again after she was sacked. She worked at the Apple Store for several years after leaving. Then her replacement, Greg Miller, sold life insurance for 5 years after he was let go, and is now an inside sales rep for a steel company.
One has to wonder why they aren’t coaching anymore. It would have been tough for anyone win when Sue was here, that’s for sure. But there were others from her era like Nikki Izzo Brown at WVU who built that program from scratch. My guess is Coach Brown got more support from her university earlier than Pitt decided to help their women’s coach.
Ok...So the writer for a San Jose paper that still primarily covers the Pac-12 and Mountain West wants Penn State to get a high ranked opponent?
The Texas grad that write for an Austin paper wants Nebraska to get a high efficiency grade?
The UG grad writing for an Athens paper wants to inflate Illinois because B1G bias?
The Nevada grad who writes for a Reno paper is concerned that B1G teams aren't ranked high enough?
Because those are all among the AP voters that have Illinois ranked in the top 25, including rankings of 18th, 19th, 20th, 22nd.
Obviously there is some bias among voters for regional teams, because those are the teams local reporters are more likely to actually watch and higher ranked local teams leads to greater online exposure for their articles. But AP voters are distributed throughout the country pretty well.
Fields is exactly the type of QB you want for an OC to utilize his legs. He should be especially dangerous on the ground if Harris/Warren get going. It's almost like Tomlin only wants his offense to score 17 or less each week.Why does Philly have all these designed runs for Hurts and the Steelers can’t design crap for Fields? Makes no sense.
I might be bitter because I had a 9 leg parlay yesterday for the steeler game and 8 of them hit, but the only one that didn’t hit was Fields rushing for 40 yards.
Even when Hurts drops back to pass, he doesn’t hesitate to pull the ball down and run .
Hurts is a much better passer and yet his legs are used a ton. Fields is half the passer and the offense has no plays designed for him and he refuses to uses his legs.
