OT: BYU schedules Coastal Carolina

[BFo8]

They would both be bottom third teams in the ACC. Coastal is a nice story, but Pitt would beat them handily.

Maybe so, but I believe Coastal would be favored over Pitt on a neutral field right now. Maybe a point or 2 probably.

BYU certainly would be, they are having a tough night tonight, but they would not be a bottom third team in the ACC. They have some NFL players on that team.

Coastal would struggle to move the ball against Pitt. I'd be on Pitt all day. I haven't followed BYU much, but they don't look good. Pitt has some NFL players too, and we're 4-5 in the ACC.

I wouldn't count on Pitt to beat anyone handily at this point.

Tonight’s game is a microcosm of why a lot of people don’t have a high regard for Kalani Sitake as a head coach. Poor use of timeouts, clock management and game strategy. Wilson has been a little off tonight, but he’s a legit top 5 pick in the draft and by far the best player on the field. Yet BYU seemed to get too enamored with the run after their early success and has somewhat taken the ball out of their best player‘s hands.

You're missing the point. Coastal hasn't played anyone until tonight, and I'd say the quality of BYU is debatable. They would lose more often than not to teams like Pitt, VT, NC St, UNC, BC, UVA, Wake, let alone Clemson, ND and Miami. We can agree to disagree.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Well in any event, that was a heck of an ending.

Most years I think you are correct, BYU would be a middle of the pack ACC team. Not so much this year, a big time QB makes a big difference if you’re lucky enough to have one.

Holy crap what an ending, when he caught the slant gut reaction was he would score.

 

[Burgh15]

Alright, Coast, great win today! Fun game and a terrific finish.

 

[Gunga_Galunga]

I hate throwing the ball that short of the goal line. I know the D is defending the endzone, but they also don't have far to come out to stop you.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

And the Clemson - Virginia Tech first half ends in a similar way. Virginia Tech throws a hail Mary and the Clemson defender tries to catch it, deflects it right to a Virginia Tech player at about the two yard line, but they push him out of bounds before he can cross the goal line. He was probably no more than about six inches short of the touchdown.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

That was a fun game to watch.

 

[lostnite66]

Yes it was!

 

[cashisking884]

This was a great college football game.
But the one poster is right, these weren’t elite teams. They both would be middle to bottom of most P5 conferences. Probably the AAC as well.

I also loved the music Coastal plays. Take the field to Alice In Chains. Then they would play the old school NWO wrestling entrance. Not a lot of fans in the stands, but that seemed like a really fun stadium to be at.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

BYU and CC are both Top 25 teams. I wouldn’t say Top 10, but somewhere in the 15-25 range. BYU has talent and a 1st Round QB. They flew cross country at the last minute and had little time to prepare. CC is the equivalent to a good Navy team from recent years. We witnessed first hand what they did to us.

 

[HailtoPitt]

Too many thugs on Coastal Carolina. The coach must be fine with them if they win.

Can Pitt bring him in?

Or the real question is what legit FBS program will hire him. Michigan? Texas? VT?

They are only top 25 because of their records, which were built off beating nobody. Put them in the ACC, SEC, B12, or Big 10 and they aren't .500 football teams.

Right..........Name the 25 teams that deserve to be ranked ahead of them.

I think that’s an unfair assertion to make. Of course they couldn’t compete against a P5 schedule if they were in the same position as they are now- Sun Belt facilities, recruiting, budgets, etc. Even schools like TCU and Utah, who were notorious party crashers, struggled initially with the move up to the Big XII and Pac 12.

If they actually joined a P5 conference and received the perks that come with it, give them a few years to adjust and then we could see what happens.

Dude, any ACC D line would eat them alive. Rankings are a popularity contest and CC is a nice story. I get it, but lets not pretend they're good.

Yea - just like we ate up Navy in the Military Bowl. Northwestern has a chance to win their division and both teams are better than them.

Go ahead and name the 25 schools.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

As in many years, there really aren't 25 teams that "deserve" to be in the top 25 this year. But you have to vote for someone. Better Coastal Carolina than someone like Wisconsin.

That Navy team would beat CC by 3 TDs. I already told you they wouldn't be .500 in a P5 conference, so you can take every P5 team .500 or better.

Everyone likes a feel good story.

If you truly believe neither team would finish .500 in any P5 conference, then you don’t understand the game of football.

 

[BFo8]

I think BYU and Coastal Carolina would have trouble finishing .500 in the SEC, any other conference they finish above that mark.

Not saying this is a year in and year out thing, but for this season. BYU has a QB that’s guaranteed to be at least a top 10 pick and some other NFL guys, of course they would be at least .500 in the ACC this year.

I don't know about that. I mean the team that starts the great Phil Jurkovec at quarterback is only 5-5 in the ACC this year. If that's all the better he can do, what makes you think that a mere top ten draft pick quarterback could do any better?

😛

I’m probably all out of sarcasm today Joe, it’s been a long day.

However I just posted in another thread I saw some 2022 mocks that had Howell #1 and Slovis #2 overall, and had Spencer Rattler and Jayden Daniels in the first round also, but alas no Phil Jurkovec.

I watched some of the Virginia/BC game where Jurkovec was out injured. His backup threw 3 picks, 2 of which were not good. He did manage to throw for 520 yards and 4 tds though while under intense pressure most of the game. If I’m not mistaken he was a walk on as well, I thought he looked pretty damn good in a tough situation. If Jurkovec had those kind of numbers in any game ever you’d have multiple threads on here right now attesting to his greatness.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

He did manage to throw for 520 yards and 4 tds

I happened to catch that game near the end when the announcers said that he had tied Doug Flutie for the BC record for passing yards in a game.

Also, for the people out there who think that only Notre Dame gets the results of an on-side kick overturned by replay, BC actually recovered an on side kick after they scored late to cut into Virginia's lead. Alas, on replay review they saw that the kicker actually touched the ball before it went the full ten yards, which didn't matter so much because they also would have seen the BC player blocking before the ball went ten yards, and the result of the play was overturned to give the ball to Virginia.

I was actually going to post a thread about that onside kick, but figured no one else was watching the game. Should’ve known better.

Another conspiracy theory bites the dust - at least until ND has another call go their way.
