HogDoctor: I'm trying to temper my concern with the fact that we faced a previous year CFP team with good talent, but I'm worried.Didn't seem to get a pass rush/pressure often with just four. ScottieBordelon: To wrap up his presser, Sam said that "was priceless." Beamed with pride about it. LDhog: Reminded me of when Sam Pittman was our offense line coach. To be conditioned and physical enough that late in the game that you can just plow the row is beautiful to me.Ĭoloradohog: Went a long way toward winning the game. When everyone in the stadium knows all your going to do is run and you still manage three first downs to basically end the game, well. Votan: I was very happy to see that with five minutes and change left in the game and all we had to was line up and drain the clock, we were able to do it. No face masks.įans were energized when Arkansas never gave the ball back for the last five minutes of the game. Redpig: Back in my playing days, we used a modified leather helmet in junior high that evolved some by high school in the fall of '53 thru '55.

Otherwise it would have flopped around on my head like a fish. I had to stack a second ear pad on the existing one and tape it in to make it fit snugly. There was no way I could have shaken my head and gotten my helmet to fly off.ĭocestes: Well way back when, the equipment room at DeWitt High School didn't offer a lot of options. Maybe it's a safety thing, I dunno, but when I played, my helmet barely went on my head and pulling the sides apart to get the helmet off took some effort. Guys just don't keep their helmets very tight any more. SwineFusion: Flying helmets cost them their quarterback for the first play of the fourth quarter. Irunalot: The new flopping, just enough to get us out of our tempo. But I don't think the flying helmet should count when a player is just celebrating and shaking his helmet off.
