Clemson needs to burn it down and start over. There are just so many stats like this on both side of the ball.

On the road, 12% of Arch Manning's dropbacks have resulted in sacks over the last 2 years. That's not dropbacks versus pressure, that's all dropbacks. That ranks 109th out of 117 qualifying FBS QBs. Brutal. 6 sacks at TENN 6 sacks at FLA 5 sacks at MSST 3 sacks at UK 3 sacks at UGA 1 sack at OSU

This snap was a movie - DT is left completely unblocked on the screen and has a free run at Jones and freezes - Jones doesn't get rid of the ball - There's a one-man rush, it's blocked up, and it still forces a Dimes stripsack

wish the hashmark difference got brought up more frequently.. So many fans don't even realize there's a difference. It can make a huge difference in how prepared QB/WRs are for the NFL. And the best CFB play-callers use space to their advantage. and the best players want to play in those offenses

Now that you mention it, I do recall Arch Manning making a poor decision under pressure a few weeks ago in a press conference

Arch Manning ranks 95th in sack rate versus pressure. 24% of his dropbacks versus pressure have resulted in a sack.

It's possible Clemson could be 5-6 heading into the South Carolina game for the second year in a row.

Clemson needs 3 wins to get to bowl eligibility. Charleston Southern and Georgia Tech should be wins. So can Dabo get one win against: VT @ FSU @ Syracuse @ Duke South Carolina

Mike Elko is 3-2 on the road against ranked opponents since he got to Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher was 0-10 and Aggies had lost 13 straight before Elko. A&M visits No. 14 Mizzou on Saturday

Jadan Baugh picked up 12 yards on his first carry of the game against Mizzou. Then here's his yardage gains the rest of the game: -3 -2 -1 2 -1 3 3 -1 1 2 -2 that's 11 carries for ONE YARD!!

Chip Kelly completely dominated Penn State's defense by choosing to pound the running game down Penn State's throats, but let's also not forget that Northwestern's QB coach, Jerry Neuheisel, was calling UCLA's plays last year when the Bruins came out of nowhere to shred Penn State's defense.

Purdue's last win over a Big Ten team was against Brendan Sorsby and Indiana. Dillon Thieneman, Nic Scourton and Deion Burks all had big games for the Boilermakers. ... feels like a lifetime ago

Illinois just turned it over on downs in the red zone. Purdue is one quarter away from snapping a 19-game Big Ten losing streak!

Ryan McCrystal @ryanmccrystal.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
so who's gonna save us tonight from a painfully uneventful day? Does Rutgers have it in them to shock Indiana? Maybe Dabo rises from the dead to knock off Miami?

Ohio State RBs are averaging 5.9 yds/att in the 1st half against Iowa. This has not looked like the typical Iowa run defense so far this year.

Largest margin of victory in a conference game in Wake forest history. Stanford's worst margin of defeat in a conference game since a 72-0 beatdown at UCLA in 1954 (Stanford threw 10 INTs in that game!)

Alabama's 56 points is the most the Tide have ever scored on the road against a ranked opponent. Previous record was 49 (5 times, most recently @ Tennessee in 2022) 33-point differential is also their 3rd largest margin of victory on the road against a ranked team.

Ryan McCrystal @ryanmccrystal.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Most career games with 3+ passing TD and 1+ rushing TD, Alabama last 30 years Tua Tagovailoa, 5 Bryce Young, 4 Jalen Milroe, 4 Keelon Russell, 3 (through 5 career games)

seriously, this looks so much like the Big Ten title game in Indy which is one of the most stale environment CFB gets every year. The old Ryan Field had the character college football deserves, especially when they let the grass get extra long to slow down the more athletic teams that came to town
