When watching Colorado, two things stood out with the Field Goals. First was, Prime had orange cones to let his QB know how far to go to be in FG range, although not sure why he had three cones. Second, on FGs, and extra points, while the kicker is setting up, only the center is in position. The Guards are on the field goal posts with everyone else to the outside them. I wonder if that is to help the kicker set up his angle. In the NFL, the hashes are on the goal posts. Prime has access to all the pros for input for small things like this, but both of these make sense to be. Just something I've never noticed anywhere else.
Didn't see it, but sounds like a "swinging gate" formation on the field goal? There used to some coaches that lined up like that on every extra point, but then went to the regular formation if the defense lined up right. Don't see it much anymore.
Here is the take home message: the head coach is ACTIVELY INVOLVED in special teams, realizing how important they are.
Sounds like Coach Prime is in tune with his special teams. An underrated luxury to have in a head coach.
Sounds like eye candy which seduces us noobs into thinking he has a 3-d chess strategy in that certain case. He shocked the world and won with as a huge underdog, so now, any damn weird thing he does becomes "genius." IMO.
The last 3 college football games I've been to are Buff games. Got tix to a game in early Nov - can't recall opp - OSU I think. Anyway those last 3 sucked (inc A&M snoozefest). Gotta say, I am kinda looking forward to it now.
