Lots of ball yet to be played, but Mike is lookin' good for the trophy.

I think Gabriel will have something to say by the end of the year. May not have the stats but if he takes Oklahoma to the playoffs and Washington doesn’t win any of their big games I don’t think the stats will matter.

Heisman is a joke. It’s not for the best college football player every year, it’s for the best quarterback every year. Whoever awards this should acknowledge this and create a separate award for best non-quarterback. As well, if the best player in college football plays for a team with a mediocre record, they aren’t even considered.

Like I said, the Heisman is a joke.

A Montana man who was mauled by a grizzly bear that bit off the front of his lower jaw is ready to return home after five weeks in a Utah hospital, a physician and his family said Friday during a news conference.

Rudy Noorlander, who answered most questions at the University of Utah hospital by writing on a white board, is looking forward to having a root beer float, reuniting with his Yorkshire terrier Sully, returning to the outdoors and maybe even being able to attend the rivalry football game next month between the Montana Grizzlies and his beloved Montana State Bobcats.

“And he's developed a whole new hatred toward the University of Montana,” his daughter Katelynn Noorlander Davis said, referring to the team's mascot.

Noorlander can speak briefly, but it hurts “a little,” he said. He will need speech therapy, his surgeon, Dr. Hilary McCrary said.

Noorlander didn't want to take questions about the attack because he wants to tell the story himself and write a book. And he'd like to have actor Cole Hauser from the “Yellowstone" television series play his character in the movie adaptation.

Noorlander's adult daughters — Ashley Noorlander and Davis — sat on either side of him during the news conference, recounting the ups and downs
 

Kinda puts @5foulsto shame as far as his Montana State fandom 😛😛🤪

Utah is going to give us a rule change on the defensive substitution rule me thinks.

USC was forced to use a timeout because Utah was given time to sub after a USC sub. The USC sub was complete with over 20 seconds on the play clock and Utah took that long (big d lineman came in very slowly, other d lineman waited to start leaving until the new player had come to his spot on the line).

Genius move by Utah, but that shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Give the defense ten seconds and if they’re not done the offense can snap the ball.

Agreed. There should be a time limit for defense to make their sub or a delay of game 5 yd penalty.

ESPN is now out with the longform

[QUOTE]

Connor Stalions, the suspended Michigan staffer at the center of the NCAA's sign-stealing probe, purchased tickets in his own name for more than 30 games over the last three years at 11 different Big Ten schools, sources at 11 different league schools told ESPN.

 

The scope of the University of Michigan's alleged sign-stealing operation includes both video evidence of electronics prohibited by the NCAA to steal signs and a significant paper trail, sources told ESPN. Stalions forwarded the tickets he bought to at least three different people in different areas of the country, sources say, which hints at the breadth of the operation.

 

The NCAA is expected to receive video evidence this week of illegal technology used in scouting tied to tickets purchased by Stalions, according to sources. An opposing Big Ten school looked up in-stadium surveillance video from a game earlier this year, and sources said the person in the seat of the ticket purchased by Stalions held his smart phone up and appeared to film the home team's sideline the entire game

[QUOTE]

Sources confirmed to ESPN that Stalions purchased tickets on both sides of the stadium -- across from each bench -- for Ohio State's game with Penn State on Saturday. Michigan plays both teams in upcoming weeks. According to sources, the tickets purchased by Stalions were not used on Saturday. Stalions' name emerged publicly in an ESPN story on Friday. He was suspended with pay by Michigan.

 

None of the tickets that the 11 schools told ESPN about involved Michigan as an opponent, per sources. The games involved either one or both of the teams that the Wolverines were playing later that year, according to sources.

 

Stalions did not respond to ESPN's request for comment. Michigan did not return multiple requests for comment by phone and text.

 

Michigan on Monday reiterated that it is unable to comment further due to the ongoing investigation.

 

Michigan is now ranked No. 2 in the AP poll, looking for its third consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff and is the current betting favorite to win the national title.

 

Sources indicated that Stalions forwarded tickets to at least three other individuals, with the ticket transfer showing up through ticket data tracking. Those tickets were used to get in the game by individuals other than Stalions, including the one in the video the NCAA is expected to receive.

 

Sources told ESPN last week of an "elaborate" scouting system, and that appears to be emerging less than a week after Yahoo Sports first reported that the NCAA was investigating Michigan's scouting. Stalions often purchased the tickets with his own credit card, according to sources. The sources added that tickets at multiple venues were bought via the online retailers like StubHub or SeatGeek.

 

The ticket purchases fall into a seat location pattern -- somewhere around the 45-yard line and raised up enough for a clear view of the opposite sideline.

 

One source told ESPN Stalions bought tickets to five different games at that school over the past three years. Another said it was four games over the past two years. A third source said it was nine games over the last three years. Some of the purchases were single tickets, others were for multiple people and sometimes seats were bought on both sides of the stadium near midfield.
