Podcast: James Franklin: Dumbbell Thief

James Franklin: Dumbbell Thief, and Spring College Football?

It’s now week 4 of the Quarantine Podcast and we’re straying a bit from the stats today to cover some more lighthearted news. Namely, James Franklin has been accused of dumbbell theft (1:13), and Franklin fought back with accusations that a mystery man is dominating the community weight room at his condominium complex. This is probably the only time Franklin has asked someone to spend less time in the gym. Also, we talk about the possibility of playing College Football in the Spring (6:08) and what exactly that would look like after Penn State Athletic Director Sandy Barbour hinted at the option if COVID-19 isn’t under control by the Fall.

Podcast: Quarantine Week 3

LSU Nearly Averaged a 1st Down… on 1st Down, and Washington State Refused to Run the Ball. Like Ever.

We go through our most recent article on Staturdays.com – follow along as we go through each chart here: https://staturdays.com/2020/03/29/the-best-teams-in-college-football-at-getting-first-downs/. We come to the realization that teams should probably pass more on 2nd down (11:40), be more aggressive on 1st and 2nd downs, that LSU practically averaged a 1st down… on 1st down (22:28), and that Washington State probably passes too much (20:00). We also find out that Mike Leach is the new head coach of Mississippi State (that was hard to spell), which then forces us to realize that Ball Coach Joe Moorehead is the OC at Oregon now (that’s a scary thought).
