JMU Post-Game Thoughts & Discussion

[Professor Chaos]

Speaking of, does anyone have a link to the radio call highlights from the game?

I get all warm and fuzzy hearing home radio announcers going nuts.

Not sure what the deal was but that video was pretty poorly done. Volume changes in the radio calls from clip to clip and some clips just had video with no audio. Not really their fault but you couldn't even see Hendricks game winning pick on the video since the line judge was directly in from of the camera.

EDIT: Actually this might be why... they just released a new one that's much better done by Adrenaline Sports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUQLoZRuReI. It includes some of Culhane's radio calls.

I tend to agree with kicking the XP. That also kept pressure on NDSU to score again. If we are up 9 I don't think we go for it on 4th down. JMU then has a longer field, and needing two scores the running game would not really be an option on most downs. That's a lot easier to defend against.

Either way, you can argue the merits of both sides, but I don't think you can definitively say that the XP was wrong.

I don’t know much about football except that I like to watch it. IMHO it does not matter how many you are up. In that game, at that time, at that field position and WITH THAT TEAM you go at 4th and 2. Period.

it most definitely is wrong. There's not much more I can say beyond that. Google it and you'll find infinite examples talking about it.

If people choose to believe it's closer than it really is, that's cool, I'm glad you're not coaching! (unless you're coaching JMU)

Here's one example:

According to that chart, with 6:55 left down by 16, it looks like it was statistically insignificant at best, or maybe even leaning towards the XP.

I'll stand by my original assertion.

I'm sure Audit would agree and has the numbers to prove it. But I don't think Entz or most coaches would.

Down by 16? JMU was down by 15? I’m down for them kicking there at that time. Gave them a better chance to extend the game.

I think it is actually “TROT IN THERE BABY”. But close enough.

Yup. “Trot in there baby”.

Good grief, it's been too long of a day, not sure what I was thinking.

They were down by 9 after the touchdown, 15 prior. That chart is a bit hard to read, but still looks like it may be a wash.

He's definitely got a face for radio.

JMU was down by 9 after TD. Go for 2 or 1? Well, looks like it doesn't matter. That was a lot of discussion for nothing.
