Toward the very last of the Iowa game, a North Texas player left the game and the TV announcers said he was being removed because of a "medical _________".  I made a point to remember this call and promptly forgot it.  Does anyone recall this announcement by the TV guys ?

It was Khairi Muhammad if I am remembering correctly. Does college football have booth initiated taking a player out for concussion?

From what I saw and heard in the stands....   No facts other than my perception.  

There was a stoppage in play and a trainer went on the field and it looked like was taping his arm or hand (possibly to stop some bleeding?).  The ref saw it and said that it was an inured player and he had to leave the game for a play, he further said that since it was on the defense that there would be no run off of time.

Off subject, but related to the last 2 minutes of the game:

I don't really understand taking the timeouts when Iowa was most likely content to just run out the clock and leave with a 24-14 win.  No one has to explain to me why they did it, I understand, guess I just don't really agree.  Thoughts?

I really thought the same thing.  Then I reconsidered, Littrell was still thinking of some miracle to win the game.  Can't fault a coach for that.

Can't disagree.

Coaching to give his team a chance to get the ball back and try and score.  I imagine he could care less about the score in that situation.

I get it and I realize I'm nitpicking here.   I just felt it was obvious that Iowa was willing to let the clock run out.  Had they been really trying to score, I would be 100% behind SL.  As it played out, I wouldn't have blamed Iowa for punching it in again to make it 38-14.  Iowa's perspective being: "You don't want to let us run out the clock then we won't." 

Again, I get it that he showed his players he believed in them and was doing everything in his power to give them a chance to win the game.   But the fan in me sure likes the looks of 24-14 better than 31-14.

I understand.  Personally, I was thinking the same thing, but understood what SL was trying to do.

I like coaching for a miracle come back a LOT better than "Remember our check when you look at the scoreboard." I don't think we ever stopped trying to win, at least we weren't obvious about it. And our players will learn the never quit attitude which is going to help in close games both later this season and years from now.

Ferentz has been around for a LONG TIME.   He knew what was going on (understanding Littrell's effort/instilling "no quit" mentality for his team), and isn't a jerk.

      Where are they now?

      Sincere question…Does anyone think Chandler Rogers is enrolled at CAL for no longer than a year and already qualifies for a degree ? A check, maybe. But I can’t imagine anyone graduating from anywhere, as mobile as he has been in college, in one year.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      On the telecast, they made if sound like that was part of his game and not so much his work in the paint. He wasn't terrible, but his footwork was not impressive to me. May be the rust from not being on the floor. The only two players that didn't see the floor were Cotton and Smith. I am assuming Cotton is hurt and Smith just isn't quite ready. It would be nice to see Lorient and Sissoko take him under their wing and help develop him. Regarding this team: Lorient (Jr.): Man, he has exceeded all expectations and just seems to be getting better and better. Hope we can keep him. Massie (Sr.) and Floyd (Sr.): Does either qualify for an extra year or is this it? Jossell (Sr): Love his game. I am assuming he is done after this year since this is his 5th season. Our most confident shooter at this time. Wright (Sr.): Considering this is his 5th year to play, I guess he is a one and done. Very different from what I expected. Pretty shot, but not athletic enough to create his own shot off the dribble. Stays within his abilities and quietly puts up numbers. Mason (Fr.): He needs minutes. This kid could be something really special. Cotton (R-Fr): Really want to see more of his game. Probably currently a level below Mason, but has the ability to be a double figure scorer. Stone (Sr): Happy to see him get the "and one" last night. That play really exemplifies his game. His hustle on the defensive end led to that play. Really wish he could have found his stroke the last few years, because I love his grit. He tries so hard and is Mean Green through and through.
