Yeah, there was that 1 time they cut to him in the 3rd and that look in his eyes screamed if he didn’t have football he’d be a family annihalator. It was legitimately a woah moment.

I got the impression that he encourages his defense to go after the quarterback in almost a headhunting kind of way.  Chambliss took at least one very late full arm to the head in the first half.  And Miami took some questionable shots at other guys that ended in penalties.  I know that everyone, IU included, wants to play physical football…but late hits…shots to the head…that isn’t what IU is about on defense.

There’s no way on God’s green earth that America should be subjected to a NC game with two duck mascots.

So the Miami kid who was DQd for targeting (#6) will miss the first half of the championship game now right.

Yeah he seems like a real hot head. Going off on one of his assistants trying to celebrate, I imagine its not fun working for him.

Heartless ba$tards at the NCAA, trying to deny a kid a 6th year of eligibility and the chance to play until he’s 25 because of his tonsils(heavy sarcasm). What do they expect?

Lawyers incoming.

Go pro and be a 2nd string guy who plays a couple of times a year making $5 - 10 million a year.

This year was, I believe, 6. But the thing with Beck is I think I remember someone saying he classed up out of HS, so he may be sort of age appropriate.

This is an interesting conversation, especially with how lucrative it is now to be even an average college football player. 

Personally (and this may ruffle some feathers), I really don't care much about the age of a player. I care more about a player taking up roster slots / snaps / NIL allocation for 6-7 years when it could be going to developing new talent. For example, I am not at all offended about the 30 year old Aussie punter we got for next year. I do, however, cringe at the 7 year safety we got from Wisconsin. This is nothing against him personally. If CIg and staff want him, I am sure he is a great young man and a fantastic, hard-working culture fit. But it takes away from underclassman development. 

Personally, I am glad Chambliss 6 year was denied. Maybe the NCAA will begin to make this a more regular outcome.
