Canes Score 77 in a Shortened Game

[Uman5]

Both teams agree the shorten the 4th quarter to 12 minutes.

Anyone ever heard of this happening before?

 

[4down20]

Yeah, FSU last year against the same exact team.

Good gos ssu is god aweful. The U was trying everthing in their power to kill the clock and not score and ssu still couldnt stop them.

They shoulda matbe stayed DII

 

[BTHOtu]

I've seen them not stop the clock in the 4th quarter before.

that sound right?

Run the clock with out stopping in the fourth.

Not stop the clock on 1st downs, incompletions, shit like that. You know what I mean.

Savannah State football:

Since moving to NCAA Division I - FCS in 2000, the Tigers have compiled a 48-57-0 record as of the 2009–2010 season. Prior to moving to Division I - FCS the team compiled a 108-100-1 record in NCAA Division II (1981–2000), a 15-20-0 record in NCAA Division III (1973–1980) and a 1-1-0 record as a member of the NAIA.

Yeah, they weren't competitive in Division II or Division III either.

Awesome.

Still.scratching my head as to what miami gained from paying for this game. Id get ot if we had idiotic fans like uf yhat would sell out a game vs a turd sandwich. I havnt looked at the attendance #s yet, but it wasnt good. Even the sunshine network didnt pick up the game, so 0 tv money.

And just practing offers more real world experience than that game.

Well, it's a great opportunity for second, third, and fourth-string players to get in some game time. A lot of those guys will do little more than warm benches throughout the season, and its good for them to get some game time, in case they have to step in later.

I don't know what that criteria to move up to fbs...take Georgia st...they have played and lost to 3 different fcs teams...why that's even allowed after moving up to division 1 ill never know...maybe scheduling issues

 

[outofyourmind]

If both coaches agree to run the clock, then it doesn't stop.
I think they can do this at any point in the game if they choose to

Good point, if you're struggling to fill the stands now, what do you gain. At least if you are selling out this game you can justify it financially.

It's a 2 year transition from FCS to FBS. Georgia St is in the 2nd year of it. Next year they likely won't have more than 1 FCS team.

However, a FBS team can schedule as many FCS teams as it wants. But, only 1 of them will count towards the 6 wins needed to be bowl eligible.
