SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Air Force - Navy was wildly entertaining.
They went toe to toe trading scores. Two dynamic QB's getting it done.
I don't know why Horvath of Navy isn't in the Heisman discussion. C'mon.

Although I'm tired of Dabo and quietly hope that UNC handles Clemson today.
Please don't look at the scoreboard.

Who had a worse Saturday, Belichick & North Carolina or Franklin & Penn State?

Petrino to Belichick: Get one more win, then ditch UNC and come join me in Arkansas.
Don't bring your son. But bring your girlfriend.

My son, the Penn State grad, has informed me that he is going to go to grad school somewhere that doesn't have athletics. By doing so he will remove all of the odor attached to this season's Nittany Lions. Franklin should be asked to leave, preferably at the business end of a well-aimed foot. He can take both of his coordinators with him. I saw an unimaginative offense, verging at times on flat out stupid. I also saw a defense that didn't know how to adjust to what the opponent was doing. Can you not spy on a quarterback who is very capable running through the middle of the field?

Read in The Athletic this morning that Mr. Franklin's buyout right now is ~$50,000,000

LOL. Coach Franklin is sticking around through the end of *that* contract. It's just amazing to me that schools will give out a contract like that. At the very least, there should be some numbers to hit before a coach gets that kind of payout just for getting fired.

Nice to see Mac Jones do well against the Rams on Thurs.
Always glad to see a player do well elsewhere after being put in a bad situation at a previous stop.
After wrecking the Pats, Belichick seems to have picked up right where he left off in Chapel Hill.
