College Football Week 17 - Auburn QB Bo Nix transfers to Oregon

 

College Football Week 17 – Auburn QB Bo Nix transfers to Oregon

Coaching carousel comes to an end, as the first of the bowl games begin

In your wildest of dreams would you ever have imagined that when the 2021 season was over, Lincoln Riley would be the coach of USC and Brian Kelly would be the coach of LSU?

I don’t think so.

The coaching carousel came to an end last week when the last remaining school still looking for a coach found its man. Temple hired Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton to be the Owls next coach. Drayton spent time in Philadelphia when he was the running backs coach at Penn and Villanova in the mid and late 1990s. Since 2000, Drayton has been the running backs coach at a number of schools – Bowling Green, Mississippi State, Florida, Tennessee, Syracuse, Ohio State and Texas. That’s quite a resume.

I say the coaching carousel came to an end. That’s assuming no head coaches get plucked by the NFL in the next three weeks.

College football’s coaching carousel is always interesting, even intriguing, every year, but this year it was the strangest and craziest coaching carousel ever. Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly were just part of it.

There was the weird situation in Miami where the Hurricanes were trying to hire a new coach before firing their existing coach. Miami, who had just fired its athletic director, was actively seeking the employment of Oregon coach Mario Cristobal, while existing coach Manny Diaz was still performing his coaching duties.

Miami’s position was if Cristobal accepts the job offer, then Diaz will be fired. But if Cristobal doesn’t accept the offer, then Diaz will be retained for another season. How crazy is that? As we now know, Cristobal became Miami’s coach and Diaz was fired.

More so this season than in previous seasons, several coaches – seven – were fired long before the season was over. Is this the new trend? Or was this season unique? Not that this hasn’t happened before. But usually it’s just one or two coaches.

Last season – 2020 – may have set the record when Southern Miss coach Jay Hopson got fired after the first game of the season. Although, actually, Alabama probably holds the record. In 2003, the Crimson Tide fired coach Mike Price before the season began. But those incidents are rare.

This season, with six games remaining to be played, LSU announced that coach Ed Oregeron would be terminated at the end of the season. Until that time, he would continue to coach the Tigers, and he did. Oregeron, however, is not coaching LSU in its bowl game.

USC fired Clay Helton early in the season. Then before the season was over, Georgia Southern fired Chad Lunsford and shortly afterward hired Helton. Helton was the only fired coach to be hired as a head coach at another school.

Then there were a few surprises. Surprises you didn’t expect when the season began. Florida fired Dan Mullen, TCU fired Gary Patterson, and Colorado State fired Steve Addazio. Addazio was just in his second season. Patterson was fired after 21 seasons at TCU.

Washington State coach Nick Rolovich was fired for refusing to get vaccinated. He was just in his second season. Also fired after only two seasons was Washington coach Jimmy Lake.

There were the surprise hirings. After turning down offers for several years, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables took the Oklahoma job. Connecticut landed Jim Mora. Out of the blue, Oregon hired Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning. Duke went big time, hiring Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko. And reviving a blast from the past, FIU hired Mike MacIntyre. MacIntyre is a former successful head coach at San Jose State and Colorado. Most recently, MacIntyre had been the defensive coordinator at Ole Miss (2019) and Memphis (2020-2021).

Two hires are returning for a second stint. Jeff Tedford came out of retirement to take the job at Fresno State. Tedford is a previous head coach at Fresno State. And Arizona defensive coordinator Don Brown is returning to Massachusetts for his second tenure as a head coach of the Minutemen.

A handful of coaches began the season on the hot seat, didn’t perform well, but somehow escaped the axe. These survivors are Dino Babers – Syracuse (5-7), Scott Frost – Nebraska (3-9), Jake Spavital – Texas State (4-8), Scott Loeffler – Bowling Green (4-8) and Willie Taggert – Florida Atlantic (5-7).

In all, 20 coaches were fired this season. Seven head coaches left their position for the same job at another school. And Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall stepped down. Not sure if he was pressured or not. Twenty-eight schools will have new head coaches next season.

And as the coaching carousel came to an end, it was time for the bowl games to begin.

They say it’s better in the Bahamas and it certainly was for Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders and Toledo kicked off the 2021 bowl season Friday afternoon in the Bahamas Bowl. Middle Tennessee rallied from a 17-14 halftime deficit to beat Toledo, 31-17.

Opening day of the bowl season turned out to be a bad day for the Mid-American Conference. In the second game on Friday, Northern Illinois fell to Coastal Carolina in the Cure Bowl. The Chanticleers rallied from a 41-33 fourth quarter deficit to down NIU, 47-41.

The losses by Toledo and Northern Illinois gave the MAC a dismal 0-2 start in the 2021 bowl season.   

In the first bowl game on Saturday, two new FBS passing records were established by Western Kentucky quarterback Bailey Zappe. Zappe made history in the Hilltoppers 59-38 win over Appalachian State in the Boca Raton Bowl. He set new records for single-season passing yards and single-season touchdown passes.

Zappe finished the season passing for 5,977 yards and 62 touchdown passes. He topped the previous mark of 5,833 passing yards that was set by Texas Tech’s B.J. Symons in 2003. And he surpassed the previous mark of 60 touchdown passes that was set by LSU’s Joe Burrow in 2019.

UTEP gave Fresno State more than the Bulldogs bargained for in the New Mexico Bowl. Fresno State was heavily favored, but UTEP kept hanging around, giving the Bulldogs a scare. Fresno State led 19-17 at halftime and 26-24 midway through the fourth quarter. A field goal and a safety in the final nine minutes of the game gave the Bulldogs some breathing room, as Fresno State hung on to beat UTEP, 31-24.

The first real stunner of the bowl season occurred in the next game on Saturday. UAB knocked off 13th ranked BYU, 31-28, in the Independence Bowl. And everyone thought BYU deserved a more formidable opponent in its bowl game. Well, obviously, UAB decided to become a formidable opponent. The Blazers were fired up!

It continues to be a rough start for the Mid-American Conference, and this one was really rough. The MAC fell to 0-3, as Liberty smashed Eastern Michigan, 56-20, in the Lending Tree Bowl. It was worse than it looks. Early in the fourth quarter, the score was 56-10. Liberty became charitable late in the fourth quarter.

I like this new LA Bowl. It was played in the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The broadcast team of Greg McElroy and Joe Tessitore provided a polished presentation. Oh, and by the way, Utah State upset Oregon State, 24-13, in the inaugural LA Bowl. What an outstanding job first-year Utah State coach Blake Anderson did with the Aggies this season. Utah State finished 11-3.

The first week of bowl games came to a close with the New Orleans Bowl. Louisiana extended its winning streak to 13 games – tied with Cincinnati for the longest winning streak in the country. The Rajin’ Cajuns beat Marshall, 36-21.

Eight bowl games played and 34 to go. From a conference perspective, the MWC is off to the best start at 2-0. The MAC is looking bleak at 0-3. The Sun Belt is 2-1 and C-USA is 3-2, while the Pac-12 is 0-1. The Independents are 1-1. Five conferences – the AAC, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten and the SEC – have yet to play a bowl game.  

Eight more bowls are scheduled this week. The best of the bunch should be Missouri-Army in the Armed Forces Bowl on Wednesday, and Florida-UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl on Thursday.

In some other news, former UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel is transferring to UCLA. Gabriel suffered a season-ending injury in UCF’s third game this season….  Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez is transferring to Kansas State….  LSU quarterback Max Johnson is transferring to Texas A&M….  Auburn quarterback Bo Nix is transferring to Oregon.

Happy Holidays……………………Merry Christmas…………………….Seasons Greetings

Touchdown Tom

December 20, 2021

 

Review of the First Week of Bowls

Raiders sabotage the Rockets (in the Bahamas Bowl) – Middle Tennessee 31, Toledo 24 (Touchdown Tom said: Toledo 29, Middle Tennessee 16). Toledo came to the game with an attitude problem – a bad attitude. The Rockets had 12 penalties for 119 yards. The Rockets also came to the game with a bad quarterback – Dequan Finn. They called him a dual-threat quarterback, but the only thing he was a threat too was his own team. Finn only completed 46% of his passes and tossed an interception. On the positive side for Toledo, running aback Bryant Koback rushed for 126 yards, averaging 7 yards a carry. Middle Tennessee quarterback Nick Vattiato was 25-of-35, passing for 270 yards. Toledo actually led at halftime, 17-14. The third quarter was scoreless. Middle Tennessee scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and went up 31-17. The Blue Raiders dominated the clock, possessing the ball for 33:44. Attendance in Nassau: 13,596

Roosters rule (in the Cure Bowl) – Coastal Carolina 47, Northern Illinois 41 (Touchdown Tom said: Coastal Carolina 30, Northern Illinois 20). If you like offense, this game was your cup of tea. It was full of offense. The two teams combined for 1,030 total yards. Coastal Carolina had the passing yards with 315 and Northern Illinois had the rushing yards with 335. NIU also controlled ball possession for an amazing 39:20. But the Huskies couldn’t find a way to win. The lead in the game changed hands no less than 7 times. The last time was when the Chanticleers went up 47-41 with 6:40 on the clock in the fourth quarter. The game ended with NIU on the Coastal Carolina goal line, desperately trying to score. But the Huskies came up short. Attendance in Orlando: 9,784

The App got Zapped (in the Boca Raton Bowl) – Western Kentucky 59, Appalachian State 38 (Touchdown Tom said: Appalachian State 30, Western Kentucky 28). Appalachian State’s defense couldn’t cope with the passing of WKU quarterback Bailey Zappe. Zappe was 33-of-47, passing for 422 yards and six touchdowns. To add insult to injury, Hilltoppers’ running back Noah Whittington rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown. The game was tight throughout the first half. WKU led at the break, 31-24. But in the third quarter, the Hilltoppers extended their lead to 48-24 and to 59-31 in the fourth quarter. App State quarterback Chase Brice passed for 317 yards and four touchdowns. He also tossed an interception. The two teams combined for 1,236 total yards. App State suffered from four turnovers. Attendance in Boca Raton: 15,429

Miners were minor (in the New Mexico Bowl) – Fresno State 31, UTEP 24 (Touchdown Tom said: Fresno State 33, UTEP 23). Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener didn’t live up to his expectations, but the Bulldogs running back Jordan Mims exceeded his. Mims rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns. That was the difference in the game, as UTEP had no running game. Fresno State had 181 rushing yards to 95 yards for UTEP. The Bulldogs had 25 first downs to 16 for the Miners. And Fresno State possessed the ball for 34:43. Attendance in Albuquerque: 16,422

Overrated (in the Independence Bowl) – UAB 31, BYU 28 (Touchdown Tom said: BYU 34, UAB 20). Apparently, UAB came to play and BYU didn’t know how to respond. The game was close throughout. It was tied twice at 14-14in the second quarter and 21-21 in the third quarter. Midway through the fourth quarter, BYU led 28-24. UAB retook the lead with 6:17 to go in the game and held on to win. UAB running back DeWayne McBride rushed for 183 yards. BYU running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for 192 yards. UAB quarterback Dylan Hopkins was 19-of-23, passing for 189 yards and three touchdowns. The teams were reasonably even-matched in the statistics. But UAB played ball control, maintaining possession for 35:27. Attendance in Shreveport: 26,276

Screaming Eagles (in the Lending Tree Bowl) – Liberty 56, Eastern Michigan 20 (Touchdown Tom said: Liberty 33, Eastern Michigan 26). It was obvious that Liberty came to play and Eastern Michigan didn’t. At halftime, the score was 33-10. At the end of three quarters, the score was 49-10. From late in the first quarter to early in the fourth quarter, Liberty scored 46 unanswered points. Liberty quarterback Malik Willis passed for 231 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 58 yards and two more touchdowns. Liberty racked up 528 total yards. The Flames improved to 3-0 in bowl games. Attendance in Mobile: 15,186

Aggies hang their Beaver pelts (in the LA Bowl) – Utah State 24, Oregon State 13 (Touchdown Tom said: Oregon State 33, Utah State 28). Midway through the second quarter, Oregon State led 10-7. But from late in the second quarter to late in the third quarter, Utah State scored 17 unanswered points. Utah State running back Calvin Tyler rushed for 120 yards. There were five turnovers in the game – three by Utah State and two by Oregon State. Utah State won the game with third-string quarterback Cooper Legas. Legas came off the bench in the first quarter when starting quarterback Logan Bonner suffered a knee injury. Attendance in Los Angeles: 29,896

The Cajuns were Rajin’ (in the New Orleans Bowl) – Louisiana 36, Marshall 21 (Touchdown Tom said: Louisiana 25, Marshall 24). This was a close game for three quarters. Louisiana led 10-7 after the first quarter. The Rajin’ Cajuns were up 16-14 at halftime. Marshall was winning 21-16 at the end of three. But the fourth quarter totally belonged to Louisiana. The Cajuns outscored the Herd 20-0, as Marshall simply ran out of gas. Louisiana quarterback Levi Lewis passed for 270 yards and one touchdown and rushed for another 74 yards. Marshall only had 286 total yards, only had 99 passing yards and only possessed the ball for 22:34. The only bright spot for Marshall was the rushing of Rasheen Ali. Ali rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns. Attendance in New Orleans: 21,642

Quotes of the Week

“It’s chaos right now. Tampering galore. Adults manipulating young men. Education is like the last thing now,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, on the transfer portal.

“Anyone who wants to write a speculative piece today about ‘Where will Urban end up,?’ the answer is nowhere. This man is dead professionally and he did it to himself. You can talk about the most spectacular flameout in NFL or coaching history, but it was easily predictable.” SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum on Urban Meyer.

“There is no chance that Urban Meyer coaches again,” SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum.

“To coach defense at Penn State, to coach linebackers at Penn State, that’s uncommon. People work in this profession their entire lives and wish they had the chance to coach here, and especially to coach defense and linebackers,” Manny Diaz, on becoming Penn State’s new defensive coordinator.

 

Touchdown Tom’s Predictions for This Week’s Bowl Games

Old Dominion (6-6) vs. Tulsa (6-6) – (C-USA vs. AAC) (Myrtle Beach BowlConway, South Carolina) –2:30 pm ET, Monday, ESPN – Old Dominion had an amazing ending to its season. The Monarchs began the season at 1-6. Then they proceeded to win their last five games. ODU is not particularly good on offense or defense. The Monarchs leading rusher, Blake Watson, did manage to rush for 1,035 yards. Similar to Old Dominion, Tulsa began its season at 1-4. With three weeks to go in the season, the Golden Tornadoes were 3-6. Then they won three-straight games. Their best wins were over Memphis and SMU. Tulsa is a little better on offense than defense, but not great on either one. Tulsa quarterback Davis Brin did pass for 2,957 yards. It’s a golden storm – Tulsa 27, Old Dominion 19.

Kent State (7-6) vs. Wyoming (6-6) – (MAC vs. MWC) (Famous Idaho Potato BowlBoise, Idaho) – 3:30 pm ET, Tuesday, ESPN – Kent State’s offense and defense are like two entirely different teams. On offense, the Golden Flashes are 4th in the country in rushing yards per game and 8th in the country in total yards per game. They average 32.6 points a game. Then there’s the defense. In all of the major defensive stats, Kent State ranks anywhere from 106th at best (rushing yards allowed) to 123rd at worst (passing yards allowed). The Flashes gave up 35.1 points a game (119th). Quarterback Dustin Crum passed for 2,922 yards, completing 64.2% of his passes. Kent’s leading rusher, Marquez Cooper, rushed for 1,080 yards. A typical Kent State game was beating Buffalo, 48-38, losing to Western Michigan, 64-31, beating Northern Illinois, 52-47, and beating Miami (Ohio), 48-47. Wyoming began the season at 4-0. Then the Cowboys lost 6 of their next 8 games. Wyoming is weak on offense, except for rushing. They only average 23.2 points a game. The Cowboys are weak on defense, except for passing yards allowed. They gave up 22.5 points a game. Running back Xazavian Valladay is Wyoming’s best hope. He rushed for 984 yards. Cowboys get Flashed – Kent State 33, Wyoming 32.  

UTSA (12-1) vs. San Diego State (11-2) – (C-USA vs. MWC) – (Frisco BowlFrisco, Texas) – 7:30 pm ET, Tuesday, ESPN) – One of the more exciting teams in the country, UTSA had an outstanding season. The Roadrunners were 12-0 before they lost their first game. They went on to win the C-USA championship game. UTSA has a solid offense – running and passing. Running back Sincere McCormick rushed for 1,479 yards. He was the 5th leading rusher in the country. The Roadrunners have a good quarterback too. He is Frank Harris. Harris passed for 2,906 yards, completing 66.4% of his passes. He threw 25 touchdown passes and only had five interceptions. UTSA averaged 37.8 points a game – 12th best in the country. On defense, they held opponents to 23.6 points a game. San Diego State had a good season too. But the Aztecs relied on their defense. The Aztec offense was terrible. The defense was 2nd in the country in rushing yards allowed. San Diego State began the season 7-0, then finished winning four of their final six games. They held opponents to 19.5 points a game on defense. The Roadrunners run out of road – San Diego State 23, UTSA 22.

Army (8-4) vs. Missouri (6-6) – (Ind. vs. SEC) – (Armed Forces BowlFort Worth, Texas) – 8 pm ET, Wednesday, ESPN – With the loss to Navy, Army’s season ended on a sour note. The Cadets can sweeten that ending with a win over Missouri. Army of course will attack Missouri with its triple option running game. The Cadets are 2nd in the country in rushing yards per game. Army averages 33.6 yards a game. The Black Knights play pretty good defense too, especially against the run. The defense gives up 22.3 points a game. Missouri was an up-and-down team throughout the season. The Tigers have a good running back in Tyler Badie. Badie rushed for 1,612 yards. Missouri also has a decent quarterback in Connor Bazelak. He passed for 2540 yards, completing 65.2% of his throws. Aside from those two, Missouri is just average on offense. The Tigers are awful on defense. Mizzou averaged 29.7 points a game on offense, while giving up 34.7 points a game on defense. The Cadets retreat – Missouri 24, Army 20

North Texas (6-6) vs. Miami (Ohio) (6-6) – (C-USA vs. MAC) – (Frisco Football ClassicFrisco, Texas) – 3:30 pm ET, Thursday, ESPN – This is the bowl that was added for this season only to accommodate all 83 bowl eligible teams. It will be like a home game for North Texas. The highlight of the season for North Texas came on November 27. That’s when the Mean Green beat UTSA. That was the only time UTSA lost all season. North Texas began the season on a sour note, going 1-6. Then the Mean Green won five-straight to finish the season. Believe it or not, North Texas is the 3rd best rushing team in the country, averaging 246 yards per game. Aside from that, the Mean Green are pretty dismal on offense. They are dismal on defense too. They gave up 27.5 points a game on defense. On offense, they averaged 28.6 points a game. North Texas has a good running back in DeAndre Torrey. He rushed for 1,214 yards. Miami’s offense and defense are pretty bleak. They averaged 29.1 points a game on offense and gave up 23.8 points a game on defense. The Red Hawks have a decent quarterback in Brett Gabbert. He passed for 2,418 yards. The running game was one of the worst in the country. The Mean turns the Hawk Green – North Texas 28, Miami (Ohio) 26.

UCF (8-4) vs. Florida (6-6) – (AAC vs. SEC) – (Gasparilla BowlTampa, Florida) – 7 pm ET, Thursday, ESPN – What an ideal matchup. UCF and coach Gus Malzahn will be fired up. Not sure how Florida will respond to the game. In spite of losing its quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third game of the season, UCF came out pretty good. The Knights finished in third place in the AAC – behind Cincinnati and Houston. UCF is just average on offense and defense. Florida was a strange team in 2021 – very strange. The Gators were supposed to be challengers to Georgia in the SEC East. Instead, they finished next to last in the SEC East. Only Vanderbilt was worse. Florida started out good at 3-1. The one loss was by two points to Alabama. Then the bottom fell out and Florida went 3-5 in its final eight games. Florida is pretty good on offense. The Gators averaged 31.8 points a game. Quarterback Emory Jones passed for 2,562 yards, completing 67.6% of his passes. Interestingly, Jones was also Florida’s leading rusher with 606 yards. On defense, Florida was average to below average. Florida gave up 28.6 points a game. Albert turns off the Knights’ lights – Florida 31, UCF 26.  

Memphis (6-6) vs. Hawaii (6-7) – (AAC vs. MWC) (Hawaii BowlHonolulu, Hawaii) – 8 pm ET, Friday, ESPN – Memphis finished the season about where they were expected to finish – so-so, mediocre. The Tigers won their first three games, including a win over Mississippi State. Then they lost six of their remaining nine games. Granted, four of their six losses were by a total of 13 points. Memphis lost those four games by six points or less. The Tigers have a good offense but a weak defense. They averaged 30.1 points a game, but gave up 29.2 points a game. On offense they have a good quarterback in Seth Henigan. He passed for 3,322 yards. Hawaii is just average on offense and even weaker on defense. The Rainbow Warriors average 28.8 points a game, but give up 31.4 points a game. Hawaii won its last two games of the season to improve from 4-7 to 6-7. The Warriors do have a gifted quarterback in Chevan Cordeiro. He passed for 2,793 yards. News reports say the Hawaii players want their coach fired. That’s going to make for an interesting game. The Tigers soil the Rainbow – Memphis 30, Hawaii 24.

Georgia State (7-5) vs. Ball State (6-6) – (Sun Belt vs. MAC) – (Camellia BowlMontgomery, Alabama) – 2:30 pm ET, Saturday, ESPN – Georgia State is 8th in the country in rushing yards. Aside from that fact, their offense sucks. The Panthers average 26.2 points a game. Georgia State’s defense is worse. The Panthers gave up 27.7 points a game. The Panthers are an improving team. They began the season at 1-4. They finished it a 6-1. Currently they are on a three-game winning streak. Ball State has a terrible offense and a terrible defense. The Cardinals averaged 24.4 points a game on offense and gave up 26.5 points a game on defense. Somehow they managed to have a 6-6 season. Ball State’s best win was over Army, 28-16. Go figure. Panthers deflate the Ball – Georgia State 30, Ball State 28.

Touchdown Tom
