lol, it's what I do for a living. I have played or coached football for over 30 yrs. When I'm watching a game I can tell what each team is trying to do. Auburn's focus was taking away LaMicheal James and the run which is what they accomplished by holding him to 49 yds. They forced the QB to try and beat them by throwing the ball. He threw for alot of yds but couldn't get the job done. The average yds per rush was Oreg 2.3 and Aub 5.1. That's a dominating difference. Aub had 254 yds rushing and Oregon failed to do what they wanted. Oregon tried to force Cam to do the same. They did a decent job vs Cam but he did bulldoze them for some crucial 3rd downs. If you would have watched the line play instead of following the ball like 99% of most people you could see the difference. Auburn almost blew it by some conservative playcalling in the second half & trying to coast with a lead while Oregon stayed aggressive. I doubt you would know the difference between a 5 technique and a 3 or the B gap and the C or what the weakside linebacker's responsibilities are on a strong side run and you are telling me to get a clue, lol. This thread was to show from past experience that it's not wise to just bet games solely on line movement & ignoring all other factors & nothing more. I got beat before doing the same. It was not to antagonize anyone.
