News and Notes and Broadcast Assignments by Rudy Martzke (Oct 23- 27, 2024 edition)

 

Top analysis: CBS' Brock Vereen shares that the initial defender making contact may not always get credit for a tackle, but it's their willingness to sacrifice themselves to slow down the defender that allows success and shows true team spirit.

Top analysis: CBS' Brock Vereen shares that Liberty runs a check with me offense, meaning the OC doesn't replay a call to the sideline until the formation has been set up so he can see defensive vulnerabilities.

Top call: CBS' Jason Knapp, "That gold mouthpiece could be a sign of winning aspirations. Winless, but not hopeless. Kennesaw State is looking for a breakthrough."

Top analysis: CBS' Brock Vereen shared that most pass completions come down to ball placement. It isn't dependent on a WR's excellence. It's determined by the QB's accuracy and willingness to take a risk.

Top stat: CBS' Jason Knapp shared that Liberty averages 8-10 penalties a game for 90+ yards. Most of the penalties result in lost scoring opportunities, meaning games are always a lot closer than they should be.

Top information: CBS' Jason Knapp shares that part of Liberty's penalty problems are because of the inconsistency in playing regularly. They are playing only their 2nd game in the last 25 days, meaning their lines don't get to test themselves against others.

Top stat: ESPN's Clay Matvick shared that one of Middle Tennessee's problems is they've scored only 18 points in the 4th through 7 games, worst in the FBS.

Top analysis: ESPN's Steve Addazio shared that running the clock with the lead isn't meant to just run the clock. It's also meant to keep your opponent on the field longer because the time clock goes 10-15 seconds more per play.

Top analysis: ESPN's Steve Addazio shares that players who have excellent work ethics aren't doing so solely to improve their skills. Instead they also use it to gain the respect of their teammates and help each other build up confidence.

Top analysis: ESPN's Steve Addazio shared that a disadvantage to letting your D tire out is it makes their running coverage loosen on the outside and allows big runs to take place.

Top stat: ESPN's Jay Alter shared that Kickers attempting kicks at Old Dominion are only 60% because unexpected wind gusts alter the kicks trajectory.

Top analysis: ESPN's Rocky Boiman shared that a scrambling QB isn't dangerous because of his ability to run and gain yards. Instead his ability to scramble draws defenders up towards him and leaves receivers open for big plays.

Top stat: ESPN's Jay Alter shared that 17 of Old Dominion's last 21 games have ended in 1 score games.

Best Timing Award: Amazon’s Al Michaels, noting that Vikings WR Justin Jefferson had been quiet in the 3rd Quarter, immediately catches two consecutive balls including a spectacular one handed catch.

Class act: Amazon paid homage to Fernando Valenzuela, after which Al Michaels recalled the World Series game he called in 1981 and the incredible play of Valenzuela.

Top Statement: Amazon's Al Michaels, "Most people think playing on Thursday is a disadvantage, but those same people forget you get a mini-bye. You have 10 days before the next game and plenty of time to get healthy."

Top Analysis: Amazon's Kirk Herbstreit said most people consider a loss to the Rams bad since they were 1-4 going into their bye, but they also forget you don't know who'll be coming back from injury for certain until gametime. The result- 106 yds for Puka.

Top analysis: ESPN's Louis Riddick shared that an offensive line needs both depth and flexibility to be successful since both determine who you end up blocking throughout.

Top analysis: ESPN's Brock Osweiler shared that a QB needs confidence because it allows them to keep attempting big plays even if 1 or 2 result in losses. It means they're always willing to compete.

Top analysis: ESPN's Mike Couzens shared an advantage to transferring from a JC is at a JC you learn how to diagnose and breakdown your opponents formations.

Top analysis: ESPN's Mike Couzens stated that a disadvantage to the bend but don't break D is it leaves you limited time on offense and forces you into a lot of quick plays.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner shared that when a QB struggles with turnovers, it is often attributed to footwork. Improving the footwork needs to be the primary focus at practice with as many gambling scenarios as possible to rebuild confidence.

Top call: Fox Sports Tim Brando, "Savion, look at that nimble footing. Spin baby spin, and take it in."

Best exchange: Fox Sports Devin Gardner, "There's an old adage that nothing good happens on a rekick, and it's usually for the kicking team."
Brando, "Kick is away, and it's even worse than the first. In all my years of broadcasting I'd never heard that adage, but it proves to be true this time. "

Top analysis: Fox Sports Tim Brando shared that the key to any successful trick play is you have to have confidence in the holder. Failure to have the confidence often leads to plays imploding.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner shared that TCU's record has largely been caused because of tipped interceptions. On the next play Tech picked the ball after a defender tipped the ball above the receivers head.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner shared that most scoring calls that don't get reversed are because most cameras don't have a straight down the line shot and they're not supposed to piece together two different shots to determine the call.

Funniest line: Fox Sports Mike Pereira, "The biggest misdemeanor is Fox calling the early game Big Noon kickoff. It's not Big Noon in LA. It's the Big 9 AM."

Top analysis: ESPN's Brock Osweiler shared that UCF's struggles this season have been mostly because while they accumulate tons of rushing yards in the 1st Half, the large deficits have caused them to focus on passing in the 2nd Half, leading to interceptions.

Top analysis: ESPN's Brock Osweiler shared the key to playoff football success us control the football, play good defense, and have a few plays go your way to break it open.

Top stat: ESPN's Mike Couzens shared that with 4 minutes left in the 4th BYU had run the ball 45 times (doesn't include passes). UCF had only snapped the ball 43 times.

Top analysis: ESPN's Brock Osweiler shared Kalani Sitake's coaching style us don't ride with the highs and fall with the lows. Instead treat every play equally in the middle.

Top stat: ESPN's Tom Hart shared that the Vanderbilt/Texas game was the smallest crowd Texas had played in front of since 1995. Due to stadium renovations only around 29,000 fans were allowed to attend. 

Best Timing Award: ESPN's Tom Hart called for Texas to target Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers to prevent a touchdown. The next play was an option pitch to Stowers who was tackled for a loss because Texas targeted him. 

Funniest comment: ESPN's Tom Hart, while discussing Vanderbilt DL Yilanan Ouattara's limited playing career before college (6 games), "He has more regattas than football games!"

Top information: ESPN's Dave Pasch shared that Miami QB Cam Rising had only a 1-star rating after his Senior season because of the offense ran his senior year, but it was quickly adjusted to 4-star after his performances at UIW as a Freshman.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek shared that screen passes make it more difficult to tackle receivers because the angles make blocking lanes form easier and allow receivers to have more cutting angles than going straight ahead.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek shared that a defense finds the ability to not get off blocks demoralizing because it often leads to long drives and very few turnovers causing offenses to become one dimensional when they have to rally.

Best timing Award: After ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek shared that a 3rd and 20 conversion is demoralizing because it causes teams to start doubting the ability to stop the opposition Miami scrambled 18 yards for a TD to go up 13-0.

Say what?: The ESPN bottom line stated BYU is only the 2nd team since 1990 to start 8-0 despite being underdogs in 4 games. However BYU has been underdogs in 7 of their games.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek shared that Miami QB Cam Ward is difficult to tackle not because he stretched the sideline, but instead his ability to drop back further and get the ball to the sidelines makes him difficult to sack solo.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek shared that Miami has the highest 3rd Down percentage in CFB because of their ability to stretch the field and pound it straight up the middle. It's led to a lot of short distance conversions.

Top analysis: ESPN's Tom Luginbill shared a key indicator of a good QB is they don't take too many risky throws. Instead they make a throw where only a receiver can catch it or it'll become an incompletion. They always keep scoring opportunities alive.

Top analysis: ESPN's Tom Luginbill shared a lot of times when a QB looks like they've taken some power off a throw, it occurs because they're having to rely solely on arm strength instead of finesse.

Top analysis: BTN's Jake Butt shared the key to a successful runner is they always have the ability to make it through multiple tackles. It's usually the fourth of fifth man or team tackling that brings them down because they have too much strength for most linemen.

Top analysis: BTN's Jake Butt shared that what makes a rivalry game so intense isn't that each team is equal or even the fanbase. Instead it's there's always 1 or 2 players who step up who weren't expected, keep it competitive, and allow it to be something special.

Top analysis: MavsTV's Devin Harris described Phoenix's arena as a getting buckets arena. The lower defense played always causes teams to scramble back and forth and get buckets, with stars being rewarded the most.

Top reporting: MavsTV reporter Lesley McCaslin shared that Kyrie Irving has a different focus this season. He's no longer focused on just scoring. Instead he's focused on improving his defense and helping his teammates do the same.

Top comment: MavsTV's Mark Followill, "Something to remember when you're a referee is no one likes you. Fans dislike calls against their teams, coaches dislike late calls, and players dislike being accused. You'll always be complained about."

Top analysis: MavsTV's Mark Followill pointed out that most fans don't acknowledge that when your hand is in contact with the ball, it is considered part of the ball which is why a lot of penalty calls can be delayed.

Top analysis: Compass Media's Merril Hoge shared that what makes the Lions D so tricky is their swarming secondary rarely leaves a player open, so it's rare to get a pass play for more than 10 yards against them.

Top analysis: CBS's Tiki Barber shared the way to take pressure off a QB is to throw slant passes away from the direction the QB is moving. It forces the secondary to expand their pressure and have less blitz opportunities.

Best Timing Award: CBS's Andrew Catalon predicted that the Texans offensive line formation looked like a custom Mixon power run formation. The next play was a Mixon 14 yard run for a TD.

Top analysis: CBS's Tiki Barber shared that the reason most young QB's struggle is because they aren't used to pressure fronts with NFL speeds. Once a team realizes you're vulnerable to pressure blitzes, then every team continues to do so until you can overcome it.

Top analysis: CBS's Tiki Barber shared that you can realize when a team is considering changing a player on offense or defense because the alternate player replaces the starter on the sideline discussion. However most fans never realize it because they're focused on the field performance.

Top stat: CBS's Andrew Catalon shared that the Texans were expected to dominate the TOP because coming in the Texans were #2 on TOP in the NFL while the Colts were dead last- #32.

Top analysis: CBS's Tiki Barber shared that when you struggle with a specific side on the offense, the best way to overcome it is distribute the ball multiple times to your most consistent player on the side- both rushing and receiving.

Top analysis: CBS's Jay Feely shared the best way to acknowledge your team is improving is to truly study how passes come open or running lanes seem wider. This is typically because your QB or O-Line has evolved.

Top stat: FOX's Kevin Kugler shared that the Lions are the first team since 1965 with more offensive touchdowns than incompletions.

Top analysis: FOX's Daryl Johnston shared that the way a QB gains trust in their receivers is they let them test themselves in 1-on-1 situations. The more often they prove themselves, the stronger that trust becomes leading to more opportunities.

Top analysis: FOX's Daryl Johnston shared that when you're inside the 5, you should always let your RB have at least 1 opportunity on 1st or 2nd Down so your team isn't put behind the ball and so it keeps your opponent guessing on how you'll attack, especially when you have 1 TO left.


Top analysis: FOX's Jonathan Vilma said a way to confuse the defense is to make sure your receivers don't make hand contact on them. It makes the D focus on putting pressure on the QB and often results in an open receiver.

Top analysis: FOX's Jonathan Vilma shared that when a QB scrambles toward the sideline, it allows the defense to apply more pressure because the QB can't throw behind them, and the limited vision forward leads to smaller passing lanes.

Top analysis: FOX's Mark Schlereth shared that T'ua's quick release keeps the defenders from being able to put any pressure on the QB and keep Miami in most games as long as they don't make dumb mistakes.

Top stat: CBS's Spero Dedes shared that part of the NYJ struggles have been because they lead the NFL in missed FG's. The missed FG's force them to pass more often and lead to more turnovers.

Top analysis: FOX's Greg Olsen shared that one problem with Atlanta's D is they tend to rush only 3. It leaves a lot of rushing room for the QB and causes more 1st Downs to be given up than necessary.

Top analysis: FOX's Greg Olsen shared that most young QB's tend to tighten up whenever they throw an interception, but it also limits their abilities to throw effectively as the game progresses. They must mentally show toughness to overcome it and progress.

Top analysis: FOX's Greg Olsen shared that a way to tire out the defense is don't make substitutions on 3rd Down. It doesn't allow them to make defensive substitutions, meaning they can't bring in specialists, and it tires out those on the field faster.

Top analysis: FOX's Adam Amin shared that Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier is brought on not only because of his rushing abilities, but he's one of the best blocking RB's leading to the QB having more attacks and closing out games easier.

Top analysis: CBS's Charles Davis shared what causes most teams to struggle on offense is the QB and RB have the same running speed. It allows teams to tighten their formation knowing the run will always have 1 specific pattern.

Best Timing Award: CBS's Ross Tucker shared that most teams that get into FG range get too comfortable and run the ball 3 times or have a penalty leading to lost yardage and harder FG attempts. On the next snap Cleveland suffered a false start that took them out of FG range.

Funniest exchange: FOX's Chris Myers, "Tipped by Tully. Sounds like a new show promo for something airing later on FOX."
Mark Sanchez: "And it'd be right after Matlock."

Top stat: FOX's Chris Myers shared that the Chargers TD in the 3rd quarter was the first 2nd Half TD they've scored since Week 1.

Surprise moment: NBC’s Melissa Stark conducting a postgame interview when 49ers Nick Bosa photobombs the interview with his own political message.
