News and Notes (Oct 23-29) and Broadcast Assignments by Rudy Martzke

 

Best line: ESPN’s Paul Finebaum telling listeners, “Steve Sarkisian should buy the officials a bottle of champagne.” Finebaum noted the horrendous call by officials. 

Fox Sports Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman were all over it. Finebaum credited Brando for doing a superb game

Best debut: CBS Sports Cardale Jones on CBSSN Monday Night QB. Jones is a natural. He wasn’t afraid to tell viewers that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had the benching in Alabama on his mind to will the Eagles to the win. Jones noted Eagles need to do a much better job of protecting him.

Top analysis: Fox Sports John Smoltz sharing the hardest thing for a pitcher in the postseason is to keep pressure applied when your team gets an early lead because your mind applies more pressure saying you must protect while your body relaxes.

Top stat: Fox Sports Joe Davis sharing that since both LCS' went to best of 7 in 1985, 2023 is only the 4th time both LCS' go the distance.

Top analysis: Fox Sports John Smoltz pointing out that whenever you have a tight pitch zone called, it usually leads to higher scoring affairs because it forces the pitcher to stay closer to the center of the zone.

Top analysis: Fox Sports John Smoltz telling viewers that whenever a batter nails a change-up deep, it applies pressure to a pitcher because it shrinks their strike zone and makes a homerun a bigger possibility.

Awkward moment: ESPN’s Joe Buck, as production showed a close up view of Michelle Beisner-Buck & children & quickly panned out as they were spotted were spotted wearing Minnesota Vikings Justin Jefferson jerseys, “Mom’s family is from Minnesota. Not mine. Mine is from St. Louis.”

Top information: ESPN's Mike Corey sharing Western Kentucky's mascot Big Red will be very relevant because WKU will have 5 different Big Red helmets on the field Tuesday night.

Top analysis: ESPN's Rene Ingoglia sharing Western Kentucky has an objective of having 9 knock-outs per game. By knockouts they mean turnovers, 4th Down stops, forced punts, defensive scores, or any other way possible to stop Liberty's tempo.  

Top stat: ESPN's Mike Corey sharing Liberty has won 13 straight against C-USA opponents, including a 5-0 record since they joined the conference. 

Top analysis: ESPN's Rene Ingoglia sharing the purpose of a swing pass is not only does it act as an extension of the run game, but it also force the opponent to run side-to-side, tiring them out sooner as the game progresses. 

Top analysis: ESPN's Aaron Murray sharing the reason Sam Houston's offense tends to sputter out is they lack a basic ability in fundamentals. A lack of ability to block properly leads to increased sacks and turnovers.

Top analysis: ESPN's Aaron Murray sharing that UTEP has had to shift to a run first offense because they have lost their top 3 WR's, resulting in the back-ups being very inconsistent both on the catches they make and how often they get targeted because they don't run the right routes.

Top analysis: ESPN's Aaron Murray sharing one of the reasons many teams convert back-to-back first down plays is because plays are run so fast that the defense doesn't have time to get the right personnel in to stop back-to-back first downs.

Top analysis: ESPN's Aaron Murray sharing the way you can tell you have a great athlete is they have an ability to take hits, stay on their feet, and manage to overpower opponents to give their team extra yardage.

Top analysis: ESPN's Aaron Murray sharing that WR's often get criticized for dropping balls or running routes, but people forget that they are having to try and see the QB through not only the defensive but the offensive line.

Top Analysis: Fox Sports John Smoltz sharing one of the reasons pitchers have more success late in games in the postseason is batters feel the pressure and swing for the fences rather than play fundamentals baseball.

Top Stat: Fox Sports Joe Davis sharing Game 1 of the World Series is the first extra inning game in the 2023 MLB postseason.

Best nugget: ESPN’s Mark Jones telling viewers that the Aggies stadium, Kyle Field, is the largest in Texas. 

Worst exchange: Matt Barrie said if Georgia/Florida was close, then Georgia likely wouldn’t be a Top 4 ranking Tuesday night when the first CFB playoff rankings are released. Dan Mullen replied,  “I don’t think they are in. Somebody else is going to have to lose."
Mullen then predicted Florida to beat Georgia. Galloway was in disagreement. 

Dreaded Glitch Award: SEC Network's Derek Mason had his microphone continually cutting in and out during the Mississippi State/Auburn game. 

Best nugget: SEC Network's Dave Neal telling viewers there are 11 Australian punters in the SEC. 

Top analysis: Fox Sports Brock Huard sharing one of the reasons why you run sideline to sideline and rotate the side of attack each play is so that you can wear out defenses faster and own the fourth quarter easier.

Top reporting: Fox Sports Allison Williams sharing that Kansas does not plan on rotating players as often so they can use more Wildcats formations against Oklahoma and force ore penalties from tempo.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jason Benetti sharing that Kansas has a few players that appear to be playing harder because they are playing against a school that chose to ignore them. They want to prove they should have never been underestimated.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Brock Huard sharing one of the keys to gaining a win is committing 10 or fewer missed tackles. More than 10 typically leads to giving up too many big plays.

Top stat: Fox Sports Jason Benetti sharing that the 14-0 deficit is the first time ever Oklahoma has trailed Kansas by 14 points during a CFB game.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jason Benetti sharing bad weather has two obvious disadvantage for teams trailing. First off the cold and rain leads to more drops. Second it forces teams to become more one dimensional and focus on running.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Brock Huard sharing that while one team can get early momentum, injuries during a game can be a great equalizer because they put untested back-ups in against the opposing starters.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Adam Brennemen sharing one of the ways to beat an option team like Army is to use multiple passing attacks that spread the field instead of focusing on quick strikes. Quick strikes leave your D out on the field too often against option teams.

Top analysis: ESPN's Kirk Morrison sharing that it's difficult to develop tempo when you are getting penalties each series. The way to overcome it is focus on getting something positive each play.

Top Stat: ESPN's Lowell Galindo sharing the trip to Kansas State is Houston's first game outside of Texas in 2023.

Top analysis: ABC's Bob Wischusen, as Wake Forest attempts a FG down 34-7: "This is a sign that you're just playing out the 2nd half."

Top analysis: ABC's Robert Griffin III on FSU WR Keon Coleman: "He's what we call a Sunday guy, and I'm not talking about ice cream!"

Top analysis: CBS Sports Jason McCourty sharing a big reason late hits out if bounds occur is because players are taught to wrap up the defender, and they forget to look and see where they are at resulting in a hit out of bounds.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek sharing that one of the keys for a rookie QB to be successful is to be willing to take a sack. Live to make progress on the next play rather than having a turnover occur.

Top analysis: Westwood One's Ryan Leaf sharing what has made Georgia different and successful is they have focused on running simple plays, but the fundamental blocking has opened up big runs.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek sharing that a good completion involves 2 things. 1) The QB needs time to stand in the pocket instead of being blitzed. 2) A receiver needs to be willing to extend for the ball so it can be thrown where the opponent can't catch it.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek sharing that inexperienced backs and linemen lead to the offense causing their own TOL's because they end up tripping on each other long before the defense ever makes contact.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dave Pasch sharing that a Wildcat QB sometimes has an advantage because they are able to get their lower legs scrambling with an extra blocker allowing them to have fewer defenders in their way before contact is made.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek sharing that shoe string tackles may not happen often, but they always favor the defender because they act more as a stumbling block, but they allow team coverage to converge.

Top reporting: ESPN's Dave Pasch sharing that an offensive penalty inside the 10 yard line always depends on where the flag is thrown, because if the flag is thrown while the QB is in the endzone it's an automatic safety.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek sharing that you can have a hand on a receiver and it not be a penalty as long as you aren't holding and as long as you jump for the ball because both the receiver and defender have equal rights to the ball.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek sharing the key to stopping any 4th down attempt is to get defensive penetration. Penetration forces runners to run to the side and allows more defenders into the back to make the stop.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Tim Brando sharing that punt yardage is the most deceitful stat at any level of football because roll yardage either makes it look longer or shorter than it actually is.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Tim Brando sharing that since they played Oregon, Washington's average of victory has dropped to less than 10 per game largely because their weaknesses have been exposed.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Tim Brando sharing that heavy favorites tend not to do well on the road when there's no crowd involvement because they can't get motivated with the desire of shutting the crowd up.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Tim Brando sharing that the strength of Washington tends to be their D. It's especially evident when they shut teams down in the 20 by taking away the run, but they tend to over adjust to either the run or pass leaving scores easy if you recognize it.

Top reporting: Fox Sports Tom Verducci sharing that Arizona's biggest worry coming into the World Series was Texas wouldn't swing at pitches off the plate. That was evident in Game 1 when more than 100 D'Back pitches weren't swung at off the plate.

Top analysis: Fox Sports John Smoltz sharing one thing Rangers pitcher Jordan Montgomery uses to be successful is he waits until only 1 or 2 seconds remain on every pitch on the pitch clock to keep batters off balance.

Funniest comment: Jordan Rodgers on SEC Network, after a Vanderbilt defensive lineman botches a potential scoop and score vs. Ole Miss: "It's like being the first one in line at the buffet -- your eyes are so big, they want everything."

Top analysis: CW's James Bates sharing that a WR's job isn't just to get open. It's to provide time for his QB to look his best by maintaining patience. 

Top information: CW's Tom Werme sharing that Clemson/NC State isn't considered a traditionally rivalry because they are roughly 300 miles apart from each other. 

Top analysis: CW's James Bates sharing that one reason a defense plays behind receivers is because they respect the receivers soeed and want to make sure they have a chance to stop a score. 

Top analysis: CW's James Bates sharing when a pass fails in the redzone it's usually because the QB is forced to underthrow and not place enough air underneath the ball, making it come in low. 

Top analysis: CW's James Bates sharing that most blown games occur because teams begin to play too conservatively early in the 4th rather than reading the flow of the game. 

Top stat: CW's Tom Werme sharing that Clemson's back-to-back losses are the first back-to-back since 2011. 

Top analysis: CBS' James Lofton on Falcons QB Desmond Ridder: "I think the INTs he's thrown lately are in his head."

Top analysis: Fox Sports Robert Smith sharing that Carolina's offensive woes can be attributed more to the offensive line continually collapsing rather than the defense rising to the occasion every week.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Robert Smith sharing that it is ok to regroup your defense after each play. You have to go in with an attitude that giving up a few big plays is ok, but you must continually regroup.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Robert Smith sharing that even when a QB isn't being pressured, if they've been hit continually it throws their timing off because they're worried the pocket could collapse at any time.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Robert Smith sharing the primary purpose of a QB isn't to pass the ball or win a game. The primary purpose of the QB is to make everyone around you better.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Robert Smith sharing the key to causing a fumble isn't to just wrap up a player. You must be aware of their control and determine if you can knock it lose or not before they hit the ground.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Robert Smith sharing what makes a coach successful isn't just determining the tempo and flow of a game. Instead they must determine when to go for points and when to go for it because a failure to get points is the top reason games are lost.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma sharing one of the top reasons a safety gives up a TD is because they are looking for coverage help that never comes because they've been blocked or run the wrong play.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma sharing that turnovers not only put a team behind, but they force the game plan to change because it makes it where they can no longer develop the run. Instead they must focus on passing.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma sharing most defensive offside penalties occur because defenders line up on the line and forget moving their head can be a type of encroachment or a false start.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma sharing most personal foul penalties occur out of frustration, but some occur because players begin to celebrate and get a little too active.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez sharing that a head coach is more than a head coach. They are a father figure that teaches life lessons off the field.

Funniest exchange: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez, "I thought ties went to the offense."
Kevin Kugler, "Completely biased thinking of course."
Sanchez, "Of course, but it is fundamentals 101."

Top analysis: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez sharing most redzone turnovers occur because an offense becomes greedy and tries to force things in rather than playing conservative and looking for the guarantee.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez sharing that giving up a sack with only 3 occurs because a team gets sloppy and doesn't play the field spread out.

Top crossover: Fox Sports Kevin Kugler, "Game 3 of the World Series is tomorrow on Fox. Shaheed is doing his best to give us all a slide preview.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Kevin Kugler sharing most offensive penalties inside 2 minutes occur because they're trying to close the game out and tend to get impatient waiting.

Top analysis: CBS Sports James Lofton sharing that a dropped pass isn't a game ending play. Instead it is a game changing play that could potentially lead to the loss since you have no to's left.

Top stat: CBS Sports James Lofton sharing that Will Levis is only the second rookie QB to throw for 4 TD's in his first start.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Andrew Catalon sharing the problem with a bunch of injured TE's is it limits your blocking schemes and also the passing possibilities.

Top call: CBS Sports Andrew Catalon, "Giants fans keep chanting let him throw. What they don't realize is he is throwing, but they aren't letting him throw down the field."

Top analysis: CBS Sports Matt Ryan sharing that as a QB you're taught that an underthrown ball is a perfect pass, because most of the time it will draw a pass interference call.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Greg Olsen sharing that the Rams first objective is always to take away the QB's passing lanes so they can make them one dimensional and force more punts. 

Top analysis: Fox Sports Greg Olsen sharing that the number one focus to stop new first downs is to always stop yards after the catch because a WR is usually short when they make the catch. 

Top analysis: Fox Sports Greg Olsen sharing that the scrambling of Dak Prescott allows WR's to get open more often and make more plays as long as the line provides the protection. 

Top analysis: CBS Sports Trent Green sharing the most obvious offensive PI is when you can see the WR's arm extend. It may be a gut reaction because you're being held, but it causes the receiver to get wide open destroying fairplay.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Tony Romo sharing the 49ers have begun to struggle scoring points because the NFL is a copycat league, and teams will copy any scheme that shows any opponents weaknesses.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Tony Romo sharing that stunt defenses are a QB's worst nightmare because they force their tempo to be off and lead to fewer 1st and more incompletions.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Ross Tucker sharing that Baltimore uses off coverage backs even though most teams don't because they've seen the success of players like Ray Thomas and believe it gives their backs their best chance.

Top stat: CBS Sports Kevin Harlan sharing it was Week 7, 2017 that KC was last held without a TD.

Top stat: CBS Sports Kevin Harlan sharing Denver was ending a 14 game losing streak vs. KC (7 years).

Top analysis: CBS Sports Ross Tucker explaining that a 0 blitz means everyone is man-to-man, so everyone is covered but the QB gets time.

Top stat: CBS Sports Chris Lewis sharing 6 of the last 9 Ravens losses have occurred when the Ravens had double digit leads.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Ross Tucker sharing that the onside kick tends to be the most physical play in the NFL  because there's lots of close contact, but also because there's no way to slow the speed of the contact. It's all or nothing.

Top analysis: CBS Sports Russ Tucker sharing the most successful way to get an onside kick is to not wait for it to come to you. You've got to be aggressive and attack it.

Slip of the tongue: Jim Nantz on CBS, telling viewers the Eagles "come from behind to beat the Commodores." He quickly corrected himself to "Commanders."
