me up as a commentator--not so much on the technical aspects of the game (he's as good as Gene the Chiznick explaining defense in an understandable way) but his strategy: Throughout the USCe v UT game, he said "well you don't want to throw it here over the middle, you may throw a pick" and when USCe had the ball hanging on to a 3 point lead with 3:12 left, Tus said "Well Will doesn't need to score here he just needs to pick up a few first downs is all". Man oh man. Far cry from Pat SUllivan being the color commentator for Jim Fyffe 1980-1985 whose comment on every down and distance unless inside the opponent's35 was "Now is a good time to throw the bomb, Jim". 1st and 10 at own 20 "Now is a good time to throw the bomb, Jim" 2nd and 9 at the opponents 45? "Now is a good time to throw the bomb, Jim" 3rd and 1 on your own 43? "Now is a good time to throw the bomb, Jim" 4th and 8 on your own 37 in a tie game? "Now is a good time to fake the punt and throw the bomb, Jim" |
