Skull Session: Chase Young is only improving, the state of Ohio draws a crowd of viewers and Tyjon Lindsey leaves Nebraska

Yesterday, a cable installer spent six hours at home to make sure everything was in place and that it was the best customer service I received. That's when I learned that everyone associated with a cable company is not an idiot without a pocket.

ICYMI:

Word of the day: Carefree.

ONLY FROM HERE. Chase Young was arguably the most dominant player on the field Saturday in Ohio State's 27-26 win over Penn State. The guy was impeccable for long periods and no line player could compete with him physically.

And the thing is, he's still young. Its ceiling is much higher than what we have seen and it works to achieve this.

From Colin Gay's Lantern:

"He's a very good student, he wants to learn everything," said Johnson. "Every day, he chooses Nick's mind to squeeze the smuggler, things he can learn. And I think that's what you want from a player who is very competitive and who wants to be a great player. "

…

So far this season, Young has shown potential. He leads the team with four sacks and is tied with six tackles for the loss.

However, Young thinks he's still a long way to go to meet the expectations that he has for himself.

"Not close at all," said Young. "I have made some mistakes and I have to get the fix. Obviously, you never want to play a perfect game, but you want to play, you want to try and play a perfect game. That's what I'm trying to do.

To take: Nick Bosa's wound was actually a blessing in disguise for the Buckeyes.

If Bosa was healthy, he would have received the lion's share of defensive play against Penn State – and for quite a good reason. But instead, these clutch time representatives went to Young, giving her valuable experience and confidence that will be vital for the future.

This defensive line will be NSFW on the return from Bosa. Talking about that:

People like to watch bucks. Buckeyes bring numbers when they play in prime time.

The two most watched matches in college football this season: Ohio State vs. TCU and Ohio State vs. Penn State.

Most viewed games of the season so far:

– ABC Televises Top two, three of the top four
– ESPN / ABC combine for seven of the top ten

Unfortunately, the state of Ohio does not add this list any time soon. The Buckeyes are not playing against a ranked opponent until November, and even then, nothing says what the Michigan State or Michigan really looks like.

TYJON LINDSEY MOVING. Tyjon Lindsey, a former four-star receiver and former Buckeye Group player, is on the road after just one year in Nebraska, after the Huskers granted his release from the program.

From Husker 247:

The Huskers have their first start in the season in 2018, while Tyjon Lindsey has decided to leave the team, confirmed a NU football spokesman Tuesday night. Lindsey asked and obtained his release from the stock market, said the manager.

The second-year receiver's name disappeared from the list of players on Tuesday before the news became official later in the night. As the season is only four games, Lindsey can technically make a season in red under the new NCAA rule.

…

One of the most complicated recruits of the 2017 recruiting class, Lindsey joined the Husker program after being hired in the Ohio State. He played as a freshman but never really found his comfort zone, finishing his first year with 12 catches for 76 yards and seven runs for four yards. He will finish his career at Husker with a total of 111 yards of offense under his belt.

If you remember, Lindsey and five-star receiver Trevon Grimes together filmed an engagement video in which they both announced their remarks at the same time at Ohio State. It looked like they were two future Buckeye playmakers, but it never really worked that way.

For those of you who are wondering, I very much doubt that the state of Ohio is Lindsey 's transfer destination.

THE LAUNCHING RULE OF IVY LEAGUE HELPS. The Ivy League has taken an interesting approach to launch with its experimental rule change.

Instead of encouraging the receiving team to call for a fair shot or draw, she encourages the kickoff team to do so by moving the sideline over the 20-yard line. . They also made it easier for these players by moving the starting point of the 35-yard line to 40.

Overall, it worked, significantly reducing the number of concussions per 1,000 games.

Of Association between the experimental kickoff rule and the concussion rates in Ivy League football on jamanetwork.com:

In 2015, in the Ivy League, a conference of 8 private universities in Division 1 of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the kickoffs accounted for 6% of all games, but 21% of concussions. 2 In response, Ivy League football coaches have recommended a rule change. In 2016, the hit line was moved from the 35 to 40 line line and the touch line was moved from the 25-line to the 20-line line. The intention was to make more kicks land in the end zone and thus reduce the chances of the receiving player advancing the ball, thus increasing retouching. However, moving the touchline down the 20-meter line could cause the receivers to try to move the ball forward, which could reduce the contact points.

…

In the 68479 games played from 2013 to 2017, there were 159 concussions (126 before and 33 after the rule), for an overall concussion rate of 2.3 per 1000 games. The number of touchdowns went from an average of 17.9% per year before rule change to 48.0% after. The average annual concussion rate per 1000 games played during strikes was 10.93 before the rule change and 2.04 after (difference, -8.88, 95% CI, – 13.68 to -4.09) (table). For other types of play, the concussion rate was 2.56 before rule change and 1.18 after (difference, -1.38, 95% CI, -3.68 to 0.92). The analysis of differences in differences showed that there were 7.51 fewer concussions undergone by CI (95% CI, -12.88 to -2.14) fewer concussions per 1000 matches played after or before the rule change.

Personally, I do not think that the kickoff is enough to justify staying in the game given the risk of injury. Some will even say that the bells are boring and bad and should be banned for that reason alone.

I do not think my viewing experience would be affected at all if the shots were eliminated forever and you instead give the ball to the receiving team at the 20-yard line.

For shots in play, simply replace it with a decisive 20-yard play. If you do, you keep the ball. If you do not like it, it's a turnover on downs.

THE MOST CRISIS JACKET IN THE WORLD. Sean Nuernberger's girlfriend arrived in Happy Valley on Saturday, stirring the coldest jacket imaginable.

The attention to detail is simply beyond reproach – she has even painted the good stripes of the sleeves instead of those of the traditional whites and I approve wholeheartedly.

The best part is that it seems to have a whole line of Nuernberger clothes (and this one even has a special pocket for beer in the front !!!!!).

Sean, I think she's a babysitter.
