The Completely Unnecessary News Analysis

by Christopher Smart

Sept. 10, 2019

IF YOU WATCH FOX NATIONAL NEWS

& TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE

If you got all your news from Fox News Channel, you'd know that North Korea's Kim Jung Un is a nice, sensitive fellow with great hair.

If you only watched Fox, you'd know that white supremacists are just good people who like to burn the occasional cross now and then.

If you only watched Fox, you'd know we are winning the trade war with China and farmers are just loving it.

If you only watched Hannity and company, you'd know that the Saudi Crown Prince didn't chop up Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and feed him to the fishes.

If you only watched Tucker Carlson and the gang, you'd wear a T shirt that said, “I'd Rather Be A Russian Than A Democrat.”

If you only watched Fox and Friends, you'd think that ripping children from their mother's arms and putting them in cages on the southern border was actually a lot of fun for them.

If you only watched Fox, you'd wonder what all the fuss was about when U. S. Air Force transports refuel at Trump's Turnberry Golf Club in Scotland. It's only taxpayer money.

If you watched Fox you'd know that Vice President Pence had to stay at Trump's Golf Club & Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland when he had meetings in Dublin, 180 miles away because there is no other place to stay in Ireland.

And if you watched Fox News you'd know that everyone is lying to you except Trump. He never lies.

MOSCOW MIKE: TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE

Thank god for Utah Sen. Mike Lee. He's in Russia smoothing stuff over with Donald Trump's BFF Vladimir Putin. Some people are down on Vlady for invading Ukraine and annexing Crimea with his shirt off. But Trump says he's a cool guy and would like to go golfing with him if the Russians would stay at one of Trump's golf course hotels. Lookit,Vlady said that Russia didn't interfere with the 2016 election. So who should the president of the United States believe, his good friend Vlady or those career stooges at the CIA, the NSA and military intelligence. No contest. And really, as Moscow Mike says, it's so unfair to keep all those horrible sanctions on Russia that Obama slapped on them after the 2014 Crimea grab. And by the way, Mike says Donald was right — no collusion between the Ruskies and Trump's campaign. Just ignore the criminal indictments and guilty pleas from Trump insiders Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, Michael Cohen and Roger Stone. Mike's trip was topped off by a reunion with U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman at the LDS Ward in Moscow. Talk about killing two birds without a cyber attack: When Jon returns to Utah, he won't run against Mike. It's so great to know that we'll have Moscow Mike around for a long time to come.

DANGERS OF SEX EDUCATION

Recently, Gayle “Righteous” Ruzicka and her Moral Minions stormed the Utah State School Board to stop teachers from answering student questions about s-e-x. See, here's the argument: If you don't tell kids about sex, they won't do it. Why Utah has a high rate of virgin pregnancies, we're not sure. But as the Moral Minions point out, Neanderthals didn't have sex ed and that worked out pretty well — until they went extinct. The whole sex ed thing caught fire again when students asked their teachers such questions as, can you get pregnant in swimming pools? Well, Wilson is right — it's a trick question. Some people, in fact, have been knocked up in swimming pools — or at least close to them. But you have to do more than go for a swim. Call it the birds and the bees or what the stork brings, but kids are still curious. They want to know things like, can you get pregnant from kissing? Do you have to take all your clothes off? Does it hurt? What if I don't like sex — do I have to do it anyway? If there is “safe sex,” is there “dangerous sex,” too? And how, exactly, is that done? Well, sex ed is a challenge and we can't just pass out copies of Kama Sutra — can we?

POLITICIZING THE WEATHER

Until now, most people didn't realize that President Donald Trump knows a lot about the weather. And when it comes to wind, he's an expert — the Donald knows which way it blows. So when he advised residents of Alabama that Hurricane Dorion was about to hit them, he couldn't be wrong — he never is. But the Fake News media said Trump's hurricane forecast was, in fact, just hot air. The National Weather Service had to issue an UN-warning to Bama. But hold on. The president had a map that clearly showed Dorion was on its way to the heart of Old Dixie. “I'm right. I'm right. I'm right,” he said on TV and Twitter. And that's why the big wigs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) had to tell those rat bastards at the Weather Service to shut the fuck up. Some people say Trump changed the map with a Sharpie and in so doing politicized the weather — which, of course, is just silly. By the way, Trump is predicting sunny times and no climate change if re-elected. And what do you know, NOAA agrees.

Well, that's it for another death-defying week here at Smart Bomb, where the staff keeps track of Kim and Kanye so you don't have to. And hey, it's football season. Now Americans can focus on something far more serious than whether or not to impeach Trump and the likelihood that he would be replaced by an alien (aka Mike Pence).

Things are getting so crazy that the staff here at Smart Bomb has to take another vacation. After a few beers, we threw a dart at a map and it hit Spain. And hey, it could be worse, we might have been sent to Russia to do a story on the Mormon Church. Luckily, The Salt Lake Tribune's church lady, Peggy Stack, already did that. Imagine telling a would-be Russian convert that he can't drink vodka. But we digress. In España you can drink anything you want. ¡Ahí vamos!

Alright Wilson, rev up the band and take us out with a little tune for the trip: Well I never been to Spain / But I kinda like the music / Say the ladies are insane there / And they sure know how to use it / They don't abuse it / Never gonna lose it / I can't refuse it...

2008 BCS Sugar Bowl - Alabama Came to Play, Utah Came to Win and Did So Too Easily, 31-17

After over 50 years of watching football it torments me to state it, however Alabama came to play in the 2008 BCS Sugar Bowl and Utah came to win the Sugar Bowl. Think about what was the deal? Utah made Alabama look like a large portion of the group it is, winning convincingly, 31-17.

Dark red Tide mentor Nick Saban didn't support his motivation. Subsequent to controlling Alabama to an ideal 12-0 record before losing to Florida 31-20 in the SEC title season finisher, Saban declared to the world that his club was as yet the main group to have an undefeated standard season in a "BCS meeting".

The Utah Utes, who came into the Sugar Bowl with the country's just undefeated record at 12-0, resented Saban's comment, and afterward continued to take it out on Saban's players, who were not set up to win the Sugar Bowl against Utah.

As the amazing Lou Holtz would state, Utah is slightly below average as the Utes looked in the Sugar Bowl, and Alabama isn't so awful as the Crimson Tide looked in the Sugar Bowl. The Utes were completely engaged, and the Crimson Tide had no concentration by any means, as prove by the 3 snappy touchdowns Utah scored to keep running up a 21-0 first quarter lead.

A third down sack of senior quarterback John Parker Wilson on Alabama's first belonging gave Utah the ball and the Ute's senior quarterback Brian Johnson finished 5 back to back goes for 19, 14, 22, 7 and 7 yards as Utah scored before Alabama could pivot and get into the correct inclusion.

On Alabama's subsequent belonging, John Parker Wilson (you constantly stable increasingly significant with 3 names) immediately tossed a capture and Utah had the ball on 'Bama's 32-yard line. The Utes burned through no time scoring once more, putting them up 14-0.

A second third down sack on Alabama's third belonging gave Utah the ball back and Johnson drove his Utes' down the field and discovered senior wide beneficiary Bradon Godfrey on a 18-yard touchdown hurl, making it Utah 21-zoom with more opportunity to play in the first quarter.

Now, it started to occur to on a portion of the strong Crimson Tide players that they expected to quit sulking over their misfortune to Florida or the last score may wind up 84-0. Utah had no such slip by in mental frame of mind. The Utes were on their game like a honey bee on nectar, and everything was tasting sweet like achievement. Utah's protection would record 8 sacks and 2 capture attempts. The Ute offense would cut up the Crimson Tide barrier like a blender show by a peddler at the region reasonable.

While Alabama would start to battle back with 17 unanswered focuses, making it 21-17 right off the bat in the second half (most likely after an extraordinary halftime discourse or a tongue lashing by mentor Nick Saban), there truly was no battle in 'Bama from the earliest starting point.

In a word or three, overlook John Parker Wilson, who was no counterpart for the Utah's Brian Johnson. Johnson finished 27-of-41 for 336 yards and 2 touchdowns with zero capture attempts. Johnson was named Most Valuable Player and completed his vocation as Utah's best quarterback (26-7 as a starter). Senior wide recipient Freddie Brown got 12 of Johnson's 27 fulfillments for 125 yards.

Neither one of the teams had a running match-up. Alabama came into the game averaging 196+ yards on the ground, however the Utes brought them to an abrupt halt, constraining the Crimson Tide to 31 yards on 33 conveys (that is the thing that 8 sacks will accomplish for you). To state that the Utes commanded the two sides of the line would be putting it mildly.

Be that as it may, enough about what Alabama didn't do. Utah merits high acclaim. I have been an Alabama football fan since the greatness long stretches of Bear Bryant, Joe "Willie" Namath and Kenny "The Snake" Stabler. Having said that, it is far fetched that Alabama would have won the Sugar Bowl regardless of whether the Crimson Tide were on their game; Utah looked that great.

It's not difficult for me to comprehend why Alabama was supported by 10.5 focuses in this game. The Tide played 5 AP Top 25 groups and beat 4 of them before landing at the Sugar Bowl. Utah played and beat 2 Top 25 groups. Alabama's quality of calendar was substantially more troublesome than Utah's. That doesn't mean Utah was not an extraordinary group; it basically implies that a ton of survey voters and football fans didn't understand exactly how incredible.

In stepping Alabama into a Tuscaloosa mud opening, Utah impacted the world forever by turning into the principal group from a non-BCS meeting to win 2 BCS bowl games. The Utes bested Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl under Urban Meyer before Meyer moved toward becoming lead trainer of the Florida Gators. Utah was let well enough alone for the BCS national title game for enduring forces Oklahoma and Florida.

Florida would prevail upon 24-14 Oklahoma to in the long run be announced the 2008 National Champion. There is no contending about this; whichever group wins the BCS national title game is the national victor, time frame.

Utah mentor Kyle Whittingham, QB Brian Johnson and the remainder of the Utes were left pondering, "What else do we need to demonstrate?"

Utah even lost the top situation in the last AP Top 25 Poll as Florida was announced No. 1 and Utah No. 2. Utah received 18 in front of the rest of the competition cast a ballot yet couldn't defeat Florida's 48 ahead of everyone else cast a ballot. The drumbeat for a national title season finisher arrangement develops stronger consistently the BCS framework is set up. One respect came to Kyle Whittingham as he was named BCS Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association.

We don’t appreciate J.T. Barrett nearly enough, plus 6 other college football stories told with numbers

Hey, guess who’s got the best P5 passer rating outside of Oklahoma? Hey, guess who’s probably leading his team back to the CFP again?

1. J.T. Barrett is slinging the ball

We rarely get to know a quarterback’s limitations as well as we have with Ohio State’s Barrett. He has seemingly been around forever.

When he threw three interceptions in a 2014 loss to Virginia Tech, the first Guardians of the Galaxy had just come out.

When he caught fire in the proceeding weeks, leading the Buckeyes to 47.4 points per game and 10 straight wins, Black-ish and How to Get Away with Murder were debuting on ABC.

When he suffered a career-ending injury late in a win over Michigan, "Shake It Off" was the biggest song in the country.

That feels like a damn decade ago. And since then, the Barrett plot lines have only continued: the 2015 QB battle with Cardale Jones, the 2015 upset loss to Michigan State, the en-fuego start to 2016 (here’s your reminder that he had 23 touchdowns to four picks 10 games into the year), the abysmal finish to 2016, the early-2017 loss to Oklahoma.

Rarely has a quarterback had this many career benchmarks. And because of who he plays for, we remember every loss he’s been a part of.

The entire list: 2014 Virginia Tech, 2015 Michigan State, 2016 Penn State, 2016 Clemson, 2017 Oklahoma. That’s it. He’s won every other game he’s played in, and since this year’s limp defeat to OU, he has pulled a 2014.

Barrett's last five games were against Army, UNLV, Rutgers, Maryland, and Nebraska, yes. Those teams don’t have impressive defenses, no. So what I'm about to write falls firmly in the "if you want to scream, 'ain't played nobody,' then I can't stop you" category.

Barrett's passing numbers over these five games: 99-for-137, 1,351 yards, 18 touchdowns, no interception. That's a passer rating of 198.5. That would be tremendous if he were playing against FCS opponents. He was an absurd 27-for-33 for 325 yards and five touchdowns at Nebraska on Saturday. He also rushed for two touchdowns.

Among power conference quarterbacks, he is now third in passer rating (173.8) behind only Oklahoma juggernauts Baker Mayfield (OU) and Mason Rudolph (OSU). He's laps ahead of all the other quarterbacks with better name brands — Washington's Jake Browning (154.7), Penn State's Trace McSorley (154.2), Louisville's Lamar Jackson (151.3), UCLA's Josh Rosen (149.4), USC's Sam Darnold (141.5), etc. — most of whom haven’t exactly faced brutal schedules either.

Is Barrett’s supporting cast better than theirs? In most cases, yes. Is he steering the Ohio State ship toward the Playoff once again? So far.

Ohio State has at least a 71 percent chance of winning in each of its final five games. If the Buckeyes beat Penn State on October 28 (OSU’s on bye this week, while PSU hosts Michigan), they will be huge favorites to win the Big Ten East, maybe the most difficult division in the country. If they win out in Big Ten play, he will finish 29-2 in conference games Barrett’s been a part of.

Barrett is going to end up one of the most accomplished quarterbacks of the 2000s, at one of college football's premier programs. And I don't think a single one of us appreciates him as much as we should.

2. Run the dang ball, Lane

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

FAU’s Lane Kiffin

Remember how, when Lane Kiffin was offensive coordinator at Alabama, he would occasionally tinker too much and mix in too much passing instead of just running the dang ball with the Tide’s incredible set of running backs? Remember how Nick Saban would want him to just sit on the ball, but the OC would insist on trying to keep defenses honest (and have some fun)?

Under Kiffin’s guidance, Derrick Henry ran to the Heisman, so this was a little bit overblown, but Lane does like those horizontal passes quite a bit.

Regardless, this isn’t currently an issue for Kiffin. As FAU head coach, he is overseeing one of the most prolific ground attacks in the country.

Backs Devin Singletary and Gregory Howell Jr. combined for 50 carries and 303 yards in the Owls’ 58-28 win over Old Dominion on Saturday, and they combined for 284 yards against Bethune-Cookman and 221 yards against MTSU as well. When Howell missed the Buffalo game (an incredibly unlikely loss, as we’ll see below), Singletary and Kerrith Whyte Jr. combined for 228.

FAU began 1-3 in non-conference play, but the Owls have won their first two Conference USA games by a combined 48 points, and per S&P+, they’re favored in each remaining game, including road trips to WKU and Louisiana Tech.

Granted, they’re narrow favorites in each of the next four contests and probably won’t win all of them, but behind a run game that ranks seventh in S&P+ (which is adjusted for opponent!), FAU is running the dang ball well, and the Owls are in great position to win the C-USA East because of it.

3. Let's just say regression to the mean has struck

Jim McElwain has been the master of the close win during his five and a half years as a head coach. He was 8-3 in one-possession games at Colorado State from 2012-14, and he won nine of his first 10 such games at Florida from 2015 to present. But while some coaches are better than others at maneuvering in tight spaces, a 17-4 record in one-score games is probably too good to be sustainable.

In Week 6, the Gators lost 17-16 to LSU. Against LSU, their postgame win expectancy — in which I toss the key stats from a game into the air and say, "With these stats, you could have expected to win this game X percent of the time" — was 76 percent.

This past Saturday, they lost 19-17 to Texas A&M. Against A&M, their postgame win expectancy was 94 percent.

A&M won the field position battle against Florida ... and that was pretty much it. The Gators dwarfed the Aggies in success rate (41 percent to 21 percent), yards per play (5.5 to 4.2), points per scoring opportunity (5.7 to 3.2), and expected turnovers (based on national fumble recovery rates and INT-to-breakup ratios, the turnover margin should have been UF plus-0.5 or so).

However, A&M recovered the game's only fumble, and while both teams defensed four passes, the Aggies picked two off to Florida's one. Toss in a 43-yard Christian Kirk punt return, which set up the game-winning field goal, and you've got yourself a custom-made Unlikely Win.

It wasn’t the least likely win of the weekend, however.

4. 10 least likely wins of 2017 so far (per postgame win expectancy)

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images

UConn 28, Temple 24 — postgame win expectancy 1.9%

Marshall 31, Miami (Ohio) 26 — 2.0%

Howard 35, UNLV 32 — 2.4%

San Diego State 20, NIU 14 — 4.5%

Texas A&M 19, Florida 17 — 5.7%

Kentucky 24, Southern Miss 17 — 6.8%

UL-Lafayette 51, SE Louisiana 48 — 7.6%

Utah State 40, BYU 24 — 10.1%

Buffalo 34, FAU 31 — 12.6%

Arizona State 37, Oregon 35 — 14.2%

UConn was beaten drastically in field position, yards per play, and success rate in Saturday's road win over Temple, but the Huskies recovered two of three fumbles, took an interception back for a touchdown, and stopped Temple on downs three times in UConn territory.

5. Big Play Watch

James Washington

As we reach the midpoint of 2017, 16 FBS offenses have registered fewer than nine gains of 30-plus yards thus far. Twenty-three defenses have allowed fewer than nine as well.

Oklahoma State had nine gains of 30-plus yards on Saturday against Baylor.

Q1: Marcell Ateman 38-yard reception, James Washington 45-yard reception

Q2: Justice Hill 79-yard run, Ateman 33-yard reception, Ateman 40-yard reception, Washington 43-yard reception

Q3: Washington 58-yard reception, Washington 68-yard reception

Q4: Taylor Cornelius 40-yard run

The Cowboys won, 59-16, and it could have been worse. McCleskey muffed a punt in the first quarter, and Washington fumbled at the end of his 58-yard catch. With better bounces, those unlucky Cowboys could have won by 50. Life is hard.

6. What happens when you have explosiveness and nothing else?

Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images

OSU’s offense is terrifying, but adjusting for opponent, the Cowboys currently only have the seventh-most explosive offense in the country. Using IsoPPP+ (an opponent-adjusted look at the magnitude of a team’s successful plays), here’s your top 10:

Missouri

Oklahoma

Ole Miss

Ohio State

UCF

Notre Dame

Oklahoma State

Miami

Fresno State

Texas Tech

Against Kentucky and Georgia, Missouri scored on plays of 27, 50, 58, 63, 63, and 75 yards. Emanuel Hall, recipient of three of those long touchdowns, is averaging a cool 28.8 yards per reception this year.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, they aren’t nearly as efficient as OSU and other names in that top 10. They also don’t have even the slightest hint of a defense.

7. Gunner of the Year Watch

John Gutierrez-USA TODAY Sports

Jake Funk has been excellent without the ball in his hands this year.

Out of pure curiosity, I’ve been tracking special teams tackles this year. Maybe we’ll give a pretend award out to whoever has the most of them at the end. Winner of the award gets it named after him.

Your fake award watch list through seven weeks:

WMU’s Alex Grace still leads the nation with nine special teams tackles, though he didn’t add to his total in Sunday’s rain-postponed upset loss to Akron. He has been particularly strong on kick returns (of which there weren’t many on Sunday).

South Alabama’s Deonta Moore is now second in the country with 8.5 ST tackles. He’s taken part in three punt return stops (average return: 8 yards) and seven kick return stops (average return: 17 yards).

Alabama’s Daniel Wright is moving up on the list (and it will be very annoying if a Bama player wins this thing): he’s got 7 overall ST tackles, and he’s been involved in 10 kick return stops. Opponent average when he comes flying in: 15 yards per return.

Maryland’s Jake Funk is up to 7.5 tackles and has been well-rounded, contributing to two punt return stops (7.5 yards per return) and six kick return stops (18.5). He has also scored three touchdowns on offense (two rushing, one receiving).

USF’s Nate Ferguson and BC’s Isaac Yiadom, stalwarts on this list since the beginning of the season, remain among the leaders. Ferguson has eight ST tackles (he’s contributed on three punt returns and seven kick returns), while Yiadom is holding steady at seven.
