I’m a college football rube, and I’m happy to admit it. I love going to games, but I’ll never be the guy who can proactively identify if the offense is running a zone blocking scheme, or the merits of using a 46 defensive front instead of a 4-3. I generally couch my football acumen as somewhere on the spectrum of knowing the difference between a dime and nickel defense.

But that’s why I’m here as a rube representative.
