Connection Error

[JerrickBackous]

Hi Tom,

I keep getting a connection error whenever I try get_college_qbr. Example below:

It happens for any combination of year or week I run. I tried updating espnscrapeR to see if that'd help but the same error keeps popping up.

Thanks, Jerrick

Howdy! Thanks for your patience, I'm going to have to switch to using httr::GET() commands.

For my reference #13

I've revamped the entire package to use httr so that it will get access to the proper JSON, and this works again - thanks @JerrickBackous !
