Recruiting Football Talk VIII

These first 4 weeks of college football have gone quick. Kind of depressing.

No need to fear, the next 2 weeks will drag along. . .

I don't see us not hosting if we went 12-0 and lost SECCG to a team that likely ends up being the #1...

The point is playing that extra game. I almost am thinking I'd rather miss the championship game and save the bodies. Sort of like an early exit in the SEC basketball tournament when you're getting a good seed anyway.

How good could we be if our scared coach didn't take his foot off the gas in the 2nd half at OU?!?!

Shut up. We won with a great strategy.

This hit is up there as one of the most violent i have seen from. A Vol

The more I rewatch this -- and I will prolly rewatch it from time to time forever -- Boo and Jermod both knocked bruh into the next world. The both hit him.

You're looking smart so far

Did you cash out?

Jennings went loco today. Love to see it

This. Are we redshirting Seldon or something? He wasn’t on the injury report.

Also, why didn’t Lance Heard travel with the team? Kinda strange

Seldon played some snaps against Oklahoma

B2A is not a gimmick. It's a way of life.

Have you noticed squirrel jumping as he catches the ball a lot, most of the time falling down as he catches or drops it? Wonder why he's got that habit? There's been a few times when he didnt even need to break stride, but he jumps for the ball.

Yes. They are going to have to work with him on that. Seems to have started last year. But with the passes more on the money, it shows. He'll get it straightened out.

Thornton has 7 catches for 242 yards and 3 TD’s 34 yards a catch

 

[Weezer]

Didn't someone ask about a Lego Jaws set a few months back?

Yes, they will. I hate "Byes", but I know we need 'em. Next 2 weeks will seem like 2 months, tho

You don't think the 2 weeks between championship game and first round is enough?

Also, our last tough game is Georgia on Nov 16, since it's UTEP & vandy afterwards...that'll leave 3 weeks for any nagging injuries to get healed up between our last big game and the SEC championship game

Jackson Arnold was rated as the better QB of the two when it comes to Nico by at least some of the services. Can we please quit placing such importance on recruiting rankings? TIA.

I can’t remember the exact stat but I think 5* QBs end up having something like a 30% to 50% bust rate. How to define bust is difficult but it’s usually not getting many significant snaps/starts in college. I look at a guy like Brock Vandagriff who was a composite 5* but looks like he can’t play. It’s weird.

 

[Orange.]

lol, dumb stat then.

It is a sort of joke. But a joke with an edge: It's much easier to win at a neutral site than in front of an amped crowd in Norman, and Tejas knows it. That's why Tejas found a way to avoid it forever.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yes, they will. I hate "Byes", but I know we need 'em. Next 2 weeks will seem like 2 months, tho

I'm still thinking UGA & Bama getting byes at the same time before they play is a conspiracy.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

That is an instant classic gif

Maybe. To add to your point, is having too much of a break a hindrance? You know the SEC championship game would be a battle. What if we were to lose a major contributor? It's an interesting question to ponder.

Well, somebody has to lose, so one team will bitch and say the "Bye" messed up their momentum and came at the wrong time. That's one thing to look forward to
