Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Classy!

Ohio State has plenty of talent and likely one of the most expensive payrolls in football. However, they are beatable, as their quarterback isn't impressive.

Their main weakness is the OL and their HC....they are loaded everywhere else. Howard is not great so far, but he is talented.

Just curious. Does anyone know what ND’s quality win is supposed to be? I don’t see any ranked teams on their schedule. We know losing to NIU at home is far worse thane losing to Arky on the road. It may be the loss of the year. They would need at least one quality win to be in the top 10, no? I never realized ND only played 3 road games.

I think you are forgetting the win over that U-12 CYO team. Also that same team really put it on NIU a couple of weeks after they beat Nuetre Lame.

Haha!!!….anyone heard from their backup….dude took a shot

Looks like we get Arnold again next year

Makes sense with Lebby as his former OC but I thought their young true freshman QB was pretty solid. Wonder if he leaves if Arnold does end up there.

Funny how the Beck injury news drops the day after the teams are seeded lol

Surely…Shirley…u dont think Kirby purposely hid this info from the selection committee.

 

[SpringBokVol]

are we the only team in the college football playoffs that also has a top 10 basketball team?

 

[drylo]

Can we please move on from Barnes before this program sinks any lower…

Vols and Lady Vols Basketball #1 and #19!

Hey...you said it, I didn't.

OSU does not suck...they are crammed full of NFL talent all over the field..especially on defense.

Our hopes are pinned on Day doing something dumb and their OL falling completely apart against our front 7.

If those two things happen and our offense finally gets executed at a high level...them having a great defense, probably better than ours when you break it down player by player, makes our offense doing that for the first time on the road an unlikely prospect...but if that near miracle actually happens...

We could win.

Their is nothing wrong with being realistic, and the real truth is...this is a really tough row to hoe.

Their o-line is hurting but they are stout. But I like the matchup, like they say defense travels.

You are correct McGill but as far as match up we do match up better with them than some of the other top teams. Having a weak OL is a problem against our DL. They also lost their center before the Michigan game for the season. That’s probably the main reason they lost. Sort of like us without Cooper. It’s definitely a huge challenge on the road but I think it’s doable. Get up early and their crowd could get pretty toxic. We will definitely have to be on and not get rattled by the atmosphere. I do like that we have a break and plenty of time to prepare as I think we have a slight coaching advantage. It’s a great opportunity to announce to the world that we are back.

 

[csprig9]

are we the only team in the college football playoffs that also has a top 10 basketball team?

And a defending champion baseball team….. and a top 25 women bball team….. and a championship in computer stuff…..

Yes

 

[jakez4ut]

are we the only team in the college football playoffs that also has a top 10 basketball team?

Dunno. Bet we are the only with the #1 basketball team tho.

Alaba…

Oh, wait…

Come home!

Wouldn't have changed anything, they won and were in with a bye.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

that explains a lot. bet arkansas did the same.

georgia hasn't played that well against anyone else in several games. we have to figure out how to pressure this bg10 opponent.

Nobody ever takes us lightly...teams spend an inordinate amount of time just preparing to play us...sometimes at the expense of their play against other teams.

Maybe if UGA had spent more time figuring out Ole Piss than they did us, maybe they wouldn't have gotten the beat out of them.

He'd of been dumb not to. But it really wouldn't have mattered except maybe falling a spot in the top 4.

I dont care if it changes anything, I just want to point out how UGA is full of sleazy ****bags whenever possible.

If it’s only strained, it’s possible. Even if there is only a slight tear, they will still perform surgery. As far as handing the ball off, there was no pain doing that for me, at all. The most pain I had was when I actually threw the ball, and even more so when I threw a baseball from an elevated mound.

Even if his injury is minor it is definitely affect his play, there is no doubt about that. I say even if it is a very minor sprain he'll be lucky to be 80%. I still think it was minor because of the way they were handling it. They iced it for a little while and that was it.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I never want them to leave. I love beating them too much.

YESSSS. The past 20 years in this conference have been amazing. I love having a rival within 45 minutes of our conference headquarters, have "legitimately" signed top 3 recruiting classes annually, and the my absolute favorite part...... have multiple alumni referees, across all sports. Totally worth it.
