Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Thought experiment - what is the bam/barn spread now with no Tua? Going to be very interesting and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

If you mean what is the official Vegas line..I have no idea how the bookies will work that out, but I think AU by a TD.

So I guess Okla and Baylor will play a rematch in the Big 12 title game. And OSU will play a rematch against the winner of Minnesota-Wisconsin. And Oregon will play Utah. That right?

I think Ohio State and Clemson are the two best teams in the country. Don't think LSU is good enough on defense, and don't think UGA is good enough on offense to win it all.

I think LSU is better than you give them credit for. But we will see.

Let's hope! Screw all other SEC teams.

Ah, no, anybody but OSU.

It's Mizzou week!

UT 20
Mizzou 16

Ah, no, anybody but OSU.

Them and Clemson are next on the hate list. They are both also close enough to steal recruits like sec teams do. Really just want every program within a 10 hour radius of us to burn to the ground.

Go Ducks and Sooners.

This. Almost. Except I hate them too! we're competing with the Ducks right now for a LB.

Wow Mizzou fans talking if Odom is coaching for his job this week. A bunch of them really don't think he's doing well. I think for the talent they get out there he's kept them fairly respectable. But I can see a really poor 4 game stretch souring them.

Hopefully there is tension and locker room problems. We should be fresh, cohesive, and motivated.

The Tigers held Florida to 3-for-14 on third down, and allowed just 2.2 yards per carry on the ground. Sure, they gave up a few big plays over the top. Jarvis Ware had his struggles in coverage. But Missouri’s defense did more than enough to give the Tigers a chance to win this game, just as they have each of the last three weeks. The only other team to hold Florida under 24 points this year is Georgia. The defense did its job. Again. They just can’t seem to get any help.

Yep going to be tough to win. Our struggling O against their D. Their struggling O against our tough D. Points will be at a premium. How good is their kicker?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Ready for Missouri so we get bowl eligible again!

Yes!! I want to beat them by 20+! Leave no doubt! When we win out, there is a very good chance we end up with the 5th best overall SEC record. That equals going to a very nice bowl game.

13 of 19 on field goals. He’s also missed 3 extra points.

LSU defense is awful. Bama without Tua is not too good either, mainly because their defense isn't great either. If Bama could still play defense like they used to, they could lean on their running game and a game manager QB to win...but they can't.

Fair. Although their defense isn’t elite, I wouldn’t call it awful. However, I think when you look at resumes they clearly have the best to date.

I think you can make an argument for any of the top 3. Frankly, I’m still riding with Clemson winning it all until they don’t.

Weird that Tua, maybe the best bama QB ever, in his time as starter, will have won 0 rings.

Defense got lazy. “Hey no worries they’ll score!”

 

[Aesius]

LSU giving up 38 to Vandy is a huge red flag to me.

 

[engineerVOL]

Have watched this dozens of times...

Yep, they won’t win it all. Always comes down to whom has the better front seven. Ohio State or Clemson will win it all.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Was even still a starter when he started all of whatever he did? Serious question. Idk but I thought he was done.

No. He started out as a good QB but his performance had declined and now he cites himself as an undeniable talent.

How he handled this workout demonstrates the unnecessary difficulty of working with him. He has a perfectly good NFL stadium to throw in with 25 teams saying they will come and he decides to throw in the cold at a high school an hour away. 8 teams showed up. They’ve got better things to do than deal with that.

Homer writer. Their D is good, not great. Their DC schemed his way into a good performance. Mullen shot himself in the foot several times in the first half with dumb play calls. His O-line played awful.

Chaney versus their DC will be a more competitive situation. I'll take Chaney. JJ will have a great day against that smaller secondary and Callaway will not be stopped without double teams. Our O-line is capable of doing much better than UF's did. Ours is much more physical. So they will not be able to make us one dimensional like they did UF with their putrid run game.
