Oso planning to go pro
Is there really a better college football player in America than Devonta Smith?
Hard to compare, but that QB at Clemson ain’t bad.
Touchdown for the back door cover?
True, but ND had one TD called back and the game ended with them in the red zone, so It wasn’t really a bad beat - though one could complain that Alabama took their foot off of the gas a little in the second half.
Thanks for this on Trask. I don't follow college football super-closely, but I saw those INTs, each of which was quite poorly thrown. On the pick-6, he stared at his receiver the entire play, a total telegraph job, and the defender easily stepped in front. But absolutely, being without top receivers affects QBs in ways above and beyond throws and catches.I'm just thinking the Panthers might take a QB, and they obviously aren't getting Lawrence, so I'm looking at the others through process of elimination. Fields is already off my list, and I was thinking Trask was a no-go, too, but I didn't know about the WRs. It is impossible for me to know about the S. Dakota St. guy. And I'm suspicious of the BYU guy. The Panthers have SO many needs other than QB to address that unless the guy is close to a sure thing; right now, I'm hoping they go for OL, LB or CB. Desperately need a TE, too - maybe Pitts!
Especially since 1st round QB prospect Trey Lance goes to North Dakota St.
Not only was ND uncompetitive for 80% of the game. They were so offensively anemic that Bama took it easy and stopped going for the throat in the second half. So you just got a slog of a game to end it. Congrats to ND on their amazing moral victory covering the spread.
tOSU looks really good.
Yep. Never in doubt, and more lopsided than the score showed.
Outcome never in doubt, true. More lopsided than a 17 point spread? I don’t think so. First Downs : 24 each. Total Yards: Bama 437 ND 375. TOP: Bama 26:14, ND 33:46. Alabama had the best player (Smith) and the speed edge (big) at the skill positions. Meanwhile, OSU has 400 yards and 35 points in the first half!
Ok ... so maybe Fields (aka Lewis) doesn’t suck.
And the headcase Fields just showed up to keep the game at least semi alive.
