Not sure why Utah didn’t use TOs, not sure why they didn’t let OSU score, not sure why their KR didn’t go down before clock expired. Fun game but everyone knew the outcome when tOSU had 2 minutes left. 346 receiving yards is insane.
Really feel bad for the guy. Hopefully it isn’t that bad and won’t affect his draft status. But this is just going to accelerate this movement. If the playoffs expand, they need to find a way to offer some compensation that players could turn into disability insurance. BTW Greg McElroy claiming this won’t affect his draft status is kind of icky.
ESPN execs must have passed the memo to their on-air personalities about praising the kids that play in these exhibitions and question the heart of those that don’t. Pretty gross day for espn yesterday
I don't watch exhibition games (except the Panthers - ha!), so I didn't see/hear any of ESPN's commentary. But the general tone out there is that "So-and-so is playing because he's a great teammate who loves his team," which obviously implies that a guy like Kenny Pickett is a bad teammate who doesn't love his team.
One saying a guy is a good teammate who plays doesn't mean the other who doesn't play is a bad teammate.

OK, Mr. N, but here's some fun takes for you from some "experts" ..."This era of player doesn't love football.""Kids don't really care.""They have a sense of entitlement.""These student-athletes nowadays ... "Hey you kids ... get off of Herbstreit's and Howard's lawns!!
They aren’t wrong though. The numbers on transfer portal is more definitive proof of that, especially when kids go up during preseason practice or during the season.
I think they are showing their love of football by not wanting to sit out the next year due to a major injury for what amounts to an exhibition game. Do the pros not care about football because they don’t play full pre-season games?
Gonna need you to show your work on that math.
Just look at the transfer numbers today compared to prior years. Didn’t get QB1 as a freshman? Didn’t get 30 minutes a game and 15 shots a game? I’m out. Or are the Hausers the only ones who can be relentlessly criticized for that?I don’t begrudge a kid for not playing in a bowl/exhibition game, but the transfer numbers show the new attitudes of instant gratification or else more than anything.
Of course it’s all on the players in your eyes. They are the problem right? Never the coaches or anyone else. But it’s the players who don’t understand work or sacrifice, but simply want “instant gratification.” 🙄🙄🙄
Yeah they can tell that to Kenny Pickett who will now go at least a full round sooner than Corral
Matt Corrall's draft stock isn't going to change because he suffered a sprained ankle in a bowl game.
Yes, it's the fault of coaches kids bounce around from high school to high school, then when they don't get the starting spot in the preseason or a new commitment comes in, they bail. Case in point: Quinn Evers. Bailing after one semester.Hell, the MBB season is around the halfway point and there are already 256 players in the Transfer Portal. For football, 1422 kids from FBS, 1131 from FCS. That's a lot of bad coaches, eh?
