The only PAC-12 game this week that is less than a 2 TD spread is UCLA at Colorado at 11.5, could be a boring week out west.
Then I check SEC games and see two teams favored by at least 3 TDs.

Yeah, the wheels are coming off up there. I saw what you read as well. Apparently his uncle shared a lot of this info.

This doesn't add up; Reddit told me that Tennessee was going to the national championship this year. Was it all an elaborate ruse?
I've been a fan of their HC since he was at Tech as the OC. Unfortunately for us he had to deal with Tuberville's handcuffs while in Lubbock but he still kept up the stats we were used to and recruited very well.

Something happened at halftime to the Florida secondary, they remembered how to cover. However, Eason is clearly going to take a serious shot at the Heisman in a year or two, provided Georgia's OL doesn't mimic Florida's.
Supposedly, it's due more to the fact that Hurd feels that Jones lied to him. Hurd apparently talked to Jones about transferring last year, and Jones told him that Tennessee would run out of the i-formation more this year and did so in the bowl game in order to convince Hurd to stay. However, they haven't used the i-formation this year, which has left Hurd feeling betrayed by Jones.
UGA OL should get a shot in the arm of talent next year with a bunch of big, highly rated recruits committed right now. They're after one more highly rated tackle and if they get that I will feel pretty good.
We're "losing" 3 senior OL next year. It can't be worse than this, can it? There are one or two spots up for grab next year. Wouldn't shock me if one of those tackle spots is manned by a true freshman.
And yeah, Eason is going to be special. But he needs a line. To Kirby's credit or detriment, the team is playing the style he wants them to play, which is physical Pro-style. Could be one or two losses better if they'd adapted to the personnel, but I think he's taking a longer term approach at developing his program and Eason in particular. The Process is painful.

Jealous. We've had something like five bad recruiting years for the OL.
He needs a competent line, but not a great one. He made some incredible throws and decisions when flushed out.

I'm sure everyone is shocked that butch Jones turned out to be a douchbag that was only interested in helping himself.
Yeah, I was also impressed with those roll outs. That's not supposed to be something he can do. Then again, he was a spread QB in highschool like almost all kids so really, playing under center and I-formation is all new to him. Maybe rolling out is more comfortable. I do think that if we went to a spread that we would have had better results this year, but I think they're wanting to develop him into what he signed on for and what they want to be.

I always thought it was funny UT hired a guy that got destroyed by the coach they fired. As a Quasi UC fan though I was sure as shit glad he left, such a douche canoe.

God damn it I wish we had not lost to this fucking Tennessee team; after choking away a 21-0 lead no less.
With respect to Hurd: normally I'd say a kid is a tool for transferring but if it's true that Jones promised him something that wasn't even close to being reality, I understand it.
Dobbs need to be sat as well; dude sucks worse than Luke Del Rio.

What is the story with Kongba?
People were calling them the favorites to win the PAC 12 and many thought it was crazy... The fact that they were ranked in the preseason was 100% hype
They were this year's "team mentioned so often as a dark horse they're not really a dark horse" to me. Lots of talk about them winning the conference in the preseason.
Oh god, I just saw the news about the Texas DE named Breckyn.
And this is why you don't name your kids wierd ass names, because if you do and someone else with the same wierd ass name does something stupid and i mean worse than this guy, there are a lot less people with the same name so you're singled out more. This outside of the fact its a bad name.

Christian Wilkins lit that dude up.
His dad is Britt and his brother is Bryce.
::edit::
Texas finally posted the transcript from today's player availability. The part about wanting to injure Mahomes is omitted. :jnc
The ESPN story has some detail, though.
"when you see a game that has 1,500 yards of total offense and 120+ points, as a defensive player how does that make you feel?" "It makes me feel like I have to go injure the quarterback."
"I say injure that quarterback...That's the mentality right now. We've got to take him out. We know he's banged up, and we've just got to get after him."
It's not a good look for a sport that is starting to become viewed as "too violent". This is why I support player safety rules such as targeting, the sport needs to evolve if it doesn't want to go the way of boxing.

Not sure if Brekyn knows this because he was in HS at the time, but the last time Texas beat Tech, one of the Texas players hit and injured Mahomes badly enough to take him out of the game. Mahomes got the revenge W last year and now its the rubber match on Saturday. Hopefully we can beat Tech without injuring anybody. Lets have a fair fight that one team wins 70-63 the way Big 12 football is meant to be played
Doesn't seem like anything he said was out of context then. He's saying what all defensive guys want to do tbh.

Yup ESPN just announced it as well. UCLA now has to find a way to upset either USC or Colorado with a former walk on QB. Oh and they have the worst rushing offense in the conference.
