Hey pre-game he said it's about the players not the plays! Whatever that means

A rephrasing of Jimmy Johnson's famous line: "It's about the Jimmy's and Joe's, not the X's and O's".

If you have better players than the opposition, especially at this level, it doesn't matter how good their play calling is.

Yep. The truly elite teams at the college level can beat the good teams with their backups nine times out of ten. There's just a huge overall talent gap.

Last post on this junk but this talk of Notre Dame joining the ACC is beyond ridiculous.  This will never happen period.  Them being an independent should probably be banned but they are in a perfect situation.  No other team can situate themselves to make the playoffs like Notre Dame.  It’s a different playing field

And let me predict it…they will make the playoff this year

There should be a stipulation that if you don't qualify for a conference championship game then by rule you can't qualify for the playoffs.

What’s ironic is Matt Rhule’s QB situation at Nebraska is almost identical to his QB situation at Baylor.

In Rhule’s first year at Baylor he picked up dual threat quarterback, Anu Solomon, from Arizona. Solomon only completed 43% of his passes in the two games he played; one was a loss to Liberty, the other, a loss to UTSA. After a few more swing and misses, Rhule eventually found Charlie Brewer who was a more prototypical pocket passing QB.

So what does Rhule do this time… he goes to the transfer portal and picks up a triple option QB in Jeff Sims.

Genius

Rhule has a pulse!

What a poo show of a play that was and it ends in a TD 

[MillionDollarCam]

What Utah is doing without Cam Rising is pretty impressive.

I flipped to the Fl/Utah game and go back to the State/Uconn game and one of State's players is down with both training staffs around him. Just before they went to break, they wheeled the gurney out.

Running directly into a wall of humanity is an interesting philosophy for a kick returner.

Ugh.

The State player gave a thumbs up as they carted him off, so hopefully the kid will be alright.

So is State horrible or did Jim Mora turn UCONN around.

Brennan Armstrong doesn’t look like the same QB from two years ago, that’s for sure.

Uconn was legit last year. Still not a playoff caliber team though. Uconn was flat out terrible before Mora arrived.
