I like Restrepo.  But he if he is your #1 and what your O is going through….I don’t call that a championship caliber O.  Thats not how  Championship caliber Os with good QBs are built. 

Hunter Renfrow was a legend.  But Hunter Renfrow was an accessory/role player.  
 

 

They don't have a number one, which imo could make them harder to defend.  4 guys with 20 plus catches is better than 1 guy with 60 or 70.  And most importantly, the run game is averaging 5 ypc or better even if you subtract Ward's scrambles/runs.  They can run and pass with the best of them.  

They just can't stop anyone (well anyone other than Florida) and while they have a good shot at being in the playoffs, they have very little chance of winning because of poor defense.

sorry to the Clemson bettor that was too late for advice.

Score was 41-17.  Clemson covers the 21 point spread. 

Dabo sits his starters.   Final score 48-31.   Lost bet.

LOL @ that onside kick attempt

Smart by Dabo though. Get those reserves some snaps.

Agree, a good offense will run it up on them.  They will face a decent defense as well at some point.

Everyone runs it up on them. They've just had enough offense to carry them. But the elite teams are gonna have enough defense to get enough stops to win comfortably IMO. Ward and the offense will still put up points but not enough.

Bama or Tenn?

Restrepo is the guy though.  It’s him and then the rest.  He nearly has double the yardage and double the scores of any other WR you could name. 

I just think championship caliber defenses keep that O down…..and then anyone can put up points on that D (as you said).  Good D front is going to cause way more negative plays given the chances Miami essentially invites for everyone

I think Georgia and Alabama both get their asses kicked today.

Rhule should never be in the NFL.

But he has shown the ability to turn college programs around.  Even with today's loss, Nebraska is off to its best start in a long time.  It will be interesting to see if he can bring the program back to a championship level if he sticks around for more than a couple of years.

Announcers just called NC State "lesser competition"

 

[jayboogieman]

And the Vols turn it over already

It helps him keep kids too.  Why his model works.  No one in college football plays more kids than Clemson.  Starters basically call it a day each week before the 4th starts.  He is always grooming his roster up each week. 

Hurts the scoreboard eyeball test and why his studs back in the day could never see a Heisman.  Think if Watson and Trevor hadn’t missed so much action they could have padded their stats more for that race.
