2017 College Football Thread: Hawaiian QB devastated to find out Jesus was "kinda rooting for Georgia" (2 Viewers)

Way too early top 10 for next season per ESPN. 

1. Alabama

2. Clemson

3. Ohio State

4. Oklahoma

5. Georgia

6. Wisconsin

7. Miami

8. Washington

9. Michigan State

10. West Virginia

 
Would any of these fly? 

Jesus himself tells Hawaiian QB to back off a little 

Jesus descends down from heaven to tell Hawaiian QB the crosses made of face paint are "a bit much" 

Jesus tells Hawaiian QB "tbh I was kinda rooting for Georgia"

10. West Virginia

2017 record: 7-6, 5-4 Big 12
Returning starters: Seven offense, seven defense, two special teams

Key losses: RB Justin Crawford, WR Ka'Raun White, G Kyle Bosch, LB Al-Rasheed Benton, LB Elijah Battle, S Kyzir White, CB Mike Daniels Jr.

Outlook: As soon as quarterback Will Grier and All-American receiver David Sills V announced they were returning for their senior seasons, West Virginia became Oklahoma's biggest threat in the Big 12. There's no doubt that the Mountaineers are going to score a lot of points this coming season. With Sills, Gary Jennings and Alabama transfer T.J. Simmons, the Mountaineers might have the best receiving corps in the country in 2018.

But West Virginia has to continue to improve on defense to become a legitimate Big 12 title contender. The Mountaineers open the season against Tennessee in Charlotte, and they play Kansas State, TCU and Oklahoma at home in Big 12 play.

 
Washington vs Auburn 2018 on a Neutral field.  :lol:    

Washington travels 2700 miles while Auburn uber's to the field in Atlanta.  WTF

Jesus Hates Georgia

In all seriousness, this was devastating for many of my friends and my Dad.  After what happened with the Falcons I can’t imagine how they feel this morning.  I’m not sure you can find 2 loses like that within a year of each other - considering how they lost and that both were for titles.

New state motto, Georgia: ThisFreakingClose

 
There’s a story floating that Christian wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, and Austin Bryant all received 2nd round grades and may come back.  I can’t imagine they do and I also feel certain as least two of them go in round 1, but it’s fun to speculate. The word is that all the QBs coming out will push top defensive talent down the board, kind of like how WRs pushed those guys down last draft.

Classes start back today, so I guess we’ll know sooner than later. Guessing they all leave, though. 

 
Any good insight after the fact on why Chubb looked so mediocre? I know Michel was kept relatively in check but at least he popped off a couple and you saw the explosion. Chubb looked like he never had a chance.

Would love to have those guys back, even if it is just one of them.  I see that Ray Ray has declared as well.  He should give Artavis Scott a call and ask his opinion.  I'd like to see him stay in school another year.  

 
Really, Ohio state and Oklahoma both lose their Q.B.'s and they are ranked higher than Wisconsin, and Clemson who lost to Syracuse and just shat the sheets on National T.V. are all ranked higher than Wisconsin.

Hyatt is up in the air as well - Love to have him back. I expect Deon Cain to go and honestly that’s ok with me.  He basically just pads his stats when the game is out of reach (TD up 30 against Miami comes to mind). The Ray Ray departure is odd. I don’t really understand it, but if he’s graduated I suppose his stock won’t go up. I’m not really dreading him leaving either to be honest. For every one amazing play (see link below), he’d muff or fumble on 2-3 other plays. As I saw someone put it, “its time to get off Ray Ray’s wild ride.”  It is kind of strange that out of all the WRs to come through, these two have underwhelmed me the most.

Good to know Wisconsin fans are already crying about the rankings for a season that doesn’t start for another 7 months.

He's not quick enough. Wouldn't shock me to see him last till round 6 or something.

Ray Ray fielding punts is an adventure, for sure.  He made me nervous every time he had the ball.  Hyatt staying would be huge.  I don't know if you watched the Army all star game where Lawrence had the two early picks.  He under threw the first guy a little and defender made a good play.  The second one was an ugly attempt at a bubble screen.  But these guys had a week of practice together so no big deal.  But he really finished that game strong and made an incredible throw running to his left and throwing back.  Guy has a great arm and vision.  And can run too.  Can't wait to see him in orange.  Going to be an interesting QB battle this spring.

tOSU has 2 QB's that are already better than JT Barrett. IDK what happened to JT, but he regressed badly, 2nd half of the PSU game notwithstanding. Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell are both studs.

Maybe so, maybe so.  I tend to think Urban Meyer would be starting his best guy, but maybe not.  Maybe he deferred to the senior, though his history going back to the Cardale Jones thing leads me to believe that he does not think they are better and I know Meyer knows more than me, and he has far greater access to information, so I tend to believe otherwise, but I certainly don't know.  Have you had opportunities to see these other two young men perform much, in H.S., in college games, in spring games, in practice.    What is their story?  Are they Meyer recruits, transfers, what?  Fill me in a bit.  

 
I seem to remember Haskins filling in this year, maybe against Michigan?  I remember him looking pretty good. The other guy, my recollection of him is that he was a highly recruited runt.  is he the next Johnny Manziel guy?

 
Haskins came in and bailed out the Bucks against Michigan. Down 20-14, Bucks win 31-20. His passing is so much better than Barrett's, it's just night and day.  I have not seen Martell play. He's out of Bishop Gorman in Vegas and, IIRC, was something like the #2 dual threat QB in his class. I also forgot about Joe Burrow, who was supposed to be JT's backup this year, but broke his hand. Burrow was Mr. Ohio, and is also supposed to be a beast, but idk. He graduates in May, so if he doesn't win the job he can transfer and play immediately. Going to be an interesting spring in Columbus, but my money would have to be on Haskins.

All 3 have amazing potential.  Haskins has a phenomenal arm, while Martell is a mobile QB but also whose arm is supposed to be very good for a freshman.  Burrow showed such promise, though the worry is now he will try to transfer, possibly to Nebraska.

I’m excited to see Lawrence. I think he’ll do well - didn’t see the AA game but it doesn’t really concern me either. I remember having a concernsation at some point on whethere or not to keep Tommy as HC to ensure we keep Willy Korn’s commitment.  Of course I know UGA fans had the same situation and wanted to keep Richt to ensure Eason. It’s weird how those work out. 

Also just read Hyatt is coming back :highfive: 

edit: Also

”From David Hood, senior writer of Tigernet.com, regarding Ferre­ll/ Bryant/Wilkins/Hyatt:

"I know there has been a lot of rumor and speculation out there. To be honest, I am not FOR SURE what is going to happen, but I've been told that their teammates are being told they are all coming back. That is, of course, far from being a ringing endorsement but that's what we are dealing with. Personally, I think there is a very strong chance that all four return, along with LB Kendall Joseph. 

So, why nothing official? I've been told that head coach Dabo Swinney is in Houston for the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year ceremony today and tonight, and he will meet with all of them tomorrow. Once that meeting occurs, we should have news for you. Until then, unless one of those guys releases something via Twitter or some other form of social media, it's all guesswork. 

Again, it sounds favorable that all will return, but nothing official yet. "

And Kyler Murray isn't exactly chopped liver.

That would be great.  If just one or two come back.  Great to hear Hyatt is coming back.  I think he could use another year to get stronger before entering the NFL.
