2024 College Football Thread: Confused Georgia players attribute slow start to Kirby Smart begging them to take their feet off the gas (14 Viewers)

[Penguin]

5/177/1 and he could be a high school Junior

 

[heckmanm]

Too quick

Laugh reaction

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Milroe now QB1. Beck sucks

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Unbelievable comeback, unbelievable answer by Bama, just an insane 2nd Half/4th Q

 

[Corporation]

I preferred the first half

 

[massraider]

Ryan Williams will be old enough to rent a car in 7 years

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

I want some overtime

 

[Steve Tasker]

Wyoming is a train wreck this season, but at least they’re holding their own against Air Force (for now) during homecoming

Big win!

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

How old is this Ryan Williams kid?

Please share results

 

[Steve Tasker]

Terrible throw

 

[Penguin]

Born: February 9, 2007 (age 17 years)

Will enter the draft at younger than 19 years 2 months old and 1st NFL regular season at 19 years 7 months old

 

[sho nuff]

Fun down the stretch…

18 year old Ohio State freshman Jeremiah Smith is right there as well

 

[SoBeDad]

18 year old Ohio State freshman Jeremiah Smith is right there as well

The 2026 NFL draft could be interesting. Calvin Johnson at #2 was the highest for a WR, I think.

 

[Man In The Box]

This Jeanty kid is decent.

The 2026 NFL draft could be interesting. Calvin Johnson at #2 was the highest for a WR, I think.

Keyshawn went 1. But I don’t think we’ll see another go that high unless there are zero QBs worth considering.

 

[-OZ-]

Anyone else think we’ll see a rematch late this season?

Or two?

 

[Corporation]

I had a stroke. Great grit by Georgia. I think Tennessee handles Bama in Knoxville but it will probably be a shootout like this. Great win by Bama.

Thank goodness for the quick recovery. Glad you made it! RTR!

Irving Fryar and Dave Parks too. Only WRs taken first overall.

 

[loser]

Going to the Georgia game next week. Will be an angry crowd. Think I’ll avoid walking close to the roads.

Hey me too! TBH they're pretty fair weather overall, but there will be barking at children.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Id love to see some Williams or Smith high school tape because there's no way anyone covered them

 

[Snoopy]

Georgia showing grit

Grits?

 

[Osaurus]

Wyoming is a train wreck this season, but at least they’re holding their own against Air Force (for now) during homecoming

More than holding their own, I'd say

2nd half was wayyyy different than the 1st half

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I saw Rocket Ismail in a High School All-Star game. He was uncoverable - in an AS game filled with future D1 guys. I have seen a lot of HS football. He was the fastest I've ever seen at that level.

Michigan: Just go with your freshman QB stud.

Agree 1000%

Alex Orgi is the worst starting QB I have ever seen at Michigan. Can`t throw, has zero vision passing or running. Thought at the very least he would be a dynamic running but he is a plodder who can`t beat a defender to the edge, and can`t run the read option. Handing off when he should keep it, keep it for little gain when he should be handing off. And was snapping the ball late in the game with 10-15 seconds on the play clock. Announcers could not believe it. The is a coaching issue too. After one that should have been corrected.

Orgi would not start for any other team in the BIG, maybe the MAC. It is obvious why he was not named the starter to begin the season. Davis was not much better but at least he was a threat to pass..even if it was to the other team.

Why teams even play safeties is beyond me as there is no way he can hit a deep pass. 90% of his completions are quick sideway passes. Nothing downfield.

Would not be surprised at all in the future to see a 5 man DL, 5 LBs, and one safety back just in case.

Gotta be the first WR drafted 1.01 since Keyshawn. Passing on this kid would be career suicide.

 

[General Malaise]

Not a lot of people know this but it's true -

Oregon Ducks are 4-0.


Still not in love with Dillon Gabriel but I suppose he's "fine".

Also, why were they wearing Green Bay Packers' uniforms last night? I watched the 2nd half with a big block of cheese that wasn't so big when the game ended.

the good news is that Dave Portnoy has committed up to $3m per year to have a top QB at Michigan going forward

His stats are insane though. 81% completion rate and 9 TDs vs 1 Int. Re their 4-0 record, I have Oregon beating OSU at home and going undefeated, but thus far, like OSU, they have yet to play a ranked team so not much yet to crow about.

That's how I felt his entire time at OU

Yeah, that's the thing - the numbers are really good so I can't pinpoint why I'm not a huge fan of his. I'm just not "feeling it" with him.

But if they beat OSU I might go out and buy his jersey in XXL.

SMU is a wild ride. Maybe 10 years ago was close to throwing in the towel. Was a 0-4 vs P5 schools losing combined 200-10 or something around there. Multiple high school teams in the area have larger capacity stadiums and fill them. D2 was talked about seriously.

Pony up.

As many are pointing out on social media, it is ironic that in FSU’s lawsuit against the ACC they specifically called out SMU’s admission as an example of the conference’s demise.

Reporters and Holtz used to have fun with questions about Rocket back in they day. They'd just lob a ball at Lou to see what he'd come up with:

"Coach, how fast is Rocket Ismail?"
"That boy's so fast, I caught him out on the quad the other day playing tennis with himself...."

next week....

"Coach, Rocket looked fast out there today. Does he always look this fast to you in practice?"
"Man he's so fast, he can hit the light switch and be in bed before it's dark in the room...."

It is. I know friends of my daughters who are now doctors that did not get in with a 4.0. Lot of out of state students at U-M.

As I think was noted a couple pages back, at least half (probably more) would happily take Saudi money to attract better players if offered. Whoever this Portnoy guy is, my guess is he’s probably never taken a bone saw to a journalist who criticized him, even if maybe he’s wanted to.

Half? Everyone would take the $$$$ from anywhere if there was no backlash.

Right now the NIL is like the wild west. There are no rules or regulations. The NCAA will be obsolete and cease to exist for the revenue sports in a couple years, and college will have a commissioner like the NFL and NBA. To try to keep it somewhat fair they need a spending cap per year per team. Then the new career will be a college GM to decide how to allocate.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Then the new career will be a college GM to decide how to allocate.

That's already starting to happen in both football and basketball.

Adrian Wojnarowski. NBA Insider, just retired from ESPN to become the Basketball GM at St. Bonaventure. Almost every team has a NIL specialist at the very least.

 

[Capella]

and college will have a commissioner like the NFL and NBA

No chance the SEC and Big Ten agree to this.

 

[massraider]

There are no caps on endorsements. Anywhere.

If a car dealership wants to pay Arch Manning, but only if he is at Texas, there is no rule coming down the pike to stop them.

There is no cap coming.
