WSU RB Max Borghi trending on Twitter..."Becoming a household name" one source posted.

7 rushes for 38 yards and 3 receptions for 34 yards and a TD. Nice to see him score against the Buffs, who recruited him and then recruited a couple of other RB with upside, after promising Borghi they wouldn't, so he bolted to WSU.

As it stands Isabella should be the front runner for the Biletnikoff and Sternberger should be a shoe-in for the Mackey award.
I think his only competition for it is Hawaii’s John Ursua because he has 15 TD’s, I think Antoine Wesley and Tylan Wallace have an outside shot if they have big games to end the season.

This kid is special. Laird may not play on the most talented team but he is going to be playing on Sundays someday!

I have seen better weeks but overall a fairly even Steven week.

Was upset WR Andy Isabella didn't have a huge game against BYU. I picked the game up on a local fee. Isabella is still limping dammit. Think it is a calf issue. That freshman BYU QB Zach Wilson is a terrific athlete and one to watch.

As for David Sills one of those "dropped" TD passes was really difficult.

And what can I say about Iowa. I will rename them the team that shoots itself in the foot. Every game they have lost this season has been due to mental mistakes on offense. Brutal news I guess The Great White (Nope) was murdered. Did not see Riley Moss on the field. Of course a black DB gets burned on the winning TD. His future status? Probably a promotion. Moss is better than the others but the CB position is locked in a Holy Caste Hold and for that to change we might need a miracle.

Speaking of which if football completely mutates into the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State type of game I will exit left. I can't stand Alabama but at least I can respect the way they play football. That caste defense crap that was on display with the Oklahoma teams is pure garbage and it has infiltrated the NFL now. It is to the point where it seems like it is all a black wink wink thing as offensive skill players put up huge numbers and black defenders know their jobs are not in jeopardy no matter what happens. Basketball on grass and it goes against everything I love about football.

Nice running stats for two speedsters. Air Force Kade Remsburg 6-99-1 in a big win over New Mexico and G Tech's Noah Cottrell 6-51 in a nice win over dreaded Miami. Cottrell is averaging over 8 yards a carry this season! WR Brad Stewart had a clutch TD in the game too. And Washington State's Max Borghi is an NFL prospect. He is a cross between CM and Danny Woodhead. He emulates CM.

Utah led by Chase Hansen took care of caste Oregon. Hansen looks like a first round pick. And Britain Covey ran it 3 times for 29 yards. Covey still needs to get the ball more. I am rooting for Utah to win the Pac 12 South. Amazingly Cal and Patrick Laird stuffed USC. Good to see. Cal has a rugged D meaning there are white players---hint Oklahoma fruit cup clubs. And Stanford WR Trent Irwin is getting a little more involved late in the season with a 6-70 stat line in a win over caste infested Oregon State.

If Josh Allen was my favorite college QB last season I am thinking Duke's Daniel Jones will be the next in line. Great running and the NFL scouts are starting to think he could be a number one pick. Up against Clemson next. That should be interesting.

The Clemson game was eye opening. BC's huge DE Chad Allen looks like the number two pick in the 2019 NFL draft behind Nick Bosa. He was destroying Clemson's offensive line all night long. And you can bet he will swat down a pass or two every game.

WR Hunter Renfrow was solid last night as mentioned above 8-80. I think he solidified his Combine invite. And S Tanner Muse who hits like a truck was tremendous last night and like Renfrow the announcers played up his athletic ability. On one play both Muse and backup S Nolan Turner were in on a tackle. First double white safety on a tackle sighting this year. Ha.

Michigan's WR Oliver Martin caught his first TD as Michigan drilled hapless caste Rutgers. Also had a nifty run too. I like Shea Patterson their QB. And CM's younger brother who is the back up.

Nice heads up Red with East Carolina WR Tyler Snead. Small but nice stat line.

Yale and Princeton put up big numbers. WR Jesper Horsted 5-65-1. Yale's WRs Reid Klubnik 8-234-2 and JP Shofti 2-78-1. Lost season for injured RB Zane Dudek. He will bounce back next season.

Again great performances by many white defenders all over. Michigan could not block Michigan State's DE Kenny Willekes.

If the Raiders don't draft either Nick Bosa, Chad Allen or Michigan's Chase Winovich they might as well foreclose. These edge players will change a franchise instantly.

I watched the rest of the Cal game this morning.....As noted above, Laird had tough sledding throughout the game. No holes.....Fourh and one late, he got 10-12 hard yards and ended up with 71 yards and around 3.5 per carry.....Good win for a bright Cal team.
They should get a bowl game. I’d like to see Laird rip a long run or two before his season is over to hit 1000 yards in back to back seasons......Something Nall never accomplished.....

Nice write up Shadowlight - nice to see Oliver Martin get a little involved - was hoping he was going to have a bigger year than he has. It's too bad the younger McCaffery is done for the year after getting injured in garbage time last week. Michigan should be able to handle the suddenly sputtering Ohio St team in a few weeks.

Flynn Nagel has become an afterthought after his huge performance a few weeks ago. I am glad to see Northwestern winning the Big Ten west. Would of been happy with Iowa or Wisconsin as well. Thorson continues to be an inconsistent performer - no telling what his draft stock is going to be.

Grier, Lock and Finley all played well so they did nothing to damage their draft stock. Totally agree with you on Daniel Jones - really nice player flying under the radar but slowly getting national recognition as a potential 1st rounder. I call it the Carson Wentz effect - big, tall, athletic strong armed passers getting some additional buzz since Wentz stormed the NFL. Josh Allen benefited last year from having similar physical attributes/athletic ability and I think Jones will benefit this year if he declares. He also has been coached by David Cutcliffe who coached both Peyton and Eli Manning at Tennessee and Ole Miss.

Justin Herbert played well against a good Utah defense - the Oregon defense blew that game late. He is another QB that fits the Wentz profile. Not sure if he will declare - I wouldn't mind him coming back for his Senior season to get some more reps and help Oregon make a run. Next year the Pac 12 North will look a little different with Browning and Minshew both out at Washington and Wazzu. Stanford will need to find an identity and a running back (wish they recruited Borghi! he looks fantastic in the limited touches he gets in every game I have seen) and get Costello and those dynamic TEs more involved.

Speaking of PAC 12 North - Gardner Minshew should be in the Heisman convo - West Coast Bias is at play as is the blind praise of black QBs. Remove either Murray from Oklahoma or Tagualovia from Alabama and you get the same result. Minshew transferred from ECU to Washington St and has turned Washington St from a good team to potential college play off team. That whole offense runs through Minshew. From what I have seen Minshew has the requisite size, accuracy and arm strength to be considered as a next level QB. Maybe it's his facial hair but he kind of reminds me of Ryan Fitzpatrick. If you have not seen him yet I would recommend checking out a Washington State game this year - they have a winnable game vs Arizona next week and the Apple Cup vs Washington in two weeks.

I think my 2 favorite defensive players for the upcoming draft are Chase Hansen and Maxx Crosby (he’s a rs-JR so he could have a year left). Hansen already has 19 tfl which is insane for a first year linebacker, he’s probably a 4.5 guy and should be garnering some first round buzz as the combine approaches. As for Crosby, he’s a former high school teammate of mine and he’s been putting up monster numbers, yesterday he had 8 tackles 4 tfl 2 sacks and a pick 6. He reminds me of JJ Watt.

I also just saw that Michael Walker is leading the ncaa in kick return yards and is 7th in punt return yards. He’s been forgotten in the offense but might have an nfl shot as a return guy.

I wish Hansen would move back to Safety in the NFL.

Their are some real caste teams having bad years this year. Teams that have been the basis for establishing the caste system - Florida St and Miami - both with the supposed best affletes on the field are struggling to be in bowl contention. Louisville has one of the worst and totally black defense that has been fielded by a major program since I can remember, Va Tech is struggling as well.

Nice write up - our guys did alot of damage on the ground this week at the FCS level! But none of them are capable of even playing the position in the NFL - That is what the caste system dictates which is some real flawed logic. Still want that Juano go to reappear because I want to hear his "logic" on that Louisville defense filled with the supposed best athletes.
