2018 Bowl Season

[Bucky]

These games have sucked today. Boring day of football.

Very rare these days seeing Two White Safeties playing in Power 5 Conf. like at Clemson. Nolan Turner had an INT & Tanner Muse was all over the field!

Redshirt Freshman Center Creed Humphrey (Oklahoma) a Man child at 6'-5" 325

TE/WR Grant Calcaterra with the tremendous catch!

Oklahoma's Defense is pathetic...Alabama busting thru like a wet paper bag!

 

[northwinds]

The Heisman Trophy winner kinda sucks........just sayin.

I haven't watched much Notre Dame football the last few years, but wow, they are almost as black as your typical SEC team. Dabo's CLEMSON team looks whiter, especially with Lawrence slinging the ball and Renfro out catching them.

Believe it or not, this ND team is actually White-friendly compared to the last several years. Their recruiting over the past 2-3 years has been fairly White-friendly as well, compared to the recent past, so they should be pretty watchable the next few years.

 

[Heretic]

These games have sucked today. Boring day of football.

Overall, outside of a few games (like Wisconsin's win against Miami) it's been an uneventful and boring bowl season, with many results not going the way I was hoping (like Michigan's loss to ultra-Caste Florida). Hopefully, Iowa and Northwestern can pull out wins to make it more satisfying.

In unsurprising news - Oklahoma can't play defense. I bet alot of those Oklahoma defenders end up in the NFL though.

 

[Deceptive Speed]

Clemson started two white safeties tonight in there 30 to 3 romp over Notre Dame with usual underrated Sr. Tanner Muse and So. Nolan Turner who had an Int tonight.3

The Michigan loss was disappointing but they were without several key defensive members who were "sitting" out for draft purposes. But DE Chase Winovich played and he had 3 tackles for losses including a sack. Weird but he needs surgery on something undisclosed but said he would wait until after the combine. My only thought is if it will affect his testing numbers get the surgery now and sit out the combine. Bottom line though he was terrific yesterday especially in the second half . Looks like a first rounder to me and an A+ on attitude and toughness. Raiders are you listening?

I detest HC Nick Saban and he was screaming like a rabid animal at special teams S Keaton Anderson. Anderson wasn't "allowed" to play on defense but later on redeemed himself recovering an on side kick.

Now that I have gotten a full two game look at QB Kyler Murray I am here to tell everyone yes he will be able to play in the NFL--drum roll please---as a punt returner. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. He does not look like an NFL QB! And he is very small. Great college player he wouldn't be the first terrific college player who doesn't have what it takes to play in the pros. To me he as peaked and it is downhill from here. And if he chooses baseball I could see him getting buried in the minor leagues.

Oklahoma's defense is made up of underwear "athletes" and Mack Brown said this morning their D played well. What are you on crack mister? That was typical pansy Big 12 defensive football getting the ball rammed down their throats by a physical tough team. Of course the media won't talk about it and surely some of these fools will be selected in upcoming drafts and bring their headless games to the NFL. If a predominantly white defense played like Oklahoma they would be subject to 40 lashes and sent away to Siberia.

I missed the beginning of the Clemson game but it was noted above that S Nolan Turner started along side stud Tanner Muse. If true that is terrific. Rooting like hell for Clemson to beat Alabama so bad. But without a doubt the feel good story of the day was S Nolan Turner and his key interception. Just a sophomore, I had mentioned a couple of months back that he is the son of HC Dabo Swinney's best pal Kevin Turner who starred at Alabama before settling in on a long solid career as a pass catching FB in the NFL. Kevin died of ALS, a horrible death sentence disease. Heartwarming to see his son starring for his dad's best buddie's team.

And look at that. Clemson has two key white safeties and they hold ND to a season low three points. Hint college programs stop sleepwalking your way through recruiting black defenders only and start looking at white players for a change.

Also of note Clemson WR Hunter Renfrow (4-62 as noted above) and ND LB Drue Tranquill did nothing to detract from their draft status yesterday.

Go Clemson!!!

 

[Leonardfan]

Go Clemson indeed.

Also I hope that Alabama LT Jonah Williams declares - should be a top 10 pick. Hate when ultra talented white prospects decide to go back to school because they have a "team first" mentality.

 

[Red Raider]

Virgina Tech with 4 white defenders on the field at a time, LB’s Dax Hollified and Dylan Rivers, and DL’s Vinny Mihota and Jarrod Hewitt. Also have a good QB in Ryan Willis and a future NFL TE (in my opinion) in Dalton Keene. Mihota has a younger brother who plays on the offensive line.

 

[Bucky]

Good to see VA Tech with some pale faces on Defense Red!! Can't say I've ever seen that many for them in my 10+ years of watching. Also a White QB to top it off, after years of black quarterbacks.

If you look through the roster they actually have a lot of white guys (mostly walk ons I’m assuming) but they definitely have been trending up. They have a white RB Coleman Fox but he’s been injured and mainly relegated to special teams but he’s a senior next year. Their starting punt returner was white, CJ Carroll, but he retired in he middle of the season due to lingering injuries. Carroll got a lot of playing time at slot in 2017.

 

[Red Raider]

And speaking of Dylan Rivers, he just recorded his first career interception! Only a sophomore and Hollifield is a true freshman, bright future for the VT linebacker crew for the next couple years.

 

[Red Raider]

Oklahoma State safety Malcolm Rodriguez injured, didn’t look good he was rolling around the field in pain. He’s a guy I really liked this year as a first year starter

 

[Red Raider]

Mizzou Wall on r-FR WR Barrett Banister getting a lot of action in the bowl game. 3-37 so far.

 

[wile]

Flynn Nagle dinged up on a catch

Their pale RB’s need to transfer....

 

[wile]

My guess is that Thoresen slips to the second round

 

[wile]

Fisher sideline to sideline player forced a fumble but to no avail the O can't deal with the Utes pressure

 

[Rocky B]

I looked at the Utah roster. Over 40 of them are from FL, TX or CA......Not including AZ, Samoa, etc.....
How can people from Utah root for a team that doesn’t represent them at all????

 

[wile]

I hate the %100 shotgun sets and no fullback

 

[TwentyTwo]

WR Dillon Stoner had a 30 yard TD catch. Taylor Cornelius threw for 336 yards & 4 TD's; Drew Lock threw 373 yards & 3 TD's; LB Cale Garrett led Mizzou in Tackles.

Saw Coleman Fox returned a kick off...not sure if he was the up man? Will Virginia Tech Speedster Freshman Tailback Coleton Beck gets opportunity?
Freshman LB Dax Holyfield looks like a future NFLer.

Along w Bryce Love ...Stanford was w/o WR Trent Irwin & Future 1st Rounder TE Kaden Smith.

LB Joe Bachie led Michigan State in Tackles; great story on former Walk-on D-End Kenny Willikes!

Northwestern LB Paddy Fisher & Utah hybrid Safety Chase Hansen ( team-high 114 tackles, has a “minimal chance” of playing due to a hip injury) could be members of a Wrecking Crew!
Too bad Britain Covey is OUT w knee injury.

ex-Nevada WR McLane Mannix recently announced he is Transferring to Texas Tech; WALK-ON (Jr.) Ben Putnam did a nice job replacing him...4 receptions for 114 yards! Awarded Surprise Scholarship during Bowl win celebration!

Lees TD NU trying to make it a game, needing a bit more pass rush

And they get the rush and a fumble returned for a TD

 

[wile]

And another fumble recovery then the play of the day an offensive guard looking guy wearing number 39 lines up outside the tackle runs a pattern catches the pass and tumbled into the end zone NU up and hitting hard.

Lees wildcat QB TD run on excellent blocking scheme
