He just led them on a TD drive and completed a couple of nice throws along the way. Geez, it's his first time playing significant snaps!

Brice coming off the bench performed the same way Bryant has - he was efficient and made timely throws. Seeing Brice lead the comeback has to put a little salt in the wound of the media/announcers/cucks who supported the black quarterback. It was a good win for a suddenly palatable Clemson team.

New RB to watch, Boston College’s Ben Glines plays both WR and RB but it looks like now he is the backup to AJ Dillon. He’s 14-72 right now and he had a nice touchdown catch at WR against Wake Forest a couple weeks ago. He’s 6’2” 220 so he has great size for both positions.

Sweet! Glines finished with 23 carries for 120 Yards and a TD!

Also I never thought I'd live to see NC State playing a white RB, but Brady Bodine had 5 carries for 20 yards in crunch time against Virginia![/QUOTE]

Andy Isabella is 9-173-3 and the 4th quarter just started. He should be a 5th round pick AT THE LEAST next year, he’s an incredibly good and fast player and can run the ball and return too (he was a running back in high school and his freshman year). If he was black I’m sure there would be talk about him in the 2nd-3rd round.

U.Mass WR Andy Isabella huge game so far!

Nice pick up on BC's Ben Glines!

Good to see Nate Cottrell getting a few carries

Isabella is about the closest thing I have seen to Wes Welker since Wes Welker. I have only watched a few UMASS games but he is just really reminiscent of Welker during his Pats heyday.

McLane Mannix 29 yard TD catch....interesting Recruiting story ; turned down Offer from Vanderbilt to play Tailback; prefers playing in the Slot.

As a TTU fan he actually reminds me of Keke Coutee also (similar size, 5’10” 190 and 5’10” 180) with how he’s utilized on jet sweeps and returns. Also how he is able to take short passes to the house and go deep from the slot. They’re those type of slot receivers that are relegated to the slot due to their size but have the athletic ability to burn on the outside.

Thorson looking pretty good - encouraging to see. Michigan isn't catering the offense to Patterson - they need to put some more 3-4 WR sets and let him create/improvise.

Why doesn't UGA let Fromm start throwing the ball more? They are essentially giving him the stereotypical white game manager label.

Isabella has much better long speed than Welker (see his track resume), but he certainly shares the versatility that Wes brought to the table. Isabella is clearly an underrated talent, as evidenced by his receiving only one scholarship offer out of high school despite being the fastest 60-meter sprinter in the nation as a senior.

with 6:00 left in the third quarter, Ball State’s top 3 receivers are all of the overachieving variety: wideouts Riley Miller (9 catches, 164 yards, 1 touchdown) and Corey Lacanaria (5 catches, 55 yards, 1 touchdown) and tight end Kyle Schrank (3 catches, 48 yards, 1 touchdown). “coincidentally, Ball State has already put up 42 points.

this high level of White participation on a single team is rarely seen, but the high level of performance happens frequently enough that it obviously shouldn’t be.

I actually didn’t even know 60 meters was a track event but being the fastest in that event in the nation should obviously translate to a 40 yard dash. I hope Isabella gets invited to the combine (it would be a disgrace if he didn’t, he had over 800 yards as a sophomore and over 1000 as a junior playing a new position as he was a RB in high school and his first year at UMASS). If he gets invited and runs a sub 4.4 40 I’m hoping he can be picked in round 3, he’s a special talent and even reminds me a little of Antonio Brown with how he’s able to do everything from the slot and help in the return game too. That’s some high praise but he really is a talented player, I’m sure he could start at one of the top programs in the nation if he was given the chance. He finished today’s game with a 12-193-3 stat line!

Laughed a little when the announcers said the Michigan RB was considering entering the draft last year. He looks like nothing more than a late rounder/udfa.

the 60-meters is the short sprint of the indoor track season (it’s not too popular at the high school level in the US but is a BIG deal at the collegiate and professional levels). his former track coach has stated that if he’s invited to the Combine, Isabella will be the fastest wide receiver there if not the fastest overall player.
