That turned into an ugly blowout for Carolina but at least Tanner Muse had an interception and in general Clemson is a team to get behind. Not sure they will make the playoffs though. For now the frontrunners are Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia and Notre Dame.
Another holding pattern week. With the exception of WR Andy Isabella our WR crew have either averaged out or taken a step backwards. Even small school WRs Nunnelly and Horsted have slid the past two weeks.
Nice to see WR Trent Irwin have a nice stat line though--7-100 in a loss against Utah. Irwin is still a fringe NFL draft prospect but a solid second half of the season could provide the necessary bump. He has taken a back seat at Stanford though so it is difficult to see a big upsurge but can't give up hope. He has nice smooth talent. Mel Kiper is high on their TE Kaden Smith (8-120).
I went to bed at half but as most here know Utah has two animals on defense, Chase Hansen and Cody Barton. They fly all over the field and wreck havoc. And WR Covey has tremendous quickness as noted before.
The week as usual wasn't overly inspiring but basically all black undefeated teams got knocked off including LSU and KY. But best of all was Oklahoma going down along with Oklahoma State. These two programs hate the idea of having white defenders so it was great to see their so called "big time D athletes" get steamrolled. I like the Iowa State HC and was happy to see them beat Oklahoma State. Great start for new QB Purdy.
Leo mentioned Sam Ehlinger and other QBs below. Kind of reminds me of a poor man's Baker Mayfield with better running ability. Very feisty and getting better. But like someone mentioned above both Texas and Oklahoma are black caste ridden teams.
Like Leo I believe MISS ST QB Fitzgerald will likely not become an NFL starter. In fact like Taysom Hill someone should take a flier on him as a back up QB and utility RB.
On the other hand Michigan's QB Patterson has true NFL talent and like Northwestern's Thorson is getting rid of the rust after an ACL injury. I still believe Michigan State QB Lewerke has NFL talent too.
Mel Kiper on his Saturday radio show thinks DE Chase Winovich reminds him of Clay Matthews and thinks he has first round talent. I agree.
I noticed some horrible calls on white skill players Saturday. As mentioned above BC RB Glimes was in a rugby pile and that is never called a fumble ( unless it is a white RB). And PR WR Thayer Thomas of NC State fumbled a punt because the defender didn't give him an ounce of breathing space. Even the dumbass announcers didn't bring it up. And the trend for flags flying on big white gains continues. These stinking refs.
Ohio State LBs Tuf Borland and Pete Werner just keep getting better every week. Werner was covering WRs at times to give you an idea of his outstanding range.
Also pleased that Air Force knocked the stuff out of Navy and their hyped up running QB.
Is Western Michigan LB Alex Grace on NFL draft boards? Isn't he a former speedster RB? He has a lot of tackles this season.
Leave on a couple of positive notes that have been mentioned above. Max Borghi is a lot like CM and he has the kind of versatility that hopefully NFL teams start taking notice. He had his best game yet.
Finally leave it to ole reliable Iowa to make us feel good. Yes Riley Moss started at CB and had two interceptions. Moss is a fantastic athlete who can run. Is he our great white hope? So far so good.
