2021 College Football Week 9

[Leonardfan]

Aiden Hutchinson getting top 5, top 3 pick in the draft talk on Twitter.

Purdue DE George Karlaftis also getting very high 1st round buzz. With JJ Watt oft-injured and closing in on the end of his career it's good to see two highly two young talented DEs that should take the league by storm.

 

[Leonardfan]

Wow incredible drive by Pickett to tie it up!

 

[northwinds]

Always happy to see Wisconsin win……..but now Iowa will be a two loss ‘irrelevant’ team………..

 

[Leonardfan]

Petrishen picks off Van Dyke in the redzone. Miami's affletic WR fell. Big drive for Pickett

 

[Bucky]

Good to see Horvath back for Purdue. Bad news, Nebraska has a pretty good snow patrol.

 

[Rocky B]

Horvath TD

 

[Leonardfan]

Site has been very slow today

Site has been very slow today

Beyond slow. I couldn't get on it at all until now. Really sad as Will Shipley lit it up for Clemson today. 128 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns!

And another 24 yards on 4 catches…….

 

[white lightning]

Many of our teams won today. The Iowa Game was good and bad. We all like Wisconsin but now Iowa will not be top 10 or in a major bowl game. With the Hawkeyes
being the most white friendly team and top 10 I was hoping for more. It's weird as both their losses were blowouts. Congrats to the Badgers though. We know both
teams will be in a bowl game but hopefully not against each other.

Glad to see Zander Horvath finally play and rush for a td today. I think he had around 24 rushes in limited attempts. Great to see him back but my question is will the
NFL even give him a chance in the 7th round? He is a senior and the injuries seem to hurt our guys the most. Double standard as usual. Hope he can have a few big
games in the next month and maybe somehow get a Senior Bowl Invite. That would be cool to get his name out there more for the NFL Draft.

Hope Byu keeps rolling tonight. Go Cougars.

I must say I am perplexed by Max Borghi’s lack of production this season - I thought for sure he would have had double the amount of yards he has at this point in the season. It doesn’t help he is in a timeshare with the other senior back. Frustrating as I think this will hurt his draft status. For a back that hauled in around 80 passes his sophomore year, the utter lack of usage in the passing game is kind-boggling. At the end of the day, even though I highly respect the coach’s decision to not get the jab, Borghi going to WSU has turned out to be a bad decision overall. He should have been a much more productive college back - similar to CMC.

 

[Warhawk_46]

That being said, sure was exciting to see Will Shipley turn in a great performance today! He will absolutely dominate from here on our over the next couple of years I predict.

 

[Red Raider]

Here’s a new guy. UMASS RB Jared Chisari went
9-45-1 rushing today and also added a 2 yard catch.

 

[Leonardfan]

Michigan - Michigan St was a really good game. I was not expecting the Spartans to mount the comeback. Both the Wolverines and Spartans get to face Ohio State down the stretch too. Michigan State should jump into the Top 4 - remove any other team besides UGA. Walker should win the Heisman rather than a plug and play OSU or Alabama quota.

Nebraska needs to win out just to be bowl eligible. Martinez threw 4 INTs - The Cornhuskers face OSU, Wisconsin and Iowa down the stretch. Will Frost get another year? It seems obvious to everyone but Frost that his QB is the issue.

Miami - Pitt was an entertaining game. Pickett through for 500+ yards. It looks like Tyler Van Dyke should be the QB for Miami over the next 3-4 seasons. He played very well, Miami hasn't had that type of competent QB play in a very long time.

I think Borghi miss a game or two this year. He should still get to around 700 rushing yards on the year. However his touches in the passing game have gone way down without Leach running the offense.

Agreed on Shipley - nice to see him return so quickly from that injury and run all over Free Shoes. Bowden must be rolling over in his grave.

 

[Bucky]

Nice scramble for a TD by Armstrong!

 

[Bucky]

Woman announcer just referred to Armstrong as a "Fiery,Lefty, Ginger."

I'm sorry but is this lady some kind of a bigot?! LOL

LOL. Brennan Armstrong is instant offense though...another Heisman afterthought though. Just goes to show how rigged the Heisman and CFB playoff are.

 

[Warhawk_46]

It is a shame John Rhys-Plumlee has not be converted to running back. He ran for I’ve 1,000 yards as a freshman QB but has seen the field rarely since.

 

[TwentyTwo]

[El Gringo]

Here are Shipley’s highlights from yesterday. He is very powerful for someone of his size!
I didn’t hear the commentators saying anything about his “thick thighs” though!

 

[Red Raider]

I watched the Nebraska vs Purdue game and Jackson Anthrop was actually getting a lot of work at RB. He was rotating with Horvath and King Doerue. He also lined up a lot at slot receiver and out wide a few times, also was one of the kick returners. Nice to see them giving him carries and finally scoring a TD this year but every pass they throw to him is 5 yards or less from the line of scrimmage. Get this guy the ball 10-15 yards down the field and let him make some plays!

How did Horvath look? His ypc was lower than normal.

 

[Leonardfan]

Anthrop finally utilized after 5 years. He certainly could have been a Swiss knife tool for his college career. Hopefully he is able to get into the NFL via the UDFA route

 

[Bucky]

Not much breathing room. He did have a Leonard leap that wasn't really all that necessary.
