2025 College Football Week 7

[KnowTheScore]

Koi Perich pick 6 for Minnesota! Gave them the lead with only a few minutes left in the 4th.

 

[Truthteller]

Northwestern holds on!

WR Griffin Wilde looks like a future pro. South Dakota State transfer was dominant in FCS and carried it over to Big Ten with Northwestern. 6’2 205 and snagged 7 catches for 92 and a TD today against Penn State’s 5 star Affletic secondary.

Bucky, I saw Griffin Wilde play a few games last year at South Dakota State. He was as good/explosive as any freshman wide receiver in the nation, albeit against FCS talent. Was glad to see him transfer up, but wondered why he could not do better than Northwestern? Was hoping he'd follow his QB to Iowa, at the very least!

That said, perhaps Wilde can transfer up again, as Northwestern isn't exactly a place you want to be if want to impress NFL scouts. San Jose State's Danny Scudero, a transfer from Sacramento State, is another sophomore candidate to "transfer up" again.


P.S: If Wisconsin does fire Luke Fickell, I hope they bring back Jim Leonhard, who is currently with the coaching staff of the Denver Broncos.

LSU defeats South Carolina - glad to see the gamecocks fall to 3-3. A team that seems to always get preseason hype but fails to deliver on it.

To the recent ESPiN cuck clown analyst that have LaNorris Sellers going @ 1st QB Selected in the next NFL Draft
15 / 27 ..a whopping 124 yards passing... 22 carries for an electric 19 yards Rushing vs LSU

PLEASE don't water the NFL down any further...then why not call Tim Tebow out of retirement to be at least a back up QB good grief!

Forgot to mention the two turnovers too! The recent ESPN article on the top QBs in the draft has some pretty harsh words for Sellers in terms of what he can improve. The article straight up says that he is still learning how to read a defense...doesn't seem like a future first round pick to me. Article also mentions that he has one of the slowest times to throw in the FBS and is sacked an FBS leading 12.4% of dropbacks.

Nice write up as always TT! Anxious to see what happens with Scudero and Wilde this offseason!

That would be a no brainer. To make that happen, AD Chris McIntosh will probably need to get canned as well. Not sure how likely that is, as Barry Alvarez handpicked McIntosh to replace him.. That would mean Barry would have to take responsibility for 2 bad hires. So slight possibility if they can dump McInotsh and beg JL for forgiveness. Wisconsin is a dumpster fire right now. Barry called fans “spoiled rotten” 2 weeks ago after the loss to Maryland. I think he owes fan base an apology.

 

[KnowTheScore]

I actually tuned into part of the LSU South Carolina game tonight, and ESPN had a graphic showing Sellers's "designed" rushing yards on "designed runs"...convenient way to ignore all of the huge yardage losses he takes in sacks.

Future pro. Ball hawk that is always making plays.

Plyburn and the Weeks brothers totally shutdown SC and Sellers. Another big game that Sellers has totally flopped in. He’s had an awful year, yet every-time I hear discussion about who the first QB off the board next year should be, he’s one of the names mentioned. It’s like the media hive mind put this talking point out there, and no matter how bad he plays, the narrative doesn’t change. That’s how these guys get artificially pushed into the NFL, but I’m preaching to the choir here….

Barry’s pride is getting the best of him. Horrible hire in McIntosh and nut less Fickerel over Legend Jimmy Leonard who had Wisconsin with a top 5 national defense.

I was crushed when they hired the con man from Ohio instead of doing the right and smart thing, offer the job to JL! Going down as an All Time bad hire.

[ximasa]

How come a 37-0 game having zero sack on the sheet, and it's Iowa @Wisconsin! Poor Badgers, watched first half and it was pathetic on every aspects.

Mateer played with injury hand, he didn't help his team but helped to raise Manning's draft stock.

Collin Hurst-Presbyterian- 12/16. 175 yards and 2 TD's
Zac Switzer-Presbyterian- 13 carries 75 yards and 2 TD's. Back up black RB J. Montgomery had a good game as well 10 carries 134 yards, Hopefully Switzer doesn't lose his starting roll just because of Montgomery's performance. Switzer had 6 carries for 150 yards last week.
TE-Nathan Levicki Presbyterian- 2 receptions 82 yards.
PC was ranked 24th in last weeks FCS poll. Should move up a bit this week with the win over Butler.

Meanwhile Allar is being written off despite a proven track record and an actually pretty similar athletic profile to Sellers. Not to mention a better passer, more experience in big games, college playoff experience and and 26-8 win/loss record.

Allar just needs to lay low and get healthy for Draft process. American public has an attention span of a day, soon some of the pressure will be off of him. Assuming Franklin gets trash canned.

TBH though, him going 6th RD wouldn’t surprise me. Look how they treated Ewers and McCord. Even Jason Whitlock was admitting on a recent show, NFL has zero interest in developing White QBs anymore.

 

[Leonardfan]

Some more notable FCS standouts to add the to the excellent work of @TwentyTwo and @Carolina Speed

NDSU QB Cole Payton 13/16 243 yards 1 TD 8 carries 48 yards 2 TDs

Lafayette RB Ethan Weber - 11 carries 139 yards 2 TDs
Gardner-Webb RB Carson Gresock 6 carries 137 yards 2 TDs 1 reception 7 yards
E. Kentucky RB Brady Hensley 8 carries 99 yards 1 TD 1 reception 7 yards
SE Mo St RB Cole Ruble 12 carries 93 yards

Lehigh WR Geoffrey Jamiel - 9 receptions 182 yards 1 TD
Harvard WR Brady Blackburn - 5 receptions 101 yards
Colgate WR Reed Swanson - 7 receptions 113 yards 1 TD
Duquense WR Joey Isabella 2 receptions 63 yards 1 TD

Will Howard as well. Wins a national championship, is a "dual threat", played at a high level in different offensive systems.

Yup Howard is another undervalued QB!

 

[Leonardfan]

A couple of Cole Payton highlights from yesterday. Dynamic player.

 

[White Lightning]

Our receivers are tearing it up with 3 in the top 5. The number 1 receiver in the country is Danny Scudero and he is pulling away from
everyone else. It reminds me of the season Mike Hass had decades ago with Oregon State. Scudero is alot faster and he has great hands!

Thanks LF...I had Hensley listed at 99 Yards ....but not Gresock(seen his name before ; usually small stats) & Weber...those are two names will keep in mind


Not used to waking up so early for work during week w different schedule...run out of fuel late Saturday night scanning thru 80? Box Scores
Got a lil' lazy i guess always going to Lehigh Box Score for RB Luke Yoder & passing right over Geoffrey Jamiel. Shame on me!

For sure ..thanks for the highlights on Cole Peyton prolly my favorite FCS QB . Wish i got to see North Dakota State games more
I post his numbers from time to time ; not always as gaudy ; but often effective!
Here's an article after Week 3

FCS Football: 2026 NFL Draft Stock Watch (Week 3)

Which FCS football stars elevated their NFL Draft stock in Week 3?

www.si.com

Payton displayed high-level poise and arm talent as a passer, showing very good timing, rhythm, and ball placement throughout the game. His deep ball accuracy and timing played a huge role in their win, highlighted by numerous NFL-level throws. He had two noteworthy throws, including a well-placed pass on a corner route and a backside dig that he fit in between three players.

He stood tall under pressure, delivering throws while being hit, and showed functional linear and lateral pocket movement. Payton had a few throws where he got caught staring down his target, but overall, his accuracy on all three levels, anticipation, and confidence in his receivers to make catches were the highlights of his performance. Overall, Payton has been on a tear, and this game was another example of a player raising their stock.

All good brother! You do great work.

Agree on Cole Payton, he needs to get some draft buzz going with him. Will make a point to watch NDSU at least once this year (probably in the playoff). Payton another one year starter at NDSU but has alot of experience over his career mostly as a runner. If he continues his elite QB play there is no reason he should not be viewed in a similar manner to Wentz. And of course Lance was an undeserving 1st round pick that enjoyed all sorts of hype, where is the hype for Payton?!
