NCAA Football, 2014-2015

[Berkut]

This Arizona offense is pretty fucking sick.

Mayweather kicked Maidanas ass.  Again. 

Also there was apparently football today.  UTSA and UT both lost.  Sucks.

[Berkut]

Is there a better freshman QB/RB combo in the nation than Anu Solomon and Nick Wilson? Certainly not through three games (which of course is not the meaningful, but still...)

Anu Solomon (redshirt freshman):
CMP   ATT   YDS   CMP%   YDS/A   TD   INT   RAT
  64   102   934   62.7         9.16     8   1      163.6


Nick Wilson(true freshman):
CAR   YDS   AVG   LONG      TD
66      449   6.8   85 (TD)   4

Being a Longhorn fan is rough these days...but I would sure take it over being a Georgia fan.  It must be rough getting Richt'd square in the nuts every single year.

UTSA and UT both lost.

Much needed off week coming up before a game against Kansas.  Offense looks like it is coming together, maybe they might have the ship righted before Baylor and the Okies.  Hope springs eternal.

I'm seeing Oklahoma favored by only 7 over WVU.  I know WVU has their offense chugging and they'll be at home, but I just don't see it being that close.  I'd put money on Okietards and be happy if I lost.

I've seen some commentary that suggests the opposite:  that WVU matches up very well to OU's strengths, and that most of those seven points are a gift to the cognoscenti from those who just bet based on reputation.

WVU's offense may be able to put up some points, but I just don't see the defense being up to the task.  If it's as competitive as last year's game (though maybe with fewer turnovers) I'll be happy.

WVU will be striping the stadium according to the countless emails & FB posts, so there'll be that.

This a a joke, right? http://www.lostlettermen.com/article/texas-football-longhorns-add-intramural-qb-jimmy-greenwood

With starting quarterback David Ash out indefinitely and an untested Tyrone Swoopes under center — backed up by true freshman Jerrod Heard — the Longhorns have brought on intramural quarterback Jimmy Greenwood, reportedly a sophomore in the fraternity SAE.

I mean, there is no way Texas just had three total QBs on the whole team, walkons included, right?  No former high school QBs playing wide receiver or linebacker or DB?  It has to be a joke that Texas has to draft in the QB of a fraternity football team just to get the minimum QB depth to run a team...  right?

[Ed Anger]

That's awesome.

Right.

Ash is gone, Onyegbule tore his ACL.  They Have Swoopes, Heard, Holtz, and Vinklarek.  Heard is redshirted this year.  Vinklarek and Holtz are walk ons.

E: Oh shit, he has a highlight video: http://www.burntorangenation.com/2014/9/11/6136441/did-ut-reach-out-to-former-high-school-qb-and-regular-college-kid

Okay.  That's much more believable.

[MadBurgerMaker]

They just need more bodies, it looks like. 

But that highlight video has me convinced:  Dude is the next superstar QB out of Texas.

Texas' depth everywhere is pretty much a joke.  Mack Brown's recruiting had been slumping for 8 years or so.

Arizona thanks you for Jones, btw.
