Lots of Beat downs going on right now. UGA getting whooped by Ole' Miss, Wisconsin handling MSU, VT continuing to dominate against ECU, and FSU is demoliting SFU.

it. Ryan Ramczyk (#65) of Wisconsin is doing EXCELLENT, and has pushed Malik McDowell off the ball a few times.



And WR Courtland Sutton of SMU is the truth. He's a redshirt Sophomore, but has AMAZING physical gifts. If he declares, I think he's gonna go top 20. I can't see how he drops. He's just way too talented. Here's hoping he falls to us at 32 though!

If their offense is more consistent they are very dangerous. Very tough schedule coming up but it's possible.

Sometimes that is true. Most of the time ND is better than the haters say. Just an excuse to bitch. The crap about conference games being tougher is nonsense. There are usually more than half the teams in any conference that are patsies. This year ND is overrated and sinking fast. Tenn has been lost since Fulmer left.

Guys,  
Jon in NYC : 9/24/2016 8:59 pm : link
I really don't know what to say. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. I can tell you the way I thought this season would play out.

Lose to LSU, Lose to MSU, UM, OSU, probably beat Iowa and Nebraska, but lose to Northwestern on some bullshit, go to a mediocre bowl, but that would have been okay because we're the 5th youngest team in FBS with a new DC and only the 2nd year under Chryst.

But holy fucking shit.

This defense is the truth. The best LB corps in football right now, a DL that's tough to run against, and a DB unit that has proven to be more than competent despite losing 3/4 guys last year. Either A. It wasn't all Aranda as we thought it was, or B. Wilcox is just as good. Either way I'll absolutely take it.

On offense, the best is still yet to come. We're starting 4 sophomores on OL (the 5th is Ramczyk, who as Anak mentioned, will be a Day 1 or 2 guy in the draft)., a RS frosh at QB, and our RB corps is a walking infirmary unit. But they (with the help of some great field position) just dropped 30 on a very tough MSU defense.

I think we're due for a letdown, so I could see them dropping the next two games, but that's okay. We've not only positioned ourselves very well this year, but the future is very very bright, and I couldn't be more excited.

On Wisconsin.

I hope Wisconsin wins and wins big (unlikely). Wisconsin has a good team this year.

Louisville vs Clemson will be great to watch.

Maybe Richt can help Miami finally beat FSU as well (again unlikely).

Notre Dame might be a big draw to the older crowd but I could see in the next ten years where they are no longer the cowboys of college football. Kids growing up today or in college recently are Ohio State fans, Alabama fans, etc... The Notre Dame bandwagon won't be refilled since they haven't been a dominant team in a while.

Patrenio sure knows how to coach QBs. Kid is smart to go there and learn the game from him.

He is amazing. Pretty much as electrifying as anyone I've ever watched in college football, all that he needs to stamp a statement like that is more time doing what he's doing. I don't know about him in the NFL because he is built a lot more like a receiver than a QB (I remember having similar concerns about rg3), but he is incredible at this level
