I know there is another thread for general CFB discussion. Given the interest in the potential of the Giants looking at the heir apparent to Eli Manning in the 2018 draft, I wanted to give an update on this weekend's games as well as where you can watch the games.
Sam Darnold - Utah vs USC 8:00pm on ABC
Josh Rosen - UCLA at Arizona 9:00pm - If you get the PAC 12 network, you can watch, otherwise, not seeing it's televised.
If you were interested in Lamar Jackson, Louisville already lost to Boston College today. Louisville is now 4-3 (1-3 in conference). Jackson was a miserable 19-39 passing for 339 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. But he also ran the ball 22 times for 180 yards and 3 scores. He'll be a nice player in the NFL, playing something other than QB.
Josh Allen - Wyoming @ Utah State Aggies about to start at 4:30pm. Not televised.
Clayton Thorson - Northwestern @ Maryland on right now, ESPN2, Thorson off to a bad start.
Luke Falk - Washington State @ Cal - Played last night, Falk got and the Cougs got spanked, Falk threw for 5 INTs. Ouch. 28-43 passing, 286 yards, 0 TDs. Box score also says 12 runs for MINUS 50 YARDS. And that's bcause Cal racked up 9 sacks.
Baker Mayfield - Oklahoma at Texas - on right now, ESPN. 1st quarter wrapping up. Mayfield off to a hot start, 4-5, 101 passing yards and a TD.
Mason Rudolph - Oklahoma St vs Baylor - also on right now, on FS1. Tie game, Rudolph is 2-5 for 52 and a score thus far.
Jarrett Stidham - Auburn at LSU - on CBS right now, Stidham leading the Tigers from Alabama over the Tigers from Louisiana 17-0, Stidham 5-7 for 119 yards and a score. I expect his stock to rise.
WARRIOR!!
I had already planned to check out Rosen tonight on the PAC 12 Network. Didn't realize until now that USC was on ABC. I'll get a chance to see both QBs after the Yankee game.
Don't agree. I think he's a better prospect than DeShaun Watson.
2 fumbles, on returned for a TD, and should've been picked off once. Not good. Its not like Utah has an NFL defense either. That's why I think we have to give Webb a shot. His senior season, which these guys are only partially the way through, was better than they will do (Rosen could possible match it), he's got all the size and skills, and he's shown well with what he has been given so far. All this talk of "franchise QBs" when the kids are still in college are crazy. No one knows if these QB's will be good in the NFL or not. At least with Webb we have a little less risk since the staff has been watching him for a year.

Hahahahaha. Seriously. Look up Watson's college career vs Jackson's so far. It's no comparison. They are eons apart, that's not an exaggeration. Watson refused to let his team lose.

You're outta your tree, bud.

I'm all for giving Webb a shot. I think people are in love with Darnolds size, throws a nice ball, tho not very accurate, and he's played well for the most part at a big program
You're assuming he will play behind this same O-line. He won't.
I'm not seeing it
Out of them all he would be the one that If we're drafting for one, I want
Also, I do think Jackson could be a QB at the next level, but he'd need to be taken as a full project. Not anywhere near the top of the draft like where the Giants will be looking.
I also like Allen, Rosen, Darnold. All very very good prospects.
Not really sold on Mayfields projection.
Falk has looked horrible.
....all the while you are not paying the mortgage and have a leaky roof.
I mean, fix the frigging roof, pay the mortgage, before you start parking all that fancy shit in your front yard.

Rudolph is rising fast.. 6-5 230, who can move and has a nice touch. Makefield is nothing more than a backup.

Considering he had a much better team, not at all surprising.
