Oregon vs Washington tonight. Oregon is the better team right now. Washington clipped them earlier. Should be a fun matchup with Penix and Nix slinging it. Lot of good WRs as well.
Here’s a hypothetical scenario. You’re winners this weekend:
Washington
Michigan
FSU
Bama
Texas
If this is this case - No SEC in the final 4? Hmmmm
I still don't know why teams just don't sit on it. But for some reason they don't...
I always thought that was Eli's best throw. Accuracy and power outside the numbers is a great thing to have.
I like him more than the Penn State kid tbh
pennix just got more juice.
He just made a nice play on that punt return... ;)

I haven't seen anyone in this class that throws like Penix.

Dane Brugler thinks Nix is a day 2 pick and earliest he would take Penix is the third rd. Told this in his mock draft discussion on BBV.
Was hoping we could get him with our first pick in second round.

#55 for Washington, left tackle. Sy has been talking him up on Twitter. Looks like he could be a great guard.

Don't get me started on Fashanu. I'm a PSU fan and I think he's the most overrated projected lottery player in the draft...
10-0, U.W. up. This is the best they've looked in 2 months. I'm very surprised, I really though Oregon woulld score at will, and run up the score against an anemic U.W. defense.

I just can't get past his lack of mobility, especially considering how the Giants can't figure out the OL. I think he'd be too perfect for a team like Dallas.
Did it on the first drive, too.

Totally punched Oregon in the mouth. Big drive here.

+1. 2 really powerful drives by UW.

Same. I think his footwork gets out of whack too many times, too.
Although I would feel great with Neal protecting his blind side... ;)
+1. Totally correct.
UDub is really spreading this out with this 3x2 and motion.

They have to because the system is so poorly designed. Men's basketball has 64 teams, so they eye test is only relevant to borderline teams. And even the last four there have to win a game to get in.
What some are backing here is just dismissing an entire year's worth of games and saying a team is one player, and if that player is out that team is out.
Yes, I am saying just that because FSU in particular are not going to be as competitive without Travis. He was the straw that stirred that drink.
IMV, his loss has made it virtually impossible for FSU to win the playoffs now.
There is no doubt Travis is an excellent QB for FSU. There is also no doubt Norvell sat on the offense last week with Rodemaker. Yet, despite what I would call a awful job calling the game in the 1st half by Norvell, FSU beat the spread in a very inspired Swamp at UF.
One of the two backup QBs is likely the starter next year. Who knows how well they do this week after getting starter snaps in practice the last two weeks.
I have no illusions that Louisville is a push over - they smacked the crap out of ND and I see the spread has come down from FSU by 3 to now FSU by 1.5.
I can see the committee bypassing FSU for another team if they struggle with Louisville but still win. It probably is not the correct decision to jump a 12-0 team with one that is 11-1. If Georgia gets beat by Alabama, do they take both Alabama and Georgia and dump FSU? Do they include Georgia, dump FSU and Alabama and bring in Oregon and Texas?
I doubt Alabama beats Georgia. We know Iowa isn't beating Michigan(99.9%).
If Washington beats Oregon and FSU beats Louisville, that should be the final four. It does not matter who plays Georgia, they'll get beat. Not even sure Michigan beats Georgia.
But I can see FSU getting bypassed and it likely does not sit well.
They actually played pretty well v Oregon State and Wazu.
The offense was flat...IMV.
Start watching that video of that WR/#11 down in Baton Rouge, Sy... ;)
Jones is mobile, and he's garbage. That 3rd and 16 throw before was against a blitz where the ball has to come out quickly.
I'm not worried about Penix's mobility. Build around his (or anyone else's) strengths.
I do

This is a hard matchup for FSU without a QB. Louisville stats show they are the best run defense in the ACC, and by a decent margin. If FSU just run this will be an ugly game overall
+1. I was just thinking the same thing, that this game could really get away from Oregon. right now.
Just checked out Sy's twitter and he feels he could be WR2 which is incredibly high praise given the class.
Completely agree... this is a very deep QB and WR class. Probably why this is one of the best if not the best passing we have ever seen in the NCAA
2 nice 3rd down plays by the UW defense. someone needs to drug test these guys.
Penix hasn’t looked great either. It’s a 3 QB draft for me.

Makes a belated return. Back on it's heels, can't tackle, about to let Oregon get back in the game.

Franklin should have caught that first one.
No. No it doesn’t.
That last one was behind the WR, too, on that slant.
Nix has NEVER had great arm.

Thank you, Sir! I stand corrected.

You mean the same D he shredded for 33 points previously (and should have been 36 if not for the missed FG)?

Someone’s drinking early tonight. I advise you to stay away from this thread because your boy doesn’t look good and others are starting to see it.
And nix sucked in the first half against UW by missing easy throws and TDs. You want to start this shit now or you gonna watch your team hopefully win?
Your choice.

To where nix is throwing it
No. No it doesn’t.
Yes it does. There’s a stark difference between Nix and Penix’ arm strength
