Caught in a Mosh
A few things. First we all know but Barkley is on a level equal if not better than LSU Fournette, and given our OLine I would say better. I know the score has us losing by 28, but honestly we had every right to be in this game. Between Gesicki dropping a big play, and a stupid hold (not saying it wasn't at the time, but hindsight being we were held on multiple occasions it ends up being a BS call), and then Hack not getting Barkley in the flat late in the game hurts. Like an article I read state, we are right on the cusp of being a great team. I think once we get Bates, Jenkins, Menet, McGovern we will be rolling. Defense played pretty well. Sucks that Meyer finally became wise and started to use JT and Braxton more. Been saying for weeks they are better than Cardale. Can't wait to see them this week in Baltimore though. Nice 10 minute drive to the stadium
Also, LBU have you heard anything with Lavert, because it seemed as if he didn't decommit this weekend then we should be solid. You think he ends up staying? At this point from what I read seems Quinn is gone.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts as well. OSU gets some calls as usual. That hold I could live with if they didn't turn blind eye on the exact same "hold" by OSU on their first TD and Nassib getting mugged on a key 3rd down on drive that stretched lead in second half for them when it should've been 3rd and 20. This team is very close to being very good, again, I have been pointing to 2016 since last year. This game made me feel much better about the rest of our schedule despite the loss. They are letting Donovan open up the book more, BArkley is a special talent and the line is getting better....I mean, they were facing the best player in college football last night and he was moving all over the places for matchups. I think the heat on Donovan is a product of Franklin being far more like Joe than anything. Keep it simple, win ugly till these young kids are ready for more and he seems to be loosening the reigns a bit now. Lets get these next 3, which we sould, and go into Michigan/MSU 8-2.
As for Lavert, if he's gonna do it, I hope he does it before Hamlin commits anywhere. HEard from decent source that if Hill goes before Hamlin is committed elsewhere he likely ends up here.
The one I can't wait to see on campus is Giliken, christ our punters suck
