Trace McSorely there by default

 

[Boise4Life]

McSorley first team and Tua second. I like it. That’s exactly how I’d do it too. You obviously never know until the games are played but that’s how I believe it’s going to turn out. And if it’s true and that’s how it ends up being then Alabama’s opponents are fucked.

Has a kid that played one half of football (granted, it’s the biggest game of the year) ever received this much preseason hype before? He looks like a good one, but I still need to see him in more games.

Which Group of 5 Team Will Get the New Year's Six Bowl Invite in 2018?

How much hype did Cardale Jones get for 3 games?

Also look at how much hype some Ohio State fans are giving Haskins after one half agaisnst an over hyped Michigan team.

I expect to see accurate throws down the field. The kid is gonna be downright exciting to watch. Then comes the downhill, smack you in the face running game. Gulp.

 

[tducey]

Thanks for sharing. A lot of hype surrounding this Tua kid from Alabama. As an Alabama fan I hope he lives up to the hype.

 

[romeo212000]

The lack of Rodney Anderson is a big miss.

We got a shot, but I’d for sure lean towards it not happening. The QB is over rated and has truthfully pretty much disappointed. He’ll be the reason we likely won’t get it done. Plus the only two targets he threw to last season are gone, the rest are completely unproven. Definitely a shame because we are loaded everywhere else. It’ll probably spoil what could have been a special season.

 

[8085sooner]

Clemson dline and Wisconsin Oline are going to be great. Taylor will get a lot of yards behind that Oline.

Way to much love for Tua. The WVU QB Grier, WR Sills combo, will get a lot of 1st team AA votes, come end of the year.

That was 3 straight games against quality competition. I understand that one more.

Gracious was the guy ever on fire during that run. He looked invincible if only for a short period of time. But damn what a time to do it, when it all matters the very most. He was out of his mind outstanding.

Why he didn’t go into the NFL after that I will never understand.

I agree man. It’s easy to say that now, but even back then I thought the exact same thing.

I mean you had Braxton Miller coming back from injury and J.T. Barrett as well. It was a fierce competition for a starting job and he cost himself millions by coming back for no good reason.

True, but he was surrounded with teammates that were super talented and playing at their talent level. Me thinks there are several that could have done similar. JMO.

Having a bull dozer at RB makes a lot of people look good.

Even Hornibrook?

Even Hornibrook?

Hornibrook looks serviceable with JTT and that OL. Give him 2014/15 Elliott and you win the conference championship game running away.
