the one guy you posted that was a maniac actually had a point- it is a college offense basically---- not surprised people have caught on.

I am not thrilled with the money the Browns owe Watson- but shit- I wouldnt be ver happy about the $ owed to Jalen Hurst either- i cann tell you that.
as long as Watson plays like he did his last few games why not? Considering we have an owner who will spend whatever it takes to rework his deal and any other to free up cap space when needed.

Liberty is giving Oregon a game.

I turn on the TV and see its 38-6 Ducks. Maybe you should wait beyond the first few minutes of the 1st quarter before saying that next time, lol

It was early in the 2nd quarter when I said that.

Liberty led, 6-3, after the 1st quarter.

Well, he is the best goal line RB of all time at least.

Hurts hasn’t been great. The offense has been somewhat disappointing.

But the defense deserves most of the blame here IMO. They were a top 5 unit last season and now they are more like bottom 5.

Hurts is fine. His regression this year stems from the way he’s being coached and the scheme being run. It infuriates me every week to hear the offenses “brain trust” focused on hunting explosive plays. Those things need to come organically. You need to take what the defense gives you and then be ready to pounce when given certain looks. Hurts has been ignoring aspects of the offense that the defense has presented him and it’s seemingly what his staff is encouraging him to do. They have so many fundamental issues. They’re one of the few teams in the league that doesn’t throw into the space vacated by blitzers. They almost always try and go away from blitz with the ball. It’s really hard to evaluate Hurts with what he’s being asked to do.

One reason I find it hard to get into CFB is how LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG it takes. 20 minutes from game time starting and we're 4 minutes of clock in.

For real.

Crazy how much longer college games are than pro games.

Clock stops way too much.

Actually they have taken a lot of steps to keep the clock running. Commercial time ia what has gotten completely out of hand but at this point it’s about ESPN losing the least amount of money possible.

Yeah and I don’t like changing the rules for various points

Plus they don’t even have a 2 minute warning

Early on, Michigan looks like the faster and more physical team. Biggest mismatch in the game is Michigan’s pass rush vs Alabama OL.

Yes, Bama has to open it up and it looks like they are trying on this drive. They can’t win a grind it out game against this team.

Bama down 3 getting dominated. This is what Saban does best, adjustments. That being said, they need to block for Milroe
