Now UNLV's RB is planning to do the same. He said it has nothing to do with NIL money....sure Jan

 

[trostol]

well there goes UNLV's great start

He’s currently their third leading rusher at RB statistically. So he might be telling the truth there.

Man. This guy. I’m all for players getting what they can while they can, but 4 high schools, multiple recruiting flips, and now two transfers out of big time programs is quite a bit.

Leaving Georgia at least made some sense because he was never going to be the run defender Kirby wants, but the laziness rumors were everywhere in Athens. I hope he can get it together. He’s a meaningful talent.

Some noteworthy school will probably take him. Hell the NFL probably will too. It probably will be like Malik McDowell with chance after chance despite all the red flags.

He was going to jump into the portal right before the start of the season but relented when SC agreed to upgrade his apartment situation. There comes a point where talent doesn't trump being a distraction.

Speaking of UNLV football

https://x.com/i/web/status/1839152596927254787

I gotta guess that's like a staying bonus either upfront or spread out and not a per-year payment.

PAC-12 now talking to Texas State. Which I thought was a made-up team for Necessary Roughness, but apparently they exist.

I’m not so sure that UNLV’s decision to stay is a smart one. With all of the recent transportation upgrades between the city and the coast, LV is becoming a distant suburb of the LA region. Even Bishop Gorman H.S. schedules games with LA regional schools. I’m sure that UNLV would like to tap in further with getting LA and SD area high schoolers to enroll there.

@JojoTheWhale seems like USC’s staff just didn’t trust Alexander against the run. So he played a good bit against LSU which is a heavier pass team & didn’t play as much against Michigan. Seems like he didn’t like that.

Army plays Temple in football tonight. It will be their 3rd game against a team with an Owl mascot in Sept.

Never know with Cristobal but Miami looks like a wagon.

I was not a Cam Ward guy. Holy shit was I wrong.

I'm generally in favor of players getting their bag at all levels if it is there, but this is too much. I'm far too old-school, loyalty-over-mercenary minded not to become curmudgeony over this.

At what point, if these kids have pro aspirations, does this kind of thing drive their draft stock down?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Don't be hasty. VT has spent the last decade making every QB look better than they are and that hasn't changed under Pry.

I was checking out ESPN's FPI and they have Kent State as the worst team in the country...by a full touchdown lol.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

What a game.

We could easily have 9-0 Miami + Rutgers here soon.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Incomplete pass that didn’t touch the ground?

 

[Superman33]

Incomplete pass that didn’t touch the ground?

I'm pretty much only into college football for chaos upsets, so I was wanting Miami to fall, but the explanation of why it was incomplete makes sense. As the ball was bouncing around on top of the pile while no one had possession of the ball the Miami defender was touching the ball while he was out of bounds, which ends the play.

The ACC was openly protecting two playoff bids last night.

Gus gives zero f***s when it comes to wardrobe.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Dart throws a great deep pass rolling out on 4th & 10 for the game and on the very next play takes an avoidable Sack to take them out of FG range down 3 under 2 Minutes.

*Edit* And Fumbles on a free play. The ball launched out of his arms like it was in a t shirt cannon. This is painful to watch.

AND THEY MISSED THE FG to tie it. What a drive.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I feel that loss encapsulates why Kiffin shouldn’t take a bigger job. You lose that type of game in Florida for example, you’re gonna get a ton of heat on you more so than at Ole Miss.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

USC doesn’t look too great. They’re getting whipped in the trenches by Wisconsin so far.
