Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

[flyershockey]

I cannot believe Georgia is getting beat like this. I haven’t really watched much of them outside of the Kentucky which wasn’t a display for offense on either side. But PFF did mention this week on their pregame show that their run defense has been vulnerable & it looks like Alabama is taking advantage of that.

Kirby is so worried about keeping Milroe in the pocket that they're just losing all outside leverage. Just getting completely outclassed and outcoached at this point. This is the worst tackling team Kirby has had as well.

If you think to the back to back teams, I kept saying that what separated Saban from every other coach to ever do it was the ability to roll it over. It’s not just players. It’s coaches from the coordinators to the positional coaches and QA guys. Saban was ultimately a coaching factory.

Kirby is the only modern guy I have ever seen to get his defenses to play as physical as Saban’s. But Kirby hired his friends once the generational crop left. I’ve long accepted it. The best thing DeBoer can do is talk those things through with him.

Nobody bats a 1.000 but I feel like when Saban did make a bad hire he never let it linger for years either. They won a boatload of games even on the their lower end seasons so it could be easy to rest on your laurels given those circumstances.

Yep. Major Applewhite didn’t even get a second year. And that was during Saban’s ball control era.

@flyershockey I think my Georgia would have beaten Michigan and Texas but lost to Washington last year take has aged well. DeBoer is confusing the hell out of them with Motion.

I don’t want to hear one word about Carson Beck being even a Day 2 pick. I’d rather have Jetson. At least he can maybe chaos his way to 2-2.

Chinatown scouting services didn't even have him as a top 10 QB,. His face is too ugly.

How the hell do Penn St and Illinois have 14 Points at Halftime with 3 total Punts and no TOs?

Saban's nemesis. Kickers

Of course Kirby just has to protect his buddy with his 30 second half time question about the offense. Bobo is trash. He's got no answer for pressure packages, and equally as bad, he's got no answer for the underneath zone. He's constantly zigging when he should be zagging.

Unless Kirby overhauls his staff and spends on some WR talent, he's going to fade into a top ten, but not elite program status

This is the worst major college offensive game plan I can remember. I genuinely think this is worse than anything Les Miles' LSU teams did to themselves.

They paid Etienne all that money and he's got what, 8 touches? He's clearly the best offensive player and they're running him out there like a gadget player.

Brutal missed DPI, I see Kalen is going to get the same benefit of the doubt calls.

Down dozens, 12 plays in 6 Minutes and they’re still on their side of the field. They really made us go from watching Monken to this.

@Chinatown88 Sheesh.

Literally was about to post and then I get Jojo'd.

Jerry's taking him round 1.

Honestly, the offense is not wildly different from under Monken. It's just Bobo has zero play calling intuition and Monken is/was a savant. That and Beck is somehow less of a feel QB than Stetson.

Honestly, the offense is not wildly different from under Steichen. It’s just Johnson has zero play calling intuition and Steichen is/was a savant. That and Hurts is somehow less of a feel QB than Hurts.

And now I need a drink.

AJ Harris with a huge INT.

Jesus. Don't hurt me like that.

It's also concerning that Kirby seems to adjust well at halftime, but fails to make changes live. It tells you the top guys are good at identifying issues, but the support staff struggles implementing. More staff erosion problems.

@JojoTheWhale

For no specific reason, totally not related to the talking about Georgia QB’s, don’t you think State Farm needs to sign Nabers to be a spokesperson? "Like a good Nabers, State Farm is there."

Some things just write themselves…

Ugly game, felt like Penn State left a lot of points on the board tonight. Illinois took away their home run balls in the passing game. Penn State pretty much did what they wanted running the ball which is encouraging for their OL going against a solid defense.

He ran through the defender for the first down to boot.

That’s what you get for punting.
