Hope it's a good game
It just doesn't seem right for Penn State to already be in a game this big since their sanctions. It didn't hurt their program at all.
It shows how down right shitty the big10 is.
The media has been pimping the USC QB Darnold. I'm curious to see if he's worth a crap or just another media creation
Probably both. No doubt Franklin is a hell of a coach, but the Big 10 is fairly easy to elevate in. Especially for a team like Penn State that is the flagship school of a heavily populated state & has about 700 K living alumni
If you really think about the advantages & disadvantages of a job, Penn State isn't that much different than Ohio State in terms of resources. Both have great traditions, both in the Big 10, both are the flagship school in a states that are just about the same size population wise, and both are in cold weather states. About the only real advantages Ohio State has over Penn State is the location of the school within the state & Urban Meyer
Dang it guys, I thought this was going to be UM NCAA news
He's already solid.
I just don't see him as a high ceiling guy because I don't love the athleticism or arm action. He's solid.
Just because he's a redshirt freshman doesn't mean he will physically improve very much. Players are like a finger print. They don't change. They just get stronger & a little smarter.
He refined himself, but he didn't become a completely different player.
As a freshman you saw the ability. All the tools were already there. He just refined things & became more consistent.
Dak's ceiling never changed. He just reached it.
For a guy like Darnold, he's a very solid QB, but he's basically already close to his ceiling.
Rose Bowl Game is like watching a 7 on 7 scrimmage. No defense but hey only a few in the country play defense.
I wish the NCAA would change some rules on defense, now days you can't touch QB or the receivers.
In today's games offense is the way to go, just outscore your opponent and be solid in the kicking games.
I suppose one day football will be a gloried flag football game.
Dak just mentioned at the Rose Bowl by sideline reporter as how USC coaches compares their Freshman QB poise
I wish we had a rb that could break a 70 yarder
Boy I almost wished they hadn't brought Keith Jackson in the booth. I loved his calls over the years but that was a little uncomfortable. But understand wanting to give someone of his stature some air time.
I have a feeling about half of the Sugar Bowl will be shown on ESPN News. Still 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, and a half hour away from SB start time.
USC scores a touchdown, then did you see how their QB intentionally slipped so he could get the 2 point conversion? Very crafty of him .... **
Terrible call for unnecessary roughness. I'm not sure he even touched the guy.
