Targeting needs to be gotten rid of. It's never called correctly and it lengthens the game to an unbearable length of time

NCAA really needs to get their **** together with this targeting crap. Is it not to prevent head injuries? wtf the guy just came out of the game after being hit helmet to helmet while "defenseless". So inconsistent.

I'm not. The Wonderlic thing was obviously a joke because RB's normally don't take them in the first place, but my point remains that the #1 thing that may hold him back in the draft is football IQ. He didn't play much here last year because they couldn't get him to understand blitz pick ups and offensive schemes. And we all remember the blunder against Vanderbilt when he ran out of bounds on 4th and 2 or whatever it was.

He reminds me of CP. Electric talent, but Minnesota is afraid to put him on the field because there's always a blown assignment or a mistake that's made. Hopefully it's not the case for the Local Trap Star.

I had geology lab with CP (well, to be fair, he quit coming to class after 2-3 games when everybody could see he would go pro) and I wouldn't compare Kamara to him in the brains department.

CP and Kamara both have really bright personalities that can make them come off similarly I guess. But just from the interviews I've seen with Kamara, it's obvious he's got a lot more going for him in the brains department than CP did. Both have a flashy style, but having a grill and wearing flashy colors doesn't mean Kamara isn't unintelligent.


Really don't mean to talk down on CP either, because he was seemed like a really nice dude. Introduced himself to everybody in the lab on the first day, shook our hands, said we'd be seeing him on Sunday's. Really struggled with the work though, even with Worley along in the class to help him. Heard him complaining that he had more academic support in JUCO than at UT once. Not sure if that was a Dooley thing or he was just frustrated.

The GA player that is faking his injury was fine after the play was over. He just laid down to get a free timeout afterwards

What I mean is, the Wonderlic doesn't mean much for a RB. The only time you hear about it is when a QB nails it or fails it miserably.

Do all players take them now? I had a buddy going through the process as a WR and he said he never had to take it.

I know either one of the LSU DBs coming out a few years back (Peterson or Claiborne...can't remember) got like a 4 and was lampooned by the media before it came out that he had a learning disability (I think it was dyslexia) and he phoned it in after a couple questions.

So our best defense was ranked outside the top40 after playing App St, VT, and Ohio? Tell me more about how awesome this defense would've been without injuries.

We gave up a million yards to Mizz, UK, and Vandy. We let Kyle Shurmur throw for 416 yards in one game. Do you know his next best game? 279 yards against Western Kentucky and it was an OT game. You can blame it all on injuries but there is no way we had the worst defensive talent (after injuries) our






opponents faced yet we had the worst defense most of our opponents faced.

Three equals five in your new math. Includes Florida and Georgia as well.

Based on this logic shouldn't we've started games quicker and tailed off as the game continued?

I saw the opposite this entire season.

What I mean by that is I think he does a good job of planning a general course for attack against defenses. He does a good job setting up defenses for wrinkles they're not expecting.


I think he got stronger in the second half this year because the team had to play from behind in a lot of second halves or work like hell to put up a lot of points to cover for the defense.

Also, Dobbs running for his life helped make up for some poor play calls, IMO.

One area where Butch has recruited well is O Line. The depth is outstanding and we are now able to redshirt guys which is ideal. Of course, guys like Trey can be the exceptional but redshirts are great.

Been saying how important this will be for years. Very happy to see it.
