I’m not the one with the forestry PHD. I’ll ask.

NGV googled it , they aren’t related . Buckeyes and horse chestnuts are actually not chestnuts and both are toxic .

 

[McDad]

There defense is on another level , watching today I’m just assuming that it’s mainly because their talent doesn’t drop off much in their rotation, they are deep and talented .

They are impressive. Fundamentally sounds. Few mistakes. Almost always in the right position too.

My sister, after being very confused, said l,
“That's an extremely general question. Are you talking about your yard or what? They dont like wet soils so better on hillsides well drained sites. Best in sandier soils. Open sun, not shaded, at least 4 hours sun a day.”

I had just sent her a very negative post about Ut football.

“Probably best site would be a NW or SE facing slope, well drained, at least 10 percent slope. Sandier soils. Lots of sun. Keep the weeds off them.”

Yeah that’s why I’m starting to dislike them more than Florida . That’s and I think Kirby smart is a dik .

They would probably grow well here in Norfolk

We compete for more recruits with them.

Smart and Pruitt are besties...maybe they're both dix?

 

[ETV]

We are. Look at the last 3 years against UGA. We are improved. They are simply better than us. They dominated our O line. Their o line controlled our D line.
Our defense played very well until they were gassed.

This team needs a leader on offense.

I can see that , but one is my coach though and one is ..just a dik

I wouldn’t count on it. There is a reason they’re essentially extinct.

I am dis by our Oline more than anything. Expected better

I think we have a leader. Trey Smith. JG is what he is...a game manager at best. He will not develop a 6th sense about his pocket, he won't throw it away enough, and he loses his fundamentals. He will not be the guy who puts a team on his back. He is not a hero.

This game looked just like last year IMO. Tight half and then D gassed cause no O, then blowout.

I think our 1st half looked much better than 2017, 18, and 19.

We need a field general. QBs like Manning are once in a generation type player, I'm not expecting that. At this point, I'll take a serviceable QB that can manage the game and get the ball to the playmakers.

Now, since 2020 doesn't count against the players eligibility years, imagine if JG came back for a 6th year and Pruitt were to continue with him as the starter.

I may have to be committed.

I agree we are better on D. Not so much on O. IIRC Maurer hit some deep throws last year to keep it tight in first half and then D folded. Just seemed deja vu even though I know we are better.

Lol.
A lot can happen between now and then. The QB you want may or may not be on the roster. The OC is not known as a scheme innovator.

I’m guessing he’ll still have eligibility left.

I just rolled a grenade in the "At this point I question Pruitt" thread in the FF. I said that Schiano would have this team playing at a high level by now. Sitting back waiting for the fireworks.

 

[1972 Grad]

Interesting question posed in the FF thread.

When was the last time we played a game and didn't have the worse QB? How many years? So tired of it. 2 years ago, or 3...

I have never seen us play against a bad one for the whole game. We faced a bad one in the first part of the Missouri game, and I remember a bad one at Marshall years ago. They were both pulled in the 1st half. Other coaches change qb's.

I'm about to follow it up with "we should have hired Kiffin again"

 

[NorthDallas40]

For the hat trick add “look at the success Dooley is having with Mizzou’s offense he could probably bring that here too”

Whoops nm forgot he went to the Giants.

Well... watching the current game on TV right now...
