Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[Dooby15]

Let’s talk about the muffed punt. I’m still pissed about it.

How? Why?

Who should be back there instead?

True story, just before the punt I told my wife that I hoped we didn’t put anyone back there because the only way they would score on us is with a short field.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Mark Stoops is 55 and just spent 10 years building Kentucky. I doubt he has another huge rebuild in him. If he goes anywhere it will be to a job where he can win right away.

Iowa

 

[Jimmy Football]

Looking forward, Akron just lost 0-52 vs Mich St

Milton should get 3-4 possessions. Tayven a couple too.

Hopefully our D stays consistent and allows 10 or fewer points.

No injuries. We've been really good so far on the injury side. That's huge as the season grind comes.

UF plays an AWFUL USF team. They'll come in 3-1 with some uncertainty/wavering confidence.

Imo just come out and be our usual Q1 selves and we could take their heart away early.

This week: road game against a good opponent. Just get the dub.

Next week: If we don’t look like the greatest team to ever play the game, I’ll be concerned. That Akron squad is slaw.

That 1Q over bailed me out.

We live to see another 1Q

Oh yeah. . . I had a nice parlay that saved the day big time. o6.5 1st qtr, o13.5 1st half + ML. It was a nice + odds parlay.

#15. Congrats players and coaches. Fantastic job

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yep it’s called the Backyard Brawl.
My concern is that WVU , who is always strong at home, lost to one of the worst Power Five teams in the country. And yes I know that KU won at Texas last year.

But did you see the upsets yesterday? College football is an emotional game that is hard to sustain. After an emotional win or loss, it is hard to get to that intensity for the next game.

Iowa

Not if FSU also comes calling.

 

[Orange_Crush]

More than likely “One More Time”

Big chant at Southern (I played soccer and got my undergrad there)

Statesboro is a cool little town.

I think everyone is completely over valuing that job IMO. No way Stoops would entertain that job.

They hired Frost away from UCF. Gus would have a hearty laugh and hang up if they tried to hire him away from UCF in 2022. That program is in the turrlet with nothing going for it.

+Like for turrlet

Also, I think you're right. They're chasing a ghost. They need to build their blueprint off of the last 15-20 years of Wisconsin and Iowa and forget anything pre-2010 Nebraska. They can worry about winning conference and national championships once they get back to where Bo left them.

Good list…you can go ahead and take Pittman and Aranda off the list though.

I always found it strange how there is 1 or 2 upsets every week, but then there is usually a crazy weekend where all kinds of upsets happen. Upset weekend.

And the upset weekends are always the ones that everyone overlooks. How many "the slate is a little weak this week" did we hear

Stoops isn’t leaving Lexington unless it’s a special place. He’s happy there, the fans love him, and their fans are happy going 7-5, 9-3 every season.

Nebraska fans would probably be happy with that after Frost lol

Anyone else make chili today?

I think he's gonna get tired of seeing his best teams get absolutely dragged by the likes of Georgia every year. Playoffs are still a virtual impossibility there.

Everyone has a price

Vols -50

1Q around -13.5 or -14 I suppose. Sign me up.

 

[volfaninpa]

Bill O'Brien makes a lot of sense to me for that job. His coaching rehab time is probably about done at Bama. However, he may want to return to the NFL.

 

[Ace]

Doesn’t lose speed after cuts…could feast.

Sampson is the jewel of this recruiting class

I don't like the -50. . . but o13.5 1st qtr sounds good.

It's on DK at 45.5

Groups in Vegas hammering it, for good reason

 

[VOLSONLY]

It’s all going to basketball. I think under the surface, that was the point of the whole Stoops-Cal spat.

Agree

This list is just naming good coaches. 80% of this list wouldn't leave their current position for what Nebraska is in the current college football landscape.
