Think the problem for Merk is that G-Mac is probably already better and has more upside.

Agree with many others on here. Him committing to UVa probably just means either (a) he wasn't willing to potentially be a backup to G-Mac or Faizon or (b) we didn't offer him. I'm not sure he would win the starting job here and there's a decent chance he could've ended up our 3rd string QB.

We've completely revamped the defense in a matter of days! Question now is can we get anyone key on offense? QB is the biggest question mark.

The portal and NIL has changed that. It's so rare to see good young QBs starting now. It was a very 90s / 00s trend because that's often what you had to do to get the best QBs. Now there's so many good readily available older QBs in the portal, it's difficult to be competitive with a 1st or 2nd...

At least the fact that Oregon also wants him is a good sign, but still concerned about the injury and some of the stuff reported out of Arizona State about him.

Even if Heup thinks both G-Mac and Brandon are studs right now, we'll still have to get a portal QB. No way we go the season with 2 scholarship QBs on the roster. But I agree -- don't think G-Mac is ready and Brandon probably isn't starting as a true Freshman. And given how well Heup developed...

He's a good kicker. Just folds under pressure; you can see it in his eyes. Change of scenery might actually do him good. He can become a great kicker if he just gets past the psychological hurdles. I wish him the best of luck!

Not sure why. Is it just because Bishop is back? Lewis would likely be RB2 next season, right? Or have we recruited over him? In this day and age, and especially on this team, you'll get plenty of chances to showcase yourself as RB2 and splitting carries is a good thing.

Honestly don't get all the Pruitt hate. He was a mediocre coach, but he basically was just cheating in the way that Saban and Kirby were and we intentionally "caught him" in order to not pay his buyout. And now all that stuff is legal. He wasn't like a bad guy or anything. Most of his players...

People greatly overestimate the appeal of Bama. It's obviously a Tier 1 CFB program, but so are we. The only 3 Tier 1 programs that are kinda "special" due to massive recruiting advantages: LSU, Georgia, and USC. Maybe Ohio State and Texas to a lesser degree. Aside from that, it really comes...

Being on NBC for years is one of the main reasons for this. Not that I don't hate ESPN, but NBC literally only carries Notre Dame games. NBC is an afterthought when it comes to CFB. Even if they were on FOX or CBS, it probably wouldn't be so bad. You can take any top CFB brand and if you put...

This is the 3rd former Penn State DC we've had since 2014. Just a weird stat. Good hire IMO, though. I said they shouldn't fire Banks unless they had a better replacement ready and Knowles is an upgrade.

It'd be a good hire. Banks was a good, not great DC. Had the #21, #4, and #41 defenses in the country (by defensive efficiency, which is what matters) the past 3 years. Banks wasn't a slouch, but wasn't great at scheming; didn't adapt well. Supposedly not a great recruiter either. For this to...

I predicted this from the get-go. The basketball tournament is 68 freaking teams, and teams #69 and #70 will constantly whine as if it's absolutely vital that an 18-14 team be in the hunt for the national championship. If anything they should scale it back to 6 teams. Scale basketball...

And this is why I hope the fanbase calms down a bit. Vandy loss sucks without a doubt. The defense's performance was horrendous that 2nd half. But it's still just 1 game. This is the best recruiting class we've had in a long time. Heupel has consistently made progress on building the program...
