Too many things going on: green, yellow, white, chrome…confusing hodge-podge of old school and new wave. Meh.

Okay, gotta respect a strong, well-reasoned opinion. Hope it ages well.

I would want to know, for sure, but only after I found out this weekend’s winning lottery numbers.

Thanks for that, Charles. The play designs on the passing downs are incredible; Gabriel had multiple open targets available on most of the plays shown. Now, I need to watch the defensive plays.

Totally agree, Charles, this wait is crazy-making, the worst ever. I can't read another article analyzing, predicting, or whatever-ing about the coming game; everything has been said a hundred times, ad nauseum. Just play the freakin' game and put us out of the misery of waiting!

Recency bias.

Well, howdy Ohio fans. Why is your team named after a toxic tree?

Let me quote the master motivator who doesn't believe in motivation. That would be Dan Lanning. I think he means what he says, and I think this is why this team is successful. Yes, he smashes helmets and invokes Gladiator, but it's really about execution and technique, not getting all fired up; teaching your players all season how to play the game to an impossibly high standard in all ways, not just playing with emotion. I mean, Tennessee was probably really fired up, right? It's like Mike Tyson said, "Everybody has a plan, until...". These are pre-Huskies' game quotes. “It’s always about performance, right?” Lanning asked the media members. “It’s always about what we’re able to do on the field. I’ve said it several times—motivation is overrated.” “Our guys have to want to go out there and execute at a really high level. Since the beginning of the season, we’ve talked about playing our best football at the end of November. Well, we’re there, right? So this is our opportunity to go play our best football against a good team.” “It means a lot to us, certainly. But ultimately, it is another game, right? It’s the next game. You don’t play with emotion—it’s about execution over emotion. These games are going to have emotion; that’s how they’re played. But that’s not what leads to success on the field.”

You gotta understand SEC whining: it just means more.

I love Jon Joseph comments. That is all.

This whole Prime/Lanning "rivalry" is just manufactured click-bait.

Charles, your strategy assumes that there will be, year after year, a top-notch QB in the portal. There aren't many excellent quarterbacks to begin with, and far fewer enter the portal every year. Coach 'em up? Maybe, but I don't think it's a viable plan on a regular basis.

What has Mr. Riley done/not done to have this many top players bail? Demonstrated an inability to win games, treated players poorly, broken promises, melted down...what? This is crazy, and as others have pointed, not something one sees with this level of player and this level of program. It's like when top executives leave a company en masse; something is very wrong at the top.
