I think Harris has stated he is intending to enter the portal but has not officially done so yet. This would align with how Lanning usually works with athletes in the portal in that they are no longer with the team once they enter the portal. See what is happening with Limar. But if Harris is saying he intends on entering the portal but has not done so yet that would be different.

Cristobal's team is more mistake prone and undisciplined. Oregon v Indiana is going to be a lot harder team for both involved than the National Championship. Not saying Miami can't win it but Cristobal does not build disciplined high execution teams. They all have gaping flaws which is why they get exploited a few times a year by lesser teams that shouldn't beat them. Need to get past Indiana tomorrow! Go Ducks!

And get those angry linemen out there to give him the protection so he has the time to take the shots. Yes, he did have time in the last game but the pressure messed up his internal clock.

Portal extension for players in the national title game. Also portal extension for anyone who loses their HC after the portal window closes.

Seems like Whittington is ill... And you know what ... I was saving this for later but as I seem to have a way with it whenever I question Whittington's ability either in the forum or an article he turns around and proves me wrong! So let's do this! Come on Whittington I'm not sure if you're though enough or angry enough to run all over Indiana! That's right... I'm questioning your ability again. Now go prove me wrong!!! Got it covered everyone.

Probably are... But we can break this curse with a wine which I still feel is possible.

Well the supply and demand curves need to be split into two sets... Because for top end talent the demand has NEVER been higher. We are seeing QBs going for 5 mil or something bonkers right now. So the price for the best talent is just going up and is at the highest its ever been. Partly because it's been proven that teams that can acquire the best transfers can potentially be instant CFP candidates... Texas Tech here. Meanwhile... the other side of the talent pool is probably reaching the lowest cost its ever going to be because there is so much supply and the demand for it will be filled mostly by low tier teams that can only afford scholarships at best. Definately a sign of how College Football is diverging into the haves and the feeder schools.

And I'd venture to say most won't find a new home.

Though I think it would be fun to use Beottcher in that way I think keeping him as fresh as possible is going to be key for the defense.

And how much as USC, Washington and UCLA made for the conference combined? My guess... is no where near that number. I don't know the bowl game payouts but it isn't 14 million that's for sure.

It shouldn't be B1G refs the goal of non-conference affliated refs is to take the bias out of the the officiating. However, I would say in this scenario there is still potential bias because these are officiating crews who work in the conference and they probably have their preferences. The reality is that there should be centralized officiating and it should be organized all across the sport in that the NCAA (for lack of another entity) should manage the officiating and training and not the conferences. With that said.... I know every conference grades out their officiating crews to determine which are the best and worse. I'd imagine here that only a crew that had the highest scores get this job appointment for the playoff.

Hill has been asked to pass protection from what I remember watching. If he's not taking a hand off he's running a route. Whittington has done some pass protection but frankly he's awful at it. Harris has done some pass protection and maybe he's still with the team. Limar has done a decent job at pass protection early in the season before he was hurt but the report says he's out and probably due to him entering the portal... Which Harris has done as well so not sure what is going on there. I read on another site that Brayden Platt (inside linebacker) has been taking some reps at runningback. Probably as a linebacker he isn't afraid of contact and can pass block... And he's big so for some basic runs between the tackles he can probably get the job done.... I hope!

Only Davison is a major loss at this point. If Whittington runs like he did against Iowa and Minnesota I don't have as many concerns. But he needs to run mean.

This is the last Covid shirt year I believe... and apparently Indiana has a lot of the few players remaining in their 5th and 6th years. Michigan and Washington both benefited greatly from the Covid shirt in 2023 as they had rosters heavily laden with 5th and 6th years as well.

I like these uniforms.... and if this is the uniform redemption tour so be it!
