Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted September 22 So, Washington is up 17-2 at half, and Beavis is 0-0, (naturally) and Florida State leads Cal 7-6 at the half. Good stuff! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff! Stanford won last night against Syracuse. I still find myself backing the old-pac. But of course minus USC and Washington. I wouldn't mind if those two went 0-12 every year. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherOD No. 15 Share Posted September 22 (edited) "Tennessee is taking it to OU in Norman" Some interesting thoughts from fans about Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold. OU reportedly encourage DG to find a new home, at least in part, to five star Arnold's not willing to sit a second year (and keep happy): "Alright guys time to quit messing around and put in our Heisman caliber QBs" "Jackson Arnold is the worst qb I’ve ever seen touch a football and I just watched Payton Thorne and Hank Brown play" "Bench Arnold" "Who's the next QB on the depth chart? Arnold ain't it" "Arnold shouldn’t see the field until next week." "Saying JA is in way over his head is like saying 9/11 was a tragedy" "I think when Arnold gets over to the OU bench, all the OU players and coaches should come over, circle around him and just spit on him like a medieval witch ceremony" "Arnold better not start the second half" "That may have been it for JA" "We 100% lose with Arnold. We need to see Hawkins to have a chance." "Seriously who ever is keeping Arnold in the game needs to sit down off of the headset for a bit." Young QB, early in his career most likely eventually figures it out; but, sounds a bit like they are missing DG tonight. Just checked back at the start of the second half, and indeed the backup QB is in the game. Edited September 22 by AnotherOD 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about today's game, but I sure have been thinking OU made a serious mistake forcing DG out. Goes to show the NIL/ Portal issue is very serious for budding playoff prospects. Too many kids are a legend in their own head. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaNoBargain No. 21 Share Posted September 22 (edited) Beavis should have enough horses to get to at least 7 wins, I can’t see them losing more than 4 more games with that schedule. Barring significant injuries I’d guess 8-4. Lot of games coming up just short of the upsets I was wanting this weekend, pretty much a meh day for outcomes, for me at least Edited September 22 by JabbaNoBargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSU flopped picking Howard, but pulled the rabbit out of the hat bringing in Kelly to scheme him into something that can make the offense work.

He has more ability than Howard. But he hasn't shown the performance skills Howard demonstrated at KSU. I'm not much of a fan of Freshman or Sophomore QBs starting for P4 teams. You literally have to show me you are as good as a Heisman caliber QB those first two years - and I'm talking about performance, not ability. Now if you perform better than the guy ahead of you ( Arnold didn't and still hasn't), THEN YOU CAN START FOR ME. USC is playoff caliber with a guy that waited four years to start. Tennessee and Texas have Juniors that are top shelf performers that sat behind top shelf performers. I'll let you leave if you feel you're great. Most especially if I have a DG or Will Howard as my QB. If you aren't leading TD drives in practices and scrimmages every day, and I mean multiple TD drives, you are riding pine on my team. Potential would not get me either fired, or sitting at home on conference championship day. I can't go for that ( no, no ...no can do). I get what you're saying. But Oklahoma and KSU went all in, and busted. They're both out of the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely something to be sad about patience for a QB. Of course, the Portal usually works against it in college, when a QB will jump if he isn't starting. Hurrah for Dante Moore, who probably would be starting for UCLA this Saturday, but instead, is thinking of the future ahead of him starting next season at Oregon.
