I don’t know if anyone is watching or around but some interesting games and good prospects are playing today.

Nebraska v. Iowa - Tyler Linderbaum the future Jets all-pro center is up, so is dynamic playmaker Ihmir Smith-Marsette

Texas v Iowa State - Joseph Ossai future Jets EDGE stud leads his defense against future Jets head coach Matt Campbell

Also Notre Dame and UNC have good players.

 

[kdels62]

Hmmm a pancake for Linderbaum on that TD pass.

[Beerfish]

I never quite know what to make of Texas.

[Beerfish]

If the Jets don't get a guy like pitts, I really like charlie kolar from iowa state as a TE prospect.

Every game of Iowa State I have seen he shows up in the game.

I don’t know either and it’s been that way for years.

[Beerfish]

The NY Jets next head coach just won a huge game over Texas.

[Defense Wins Championships]

I'll be watching and rooting for Notre Dame over UNC.

I want to see an ACC Championship Game with a rematch of Clemson vs. Notre Dame;

but this time with Trevor Lawrence playing. 

[Beerfish]

Ian Book does not look like a QB, he looks like he should be in a gangster movie with @Gastineau Lives

[Beerfish]

Interesting, seeing the 'messages' on the back of NC's uniforms.

[Beerfish]

NC 7 Notre Dame 0

 

[Defense Wins Championships]

I'm an FSU fan but I remember as a kid 7-8 years old I loved them because the movie Rudy. I've always rooted for Notre Dame ever since a kid and think it's awesome how they joined our ACC Conference. 

I can't wait for FSU to retutn back to the top 25 but right now with Clemson. Notre Dame. Miami and UNC we have the most exciting Conference outside of only the SEC even teams like NC State and Boston College are competitive. 

UNC might upset Notre Dame today their offense when clicking is scary good.

It's nice to see Mack Brown do so well at NC after just being a commentator for a number of years.

Ryan Day tested positive for COVID.

Yup. Ohio State's coach. Won't be with his team tomorrow. 

This sh*t is out of control spreading like wildfire. 

[Beerfish]

NC has a very dynamic offense.

[kdels62]

Linderbaum is a stud. He was up against that 93 guy on Nebraska and had him on skates all day. There are some moments where his strength isn’t all there but it’s so rare.

[kdels62]

The ending of the Iowa game is what bugs me about college football. Nebraska player gets slammed awkwardly and is injured. The next play there’s a turnover and the commentators are all talking about football as if the last thing that happened to an unpaid 21 year old didn’t happen.

[Lith]

Wow.  That was one of the greatest 3 yard completions that i have ever seen on 3rd and 6.

[kdels62]

That geico clogging commercial is good.

Also if either of those LBs on ND or NC falls to the first pick in the 3rd you almost have to take one.

Happens every year with the flu. People will be able to get a vaccination soon like the flu shot.

UNC not having it today.  Fun game.

The ACC is tough as nails. 

Ohio State would struggle to finish within the top 4-5 in my ACC Conference. 

(Clemson/Notre Dame/Miami would all finish ahead of Ohio State and UNC would fight them until the end). 

[kdels62]

Liam Eichenberg is so effective but so unexciting.

I'm so excited to see Trevor Lawrence @ 3:30 come tomorrow vs. Pittsburgh. 

It's been over 1 month since we've last seen him play (10/24) due to A.) Two weeks of Covid. B.) Clemson's bye week and C.) FSU's cancelled game last week. 

But let's not forget where he left off...

6-0 overall (.100%), 135/191 (70.7%), 1,833 passing yards, 17 TD's/2 INT's, 4 rushing TD's and a QB Rating of 178.6. 

My favorite Trevor Lawrence performance this year was against the (now) 7-1 and 10th ranked Miami Hurricanes where he went 29/41 (70.7%), 292 Passing Yards, 3 TDs/0 INTs along with 34 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD and a QB Rating of 154.7 (Miami would be top 5 and undefeated if not for having to run into Trevor Lawrence). 

This will be an immediate test for Trevor Lawrence while returning and one I'm looking forward to because after 8 games Pittsburgh's defense ranks 8th in the Country in Defense (and 4th in INTs recorded). 

 

[Beerfish]

What utterly atrocious reffing at the end of the oregon/oregon state game.

Just a blatant offsides by oregon defense totally ignored. 

Oregon State wins, say goodbye to Oregon re any nat champ playoffs

starter gets hurt for orgeron state, backup's 1st snap ever is a 4th down rushing td.

 

[Defense Wins Championships]

Wow Ohio State's game tomorrow is cancelled. 

Unfortunately I don't think they'll have enough games played to be eligible for the 4 team playoffs. 

Which would stink because I really want to see another Clemson/Ohio State and Lawrence vs. Fields 2019 postseason rematch. 

Alabama. 

Clemson.

Notre Dame. 

Ohio State.

Are the 4 teams who I really want to see come the playoffs but unfortunately because of Covid I don't think it'll happen (a lesser team like Texas A&M/Gators/Cincinnati will sneak in instead).

Yeah that will be terrible if ohio state does not make it in.  I put a lot of stock in these playoffs being able to compare players playing teams with the same talent level.

The committee can still put Ohio State in if they want (I believe). OSU would likely not be eligible for the Big Ten championship game. 

At the end of the day the committee will likely be choosing between a second SEC team, Cincinnati, and Ohio State. 

If Northwestern wins out they would have a legit argument, but I don’t think they have enough firepower on offense to not trip up down the stretch or in the championship game.

 

 

[Jimmy 2 Times]

Notre Dame should stop playing.

With all of these games getting canceled, they’re only hurting their chances of getting in.  Why should they have to go 12-0 when OSU can go 5-0?

Gase is SALIVATING at the first minute of that game tape.

It will be interesting to see the gameplan Tony Elliot chooses today.  Aside from an ok Pitt defense, Clemson will be without their top 2 WRs in Frank Ladson and Joseph Ngata.   Excited to see true freshman EJ Williams get some regular reps though.  My guess is that Elliott will lean heavily on Etienne and Amari Rodgers today.  Plus Clemson’s O-line is still a work in progress, they’re not very good.
