Please understand what I'm saying. He is a TERRIFIC college QB. Nothing about his game at the college level is hype. But his projection to the NFL is no slam dunk. How long he holds the ball will not translate. He will have to change his game to succeed at the NFL level.

Clemson/Syracuse it is I guess.

Kentucky is skull dragging Florida too. That was the game I was planning to go to.

Last year his average time to throw was literally the slowest among all P5 college QBs. All I'm saying is he's going to have to significantly speed up his processing in the NFL against much better, much faster, much more complex defenses. His projection isn't nearly as slam dunk as you think it is. Plenty of super talented QBs have failed on the NFL. Physical talent is only half the battle.

Well, this is going exactly as expected. Time to check out other games. Colorado and Coach Prime hype train has been postponed until next year.

This overall QB class looks strong as hell and we look destined for a top 5 pick. Yeah...

The guy is a terrific college QB in the most prolific college offensive system in the country by miles. That's what Lincoln Riley does. I'm just talking about NFL projection. The talking heads just get dazzled by what he's doing in college without stopping to think... wait, does this actually translate to the NFL? Because consistently holding the ball for 4+ seconds doesn't. You can't do that in the NFL. We know he checks every physical talent box and then some. I just don't know if he can speed up his processing and he's going to have to.

Oof. Sanders with a Sam Darnold ball.

More and more the NFL is becoming a league all about getting the ball out fast. If your average time to throw is over three seconds you are way too slow. 2.5 seconds is quickly becoming about league average. Can Williams do that?

He held the ball on a pristine pocket for like six seconds until a guy came wide open. Yeah, the guy is super talented but how hard you bite on hype is just comical.

Caleb Williams' talent is obvious but I'm telling you, in terms of NFL projection how long he holds the ball is a problem. Can he change that? I don't know.

Standard Pac-12 and standard Lincoln Riley. Lincoln Riley football was made for the Pac-12.

That was a gift of a flag for Colorado.

I know Colorado is all about playing fast on offense but when you're going up against a team that's just flat out more talented and better you have to have the ability to change gears and slow the game down. More possessions and more plays favors the more talented team.

This is just cold hard truth.

Colorado really needed to get on that fumble. They're going to have to catch some lucky breaks to have any chance of keeping this competitive.

I don't pay attention to what the talking heads say. You just guzzle hype. It's what you do. Once again, UNC/Maye gets brought up again by someone other than me but I'm the one always talking about it. What a joke.

Yeah, this is gonna get ugly fast. Colorado is greatly improved from recent years but that TCU game was a flash in the pan. Realistically, they're probably a top 40ish team. When they go up against legit top teams they're just thoroughly outmatched.

That 3rd down play right there is what concerns me about Caleb Williams projecting to the NFL. Standing in a perfect pocket patting the ball for hours while a guy stands in the middle of the field wide open until he finally sees him. I'm just not convinced he sees the field fast enough to translate.

Seeing Colorado getting skull drug again isn't very intriguing.

One of the concerning things so far is that when he's tried to do this at the NFL level he's getting caught more often than not. He's definitely going to have to adjust to the faster overall defenses when it comes to his scrambling.

It's definitely a soft Saturday of college football when duke might honestly be involved in the most intriguing matchup of the day.

I was told by a good buddy who is an Eagles fan that Miles was nothing special and a product of that Eagles OL and that we'd quickly grow tired of watching him run into the backs of his OL when there's a hole to hit just a few feet away. I hoped it was sour grapes but it looks like he's right.

I hope they do great in the $EC. I want everyone on UNC's schedule to kill it.

Louisville might be the worst 5-0 team ever.
