Running directly into a wall of humanity is an interesting philosophy for a kick returner.

What a poo show of a play that was and it ends in a TD

There should be a stipulation that if you don't qualify for a conference championship game then by rule you can't qualify for the playoffs.

Yep. The truly elite teams at the college level can beat the good teams with their backups nine times out of ten. There's just a huge overall talent gap.

I thought Deion might stop trying to larp as a cowboy after spending a little time in Boulder and realizing that isn't the University of Colorado vibe AT ALL.

Nebraska seems to have a real issue on offense. Without Sims, they don't look to have any running game. But with Sims, they don't look to have any passing game.

LOLOLOLOL If you're gonna play this QB, you need to be running 80% of the time. He's a triple option QB through and through.

How in the hell are they going back to review a play before the last play? Nebraska might get rewarded for fuging up and false starting.

There are no roots left. The ACC was a basketball conference. They expanded for football. But then Miami and VT fell off a cliff so it didn't become the football powerhouse they planned. Now they're just in a desperate fight for survival.

Attempting a 54 yard FG in a defensive struggle doesn't seem like a smart gamble. Minnesota just handed Nebraska great field position.

Rhule's teams have always been about good defense and just enough offense to win. Why he was considered such a hot NFL candidate given today's offense driven game I just don't understand. Hell, I didn't understand it at the time. Lots of posters got pissed at me for pointing out that Rhule's style wasn't fundamentally much of a departure from Fox and Rivera.

He's a Georgia Tech transfer. He's a triple option guy. Which is interesting because back in Nebraska's powerhouse days they were a triple option team.

Well, nevermind. Evidently Spectrum and Disney are having a pissing contest so no ESPN at the moment. Nebraska/Minnesota it is.

Florida/Utah should be a pretty good game. I'll start out with that one.

Zappe looked competent starting actual regular season games. Looked like a decent backup. I was pretty surprised he got cut. I wouldn't be opposed to picking him up ourselves.

If you claim a player off of waivers he has to go on your active squad. A player has to clear the waiver wire before he can go to a practice squad.

Colts GM Chris Ballard's agent has to be working overtime right now getting the word out that this Taylor situation is entirely the doing of Irsay on a bender.

Not gonna lie, if I was a coach or GM I'd constantly be trying to temper expectations. Not a lot of guys have been fired for exceeding expectations.

I loved how he played down the stretch last year but that was in a run heavy scheme that really fit Ickey's strengths. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned watching edge rushers blowing by Ickey with alarming regularity this preseason.

In the types of spread schemes that are commonplace in the NFL these days it's a lot harder to hide a weak link in your OL. You need five guys who can all hold their own if you want to have five receiving options available.

I hope so. I'm not certain about him at LT in our new scheme but I ultimately think he'll be a key cog in our OL wheel even if it's not at LT.

This. I don't care where you went to school. Well, if you went to UNC that's an added bonus but other than that if you can play you can play and I want you. I thought Ickey was the safest OL in the draft because of potential positional versatility. I thought that if he didn't work out at LT worst case scenario he'd end up being a very good OG. Not exactly what you want out of a top 10 pick but a helluva lot better than an outright bust.

You're not wrong about that.

If he does, he does. I just want to see him breakthrough and show that he's elite before paying him like he's elite.
