I like this little KSU RB. Like wish.com Maurice Jones-Drew 

I mean he's light as a feather at 176? He isn't a bowling ball like drew. Now kstate can  absolutely run the ball and he has good patience and vision. Idk if he's an NFL guy though.

Honestly, by and large college games have been a lot more entertaining than the NFL this year and I'm not just saying that because the Heels have been pretty good and the Panthers have sucked per usual. There's just been a lot of bad football played in the NFL this season.

 

 

I’ll be completely transparent in saying that I’ve never actually given college football much of a chance to grow on me. Even as a UNC student ~15 years ago I only went to a few college games already trashed and not actually paying much attention to it. But I just feel like there are so many goofy Madden-esque stats being put up routinely by college offenses, like running backs getting 200+ yards with 10 ypc and QBs putting up 400 yards and 6 TDs. I can see how that’s entertaining and even the NFL seems to be wanting to trend in that direction which is why they’re continuously making it harder for defenses with the changes to some of the rules and becoming more and more trigger-happy with defensive penalties like roughing the passer and pass interference. I dunno, just seems more flash than substance for me with these college games.

At the end of the day, college football feels to me in many ways like the JV to the NFL’s varsity, and I just ain’t getting all that excited about JV football. But to each their own…I think finding passion in anything in life is almost always objectively a good thing unless it’s doing harm somehow.

College football is absolutely JV. In a lot of ways it is much closer to middle school football than even JV in comparison to the NFL.

College football is fine but it's an inherently and WILDLY unfair system without any shred of parity at all. It's the equivalent of a league with unlimited money to spend and no salary cap. It's very easy to cover up some incompetence and mismanagement by just out talenting the team in front of you.

The NFL inherently does have parity. The way that typically gets fuged up is incompetence and mismanagement. You can't outspend your issues or take advantage of the decades long systems of advantages built in.
