I like Restrepo.  But he if he is your #1 and what your O is going through….I don’t call that a championship caliber O.  Thats not how  Championship caliber Os with good QBs are built. 

Hunter Renfrow was a legend.  But Hunter Renfrow was an accessory/role player.  
 

 

They don't have a number one, which imo could make them harder to defend.  4 guys with 20 plus catches is better than 1 guy with 60 or 70.  And most importantly, the run game is averaging 5 ypc or better even if you subtract Ward's scrambles/runs.  They can run and pass with the best of them.  

They just can't stop anyone (well anyone other than Florida) and while they have a good shot at being in the playoffs, they have very little chance of winning because of poor defense.

Agree, a good offense will run it up on them.  They will face a decent defense as well at some point.

Everyone runs it up on them. They've just had enough offense to carry them. But the elite teams are gonna have enough defense to get enough stops to win comfortably IMO. Ward and the offense will still put up points but not enough.

Restrepo is the guy though.  It’s him and then the rest.  He nearly has double the yardage and double the scores of any other WR you could name. 

I just think championship caliber defenses keep that O down…..and then anyone can put up points on that D (as you said).  Good D front is going to cause way more negative plays given the chances Miami essentially invites for everyone

Fhule cratered in the big game...

Rhule should never be in the NFL.

But he has shown the ability to turn college programs around.  Even with today's loss, Nebraska is off to its best start in a long time.  It will be interesting to see if he can bring the program back to a championship level if he sticks around for more than a couple of years.

Smart by Dabo though. Get those reserves some snaps. 

It helps him keep kids too.  Why his model works.  No one in college football plays more kids than Clemson.  Starters basically call it a day each week before the 4th starts.  He is always grooming his roster up each week. 

Hurts the scoreboard eyeball test and why his studs back in the day could never see a Heisman.  Think if Watson and Trevor hadn’t missed so much action they could have padded their stats more for that race.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
