Love the way Duke came out and dominated Elon in the second half. Did not love the way they played at all in the first half. Got a lot of missed tackles on film for this week and the next game's not gonna be easy at all.

Once the offense really gets in sync I think they are going to score a lot of points this year.  Even in the first half they had opportunities to break the game open and just missed it.  The D on the other hand needs some work which surprised me.

It wouldn't surprise me if USF beats Boise State. I feel like Boise is overrated this year; they're not going to have Ashton Jeanty to lean on anymore, but everyone has them taking the final playoff spot. I think the American winner (Navy? Tulane?) stands a better chance of getting that last spot.

Nice call

Conked out during the 1st quarter of the Cinci game. Seeing Boise State get belt-to-ass + the ECU/NC St (and the 60hr work week I've had) took a lot out of me.

I am not ready for the feels I'm going to experience on Saturday during Corso's last show. 😭😭

I feel like Baylor has the edge against Auburn tonight. I'm not a big Jackson Arnold fan and Baylor has a good number of starters returning from last year and finished last season pretty hot.

I also think Miami might be a disappointment this year. Carson Beck is a huge downgrade from Cam Ward and that defense has never really played as well as the talent level would dictate it should. I can see Notre Dame going in this weekend and winning big, but I'm not super confident in their QB situation either.

App State/Charlotte could be a sneaky good game, too. No idea who is going to win that one.

I was definitely impressed with Mensah. That dude's a baller.

Carson Beck is honestly pretty much ass. Put him on some borderline top 25 team and I honestly don't remember think he's draftable.

But he did the smart thing. He hit the portal and got him a big ass NIL bag. That's what Ewers should've done too. Those guys are good enough to get big NIL money but probably aren't good enough for the NIL so go get you $$$ while the gettin's good.

Auburn is a basketball school that wastes its money on football ineptitude, but they do have an excellent WR corps this season. That'll definitely help. I don't see them ever beating Alabama again, though. Six wins should be their goal this year. Anything more is not very realistic. They're two years away from being three years away.

Miami is always hyped up too much, but it's more justified this year. They won 10 games last year and were a Cam Ward business decision away from 11 wins. Beck is a good QB and the pieces are there for an ACC Championship Game appearance, but they'll fall a bit short due in part to a questionable defense and Cristobal's patented late-game coaching gaffes.

If App State doesn't beat UNCC, that's an awful look on their staff.

I'm so out of the loop I didn't realize he transferred to Miami.  And apparently someone stole his Lambo back in February?  So stupid to even buy that thing.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
