Props to Kentucky. They hung in there with a much more talented team. Questionable play calling down on the goal line. Running up the middle in short yardage hadn't worked for them all night and they pounded their heads against the wall over and over anyway 

Coach was just sick of losing SEC games and went all in.  I don’t hate it.  I didn’t like the call to have the RB jump on the pile for the 2nd straight play though.

Kentucky deserved to lose. Playcalling got scared with the game on the line 

Yeah, they hadn't been able to run up the middle in short yardage situations all night long and that's all they tried to do down there.

The QB had been as effective running as anyone they had. I would've rolled him out on an RPO on at least one of those downs.

That’s probably the one thing you can bet on not working.  You have to think that Texas straight up dwarfs Kentucky head to head in the trenches.

Yeah, you're basically talking a bunch of 5* recruits vs. a bunch of 2* and 3* recruits. It's the difference in talent in the trenches that really separates the blue bloods from the pack in the college game.

FSU is having the weirdest season. Beat Bama comfortably in week one then hit the ACC schedule at 3-0 and have gone 0-3 in the ACC but every game has been close.

Frank Reich is gonna beat FSU?  Lol

I hope Mendoza goes back to school, but chances are he's going to be QB1 in this class. If the Jets are #1, he might pull an Andrew Luck.  The dude just gets it and I would hate to see a QB with so much potential go to a complete dumpster fire organization like that.

Beck will be a Top 5 pick and it's not really even debatable at this point. Allar will be a Top 5 pick as well. Based on what I've seen out of UGA, the issues with Beck's play last year were not all his fault. He clearly took a lot of heat for it but I watch a lot of college football, and there isn't a better draft eligible QB in the country than Beck right now. That's a hill I'll die on.
