Official 2018 NCAA Football Thread

Dunno... I've heard that same "most exciting play" argument before as well. I doubt you will see it go out, but I'd rather see them down it in the endzone. I remember Kenyon Drake breaking his arm on a kickoff a few years back. I was out a long time getting that healed up. Lucky that he was able to come back for the NC game.

 

And he also ran a a kickoff back in that nc game haha

 

Notre Dame played seven teams that ended up in the top 25.

 

Alabama played 5 and was 4-1 against them.

I would have put tOSU ahead of Clemson in the final AP poll, but otherwise I think they got the top 6 right.

Also... auburn: the best 4-time loser in the country.

1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Oklahoma
4. Clemson
5. Ohio State
6. UCF
7. Wisconsin
8. Penn State
9. TCU
10. Auburn
11. Notre Dame
12. USC
13. Miami (Fla.)
14. Oklahoma State
15. Michigan State
16. Washington
17. Northwestern
18. LSU
19. Mississippi State
20. Stanford
21. South Florida
22. Boise State
23. NC State
24. Virginia Tech
25. Memphis ​

 

UGA played 5 and was 4-2

 

That math makes sense.

 

(they played auburn twice, so 5 team but 6 games, but I assume you realize this)

 

Lol yes I do. Twas a joke.

 

Well it is official now.

Not unexpected. We’ll be ok

 

I know but its just hard seeing a 5* transfer out. I know we still have 2 more 5* back there.

Guess my Eason jersey will never see Sanford again....

 

Can’t blame him, or hold anything against him. He wants to play, and at the end of the day/season he didn’t make a cry baby fuss about it. I think he will make highlights where ever he goes.
To my understanding(ncaa transfer policy) he has to sit out a year. Is that correct?

 

Correct but he still has a redshirt they could put on him. They will probably redshirt him next year if they can so he has that extra year of playing.

Idk if you can swap a redshirt for having to sit out a year if you transferred.

 

I don't think you can swap a redshirt year for a season of ineligibility... BUT he's transferring close to home, and to a contender in the PAC12, Sitting behind a senior starter for a year before (presumably) being the guy is better than his prospects at UGA given what Fromm did this year.

 

I'm re-watching the 2nd half as I do some work. I haven't yet re-watched the 1st half. Doubt I will!

There were a number of calls that went Alabama's way in the game. I won't disagree with that.

BUT, the offsides on the punt was really a nothingburger. It should have been a false start on 4 or 5 Alabama players, which would have killed the play and backed us up 5 yards. With Scott punting, 5 yards doesn't mean much either way.

 

I don’t know that I can bring myself to watch again, at least anytime soon. And while there are a lot of UGA fans that keep going on about the punt block I said exactly what you said so that call didn’t bother me. The face masks and holding calls get missed so I can understand them from both sides. The 2 I don’t get though were when Fromm got his head shoved with the ref right there coming in to spot the ball and the false start calls. The line judge is there looking for this so I don’t understand how them get missed.

But now that I’ve had time to come down from it all we had chances to put the game away and went conservative. I know Kirby wanted to run clock but Chubb wasn’t having much success running and Sony was finding some gaps. Don’t understand why we kept with Chubb so much late? Although had we try to throw towards the end and it didn’t work everyone would’ve questioned that since running is our identity and needed to run the clock. But it was Fromm’s arm that was carrying us through that game for the most part.

 

Yea. SHOULD have been. But it wasn’t called. The offsides was.

That’s a 10 yard swing, anyway. Better field position, who knows what happens. Everyone knows it should have been a FS. But...it wasn’t Called either...

 

RIP Keith Jackson, the BEST voice in college football and several other sports!!!!!! 1/12/18 at age 89

 

He made a good game better when he called it.....RIP.
