2024 College Football Chatter

Derrick Harmon is very legit, just another potential first round DT to add to the list.
 
And Jeanty with another long TD run. 54 yards this time.

I'm literally rooting for him to have a random 22/80 game just so we can have a shot at him in the mid/late teens.

It's kind of crazy. You look at him physically and he isn't that impressive. He isn't tall, he isn't super thick, he doesn't have blazing speed. But by God his contact balance and vision are special once you see him start to run.

It could be my Emmitt-bias but I'd rather have a guy who is 5-9, 210 than 5-11, 215 (like Bijan). Unless a guy is 225+ like Elliott or Henry height is arguably a negative thing because there's more contact surface to hit and they have a more linear body overall.

That's the gayest shit I've ever seen. He hasn't been there in 7 fucking years.

Yeah, I don't get it and I don't like it.

I'm all for enjoying the bragging rights that comes with beating a hated rival, but not if it makes you looks lame.

Some of these kids were in junior high school when Mayfield last played at OU so I really don't understand where that came from.
 
Colorado is definitely a better team than they were last year, but man they continue to be really bad at all the fundamental things.

I don't understand how you build your team around your QB and passing game but you still haven't figured out how to protect him.

I don't know what the quality is of that coaching staff, but they aren't doing a good job teaching those kids to be smart or how to do the fundamental things well.

That's why they're 5-7 in one score games going back to last season.

That's a game Penn State would usually have lost. Couldn't believe they pulled it out.

I like Penn State and they've got a lot of talent everywhere except for at WR, and that's why I feel like they labor to win and and don't look more impressive as a whole than they do.

Allar has a lot of good physical tools but none of those receivers scare you and I think that's why he doesn't flash more individually.

Having said that, they've got quite a few players that I'm a fan of and would be happy to see any of them in a Cowboys uniform.

Abdul Carter, Tyler Warren (what a stud), Jaylen Reed, and both RBs.... especially Kaytron Allen.

Singleton is the shifter guy with more big play potential, but I think Allen is gonna be a steal for someone in the draft and I would love to see the Cowboys look at him in the later rounds.

He actually reminds me a little of Marion Barber with his overall skill set and I think it's a skill set that doesn't flash, but it translates very well to the pro game. He's a very physical runner but he's also good in pass protection and really solid as a receiver out of the backfield.

I think if you can pair him with a Tony Pollard type in the NFL, he's going to bring great value to you as a 4th or 5th rounder.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Their WRs are mediocre at best and disappear for long stretches. Yesterday, they relied too much on Warren, if they had another even semi-reliable option, it would open things up and allow them to compete with Ohio State, Oregon etc. Right now, they are in the same spot they have been for years. Good enough to beat most teams, but not OSU, Michigan, etc.

The other advantage of either Singleton or Allen is they have split carries since they've been there. Not a lot of wear and tear on either of them.
