[Kak7304]

I wish Greg Bryant were in that picture to show off all our ridiculously jacked 5-star freshmen.

^so that's what it looks like to have Alabamaesque players in ND uniforms.

Gonna be a bright future.

Deer Antler Spray - #1 Deer Antler Velvet Extract

I'm pretty sure Jaylon would just run down the deer and eat the antler whole instead of using some crappy spray.

Everything points to Jaylon Smith being at a minimum "the real deal" and that the only person who could limit his on-field reps was an extremely under-rated super football player named Danny Spond. So, absolutely, Jaylon is that good.

As far as the Councell quote is concerned, Ben's response to the comment that he and Jaylon would both see a lot of the field was: that's news to me; I haven't been told anything yet about playing time. Councell's response was [to my ear] simply that he was right in line with Kelly's mantra that we're all out here competing, and whatever happens as to reps happens later. Didn't sound to me like a "surprise" statement at all. In fact Ben said nice things about Jaylon.

I think it might have been more about the staff not even discussing the depth chart up until then. Sounds like Ben was just concentrating on playing football and not worried about the external distractions.

That almost sounds.........racist

They look like NFL blitz characters. The scary part is that they have 3-4 more years in the longo system.

I thought the same thing

Oh boy...then we could have another fantastic race debate. Stop looking for race at every turn...its annoying. IMO

For Jaylon to start says mountains about his physical and mental makeup and abilities. About the only time you see a freshman start is at RB or WR and that's because those positions are a little easier to play right away. He is going to be fun to watch.

The way these jackasses on ESPN talk about these freshman starting for Ole Miss, you would think Jaylon would get some kind of pub.

ND doesn't have an exclusive, multi-million dollar contract with EsPN.

Jaylon for heisman 2015

Love the SIG, reps when I'm not on my phone.

IMO had a very solid game on Saturday, a lot more noticeable than vs Temple. Wish he had picked off that pass though. Would have been a game changer.

Agree 100%, really like what I saw from Jaylon on Saturday. He made several one-on-one tackles in space that saved a good 5-10 yards if he didn't make them. He still looked a little lost on a few pre-snaps, but that will go away with experience. I think by the time Oklahoma rolls into town, you will barely see him off the field.

I think we win the game with that INT. Still, he played better than just about every LB on our team. Kid's going to be awesome to watch for the next 3-4 years.

I must've been out of the room taking a leak. When was this "INT opportunity?"

****, i deleted mine as soon as they took the last snap...bad karma leaving losses dvr'd

He's already better than Fox or Calabreese. The fact that he caught Gardner from behind was just amazing.

Ha I did the same ... and then regretted it yesterday because I wanted to watch the game again. Sometimes on a second viewing your analysis changes.

i can't stand watching our games a second time when on ESPN/ABC if we lose. Musberger is too much to deal with.

You know, someone else posted how Jaylon did not catch Devin Gardner. But I saw him run him down when Gardner was passing; Gardner getting a hurried throw away, and I thought I saw Jaylon Smith bringing Gardner down from behind on a good gain that could have been a great gain. Am I crazy or did I see these things? I never looked at my dvr of this game, I just deleted it yesterday, also!

On one play in particular yes... he did chase him down and saved probably 15+ more yards on the run.
