Jagusah won’t go pro until he gets at least 3/4 to 1 season on tape. Yeah he’s impressive physically but so are a lot of guys. Needs to show he can stay healthy and play ball

We talk about Love a lot but he was far from overused last year and got banged up a lot. What we do have is literally 5 other running backs who would start on many teams. Williams and Payne seem very similar. Kedron is who I would to see get the short yardage Carrie’s. Runs hard and low and is around 240 now.

A shocking stat I saw just yesterday, Jeremiyah Love had less than half the carries that Ashton Jeanty did. 163 carries vs 374, with Love tallying a total of 29 carries in the playoffs. There's just no way that we see Love be a legitimate Heisman contender with that kind of volume.

Jagusah has 5 starts under his belt. He'd definitely get drafted, but he needs to play more if he's going to get selected in the first two days.

Absolutely agree with this. He has a ton of talent without a doubt. He needs a good year next year! If he stays healthy, he could be a 1st or 2nd rounder!

there is no way an injury from falling off a go kart would add to status of injury prone.

Probably not, and calling him injury prone was probably a reach. I just want to see him play one regular season before worrying about him leaving for the draft.

Kedren is an absolute beast. Had to dig my phone out when he got in against Purdue to see who it was cause I had honestly forgotten about him. We were 9th row, but good lord that dude is huge.

I'm dumbfounded by how hyped up the media is hyping up Penn State the only advantage they have on their entire roster is QB and that's it, we are deeper and better at every position

It's a playoff seminfinal team that returned an QB that casuals view as "elite" because Dan Orlovskey thinks he'll be good in the NFL and was surprised he returned to school.

Seminfinal team + returning QB = Hype Train

Include Singleton as a household name and them generally returning a good secondary, and it's easy to project them as Ohio State's challengers in the B1G.

Rankings gotta start somewhere. The best thing I've learned in my old age as a CFB fan is to not get worked up about where coaches and media rank the team I root for... particularly in the era of a 12-team playoff.

ESPN will spew bullshit all year for ratings, shock value, and talking head spots, and the coaches will rank teams in a way that most helps their team or conference... but then the committee mostly gets it right in the end when all that stuff doesn't matter at the last minute.

In fairness to PSU, most NFL 2026 draft previews show PSU with a large number of players likely to be drafted. For example, draft buzz has Allar, DDS, and AJ Harris a projected 1st round picks. They also project Durant, Singleton, Campbell and Allen to round out the top 100 picks. Only Clemson has more projected 1st round picks (4) and Alabama and Texas tie PSU with 3 a piece. 7 projected top 100 players ties Alabama for 1st. I'm as skeptical of Allar as anybody -- I think he's Kurtis Rourke (IU QB) on a better team -- but their roster is legit.

TBH, beating PSU shows how great a job Freeman did in coaching the Orange Bowl. In terms of NFL talent, ND didn't deserve to be on the field with PSU.

I wouldn't read into individual drills at all lol. I like Sneed but there's no way he starts over KVA right? KVA/Bowen are the primarily ILBs and Ausberry/Sneed rotates through to keep everyone fresh.

They are not gospel, but they are not nothing. And no I would say Sneed definitely has a shot at WILL. He’s now 230 (same as KVA), and would probably be our highest ceiling alignment to have Bowen and Sneed start and KVA back up both.

Even then I'd take 50/50 odds that Carr has a better season than Allar.
