Sounds similar to what happened with Cross last year. In that case, no chance he plays against ND. Cross was out for the remainder of the regular season and only returned for the CFP 6 weeks later and was still very much hobbled.

Fumbled on the 1, returned 99 yards for 6. Crist throws a pick at the 7, touchback. Rees throws to TJ Jones at the 5, it doinks off his helmet and is picked off. ND got down to the 13, missed a chip shot field goal. ND made it to the redzone 4 times and came away with ZERO points. 3...

First year starting QB's who won it all: Greg McElroy (2009) Cam Newson (2010) AJ McCarron (2011) Jameis Winston (2013) Cardale Jones (2014) Jake Coker (2015) Trevor Lawrence (2018) Not to say having a new starting QB with little to no experience isn't nothing, but it's definitely happened...

Seems like ESPN is weighing experience at QB heavily, but experience alone isn't enough. Carson Beck is coming off a serious injury and went a large chunk of the offseason not even throwing the ball, much less practicing and learning the offense. And if we look at last season, Beck's track...

Hendrix shouldn't even touch the list, much less be #1. Dude wasn't a big-time recruit by any stretch of the imagination. He was around the 16th ranked QB in his class. Yeah, he sucked when he got in the game, but a borderline low 4-star being a bust isn't that crazy to consider. Crist was the...

I don't recall Love being banged up during the regular season. The only injury I remember him having last year was the knee injury he suffered against USC, which lingered for basically the entire CFP.

I've said before, but Pauling and Fields are very intriguing because they are likely to finally have the opportunity to get some quality looks with some decent QB play.

Not every true freshman can be Leonard Moore. Not every true freshman can be Christian Gray. Not every true freshman can be Ben Morrison. Three times in a row that Mickens had a freshman ready to go when needed. You know what they say. Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice.....strike three.

According to ISD, it sounded like Zinter was practicing with the ends, which makes sense. Also, our boy Wagner made it to the 300 club apparently. This truly is a year of major milestones.

Well now we know what Chris Ash's defensive wrinkle is gonna be. Medieval siege tactics.

I'd be very surprised if the defense took a major step back. I won't say there shouldn't be skepticism from transitioning from Golden to Ash, but at the end of the day, there shouldn't be any mistaking that Marcus Freeman has a huge hand in how the defense operates. Unless Ash is BVG-esque in...

Don't thank me. Thank the guys who kept the A/C running out there. They're the real heroes!

Preach. I missed the whole 2019 season while I was deployed. Thankfully my month-long upgrade training finishes up right before the Miami game.

Everything I've read was that he was full go for summer workouts, as was Botelho prior to his recent injury.

I agree that this will be the battle that wins/loses us the game, which is why I'm very confident. ND's DL has faced plenty of teams with similar talent to Miami up front. The same can't be said for the reverse. Miami's experience is primarily against some really porous defenses. Nobody on...

Sadly, the buzz around the news is that it's pretty serious. The big "C" is being thrown around as the diagnosis. Praying that isn't the case, but I'm worried it might be.

I put zero stock in their win over Florida. The Florida team at the start of the year was nowhere near the same team as they were at the end of it. They also got slapped around by A&M at home. They were a steaming dumpster fire until later in the year when Lagway took over.

Bowen is easily one of the scummiest flips I can recall. Dude legit gaslit the coaches and his fellow commits and then did a hat selection announcement while still committed to ND. Seriously, how can that be seen as anything but disrespectful? I can't say I didn't feel a bit of schadenfreude...

Yeah, overall those rankings are pretty much as expected, with two glaring exceptions. I wouldn't have McKeogh that high. Granted, he absolutely has that kind of ceiling, just that I think he needs to show it before reaching 5-star territory, but whatever. But yeah, O'Brien has no business...
