What’s crazy is that their defense has made significant strides year-over-year, and the advanced metrics still think they are a fringe top 20 team.
Like allergic to winning. Feel a lot like 2016 ND...
Ran for 151 on 19 carries against Audric Estime’s and Howard Cross’s St Joes Montvale yesterday. Burress also had a 80 yard TD.

St Joe’s...
Louisville was due for a big ranked win. One scores games in all of their losses. Advanced stats surprisingly liked them a lot all season and looks like it makes sense now.
Compared to the last decade, this is definitely the weakest the very top of the sport has been, however, I don’t think teams 5 to 15 or two different than they typically are
Yeah if we weren't at least talking to Gideon or other RBs, James probably would already have an offer. If he leaves ND with one then that pretty much tells you where we're at with other options.
I think he's very good at "playing running back" (If that makes sense), I just dont know if it will translate well to big time CFB at his size. Doesnt seem to have 4.4 speed to make up for it.
