Kelly said if he goes with the cubs maybe he won't be on the front page of every news paper. In context it actually was funny.

We noticed that week 2 you moron. Be observant and adjust quicker, BK. Tori Hunter can sit for Stepherson as well, IMO. Tori can't get open as well as Stepherson.

 

[IrishLion]

ESB and Claypool on the outsides... line 'em up and call them The Two Towers.

Throw Stepherson in the slot and let him run that go-route down the seam.

Sprinkle in some Torii to spell the young guy, and some CJ in the opposite slot in 4-WR sets.

[Wingman Ray]

So Im watching the BK Miami Press conference...BK states "the difference between winning and losing is a play here and a play there."

Really.

I wonder if for Bama, OSU, Mich, Clemson and such it would only come down to 1 or 2 plays between winning and losing to teams like Duke and NC State.

1 or 2 plays is for games when you play great competition.

He also said something like 'we're going to win one of these'. Fuck we should be winning most if not all of them. Not one.

Don't put us in the same breath as some of those other schools. For one, few schools have seen the attrition we've had the last few years. We're operating with a very young team right now, and we've been playing like a young team. There's been growth on defense the last few weeks since BVG left, we just need to see some consistency on offense, maybe a stabilized OL and find our running game. We could be fine if those things happen and the defense continues to improve.

Clemson was one play away from losing to NC St, NC St missed the game winning FG.

It took OSU one play to lose to Penn St, a blocked FG.

FSU was a pass interference call and last second FG from beating UNC. UNC ends up upsetting them because of those few plays.

So other top programs do struggle against teams that are non-great competition by one or two plays.

Those three games were just off the top of my head.

Yep Claypool and Bonner need more reps, especially Claypool. I'm fine with the reps Stepherson is receiving, I'm not as high on him as others are. But what do I know.

We noticed that week 2 you moron. Be observant and adjust quicker, BK. Tori Hunter can sit for Stepherson as well, IMO. Tori can't get open as well as Stepherson.

Tori is not a game breaker at WR, but I think he is the most reliable of the group. 3rd and 7 Tori would be my go to man.

This is just dumb.

As others have mentioned Clemson should have lost to NC State when playing at home, not on the road at HOME, if not for NC State kicker missing a chip shot FG at the end of regulation.

OSU just lost PSU. Elimate one of the block punt or block FG and OSU wins the game.

Let's go to Michigan now. They would have beaten Michigan State at home last year, if it was not for the punter completely f*cking up.

Alabama next...Would have been in the National title game a few years ago, if they had not decided to kick a game winning 55 yard (or whatever distance) FG.

You honestly think Torii should have been sitting since week 2?

Stephenson over Tori isn't as obvious as Claypool over everyone not named ESB, but yes, I think Stephenson has been better than Hunter.

Just stop it. Stepherson has no idea how to run a route yet, nor does he have a very strong grasp of the playbook. This is evident. How can you possibly justify starting this true frosh over a talented vet like TH? Unreal

It's funny that you bring up Route running, when that is what Stepherson is praised for and Hunter can't separate from anyone.
