Bivin looked enormous. It's so hard to realize how big he is when he's standing amongst other OL, but with the other team USA captains... huge.

Wilson takes opening kickoff back. USA USA USA.

 

[peoriairish]

Bivin is #70

Kinlaw is #5

 

[STLDomer]

My teammate Abeln is 63. Someone please post if he is starting, he plays center.

Kinlaw may get some looks at Wildcat, was a top performer when he got reps there the other day.

I think he did. I saw him on several plays during that first offensive series.

Pretty sure Abeln started and is playing center.

Kinlaw hasn't been in yet and Bivin is holding down the R tackle spot. He's playing okay.

13-0 USA with 4 min left in 1st.

Kinlaw is getting some reps at WR. Just had a great broken play block to allow USA to gain 5 more yards.

Just caught a 20 yard pass... and is now down and hurt...

 

[IrishLax]

OMG...... he better not be hurt...........................

 

[johnnykillz]

Kinlaw hurt?

I hope not bad.

 

[peoriairish]

Yeah, he got tackled on the sideline. I wasn't able to really see what happened.

“@SBN_Wescott: Notre Dame commit Rasdad Kinlaw, who had been at WR, now 2nd-string QB after #Mizzou commit Trent Hosick left team for personal reasons.”

Any updates on kinlaw?

Are we at all in the running for drennon? Kid is playing some good ball.

 

[peoriairish]

No update on Kinlaw yet.

Here is a roster USA Football announces full 45-player roster for U.S. Under-19 National Team | USA Football

Are we at all in the running for drennon? Kid is playing some good ball.

Yes. We're solidly in his top 3.

No idea on Kinlaw. Hope he is OK, but I haven't seen him back on the field.

Tulley-Tillman getting a holding SMDH.

"Sloppy! Sloppy! Run it again! 32 option, the back missed the hole."

Seriously though.. flags everywhere

 

[peoriairish]

At half, it's USA 20 - 6 American Samoa.

 

[IrishLax]

Anyone see that commercial for Rudy's BBQ? Where the Texas hot sauce bottles score on the USC hot sauce bottles to win the national championship? Freaking hilarious. Especially the USC "cheerleader" hot sauce bottle celebrating as the "Vince Young" bottle breaks SoCal hearts everywhere.

 

[peoriairish]

Kinlaw on his way to the hospital for precautionary x-rays on his ankle.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Hope Kinlaw is ok and he isnt hurt too bad.

 

[IrishLax]

Well that sucks. Hope it isn't too bad; but if he's headed to the hospital it probably is.

 

[yankeeND]

Hope Kinlaw is ok. Have very high hopes for him!

Thanks TP for posting this! Would never had even known it was going on without ya bro!

 

[peoriairish]

USA 27 - 6 American Samoa

Still no word on Rashad.

Bivin played well. One gripe I have is that he seemed to come off his blocks a little early sometimes. That can be coached though. All the right skills and size are there.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Cant teach size! I was impressed with Bivin. It's def hard to get a grasp with that type of setting, I know it sounds cliche', but its essentially an all star game with about a week of practice. What impressed me was he is light on his feet, comes off well in the run game, and doesnt allow the edge against smaller/faster kids. Yes, its not michigan or sc but def positives. The thing that impressed me the most was there were a few times the play was a stretch and he just needed to chop block. Kid at 6'7 got low and took out the knees. Shows that he does have the agility/speed/athleticism to get low and carry out a solid block.

i watched about half the game, but USA just had speed and athletes. Can only imagine if they suited up one of the Army/Under Armour teams lol. I mean 2 years ago the West couldnt block Jernnigan, Lynch, Tuitt, Ishaq...imagine that haha.

 

[peoriairish]

I noticed the chop blocks too TP, but he did get burned a few times in the second half by a smaller, faster dude. Folston had to stay in and help him out.

I'm on my phone,so I'll link it later, but I read an interesting article addressing why the Jaylons, Hargreaves or Malik's of the recruiting classes don't play in the game. I guess there are 10 states that their high school football governing bodies do not allow their players to part update in this event. Weird. I'll link the article later.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Yeah, I mean things like this come with a greater chance of injury than a camp per-say. Its definitely something that comes along once in a lifetime to represent your country, but at the sametime I would def hesitate if I was a 5 star. 3 games in 8 days is a lot on the body so mad props to these kids for going out and getting after it.
