I like the 4 in the playoff, and I like that they put Baylor ahead of TCU. Really interesting matchups. The long wait I think helps FSU be more prepared for that Oregon offense.

No more soft Pac-12 football for Oregon. I hope FSU kicks the sht out of them. I was really hoping they would match my Buckeyes against them, but it is what it is. Its big boy football now for Oregon.

Urban Meyer is the last chance for the Big Ten to show the country they belong. If it is one sided for Alabama, the SEC will be viewed even more favorably and the Big Ten looked down upon more.

 

I think they will hang around with Bama, but I'm not quite sure they will win. The secondary still isn't good, and if they can't get pressure with their front-7, that backend will get picked on all day. However, this isn't the same Bama team from 12' or 09' either. I think Urban will have them ready to go, but they still have to execute. All in all, to be in this position with a 3rd string QB is impressive. I don't think the other 3 teams could have done what State has done this year if they were put into the same situation.

 

This years bowl games should be pretty good...

FSU vs Bama is what I see. I see Bama just imposung their will on Ohio St. And I dont think Oregon will be able to stop Florida States run game behind a very big, physical offensive line. Thats gonna be their best defense. Just pound the ball and force Oregon to stop it, meanwhile you're keeping that Ducks offense off the field and contrlling the clock. I think Florida St takes care of business.

TY, do you think that will swing the result in anyway? At first they made it sound like it was Mariota.  (of course it was just a news tease, so what do you expect right?).  He does seem to be pretty important but I haven't follow Oregon much to know what their possible replacements have going for them.  Thanks for the info TY!

Oregon has some decent back-ups at CB, but none to this guys level. Before this injury he was predicted a sure fire first round draft pick. This could impact the game, as Fla State has an All-American WR, and ifo could at least contain him enough. I don't know if the backups can cover that guy. But I do know this..There is no one on Fla State that will stop Oregon's WR's and TE, and the TE is a back up as well, but he's as good as any TE playing in college right now (his name is Stanford).

 

What Fla St has to worry about is not only Mariota, but one of the best "unknown" RB's in the nation in Royce Freeman...a 6'1" 230 lb bulldozer that runs a 4.4-4.5 40, with shiftiness and power. Previously, they had smaller backs like La Michael James, Kenyon Barner, De'Anthony Thomas...Not this year...Freeman will bowl you over, then out race you to the end zone..and then throw in a bit of wr/rb Byron Marshall. who got 100 yards last year as starting RB, then moved to WR cause of Freeman and still got lots of yards. The other WR, is true freshman Charles Nelson, who is a beast on returns and is hard to take down, kinda like De'anthony. Their 3rd wide receiver not only has great hands, but you might see him at the 2016 Olympics. He is the 110 m NCAA hurdles champion, who also can catch and run good routes. HIs name is Devon Allen 6'1 185...

 

Oregon is going to outscore Fla State...Fla State has some weapons, but not the pure team speed that the Ducks possess. Its going to be an interesting game.

It seems simply based on play all season that any of the other 3 teams would be favored against Fla St.  I am sure FS fans would disagree, but I watched about 7 or 8 of their games and they really played poorly and then used their NFL caliber QB to overwhelm them at the end to win.  These Ducks seems like they are full of NFL players on both sides of the ball.   

 

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      Any chance we take a OT with the 1st pick?

      FWIW:   Today I listened to a guy from The Athletic interviewed on ESPN.   (Darren Lee). He said interviewing GMs at the combine, almost all view DeJean as a safety except two teams.  He thinks the Colts and Jags view DeJean as a corner.     I don’t know this reporter, never seen him before, so I can’t speak to his credibility.  But it sounds like he did a lot of homework.     And I appreciate your view on pro day times being reliable or not.   I’m always skeptical on pro days.  But I thought DeJean helped himself on his testing.

      It’s officially over: Luck says he will never return.

      I could care less what he does. Been too long ago.

      I’m with ya..     I'm not sure we’re going WR at 15 either.  I think we could go DE, and it’s possible we could go CB as well.   Gosh,  I love Mitchell and really like Arnold as well.  And if we trade back I would be fine with McKinstry or a DE on defense or one of the 2nd tier of WRs that could be there in the 20’s.  So many options.   I keep reminding myself, every pick could produce a surprise, because I think Ballard will have so many options to choose from.      Im also not sure Ballard will use all 7 rounds.   He finished in 5 rounds in his first draft 2017,  and he finished in 6 rounds in 2019.   Maybe he uses all 7 rounds, but I’m not confident we will.     One week from tonight.

      IndyColtsFan411's Never-ending Mock Drafts Post

      By coltsfanatic24 · Posted

      My Final Mock Draft   15. Brock Bowers, TE,  6’4 245 Lbs, Georgia - Blue Chip Prospect.  Rare combination of acceleration, speed and body control. Hands-catcher operating with good coordination and technique. With Pittman on the outside Bowers will control the middle of the field and seams. AR Will develop much quicker into a top 10 QB with Bowers as his TE.  46. TJ Tampa, CB, 6’1, 190 Lbs, Iowa State - Elite physical traits. Plays with good positioning throughout routes. Very good in press Coverage and Zone. Expect him to compete in training camp and be named a starter.      82. Calen Bullock, S, 6’2 190 lbs, USC - Elite physical traits. He has the range to play single-high safety, the athleticism to line up over the slot and the ball skills to chalk up impressive on-ball production. Expect him to compete in training camp for the starting S position.    117. Tez Walker,  WR,  6’2 195 Lbs, UNC - Elite speed with very good body control. Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions. Gives us very good depth and competition with Pierce.    151. Grayson Murphy, DE, 6’3 260 Lbs, UCLA - Shows impressive quickness and change of direction to help turn speed to power as a rusher. Good depth.    191.  Keaton Bills, G, 6’5 320 Lbs, Utah - Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front. Very good depth.
