He is a newbie.

No, I "mentioned" him on the baseball thread and asked him to tell us what is his team.

I like the UCLA guy, Rosen. The guy at Wyoming is supposed to be good too. Allen??

Rosen is good but hes only a sophomore isn't he? And yes, hes a good one too.

He was a true freshman in 2015. So, this is his 3rd year.

Lienart was a hell of a talent but wanted to party it up at USC, made his money in the Pro's and now an analyst. He's had an ideal life  I would take it. Plus he won 2 National Titles. Was a Great College QB.

[NFLfan]

Georgia up 1 at Notre Dame, 17-16.

I thought he would be a better pro. He was not.

Yeah I don't think many picked ND to do much this season.

I did too but he wasn't into it, not a bad guy like Leaf but just didn't make it in the Pro's

Fans there must be not be pleased. They have not done much with Brian Kelly. Why haven't the alums called for his head the way they did with Bob Davie and Ty Willingham?

@jvan1973

your thoughts?

USC had a lot of very good QBs. Surprisingly none of them did all that much in the NFL. Mark Sanchez was probably the most successful one.

I thought the same. Carson Palmer was the best. Was Cassell at USC?

[RockThatBlue]

Oklahoma up 24-13 over OSU.

Palmer has had a Good career but nothing eye popping. In general you are right though, most don't.

I think Cassell was. There was anothet one with the last name Booty. They all were very good QBs for USC. Pretty surprising that none of them really were beasts in the NFL.

I don't remember Booty. Was there a Booty at Louisville?  (Sorry but that sounds funny. Lol. I have to edit it.)

Who could forget a name like John David Booty, Not John Booty but John David Booty

There is plenty of that but I have to go the bar

I remember the name but I don't associate it with USC. There was this whole family of QBs who were good in college but did nothing in the pros. I thought one or two  played for Louisville. I must have the wrong name.

There might've been, but I'm not sure. I think one played for USC.

Remember Robo QB, he didnt even eat a BigMac or Twinkie and trained all day since the age of 7

I looked it up. The name I was thinking of was Brohm. Jeff and Brian Brohm. They played for Louisville. I don't know why they stuck out to me. I never followed Louisville.

Marinovich

[RockThatBlue]

Oklahoma is now up 18. Wow.

ND still down by 1 but they are about to kick a FG. They got it. ND 19, Georgia 17.

Why was he called Robo QB? He played in college before I was following college. The first college I remember is Gino Torreta, Charlie Ward years.

His dad had him training from the age of 7 and he never ate fast food or sweets and ate only health food and was running and lifting weights his whole child hood. He was touted in College as being maybe the best ever. Look him up. They had a huge ESPN special on him.

[NFLfan]

You Indianapolis folks are not Notre Dame fans?? When I first started following college football, Lou Holtz was the head coach. I thought everyone was an ND fan. They were very popular in NY. They used to play a game in the Meadowlands almost every year (I think). Not anymore. They are on TV here every week.

I know of him. People talked about him all the time. I was just not familiar with "Robo QB".

 

What a terrible thing to do to your kid! I want to read his story.

I like them but being from the Midwest I always like Tom Osbourne and Nebraska back in the 80's and 90's. I was glad he finally won a Title. That 95 Nebraska team is the best ever IMO. They would take Alabama to the cleaners

[NFLfan]

Stanford is not winning this game. USC is clearly better.

Ah. I did not know. I was happy he finally won. Tommie Frazier was the prototypical option QB back then.

Maybe. I would love to see Bama lose again.

[RockThatBlue]

USC looks like a playoff team.

[NFLfan]

Update: Georgia at ND game

5 minutes left, ND still leading by 2 but Georgia is driving. They are inside the ND 15 yard line, 3rd down coming up...

 

Nick Chubb...RB for next draft

I love the option, Frazier was the man. I know Phillips was a terrible human being but he was an awesome RB. Their O.Line was like a Pro O.Line, their Defense was so great it wasn't even funny. They beat Florida 62-20

I think Phillips died. 

 

Back then Nebraska and Wisconsin were known for producing NFL O-linemen.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I still follow Nebraska football but it isn't the same.
