Thats awful for that Tennessee State player being hurt. Having surgery on his head. Breathing but not responsive

 

That is really bad. I hate to hear that. A college scholarship will not do much for that kid if he is permanently disabled.

I believe so. 6:30 kickoff. It's at home and we made an upgrade at qb so that is the only reason I'm giving us a chance. Still think Stanford wins by a TD.

Irish are a different team with Book at QB. That was a big W. The Cardinal have had our number. They'd won 3 in a row overcoming second half deficits by out scoring us like 39-7 in the 4th quarters.  We head to Blacksburg next never an easy place to get a W.

I can admit I was wrong about this Irish team. I still have issues with the OL but Book and the play calling with him is SOOOO much better than Winbush. A much better offense and team with him on the field. Not playoff caliber I think Georgia or Alabama would expose that OL and I’m not sure they could keep up with Oklahoma but this is a different team from a couple weeks ago. VT will be a true test.

I remember growing up that the Texas vs Oklahoma game was called the Red River Shootout.  Now I only hear it being called the Red River Showdown.  When did it change?

It's a pc world my friend.....I'm just waiting for them to take away Pete's pistol there in Oklahoma St. Probably even ban the fans from doing the finger gun!

Ol Mark Stoops and the coaching staff at UK turned back into a pumpkin last weekend. Good thing they have a bye this week to maybe get him straightened out. They still have a shot at a special season but the play calling was terrible...and to give up on their running game like that in OT....unexcusable.

 

Basketball season is around the corner and it seems both UK and IU decided to pack it in early after promising starts. Indiana is usually good for a half against OSU...maybe one day they will finish a game.

 

I have a feeling ND will have a huge let down one of these weeks....could be against Pitt who I think beat a nice Syracuse team. Just don't trust Kelly to not mess it up.

Well that's a shame if true, because that game was much more of a shootout than a showdown.

It was indeed! I always thought it was the Red River Rivalry but I think that is too hard to say 3 times fast lol! But ol times they are a changing...just saw the Cleveland Indians retired their logo the other day. Redskins will be next I'm sure.

I still am hopeful UK will be fine. It was a rough loss but A&M might be the best run defense we play this year. Their only losses are to Alabama and Clemson who pretty much everyone would lose too lol. 

 

The offense especially Wilson at QB hopefully worked on many things during this bye week because Wilson can't play another game like that. The defense still amazes me, they almost single handedly brought UK into that game. 

 

And Georgia losing was huge for UK. The East is there for UK if they don't trip up anymore.

Georgia is definitely beatable. UK should be playing in a New Years game this year if they finish strong. Josh Allen looks like a beast. Can't say I wouldn't want a player like him on the Colts.

Imagine how high Purdue would be ranked if they had not given away their first 2 games this season.

Probably top 10 for sure.

Congrats man. Brohm can coach.

He’s definitely a gambler, I love it!!! The whole team was playing inspired football last night, not only to beat a top ranked opponent, but for this young man, Tyler Trent......

Feel bad for the kid, he has not been doing well, but for him to muster up the energy to be there meant a lot to the team, and such an awesome thing for him to witness!!!

 

On a side note: Campus was insane last night after the win, kept us on our toes all night!!!!

He is so NFL ready. He reminds me of Tyler Lockett when he was at K-State. You just have to find a way to get the ball in his hands and Purdue did a good job of that last night and he made my Buckeyes look bad. I hated seeing my team get blasted, but that kid was fun to watch.

UK vs UGA 3:30 CBS for the east next week. Biggest UK game in a generation probably. Can't wait. 

 

I was impressed to see Wilson make the plays on that last drive, still worried about their offense vs Georgia.

 

UK vs UGA and UA vs LSU, big games in the SEC next week.

I think people are way overly harsh on Wilson sometimes. Hes basically a freshman in UKs system and he played a heck of a game yesterday (had more yards than Lock and Lock is arguably one of the best SEC QBs in history). I agree though 15 points will not be enough against Georgia and Snell will need a big game. But with our defense we will definitely have a shot. Our D forced 8 straight 3 and outs yesterday in the second half, it was amazing.

Tua and M. Stafford may have a claim on the best QBs out of the SEC.  Kentucky's D is really good and it will be interesting to see them against UGA's offense.  Wilson will need to have a good game too, K. Smart will try to take Snell out of the game.  I do believe that Kentucky's defense and home field advantage will give them a chance against Georgia.

Love the way the coaching staff uses Hoak to “motivate” TW

The things that will haunt Lock is his failure against the SEC and the fact that he has played under pass happy OCs

    • Yes, he's available but there's a reason he didn't get a lot of playing time.  He's not exactly reliable as a receiver.   I think he was in the top 10 for drops.   Didn't he basically blow the Buffalo game for them when we played them a couple years ago?     I'm not saying they shouldn't have brought him in.  I just think there was room for him and Campbell, especially considering their contracts.
    • What’s interesting is colts take a QB at 4 and Arizona trades down or even stays at 3 does the other one go to Titans. We might end up seeing both of them competing against each other for years. Titans are a very real possibility to trade to 3 or one falls to them at 11.  Along with young. Ballards decision not to trade up and stand pat is probably going to either look really bad or really good with a possibility of 3 of these guys ending up in the AFC South. At least two of them probably will.
    • I think my biggest gripe Re: Richardson vs Levis is that the majority of our fans (not all) and the majority of media analysts will give Richardson a pass for all of his issues (inaccuracy, leaving throws high, not exhibiting touch often enough, decision making, etc) and chalk them up to his inexperience and overlook it all since his tools offer an immense amount of upside.   But then with Levis, his issues (relating to avoid sacks, some touch throw issues, his low rating outside the pocket, etc) are often used as the barometer against him and why he "sucks" or is going to be a bust.   The reality is that they both have an immense amount of upside. Richardson probably has a bit more, simply because his rushing dynamic is lights out, whereas Levis' rushing ability is probably good but not elite. I saw someone say Levis has Daniel Jones rushing upside. That is probably true.   But when people think Richardson and his rushing upside, they think Fields and Lamar.    The other thing I keep seeing is folks bashing Levis due to player comparisons. I completely ignore the Zach Wilson ones because they are so absurd they dont even deserve consideration. They are totally different players so that comparsion doesnt really phase me or compute to me.   The Wentz comparison to me is interesting for a few reasons. One is that before Levis was compared to Wentz, so was Josh Allen.   Josh Allen's comparison was in a good way because Wentz was progressing at the time and it was "look at Allen's tools. He could totally become Wentz".   But now it is "Look at Levis. He could totally become a bust like Wentz".   I think the reality is that Wentz was on a fantastic franchise-QB trajectory before his injury ending his MVP-leading season. Then he was just good but not great before eventually everything fell apart.   But make no mistake, I (and many others) thought the Wentz acquisition could really work out. We though Reich and staff could recreate the progress Wentz had been making prior to his injury. It just did not happen. And you were left with the highs that worked out well and the lows that doomed you and the inconsistency sided on the poor side more than the high side and the rest is history.    Levis and Richardson both have that same tantalizing upside and dark downside. They could flourish or they could bust.   It is OK to prefer one over the other. I slightly prefer Richardson but it is close.    I, for the life of me, can't fathom how someone can stand for one of them and yet absolutely hate the other. They both have huge upside and both have franchise-crushing downsides as well.    I totally get the Stroud/Young enthusiasts hating both of AR and Levis. That makes sense. I don't understand liking one and not the other.    I hope we end up w one of the two of them and see what this staff can do with them. And if they bust in the next 2-3 years, chances are the team will suck badly enough to be in position to draft the next high-upside franchise signal caller.   That is why i think staying at 4 is key and swinging for the fences w one of the two of them makes the most sense.    Guess we will know in about a month or so.
