30 totes, I think, and it has been a long spell since any one back carried that many times. He is clearly a tough kid. I would suppose that in '17 the effort will be to reduce that count but maybe not, given his explosiveness, split them somewhat evenly with somebody else.

That is just loaded with transfer ironies, isn't it?

Well, you see, that may be so. But they know well how to discipline a dirty basketball player, by golly. At Duke, the term"tripping" has a whole new meaning.

Well, in fairness, Chad Kelly while a transfer from Clemson was one of those Army draft-era moves. He could either get out of town or Swinney would draft him out of town. And Swinney didn't wait. He was booted and had no choice. The other side of the coin is Russell Wilson and nobody at NC State...

I am more than a bit surprised since my impression on two viewings was that our offense was not all that efficient and our run game below expectations. So did Kentucky actually defend us that well? Puzzling to me as i have seen the offense run much smoother and efficiently than that, and I...

Makes no never mind where the ref was and whether he did or did not interfere. He is considered the field of play and that is that. Somebody who can't catch a linebacker who stumbles twice on his way to the goal just needs to shut up and play. Of course, that was Stoops MO all day. And all this...

As long as the guy is given his honest chance and the team acted in good faith I don't think most people would object. I know there was a period in the '60s and '70s that some teams -- Alabama was supposedly a top violator -- offered scholarships to their second or third choices just to keep...

Thanks for the synopsis. As I pondered elsewhere, why is it that we never read about Army and Navy foes, even AF, whining about cutblocks, yet here it here repeatedly? It gets old.

And the fact that since Johnson brought it to U of Hawaii and "N" saw a demonstrably inferior Hawaii team -- his description -- run the ball up and down the field against bigger, better teams and commenced to swear by the spread option at that moment. Again, his recounting. And that he has at...

This is just a trolley stop for him. Gets playing time, hopes to prove himself. But probably not.

I wished Lee all the best going forward. But why is he on this list? Because he was here at the same time as Johnson? One thing to have a list of declining values but to suggest he was anything other than a misfiring misfit who had a couple of good games does the others an injustice, i think. He...

Now they are belatedly making that case, based on head to head and on bowl records and coaching hires. Add that to an excellent NFL draft record and it gets tilted toward ACC pretty severely. Who would have thought it?

That must have been one hell of a shank.

I think the play you note was the same play to a different receiver. I don't know and nobody has ever said, but we have seen enough of these wide open receivers, I mean Great Plains open, being ignored, but I think Thomas has been given one receiver as have he previous QBs. It has happened too...

Bear Bryant and Joe Namath in combo always puzzled me until I heard an exchange between a Babe Ruth baseball coach and an old hand HS (a couple of state championships) coach. In which the BR guy raged about one of the kids in the draft and his needing transportation and othere issues and saying...

College coaches these days are making a rush to hire good HS coaches, not just for their recruiting connections in their area which are substantial -- the new guy at Texas hired three; Morris's first hire was a HS coach, and Swinney hired one from the Atlanta area last year -- but because...

True, and per Foxyg post, maybe the real "tell" from this is that it is true that a recruiter can measure skill and athleticism, but he can't measure heart. The "want to" is the mystery guest in every recruit I suppose.

Thanks for compilin that list. What I am gathering from this is that for the most part but not in all cases those who transferred did not advance their football aspirations at all, even at lower classes. Kind of raises questions about our recruiting in the first place but almost certainly says...

Yes. They are stacking 4 and 5-stars two and three deep in some places and so can afford to lose seven defensive starters and go back to the NC game a year later. Great athletes making great plays will beat any scheme any time, I think. Ask OSU, because Meyer got embarrassed even as he sees...

I had forgotten that. And does anyone remember that in the days of Bear Bryant, Broadway Joe was an option QB? The guy Vince Lombardi once described as a "perfect passer", ran the option in college. I think Billy Martin and Ted Davis at DE at him up in the '62 game. Among the things that...
