TBH, most of Brock Glen’s resume is being forced into starting against Louisville in the ACC CG last season and against UGAg with a half a squad in the Orange Bowl.Pretty sure those boosters have seen how bad ugaleilei is and would rather be winning that having "their guy" start. Also isn't Brock Glenn their #2 QB? For his career he is 19/51 for a 37% completion percentage, with 0 TD, 2 INT and a QBR of 16.1. They signed a 4 star QB out of Savannah last year, but he is 3rd on the depth chart. That is all of their scholarship QBs - the other 3 they have signed since 2020 transferred out. They have a single 3 star QB committed for next year.
Yes, yes, yes! Stupid move by Stoops, IYAM.Absolutely. Every coach should know this: Do not, under any circumstances, even if it's fourth and forever, punt the ball to Ugag late in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. Just don't do it.
I've seen that movie play out time and time again, and it never ends well. 4th and 8 was makeable. Their chance to win the game ended when they sent the punt team on the field.
There was zero chance of making 4th and 8...their O line had collapsed and blitz was killing them ...no time to passYes, yes, yes! Stupid move by Stoops, IYAM.
Well said! We gotta good football team that had a tough road loss. I’m liking what I see from the Jackets.How our upcoming opponents fared on Saturday:
Forecast Summary:
- Louisville: DNP. Has only played 2 cupcakes.
- Duke: Required 4th-qtr rally to escape home upset by one of the worst teams in FBS (UConn).
- UNC: Held only a one-score lead over their FCS opponent into the fourth quarter, before finally pulling away. 11 penalties didn’t help.
- ND: Looked good in beatdown of Purdue.
- VT: Solid game statistically, winning by 20 against 0-3 Old Dominion. Appeared that O.D. starting QB was out and they had difficulty completing a pass, but still gained 243 on the ground. Not sure if this game was a good test for VT.
- Mia: Absolutely dominated Ball State 62-0. Ward (93.4 QBR) threw for 5 TDs before he was pulled to let backup play.
- NC St: After starter Grayson McCall left with an injury, backup came in and led 2nd-half rally to avoid home upset by Louisiana Tech.
- uga: Looked surprisingly vulnerable in scoring only 13 points to win by 1 over Kentucky. Had some injuries. As has been said, this may have simply been their one game where they didn’t look dominant but still won.
Edit to add latest AP poll changes: uga down 1 to 2nd, Miami up 2 to 8th, ND up 1 to 17, Louisville unranked to 19th. Must be nice to get bumped into the teens without even playing a game.
- Still looking very beatable: Duke, UNC, NC St., probably VT.
- Hard to tell but possibly beatable: Louisville, ND
- Still probable losses: Miami, uga.

Very few really good teams out there that can win on a bad day. Probably 6 realistic championship teams. 8-10 that could sneak in. Then there’s the rest. Trying to be that 12th team.
It could be us if the breaks fall our way. ND, UM, and GA looks beatable at times.Which is honestly the perfect scenario for the first year of the 12 team playoff. It could be quite a fun post-season, speaking broadly as a college football fan. Here’s hoping we’re involved!
Ranked teams with a loss to a higher-ranked team: LSU, Mich, Clemson, TAMU. Nothing strange about that.Good post and this is besides the point, but it is an absolute joke that ND is still #17 after losing to Northern Illinois. They love to rank the logo, not the team.
This is Charmin soft out of Wake Forest IMO. This is just outright admitting you don’t think you can compete at the highest level.
I am a proponent that you stay within what you can control. You don’t give the ball away with 2:00 left and less than a full compliment of timeouts. If you have to rely in your D, then tale your shot and then rely on that D.There was zero chance of making 4th and 8...their O line had collapsed and blitz was killing them ...no time to pass
Yeah, but to pick up their ball and go home is a worse look than losing.Sometimes the truth hurts. Wake cannot compete with Ole Miss now!
If one doesn't throw the ball, but say, runs out of bounds instead, does that count as a candidate for worst Hail Mary? Asking for a fanboy friend....Well that was the worst hail mary I've ever seen, Kentucky
Added some salt....You may not like Clemson (not really, but I don't hate them), Miami (if I have to for conference purposes) or fsu (hell no, I hope they go 0-12), but hold your nose and pull for them. When they are successful, they help our conference.
The look will be forgotten in weeks!Yeah, but to pick up their ball and go home is a worse look than losing.
As will Wake Forest, because they’d rather play a Sun Belt schedule than a real one. It’s why I’m so glad GT doesn’t back down with our OOC scheduling. Winning 8 games with 4 OOC patsies is not impressive. It’s what Wake has done for years, and it’s why nobody respects them as a serious programThe look will be forgotten in weeks!
