Oh I agree, the pitch is dum when you could literally take a knee and probably end the game. I was saying if you're going to toss it, then a toss to the outside is at least away from the entire defense and you would have a better chance at jumping on the fumble.
Agree completely. “Vertical” pitch is always dumb in my opinion. Why throw it at a guy running at you? As you say.... Pitch to get outside the tackles, OK.
I'm afraid the disparity is only going to get worse. College football is changing faster than people realize. I just hope that it is recognizable in 5 years
Although it is early, ACC has 2nd most ranked teams of P5 conferences. FSU may be ranked too eventually. NCSU and PITT will have to clean some stuff up if they want to stay ranked.
I agree. After watching 2 games, I think FSU's defense is going to cause our O all sorts of troubles. Their front 4 have the potential to do very similar things to what Clemson's DL did.
I was a little surprised they didn't get into the Top 25 this week but if they take care of business the next couple of weeks they should get there.
I know we are mostly joking here but I notice it's common to compare ourselves to uga and clemson regarding finances, talent, etc.. and then somehow extrapolate that out to our entire schedule. Seem to me us being 'competitive' would mean competing with upper middle tier ACC teams like UNC, VT, UVA, Pitt, NC State.
Agree. Of course with a new OC, Clemson will have some growing pains but I could see them easily winning 10+ games. Same with FSU.
I'll wait until they play, but my eyes tell me that CU is far superior to LSU.
Folks who think this way are just following what the media is feeding you. And you are eating it up. The disparity has been here for decades. And no, college football is not changing. It’s still certain teams buying the better players and players still transferring (see Herschel form 1980 as being bought and for reference Choice transferring to GT in 2005).
The disparity that I was referring to is between the elite teams and the next teir down. To a certain degree, it has always existed as you alluded to, but we are seeing it concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. The number of teams that can win a national title in a given year are 4-5 teams. In the past, that number has typically flucuated in the 6-11 team range, especially in the BCS era where one slip up could result in one of those teams falling out of title contention allowing others to step into the void.
I think F$U will devolve into a dumpster fire by the end of the season
Sounds like we agree. I just can’t believe so many smart fans believe all the garbage the media puts out there about how bad NIL and the transfer rules are. They aren’t bad at all. I love the concept of NIL because it now opens up the door to pay players to every school and not just those who were protected by the NCAA. GT can now go out and legally buy a player without worry of getting placed on probation. Bama and UGA have been able to do that for decades so NIL takes away the disparity of treatment by the NCAA which in my view is the greatest crime of the 20th century. You will absolutely see schools emerge in the future who are willing to pay and will enter the top tier that no one would expect. Obviously, GT won’t be one since it’s clear our admin doesn’t care enough to twist arms and make it happen. But I can see several deep money schools deciding to try it out. If Jackson State can buy the top player from high school imagine what real money could buy. I’m not naming any schools but there are a lot of rich folks out there.
