I may have missed this and if so I'm sorry to bring it up again but does anyone have the QB numbers from the second scrimage? Everything I have read said both quarterbacks performed well but I am curious to know the percentages. I know the University doesn't put out those numbers but I'm also pretty sure some of the "insiders" have a good idea on what they are.
Thanks in advance for any info.
I haven't seen any detailed stats on this board or BamaOnLine. Posted in another thread:

... This is what my insider has been saying since the spring.
He said Jalen certainly played better in scrimmage 2, but the deep balls were to wide open guys that ultimately still had to wait on the ball. They weren't perfect dimes.
He emphasized the stat line for both scrimmages:
Tua - 7 TDs 0 INTs
Jalen - 2 TDs 3 INTs

LINK ]Behind the Scenes: Diabate's headed for The Swamp (Rivals)
quote:
Mohamoud Diabate was wanted [true] by Auburn, a school just a few miles from his home.
Alabama has been pushing [not true] for the 6-foot-4, 220 pound edge rusher to be part of their 2019 class too.
Neither in-state school won out though. LSU and Texas A&M missed too.
Florida is the winner in the Diabate commitment sweepstakes and the Gators have had the lead for longer than many may think.
BEHIND THE SCENES
"Not many knew, but Florida has been on top for me since the first time I visited in March," said Diabate. "Other schools have been trying to catch up with them, but none did. Since I was there in March, in my mind, Florida was in the lead.
"I really felt I could go there when I first visited. It came down to how I feel when I am down there and how their coaches have made me feel wanted. I wanted to go where I was wanted and also needed, so Florida is the perfect fit for that.
"Before I visited Florida, I visited LSU and Florida State. After that, I visited Virginia and by that time, I had already visited Alabama and Auburn, so when I was at Florida, it was just a different feeling. I had not felt that where anywhere else.
"I don't even know how to describe it. I just felt at home. I just felt it was the right place for me. I had that feeling and my parents even looked at me on the visit and knew I was feeling differently about Florida. They saw it on my face. I was there for one day and I knew it.

"You could say Auburn and LSU were my next two schools, but there really wasn't a No. 2 or anything like that. I just know Florida is No. 1.
"It really wasn't a hard decision for me. I have kind of known for a while. I really felt it that first visit months ago. I fit perfectly there. Their defensive scheme is now a 3-4 under coach Dan Mullen, so I fit into that and their coaches have made me feel like I fit in with them.
"They have a need for someone like me at that new outside linebacker position in their defense and I believe in their coaches. I feel they can get me there, make me better and turn me into a great player in their scheme.
"I participated in the camp at Friday Night Lights just to work with the coaches and it went great. I got to work with them, they pushed me hard and I have been impressed with all of that.
"The coach I am closest to is Sal Sunseri and he is great. He has coached in the NFL, he has coached at various top program and I just feel with his knowledge, he can do a great job with me and the overall defensive line at Florida.
"I probably could have committed to Florida a lot earlier. My parents knew how I felt. The way I talked about Florida and reacted to the visit there was just different. I took my time, I took more visits and all that, but I am a Gator.
"My prayers came true, my dreams are coming true and I feel great. I take this with humility because I know I am not done yet. I still have a lot of work to do. I know I can a lot better.
"I am all in with Florida now. I told the coaches that I want to see what other players I can get to join us. I feel this is the final decision for me."
Note: Bama likes Diabate a lot, but others are ahead of him on their board, so they haven't pushed for him. Florida got a good one. Best wishes to him.

Just watched Ty Robinson's highlight video. Want BADLY. Awesome length, size, and first step. Similar player to Leal, IMO.
Here in the Phoenix area, most consider Robinson a lock to Nebraska. His family is from Nebraska and he grew up a die hard Husker.

LINK ]SEC Commitments: Five who could flip (Rivals)
Note: I doubt Bama's staff worries about him flipping. Due in part to his injury history, they might even prefer to take Noah Pola-Gates or Milton Wright, among others.
quote:
Brandon Turnage has been committed to Alabama since December and he has visited Tuscaloosa three times this summer, but how solid is he?
He definitely says all the right things, but he also has visited Mississippi State and Ole Miss this summer.
A few other SEC schools have been mentioned by him, but it is the in-state schools that could potentially worry the Crimson Tide.
An interesting part of his recruitment; he's already said he doesn’t plan to sign until National Signing Day in February. That gives schools a little extra time.

I like Bryan Bulaga a lot but the knock on him out of school was he had short arms. 
What did you see coach? I think the Packers have had a good one when he is healthy. Hopefully he is doing well.

For those in the know, how much do these scrimmages take away Jalen's legs? Meaning, like at "A-Day" you one finger the QB and he's down. No doubt Tua has the better arm and the better downfield vision but how does his ability to run or "extend plays" compare to Jalen?

That's impossible to truly say.
Jalen may be able to extend plays with his legs, but the need to extend those plays may only be there because he missed seeing an open receiver that Tua would have seen.
Just looking at the UGA game, I would give the edge to Jalen, but not by much.

Harry Miller
Harry Miller

The Ohio State University president Michael V. Drake has made his decision regarding the future of head football coach Urban Meyer following a meeting of the school’s Board of Trustees. In a press conference Wednesday night, the representatives of the University announced that Meyer has been suspended for the first three games of the Buckeyes' 2018 season, but is retained as head coach.
Here's how several top 2019 prospects, including some committed to Ohio State, are reacting to the news.
Posted on 8/23/18 at 3:04 pm to TidalSurge1
quote:
Harry Miller, 2019 OSU commit: "Coach Meyer is still there and that's great. This has been a stressful time for everybody so it brings a lot of ease for it to be put away. I am still strong to Ohio State.”
Dwan Mathis, 2019 OSU commit: "I'm happy honestly. (Meyer's) a great person as well as a coach."
Cormontae Hamilton, 2019 OSU commit: "I'm glad for coach Meyer that he isn't off the team and still able to coach for the Buckeyes. No, it will not affect my commitment."
Darvon Hubbard, 2020 OSU commit: "Honestly I knew we would be fine the entire time I was just letting it play out."
Steele Chambers, 2019 OSU commit: “I just got a call from Ohio State a few minutes ago. I am still good with Ohio State. It’s a huge weight off of my shoulders knowing he will only be out for a short time. They will be just fine.”
Rakim Jarrett, 2020 OSU target: "The trust has to come back between me and coach Meyer after he comes back for me to seriously consider Ohio State."
David Bell, 2019 OSU target: "That's good for him. The situation as a whole is a sad one, but I'm glad he is still the head coach."
Mehkail Sherman, 2020 OSU target: "There are no changed feelings between me and Ohio State right now."
Richie Bresee, father of 2020 5-star DL Bryan Bresee, "We're still considering Ohio State and are tracking the findings as the story continues to unfold."
Luke Wypler, 2020 OSU committ: "I have no comment on the matter only that I'm 1000% still committed to Ohio St."

Expected. For the most part I had a feeling this would really not cause a backlash in regards to tOSU recruiting.

That's true, but UAgrad93 was pretty clear that they played one hand touch on the qb, and it would definitely affect Jalen more than Tua.

Disagree. I think tua has equal level escapability

Is there any good reason to post Tua vs Jalen discussion in this thread?
a) No.
b) Nope.
c) There isn't.
d) All of the above.

Does anyone know what kind of footballs they are using in the scrimmages?
In the National Title Game I believe they only used left-handed ones.
Sorry Surge.
Back to recruiting talk. Here’s a pick to help hopefully continue with the Hawaii pipeline:
