ESPN's Rece Davis, on ESPNU radio Monday, mentioned Arizona/Sumlin/Khalil Tate as his most disappointing development in college football through two weeks ... at least until he was reminded about Florida State's struggles.

On Tuesday morning, during the Full Ride show on ESPNU's SiriusXM channel, hosts Chris Childers and Rick Neuheisel talked about Sumlin during their Coaches Stock Report segment -- and it wasn't because Sumlin's stock was going up.

Said Childers: "That team looks lost, it looks bewildered ... they looked a hell of lot better with RichRod than they do with Kevin Sumlin."

Danielson transitioned into talking about Sumlin's tenure at A&M.

"This is always tough. You know, Kevin Sumlin is a friend," Danielson said.

"But I never thought they were well-prepared. I just have to be honest. I thought they were playing flaky football. I thought their fundamentals had deteriorated. They never balanced their offense with their defense. And anybody knows, in this league (SEC), you have to have a defense that travels. You have to build your offense to protect your defense. And I thought the way they were playing was never going to work."

Last week, ESPN's David Pollack gushed about the intensity of practices at A&M under Fisher as compared to under Sumlin.
