re: Ty is average

OU has a good defense. I think Ty’s a very good QB, but we probably got over our skis with the Heisman/top draft pick talk

Sankey should reach out and see if these schools want to agree now to join the SEC at the end of the B1G’s current GOR.
That would completely tank the value of the B1G’s media rights.
Sign some Big XII and ACC schools to become SEC DII and some Sun Belt and American schools SEC DIII, and the SEC has an effective monopoly on CFB. Leave the remainder of the B1G out in the cold with this private equity nonsense.

Ohio state and Texas A&M stick out to me because they have multiple ways to attack offensively and both are really effective running the ball. Both are great defensively and more effective on that side of the ball than we are.
A&M gave up 42 to Arkansas, 40 to ND, and even 25 to LSU. They do not have a great defense. I actually think they have a worse defense than us, but much more balanced offense.
Ohio State has played one good team in week 1. In that game they were out gained by over 100 yards. They’re probably a good team, but we don’t know yet.
It’s fine to say you think we are worse than those teams, but to say we aren’t a contender is a ridiculous comment.

Who is the team that sticks out as a true contender to you?
Texas A&M? Ohio State? Each will only have 1 win against a team ranked in the next poll.
We have a flawed team because we can’t run, but when Simpson is on, we can beat anyone this season.
I think the defense at this point is playing well all around.

Indiana another paper tiger this year ? Tied with the pedos 7-7 close to halftime
Penn State still has elite talent. I don’t buy Indiana as a very serious national title contender, but I don’t think struggling with Penn State is as bad as the record would suggest.
The difference between the SEC and the B1G is that even the teams having bad years like Florida and LSU still have good athletes, so they will still compete especially if they are at home. That’s basically what Penn State is this year.

If you’re running a give up play, probably not best to run the QB

Yeah, I don't understand why you can't make your own multiview.
My understanding is it costs more by stream they provide even if that stream is just a combo of other streams, so it’s just typical Disney being cheap.
Ridiculous not to have a single quad option.

Trying the ESPN app on a family members login today. Already notice significant weaknesses vs YouTubeTV.
Far fewer multiview options, doesn’t group the sports on recommended so slower to find games, slower load times

There’s something ironic about UCF-Houston being at the same time as Tulane-Memphis in that those two programs leaving the American is a large part of why the Tulane-Memphis game has playoff implications.

A lot of times former star players are not good coaches. I don’t hate the idea of bringing in a consultant for position groups, but ultimately if you don’t trust the coach of the unit, should he really be the position coach?
I feel like defensive line play has gotten better as the season has gone on.

The 05-07 LSU teams were loaded, coaching just wasn't the best.
‘05 LSU wasn’t beating Texas or USC even with Saban.
‘06 LSU only lost on the road to top 10 Auburn and @ eventual National Champion Florida. I don’t think Saban wins either of those games.
‘07 LSU won the national title with Miles.
In terms of national titles, I don’t think LSU’s results are any different those 3 years with Saban.
Saban was recruiting a top 10 to top 5 level by the end of his time at LSU, but he didn’t start pulling number 1 overall classes until he came to Alabama.
I also think there is revisionist history about Miles being a terrible coach. He had some terrible clock management moments, but I didn’t think his teams looked poorly coached until he failed to adapt to the spread, RPO and targeting rules changing the game in the mid 2010s.

People forget how historically rich Alabama football was before probation.
People are desperate to pretend like Alabama is a terrible program outside of Saban and Bryant. They like to act that the 3 Mikes era is the norm, when in reality, it was an anomaly that only lasted a decade and was largely caused by sanctions.
re: Alex Golesh from USF, any thoughts on him?
Posted by TomRollTideRitter on 10/27/25 at 3:30 pm to 308
I think he’s a good coach. He’s done a great job at USF. People forget how bad that program had gotten before he arrived.
That said, I would have some hesitation about that Briles offense’s ability to win championships. It seems like it tops out at major bowls, but it hasn’t been tried at a program as good as LSU.

I mean Franklin and Kelly are the two main ones driving this and both have mitigation clauses that will bring their buy outs down
Those guys do have the most obscene number, but at least the ADs had some reason to give them that.
Franklin had good success at Penn State and received some legit interest from USC and other big programs. LSU had to pay a lot to get Kelly from another major program.
The ones that stick out to me are Napier, Pittman, Foster. Did Florida really need to give Napier that to get him from the Sun Belt? Arkansas and UCLA could’ve had Pittman and Foster on $0 buyouts, and they would’ve stuck around.

Auburn’s gonna do this again this year firing Freeze who is building a good team but has just missed on the portal QBs. They’d be better off keeping Freeze and spending some of that buyout money on a legit portal QB instead of these guys everyone already knows can’t play - Thorne and Arnold.

F or F: Alabama will lose at least one more game if the running offense remains ineffective.
All season or just regular season? If regular season, I go fiction. All season, fact. This is not a championship team if we cannot run at all.
quote:
F or F: The WR drops are mostly a symptom of bad ball placement and too much velocity.
Fiction. Has this even been a problem outside of Williams until today? Williams has poor technique catching the ball. He leaves his feet too often and often tries to catch with his chest.
quote:
F or F: The secondary has actually been a weakness this year instead of the strength it was supposed to be.
Fiction. We’re top 10 in opponents pass yards per game.
quote:
F or F: Daniel Hill is the best RB we have right now.
Fact, except he is much worse than Jam in pass pro, so Miller still needs to play a lot.
quote:
F or F: Cole Adams should play over Rico Scott
Fact, but neither should play much when 5, 2, 1, and 17 are all healthy. I’d throw 30 in the mix too if he is fully recovered from that bad concussion.
