I think Chambliss is going to have the same issues as DJ Lagway had. A young relatively inexperienced QB is going up against a defense that disguises their coverages extremely well. I expect at least a couple interceptions.

Can we please please rest the starters now

...Except the Oline... And they need to fine a mix that works.

Nuss: 19 attempts, 14 completions (73.7%) for 136 yards (7.2 ypp) with 1 TD.

The biggest issue is the Oline, but we could see a lot of improvement there as they gel and get accustomed to working together. If the Oline starts playing well (And Nuss starts hitting deep balls like he did two years ago), this team is going to be really hard to beat.

We can hope... :geauxtigers:

He wasn't ineligible until Clemson brought it up for review and they suspended him. If Clemson hadn't brought it up, he would have been eligible.

Apparently there is a reason Rhinos are going extinct. They aren't too bright.

The only issue with special teams was the players trying to down punts didn't do very well. Should be correctable.

BK does as good a job as any out there with having the team healthy before the season opener.

Are they actually doing some live tackling drills? I'm a bit concerned that we avoid that to prevent injuries, and then can't tackle opening week.

I would think this probably isn’t going to play well going forward with the NCAA or the umpiring crews.

how so? you're advocating for banging your spoon on your high chair to be tolerated with no limit and no consequence?

No, he's saying that the NCAA and umps are going to have much less tolerance for CC's shenanigans.

The content of this thread is not what I was expecting.

I was expecting more of this...

I seems clear that the only way forward to clean up all the issues with transfers and NIL is to have a collective bargaining agreement, and for that to happen, the players will have to be considered employees rather than students. At that point, I'm not sure it's even going to matter if they are attending classes or not. Hell, they might not have to even be students. It would certainly give them more time to focus on football, which is probably what most want anyway. It could just get crazy.

On the other hand, they might just stop having football scholarships at that point, which would finally open up scholarships for some other sports that are still essentially amateur. Football eats up so many scholarships that we can even give them to everyone on the baseball team. Then again, we might just find that universities just cut scholarships way back to save money.

So really, who knows where we'll end. But some significant changes are surely coming.
