The lesson here is don't judge based on early information, do not take this as a reason to trust defense attorneys.
I would have paid a lot for that. It was clearly worn a lot, I don't understand how someone's kids or grandkids could have parted with that but I guess someone needed money more than the ring.
They shouldn't use someone with down syndrome in this ad.
He had a great first game for a freshman. It is way too early to declare him a generational talent. TJ Finley by comparison had a better first game starting as a true freshman (against a harder opponent) than Underwood,

I would place a large wager that Underwood will be better than Finley but don't put too much stock in one game. The experts declared Manning the Heisman front runner before last week.
Harold Perkins would have to have a first team All-American season to be in that discussion. Athletically, they are in the same discussion but performance based it is easily Devin White.

Jbraua, not sure if you are a woman but no straight man would ever care enough to post about this on a sports message board.

re: WR dominated CB today in 1 on 1

WR are supposed to win in 1 on 1, even when there is a pass rush.

What? Outside of week 2 on the road to open at Texas. Point to the game we need the offense to win in a shootout fashion?

Week 1 55-3 win
Week 3 65-14 win
Week 4 66-38 win
Week 5 42-6 win
Week 6 42-24 win
Week 7 36-13 win


Remove the cupcakes and the defense was not good until late in the season.

First 10 games had 3 cupcakes (Georgia Southern, Northwestern St, Utah Stage). In the other seven games, four teams put up at least 37 points (Texas, Alabama, Vandy, Ole Miss) where Burrow had to lead LSU to 40+ to win. Only one of the other seven was held under 20 (MS State). Auburn and Florida were close late, although the defense played well against Auburn.

In the first 7 non-cupcake games, the defense played well in two of them (MS State and Auburn). The only true shootouts would be Texas and Bama but Burrow had to play later in several games than he should have.


The last five games included three top 5 ranked teams and none of them scored over 28. Two of them were held to 10 or less (TAMU and UGA). The defense played really well in all of the last five games.

I think he will crush the career TD record. Over 80


As much as I would love to see Nuss completely light it up, I hope our defense is good enough that we can run the ball in the ball in the 4th and let backup QB's get PT. That 2019 defense was bad the first 2/3 of the season, Burrow had to win a lot of shootouts. 2023 defense was terrible the entire year, Daniels has to perform constantly.

If Weeks and Perkins stay healthy and play to their abilities then this group is already a strength regardless of who else starts.

That $200k bonus will probably be a 6 year contract with less than $40k salary per year while in the minors. His NIL potential at LSU next year could be significant, legit endorsements (not just the typical paying players NIL). I've also heard from former players that college baseball is way more fun than the minors. Riding buses, tiny crowds, getting traded, etc.

I'm not saying he should or will stay but I don't think its obvious he should go either.

It's hard to read those stats and not question why he wasn't used more. It would be awesome to have another reliable arm like this in the bullpen.

He is a good college pitcher that scouts probably won't project well in pro ball. I could be wrong but in my speculation, he will do better getting NIL and more education to use after baseball.
LSU and Wake were both outstanding in 2023, both teams along with a really good Tennessee team were all in the same bracket. Then... we had to come through the loser's bracket and play the championship without Skeenes.
Why don't they make it best two out of three for their championship?
I was checking their roster/stats
LINK

By classification, this is the most experienced team I have ever seen. If I sort by number of at bats, top 11 are all seniors. Sort by innings pitched, top 5 are 4 seniors and 1 junior

Roster breakdown:
24 fielders - 15 seniors, 8 juniors, 1 sophomore, 0 freshmen
15 Pitchers - 5 seniors, 10 juniors, 0 sophomores, 0 freshmen
quote:

A lot of people think defensive back positions are interchangeable.
A lot of DB's cannot play either position but we regularly have guys that can. Tyrann Mathieu is an extreme example, All-American Heisman finalist at CB, first team All-Pro as a safety. TM7 was a generational talent but regularly we have a guy that could be contributing more by changing positions.

No they didnt. They’re including sponsors/NIL deals in that total - Arch Manning, for example


While UT isn't "spending" all that money, I think its fair to say "UT + UT boosters" are spending that much money. If you want to compare how much money a team/coach has access to, in my opinion you have to consider booster money as well.
