It was a great tackle, but the receiver fell down and it would have been an easy throw. Still and all, big open field hit.

I was happy to see Cletus #1 (Dabo) go down. I was hoping Cletus #2 (Kirby) would join him in defeat, but alas, one can't have everything in life.

Sports Book Wire is predicting a 23-18 Cal win The Golden Bears are underdogs, but by less than a field goal. Yes, the are underdogs, but they are also home underdogs. I don't know how much home-field factors into spreads anymore (three points used to be the rule of thumb). Giving California...

I did check his posted weight for his junior year at Michigan in 2023 and he was listed at 202. Obviously weight matters to scouts and although he was much bigger than Bryce Young he probably wanted to dispel any doubts. I just remember him as being a bit of a whippet at Michigan although at...

That's surprising. He looks like he's gotten much bigger.

I stand corrected on the speed. But McCarthy was pretty spindly coming out of college and I did wonder if he could stand up to the beating he was likely to take. He has to have put on 10-15 pounds of muscle since going pro. What truly separates him--at least to me--in that class is his feel...

I was comparing him to someone more physically gifted like Caleb Williams. McCarthy certainly clears the bar of needed athleticism to succeed as a QB at the pro level. He has clearly muscled up some from his time at Michigan, but it hasn't affected his throwing. The bullet to Jefferson was a...

McCarthy looked shaky at the start and the OL wasn't doing him any favors. The pick-6 was on a ball he should have just thrown out of the end zone, I think I recall Joe Mauer doing the same thing in the state championship game when he was QB at CDH (I may be off base on that). You just don't...

Johnson caught 2 passes for 31 yards and had an illegal motion penalty. Jets elevated him from the practice squad yesterday and signed him to the 53-man roster after the game. Fields did look good yesterday. He seems to have cleaned up some of his throwing mechanics. The guy is talented and...

It's always difficult for me to assess USC, but the bits and pieces I saw on Saturday showed them to once again be very athletic and then I have to remember this is football and not a track meet. Gophers shouldn't apologize for scheduling NW Louisiana State because according to Sport Reference...

Terrible call by the refs, who also, by the way, missed the blatant interference by the CSU DB.

Not really a classic clothesline because he didn't get his arm up right on the returner's neck. Still a fun play.

Hard to tell given the level of competition (and the fact I didn't see the second half so I missed Washington), but I really liked what I saw from Ijeboi. Ijeboi looks like a downhill runner who should be tough inside the tackles. Good burst. On a side note, I liked the fact that all the RBs...

As others have written, the scheduler takes home the imaginery MVP trophy.

Really difficult to tell from the level of competition, but Ijehoi looked good. Didn't see the second half, but looking at the box score it was good to see how many guys got into the game.
