Other Games - Nov. 20th-21st

[Medford M.]

UCLA looked alright before that fumble. Gonna get raced now.

Also...why did Cao have any hype going in to this year? Too much valuing the coach and ignoring the lack of talent.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

FSU just didn’t want to play Clemson today. So stupid.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

The Northwestern fumble down near the goal line ended up being a 14-poiint swing

 

[CarolinaBuff]

UCLA with the scoop and score. Tie game

 

[BuffLuke80]

So much for Indiana being a bull**** team. They played well and were in that game. They have talent on that team too.

Eh. I think them being in the game had a lot more to do with Fields being off than IU being great.

Maybe, but they don't suck. Blowhio State's secondary isn't good, and people will look at that.

Shaun Wade should have stayed opted out. Would have been a sure fire top 5 pick. Hasn’t been great so far and stock probably falling

Was thinking the same thing. Getting burned quite a bit this year.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Chase Griffin looking good. Just looked him up and he was recruited by 5 Ivy League schools and had no other P5 offers

 

[Medford M.]

NM...double post

 

[Medford M.]

Mertz needs to work on his touch

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Mertz needs to work on his touch

I was going to comment earlier that Mertz was low key top 5 QB in the country already, but he’s been very shaky today

 

[Trufflesauce]

I can't tell if Oregon just isn't very good or UCLA is playing uncharacteristically well

He's clearly got Talent, and the Wiscy system, in the past, has always been run heavy and disguised a lot of QBs over the years, but Mertz is definitely a step above the last decade or so of Wiscy QBs

Oregon's QB is very average.

 

[Medford M.]

Great throw by Ramsey. That's a catch in the league.

 

[Trufflesauce]

Oregon's QB is very average.

He has the highest QBR in the Pac-12 https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr?group=9

I do think UCLA's backup run Chip's offense better than DTR though

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Great throw by Ramsey. That's a catch in the league.

Great throw and even better catch

 

[Uncle Ken]

Pick six to end the half. Man, we get down on our coaches when they don't get aggressive at the end of the half, but there is some risk...

 

[SilvrGldBuff]

Hail Mary by UCLA before the half really backfired

 

[White_Rabbit]

UCLOLA

 

[CarolinaBuff]

What a huge play by Oregon going into the half. Worst thing that could've happened to UCLA on the last play

 

[Trufflesauce]

Yeah I think there is a way to split the difference where you throw a short slant or something that's not a run up the gut 3 times in a row

 

[Kuratz]

That is 100% on the players. Asinine decision to throw a Hail Mary as a defender in your face and then the guys running to catch the intercepter didn’t go all out to stop him.

 

[HuskerHater]

I look forward to the PAC 12 podcasts this week discussing whether Oregon is a good team or just took advantage of a short field after UCLA first half turnovers.

 

[Trufflesauce]

Oregon looks like they'll be very beatable when we play them in the Pac-12 championship

 

[patebuff]

Buffs and USC are the best teams in the Pac 12

 

[Uncle Ken]

Buffs and USC are the best teams in the Pac 12

We'll know a lot more about Utah soon.

I'm wondering if we're seeing the power in the conference move to the South.

You can have a high QBR if you're making relatively easy throws. He's far from an NFL prospect.
