  1. Visiting tomorrow, per On3 https://247sports.com/player/rocky-cummings-46155040/
  2. Toughest non-conference game he's played in 6 seasons at Ole Miss is against Tulane. 20-0 out of conference
  3. Great coordinators don’t require specific position coaches in order to succeed. It is your job to coordinate the defense. You are being paid $2 million. Front 7, back end, blitz packages, everything. It’s ridiculous PK has coached football for almost 40 years yet apparently needs some special voice in the secondary in order to properly function.
  4. Well now I’m not sure I want that to be my opinion
  5. Thinking out loud here, but I wonder if we are going to see more programs doing a 'stars and scrubs' like recruiting approach when building out their HS classes. For example, I see Alabama has 23 total commits and 9 players ranked inside the top 100. They also have 10 3-stars. That is over 80% of their class. Texas has 18 commits, excluding specialists. 6 players in the top 60 and 5 3-stars. That represents a good chunk of the class. There might be value in devoting almost all your resources towards the top-end of the class and filling out the rest with more developmental guys who won't command much NIL vs trying to navigate the mid/low 4-star range, where guys are likely to command more money but also likely to require some of the same development time as a 3-star would.
  6. He is a college kicker at the P4 level. He should be putting the ball through the uprights at a 75+% clip on pretty much anything under 50 yards. You shouldn't need a vote of confidence from your coach to do that. Trying to blame that on anyone other than himself is just excuse-making.
  7. Or was he continually going for it on 4th down because his kicker wasn't good? 6-14 from 40+ yards....I'd be going for it more too. Did Mario Cristobal also mindfuck him? Is that why Auburn went to Miami and then lost the kicking battle to a FAU transfer that went 2 for 7 in 2024?
  8. Leading freshman receiver this year: Ohio State- Quincy Porter (3 catches) Bama- Lotzeir Brooks (20 catches) Auburn- 0 catches from freshmen receivers USC- DJ Jordan (5 catches) Georgia- Sacovie White-Helton (6 catches) A&M- Ashton Bethel-Roman (12 catches) Should I keep going? Yes, if you have Jeremiah Smith or Dakorien Moore, they will play a lot. I wouldn't consider Kaliq Lockett or Jaime Ffrench either of those guys.
  9. How many top 10 wins did James Franklin have? Because in the last month, we have had 2, and that feels pretty close to the mark he had over his 12 years at Penn State.
  10. Moore, Livingstone, and Wingo (to an extent) all waited their turn and are now starting and having good years. Livingstone redshirted and Moore did not record a single catch his freshman year. Novel concept.
  11. This probably sounded better in your head than on the keyboard. Xavier Worthy and Ryan Wingo own 2 of the top 6 seasons in Texas history for receiving yards by a true freshman. We had 3 NFL draft picks in the room in 2023 and still threw Johntay Cook multiple bones. Those who prove they are ready to play have played. I'll buy the argument that it may not have been the best use of funds to pay for 3 expensive freshman receivers (if you include Michael Terry in that group). I won't buy the argument that they should be playing over anyone who is currently seeing the field, including the lowest-ranked guy in the group, McCutcheon, who was playing in the season opener against Ohio State.
  12. Schools seem much better equipped to play defense nowadays than they were a few years ago, even those that are navigating the waters without a coach. Doesn't mean a few guys won't shake loose, but it doesn't seem to be the avalanche you would expect when LSU, Florida and Auburn are all open at the same time. It seems that whoever gets those jobs is essentially going to be handed a list on the first day from the collective, stating that these are the important individuals (recruits and current roster) we are taking care of; let's make sure they are good to go.
  13. 4/5ths of Ohio State's OL are homegrown guys. They took 2 in the portal last year. One is starting at RT, and the other was the dude from Rice who seems to be a bust.
