The OFFICIAL 2015 College Football RANDOM thoughts thread

[Rigby.]

To contribute this year. I don't think people should think he should start really at any point this year. We have Junior, Senior, and Sophmore linemen in the rotation too. He is good enough at this point to get into the rotation. That's not too easy with the line that we have right now. He is one of the top players coming out of High School though, so it just shows where he's at.

In a 3-4, if this includes the Buck, I could see Lambert and Cowart at DE, Russell at DT (as of now), Frost, McKinzy, and Williams making up 3 of those 4 and Lawson being that last LB who could also be an edge rusher on Cowart's side.

In a 4-3, that'd obviously be different, but with the extreme build of Cowart, he could at least be an inside threat with Lawson at DE.

That multiple fronts Muschamp runs makes it hard to predict how much time he'll actually get, because who knows what is the best formation to usually run with? Our DEs are deeper than our DTs, but an usual 4-3 formation makes it less buck and more DE


I'm talking out my ass quite a bit

A freshmen for the Ducks to watch out for. True freshmen Canton Kaumatule. Dude is 6'7 295 plays all along the line. Was a absolute beast in the spring game. He will be starting by week 3.

 

[Rigby.]

I'm trying to predict our defense as of game 1

Buck: Lawson
DT: Russell
DT: Adams
DE: Lambert
LB: Williams
LB: Frost
LB: McKinzy
CB: Jones
S: Matthews
S: Ford
CB: Countess

I peeped a preseason depth chart, 4-3 could feature the Buck on the outside of the NT. Great.

I forgot about Josh Sweat. Wasn't he the one who blew his knees out during his senior year?

Yup. Basically Lattimore'd his knee last year.

Today

Cowart will play a lot as a freshmen. I remember Fowler and Johnathan Bullard playing on the inside and outside from Day one in 2012.

D:
S Derwin James
CB Tavarus Mcfadden
DE Josh Sweat(would have started if had not blown his knee to smitherings)

O:
If a freshman does come along it's usually mid-season.
RB Jacques Patrick
WR George Campbell
WR Auden Tate

You don't think Harrison gonna do shyt this year? I at least wanna see what he can bring. I still say Saunders gonna be that dude if they get him the ball.

He was asking about Freshmen. I really hope Harrison take over the PR duties. He was a beast at PR in HS.
Unless he got a good grasp of the playbook, route tree, etc. I won't expect much from him on O.

I will be disappointed if Baylor doesn't three-peat the Big 12 and get into the College Football Playoff.

I have a gut feeling that Texas is going to be a 9 - 10 win team this season. I think completion is going the pick up in the 12.

What freshman from ur teams should we lookout for? For us Arden Keys has been getting some high praise, Kevin Tolliver is competing with Ed Paris for that 2nd Corner spot. Derrius Guice I think has star potential and should get some carries. And I'm hoping Donte Jackson does kick returns. Supposedly he runs a 4.2

Tennessee is gonna be dependant on true freshmen once again.

On defense, DTs Kahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle will be counted on to play immediately, possibly even start day 1. First day in pads was yesterday and they dominated a couple of redshirt senior OL in one on one drills (which considering how badly the OL performed last year may not be saying much....but still its nice to see they are at least dominating them in the same fashion opposing teams dominated them). MLB is an open competition with the departure of AJ Johnson. Freshmen LBs Austin Smith and Darrin Kirkland Jr. are battling for that spot. I got my money on Austin Smith. Relative to his star rating (only a 3 star recruit), he's been the talk of camp so far. Butch Jones praised his athleticism after the first day of practice and he looks like he'll be an immediate contributor.

On offense, we're actually more set. Unlikely there will be significant contributions from true freshmen. Its possible that one of the freshmen can end up starting on the offensive line. The guys with the best chance at tackles Chance Hall and Drew Richmond. Both have drawn praise so far.

The most impactful newcomers on Tennessee this year will most likely be the 2 highly rated JUCO transfers. RB Alvin Kamara is already pegged as 1b to Jalen Hurd's 1a in the RB rotation. He's been the star of camp since spring practice. CB Justin Martin (who is only a true sophomore) has also drawn alot of praise. He's probably the most athletic player on the team already. 6'3" with crazy longarms and 4.3 speed. The hope is that he'll be good enough to lock up one of the starting corner spots so we can move All-SEC corner Cam Sutton to the nickle. Given the amount of spread teams are running, nickle is becoming more and more the base defense around college football. And having a great nickle corner can make a huge difference.

Still puzzled the conf didn't get a chip game, after that one true champion bullshyt last year, i hope the Big 12 get left out every year until they get a chip game. That being said i got TCU making the playoffs this year.
