Easy.
Best memory, the National Championship game. Best title game since '05 (or '13). OJ showing out again, Onside kick, Drake return. Jake Coker proving me wrong.
Worst memory, Ole Miss game. Cooper Bateman starting. Cooper Bateman not knowing how to run the read option. Five turnovers. Crazy ass tipped TD pass. Refs no-call lineman downfield. Good thing about the loss was that Kiffin never pulled the shyt he pulled in this game ever again.

Man bateman had his heart taken out during that 1st quarter. Nkemdiche probably ate more in that game than any other game in his career. I dont know who yall had blocking, but dude was getting in the backfield without being stopped sometimes. But yeah once that crazy pass happened, I knew OM had the juice.
I wonder if OM completes the three peat this year

Nah but forreal though, I'll just have to wait and see how they look against FSU. They not gonna average 70 points like they did the first two weeks of last year.
I was telling dudes our OL regressed last year but they ain't wanna listen

2013 they got their seasons ended by Alabama and Auburn
2014 Treadwell

I havent noticed their recruiting (pretty sure they were ranked ahead of us by ESPN's trash services last year tho). They sneaked away from getting some actual repercussions with those self imposed sanctions. Dudes can blatantly cheat nowadays but let Auburn get a god tier QB, pass the investigation, and we gotta be paying him still

They didn't get anything for those violations?

"In a 154-page response to the NCAA, Ole Miss announced that it had self-imposed the loss of 11 total scholarships in football over a four-year period from 2015-18, including a reduction of three initial scholarships in each of its next three recruiting classes, which would allow the school to sign a maximum of 22 players in each class.
Ole Miss officials also asked the NCAA to delay the school's hearing with the Committee on Infractions so they can have more time to investigate whetherMiami Dolphins rookie Laremy Tunsil received additional improper benefits while playing for the Rebels."
Seems these sanctions basically were used to sate the hunger of the NCAA while Ole Miss cleans shyt up

A. Just watching Dalvin play when healthy. Such a dynamic cat when the ball is in his hands
B. Watching and listening to fans clamor for SMags sorry ass then cop pleas during the Peach Bowl and still try to shyt on Golson when he didn't travel with the team. Bud Elliot all but confirmed that he's a white supremacist IMO
I mean, he was right the last time he had us winning it all
I haven't saw that. I think both QBs will be at Carolina. We recruiting a lot of DT Qbs for 2016.

mitation is the sincerest form of flattery. With a tip of the cap to NFL writer Bill Barnwell, Insider is adopting his idea to rank the top 25 offensive "triplets" in college football.
We're following a similar format, mandating the selection of a quarterback plus two skill position players. The goal is to identify what we think will be the most impactful and productive trios in the nation. It's a tough task in college football; the sample sizes are smaller, or, in many cases, nonexistent. In the event that we do not know for certain a team's starting quarterback, we went with who we expect to be the starter.
Remember, this has nothing to do with how a team is expected to perform. Rather, think of it as the best offensive three-player units in the nation. As such, some of these selections will come as a surprise.
25. Texas
Shane Buechele, QB, Fr.; Chris Warren III, RB, Soph.;D'Onta Foreman, RB, Jr.
First-year coordinator Sterlin Gilbert does not inherit a bare pantry. He has two gigantic running backs at his disposal: the 6-foot-2, 232-pound Warren and the 6-1, 241-pound Foreman.
Despite the absence of a consistent passing game, Warren and Foreman combined for six 100-plus-yard games in 2015. Buechele is the obvious question mark, as is the case with any projected freshman starting quarterback. But a relatively steady spring hinted that he could be up for the challenge of turning around the woeful unit. Coach Charlie Strong's job depends on it.
24. Arizona State
Brady White, QB, Fr.; Demario Richard, RB, Jr.; Tim White, WR, Sr.
There's no clear-cut favorite to land the QB job, but Brady White, a redshirt freshman, is the highest-rated prospect that Todd Graham's staff has signed at ASU. White was the No. 4-rated pocket passer in the 2015 class.
Richard became the latest Sun Devil back to top 1,000 yards, doing most of his damage in seven 100-plus-yard games. Tim White, a juco product, caught 57 passes (eight touchdowns) in his first season at ASU.
23. Miami
Brad Kaaya, QB, Jr.; Mark Walton, RB, Soph.; Stacy Coley, WR, Sr.
Cerebral and physically gifted, Kaaya is second only to Deshaun Watson on some draft analysts' QB board. Kaaya will excel in Mark Richt and Thomas Brown's offense.
The Hurricanes return a number of skill players with experience, though no one has particularly shined or offered much consistency. (That's part of the reason why Richt now has the job.)
Walton and Coley are among those who have demonstrated the most promise.
22. Texas A&M
Trevor Knight, QB, Sr.; Christian Kirk, WR, Soph.; Ricky Seals-Jones, WR, Jr.
Kirk caught 80 passes for 1,009 yards last season as a freshman despite erratic QB play from the two players who transferred, Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray.
At 6-5 and 235 pounds, Seals-Jones has a frame that NFL teams covet, but they need to see more consistency from the junior who has averaged just over 500 yards the past two seasons.
Knight has had one monster game (Alabama in 2013), and he was one of Oklahoma's leaders a year ago. Now in his second act, he has to show he can play efficiently from week to week.
21. West Virginia
Skyler Howard, QB, Sr.; Rushel Shell, RB, Sr.; Shelton Gibson, WR, Jr.
Howard was up and down in his first year as the full-time starter, but the coaching staff is hopeful that a 532-yard, five-touchdown game in the bowl win against Arizona State will vault him toward a steadier senior season.
It was clear early that Gibson (887 yards, nine TDs in 2015) would be Howard's No. 1 target. The staff is also excited about the arrival of Ka'Raun White, the younger brother of former WVU standout Kevin White. Shell, the Pitt transfer, has been steady. Bank on another 700-800 yards from him as the leader in a carry-share backfield.
20. Alabama
Blake Barnett, QB, Fr.; Bo Scarbrough, RB, Soph.; Calvin Ridley, WR, Soph.
This is likely too low, based on talent alone, but it's difficult to be bullish about the Tide outside Ridley. He's on a fast track toward the Biletnikoff Award after a 1,000-yard season as a freshman.
It'll be Alabama's third straight season with a first-time starter at QB, regardless if it's Barnett or Cooper Bateman or David Cornwell. With two playoff trips, including a national title run, the uncertainty doesn't seem to have hurt Lane Kiffin's offense the past two seasons. But that was with proven runners. Scarborough and Damien Harris looked good in the spring, but Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake left big holes in the backfield.

Dreams Are Colder Than Death...
19. UCLA
Josh Rosen, QB, Soph.; Soso Jamabo, RB, Soph.; Darren Andrews, WR, Jr.
Rosen was said to be physically ready to play as a freshman, and he didn't disappoint. But after a 60 percent completion rate and a 23-to-11 TD-to-INT ratio, there's still room to grow.
As a freshman, Jamabo averaged 6.1 yards on 66 carries (403 yards) in support of Paul Perkins. It's Jamabo's turn to lead now.
Andrews became Rosen's go-to in the slot last season, averaging 5.5 catches a game in the team's final five games (43 for season). But UCLA is still on the lookout for a consistent big-play target.
18. Ohio State
J.T. Barrett, QB, Jr.; Mike Weber, RB, Fr.; Noah Brown, WR, Soph.
Ole Miss
Chad Kelly, QB, Sr.; Damore'ea Stringfellow, WR, Jr.;Evan Engram, TE, Sr.
In the absence of a consistent running game, Kelly's 500 yards and 10 rushing scores were every bit as important as his 65.1 percent completion rate and 31 passing TDs last season. Once again, without a proven back, Kelly's wheels will be just as vital in 2016.
Stringfellow, the Washington transfer, now moves into the No. 1 receiving spot vacated by Laquon Treadwell. Engram has a good shot to be an All-American at a position that's becoming rarer on the college level. With 38 catches in each of the past two seasons, he's a dependable target for the Rebels.
16. Virginia Tech
Jerod Evans, QB, Jr.; Travon McMillian, RB, Soph.; Isaiah Ford, WR, Jr.
Ford broke out late in his sophomore season, accounting for 503 of his 1,164 receiving yards in the Hokies' last three games. The team also found its starting tailback in the second half of the season, when the 6-foot, 200-pound McMillian came on and eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark.
Evans was the No. 1-rated juco quarterback prospect, and at 6-4 and 235 pounds, he appears physically ready to make an impact. He'll first have to beat out returning QB Brenden Motley.
15. Iowa State
Joel Lanning, QB, Jr.; Mike Warren, RB, Soph.; Allen Lazard, WR, Jr.
The quality of the roster as a whole is fair game for criticism, but this youthful triplet's potential stacks up with any in the Big 12.
Warren rushed for 1,339 yards (5.9 per carry) and five scores as a freshman. He was once recruited by new ISU coach Matt Campbell when Campbell and his staff were at Toledo, so there's familiarity there.
Lazard averaged 5.4 catches a game in the team's final five games last season, which coincided with Lanning's emergence as the starter.
Now in Year 2, coaches around the league believe that the 6-2, 232-pound Lanning, with Campbell's influence, will make the Cyclones a tough out in 2016.
14. Tennessee
Joshua Dobbs, QB, Sr.; Jalen Hurd, RB, Jr.; Alvin Kamara, RB, Jr.
The 6-4, 240-pound Hurd takes Derrick Henry's place as the SEC's resident super-sized back. Hurd and Kamara combined to rush for 1,986 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2015 and added another 56 catches and 481 yards as underneath options for Dobbs, helping to mask a dearth of production from the team's receivers.
The coaching staff is hopeful that 6-4 sophomore Preston Williams can provide a much-needed downfield threat for Dobbs, whom coaches say might be the most intelligent QB in the country.
Josh Rosen, QB, Soph.; Soso Jamabo, RB, Soph.; Darren Andrews, WR, Jr.
