Barkley hype confuses me. Man has gone for over 100 in 3 out of 8 games this year. He basically has had two great games and been aight otherwise.

For instance, Tate already has 120 more rushing yards than him in two fewer games. If it wasn't for McSorley losing to ya'll would have been their first L of the season.

I've been saying the same thing. He averages 5.8 yards per carry. That puts him at 67th in the country. Unless he gets one run that he pops for a big one, he is basically completely average purely at running back. He catches balls out of the backfield and returns kicks, but is he so great in those areas that he makes up for being average or barely above average at running back when that's his main position? I like him as a player, but I feel like this "best RB I've seen maybe ever" talk is so overblown it's crazy to me.

I got USC over them this weekend @No Sleep

 

[Trust Me]

We made the playoffs ..

Did you really 'make' it though?

Ya'll dudes never even got off the bus.

Don't even make sense to play the big OOC games if dudes gonna make excuses and shyt about why head to head shouldn't matter

Cosign. The fact people wanna give Ohio State credit for beating down on scrubs following the Oklahoma game while Oklahoma has faced much better competition and has not looked as dominant just shows how fickle college football fans are. Its basically a week to week overreaction. Ohio State beats a Penn State team that hasn't really beaten anybody else and now we're supposed to think they are juggernauts again?

I look forward to Ohio State getting maimed in the playoffs once again this year.

Georgia gon skull fukk them in Pasadena.

Mullen would do wonders at UF. There is literally no reason not to get em.

He won't be expensive nor does he have an expensive buyout

We ALL know he's tsken MSU as far as they can go and would have an "easier path" at UF in winning the SEC.

He's been at UF under the circus that was the Meyer resigme and saw how extreme it is here so he'd def know what he'd be getting into

You also wouldn't have to worry about him looking at the NFL or any other job in the foreseeable future

Plus he's experienced, a proven winner, and has shown he can develop QB's.

Yup he would probably bring one of the best dual threats in 2018 with him in Jalen Mayden too. He's a lefty and throws just like Tebow lol, same size too once he goes through a weight lifting program. His bro Jared is a DB at Bama tho so still hope he might come here

So u rather just play in a meaningless bowl game? I mean we at least had a chance. Now did we blow it? Yeah but we had a chance only 3 other teams had.

I never said it would happen. All I'm telling you is what I've heard. And the only name that has been contacted according to sources is Jon Gruden. Some of those sources say he's already turned them down. Others say he wants Butch to end the season and see if he can save his job. There was a report a few days ago that Tennessee was offering him $10 million per year.

Other than Gruden the only name I've heard mentioned is Scott Frost.

Frost would be a good fit anywhere he lands imo.

Dude had to deal with adversity from fans at Nebraska being the QB before he was even 21 years old so he'll be able to deal with tough times, if they happen, at whatever SEC school he ends up at (if he leaves that is).

Also being able to be around the coaches he's been privileged to be around just LOOKS like he'll be a top coach within the next 5 years.

Mullen would rather keep making his 4 million/year at Miss State where they'll be happy with one 9-10 win season every 4 years rather than going to the cauldron of negativity that is Gainesville where he'll be fired if he's not looking like a national title contender in year 3.

I would be SHOCKED by Mullen left Miss State for Florida. He's got much better job security at Miss State. If they win 10 games this year (including the bowl game), he'll have built up goodwill to stick around for another 4-5 years. And he would be a hero if he turned down the Florida job.

That's what I'm saying. Dominant college RB's be going off for a 150 in a half and shyt. How are people this caught up in Saquon when dudes like Fournette and Dalvin were basically one man offenses just last year and basically unstoppable. This dude Saquon is regularly stopped

Do you even know wtf you're talking about before you say some shyt?

Shocked if Mullen left Miss St for Florida?

He wants out of there desperately. He would have shyt on the miss st logo at halftime if he could have gotten the UM job he's tried to get both times it was available recently.

If UF wants him they could have him there by this afternoon.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised this is coming from a LeBron fan. You fools don't know nothing about sports beyond the box score.

The reason Saquon Barkley gets the love he gets is because he does shyt nobody else. Entire defenses key in solely on him. He's the reason McSorely and those receivers have any success. Without Barkley, Penn State is struggling to make a bowl game. That is how much of a difference maker he is. His impact goes beyond the stat sheet.

Also open your fukking eyes. When he actually doesn't have the entire defense focused solely on him and gets a little room he is unstoppable. He's got Barry Sanders like elusiveness and the power of an Earl Campbell.

Saquon Barkley is the BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER I'VE EVER SEEN. And its not even close.
