The Official 2024 College Football Random Thoughts Thread

Me either but you think sark would take him with his behavior problems considering how he is about the culture? Also I don’t trust CJ either I wish we went a little harder after some top backs this year also I didn’t know Lacey was only 5’10 lmao. How tf is there 3 5 star tackles in the state and we didn’t get one of them sark and them been slacking this class

Its a real possibility Blue comes back. Then you still have Baxter, Wisner, Gibson, Clark??, and the incoming freshman. That isn't going to be an attractive room for any RB in the portal, and I wouldn't say I'm convinced Etienne is any better than what we have. He only really looked good against us for about a half. Haven't been impressed by him in any other game I've watched.

I was referring to Jadan Baugh.

I love CJ, but I don't really count him b/c of reoccurring health issues and I don't view the freshmen as immediate contributors. Clark is also coming off an ACL. I don't view Blue as a feature back. If he returns, I could see him returning to the role meant for him complimentary back/passing threat. That leaves Gibson and Wisner. I'm high on Gibson, I love Wisner personally but I don't view him as nothing more than a Vontrell McGee type of player.

Offense has been clunky most of the season. A lot of that is on Ewers but some of it is also on the running game not being able to take advantage of some of these light defensive looks they're getting. W/ the oline possibly regressing next year and them breaking in a new QB, I could see them using NIL funds to help the running game get back to an elite level next year. I know they love CJ and the freshman back from Louisiana, but my opinion a guy like Baugh is worth taking a run at if he becomes available.

Would be the most A&M thing ever to lose this weekend

Elmer Fudd knows we are on their mind 24/7/365.

Straight trolling

Pac 12 better stop f*cking around and go after them & Memphis

I mean UGA’s defense looked better than theirs when they played each other, and that was in Austin with the refs scared they may get killed by them dusty ass dudes yall had in the crowd. They also played a significantly harder schedule than UT jr

I rather get my head cracked with a bat than go to bat for them fraudsters, so you know I ain’t just talking shyt here

Jahdae had two picks in that game and played all three positions (nickle, corner, safety) at an elite level.

Overall our defense played great against Georgia. They were dealing w/ short fields all game b/c our goofy QB was seeing ghosts. Ewers was walking into sacks/pressures made them look better than they are. Honestly, that's who I want in the SEC title game.

This is a wild tidbit. Kentucky has been playing football since 1881.

Baugh is going to be a good one. OL has been a bigger issue in the run game than the RBs IMO, mainly our guards. Run game would look a lot better with better guard play. Connor is out there because he is a good pass blocker. DJ is boom or bust. They hardly get to the second level. Baxter would be that guy to get the tough 4 yd runs on IZ runs. But I don't feel like Blue/Wisner have been terrible at it. It may not look like it but both are averaging around 5 ypc. Gibson needs to learn how to hang in to the ball but he is also at 5 ypc, which is basically the same average Baugh has.

DJ has been one of the bigger disappointments this year. He will need to come back and polish his game.

Blue isn't a prototypical IZ runner. He's not really a scheme fit. I think Wisner is but just limited athletically. There's been quite a bit of his 5-7 yard runs this year where a more talented back would have gotten 15-20.

Honestly thought Gibson would be starting by now after seeing him earlier in the season but I think the injury, fumbles, and pass pro are why they don't trust him yet.

Florida looks like they're righting the ship so it doesn't really matter but I like both of Florida's backs.

Tired of hearing dude's name.

I was prior to his injury. Will have to see how he recovers. His running style is/was similar to Bijan's.

He’s from Arizona too right?

Tbh I don’t think the run game is that bad it’s just sark is stubborn and trying to force them to do things they aren’t amazing at our strengths are the tackles and outside running but he continues to run inside mostly

100% agree I’ve been saying all year that our guard play is fukking terrible idk how many missed blocks I’ve seen those two make especially on pulls it’s frustrating. Especially from DJ considering he was a 5 star guy. The OTF guys said Gibson doesn’t play because of pass pro which is stupid because none of the backs we got our good at it. I was looking wisner but I think we need to go with blue and Gibson for the rest of the year and stop with the go routes Quinn sucks at them keep it immediate or even those deep post or crosses he can hit those. Tbh I’ve been kinda annoyed with sark playcalling this year. Like Quinn hasn’t been amazing but he doesn’t really call the shyt he’s good at anymore early in the year we were calling more of those post and crosses and such and he looked elite now he calling dumb shyt he can’t do. Also he needs to call more rollouts and have Quinn throw on the run he’s actually really good at it

I tried to tell @Silkk it was more of a rivalry for them than us. We mainly care about OU

You say all of this like Carson Beck is Stetson Bennett or something breh. You nikkas have at least triple the receiver talent they did and they gloved those dudes. And Beck been worse than Pooers this year. If their defense looked better than yours in that game on the road with the refs dikk sucking yall, that means something.
