2024 / 2025 College Watch Thread

[Scotty]

USC / Michigan looked a close game , and OK State only lost by 3 to Utah. Just going to watch Tenn v OU now

 

[signbabybrady]

Shedeur with the Hail Mary wow

 

[Scotty]

Oklahoma just could not get anything going for most of the game. Who they did have some plays in the 4th quarter it was too late. Tennessee were in control and did not look like loosing.

 

[Scotty]

Week 5 match ups....

Obviously the big game is Georgia v Alabama

Illinois v Penn State
Louisville v Notre dame
Kentucky v Ole Miss (worth watching the big Kentucky Defensive lineman - Deone walker
Colorado v UCF

Again, I may have missed some but plenty to watch this weekend.

Xavier Restrepo is the best WR I’ve seen in college ball so far this year. Not super big, I have no idea how fast he is, but the guy runs great routes and catches everything close.

I watched one of the first Miami games and Restrepo certainly made some good plays and was mentioned a few times , one to watch as the season progresses

 

[Scotty]

Not sure how the Georgia v Alabama game will turn out. I am guessing these two teams are pretty close this year and evenly matched so could be a tight game. Maybe coaching experience will make a difference ?

What a catch by the Minnesota WR for a TD while PI was happening.

MICH 27 - MINN 24

 

[Triumph]

5hit, Minny executed the onside kick but it's called back for offsides.

 

[Jim Beankie]

BLMac Jones really surging up the draft boards...

 

[Jim Beankie]

Good luck to whoever drafts Carson Beck.

 

[Peachhead]

Colorado WR Will Sheppard looked pretty good today. Including one diving catch for a TD that was ridiculous.

LSU WR Kyren Lacy looked good too. I've had my eye on him since last season.

 

[PaulThePat]

Been saying for months and I'll keep on saying it...don't sleep on Jalen Milroe. Best deep ball I've seen in a while and one of the best QB runners you'll see. He's also improved his accuracy which all adds up to a dangerous combination. Yep, helps having a 17 year old phenom like Ryan Williams, but credit to Milroe who still gets way too much disrespect. Today he contributed to over 500 yards of offence and 5 TDs against a Bulldogs team who only ever seem to lose games where Alabama is the opponent. Not saying he's a Day 1 starter but in the right spot he could become a top level NFL QB.

 

[KCSVEN]

Ashton Jeanty is perfect for the Pats, you don't need to actually block anyone, he'll just make them miss!
Can't draft a running back in the first round, is not good value but this guy is a wrecking machine, always hits the right hole, low center of gravity at 5 foot 9 but power at 215, looks faster than his 4.42 forty which is good anyways.
Maybe as a rb he slips to second. Probably first rb taken and goes mid round 1 but man that guy is fun to watch.

 

[Scotty]

I have still to watch the second half of the Alabama v Georgia game where I suspect Georgia made a comeback. Jalen Milroe was very impressive the first half when Bama went up 28-0. The Alabama offence really made plays around the outside of the Georgia DL for most of the first half. Williams (17 years old) the Alabama WR had a good game and one to watch for the future. I tried to keep my eye on the Left tackles of both teams to see how they played.

Now onto the second half and see Georgia get back into the game.

Am I the only one who thinks Ryan Williams' catch was very good, and timely, but not anywhere close to "one of the wildest plays I've ever seen a wideout make," like what NFL Scout Nagy wrote. I've been seeing countless posts all over saying something like what Nagy wrote. I thought at first they were just all Bama fans, but Nagy is apparently an NFL Scout and we all know who Richard Sherman is.

It's a very good play, good body control. He stopped suddenly and evaded the defender after the catch. It looks to me like a play a lot of very good receivers can make though? What do you guys think watching this?

Don't have an X account any more so can't click the link. If it's the game winning TD, the best part was after the catch.

I just feel the need to vent, why do a lot of mock drafts have the Pats taking anything other than a LT? I know that no one can answer why those interweb scouts do what they do, but I would be interested in any opinions as to why anything other than LT would be acceptable at this point in the season.

A combination of to avoid being repetitive and boring their readers and the fact that, from what I know, the top OTs aren’t quite viewed as elite as other top players at different positions in the draft.

Good answer, that makes sense but I don't like it. LOL
