Man, #90 Eddie Goldman has impressed the Hell out of me. Guy is making plays all over the field. Probably more than any defensive player on the Seminoles. 

 

And there's my boy, Karlos Williams! 

[Inqui]

Karlos Williams wraps it all up. GG.

 

Lot of insanely talented players on that FSU side - they're like the Alabama of a couple of years ago.

[Gordo52]

Heartbreaker for Clemson. Was that Beasley who lost outside containment?

That fumble by Clemson at the end of the game could be the biggest play of the year if FSU wins another title.

What do you think of Mario Edwards? He was out for the second half so clearly he wasn't some essential cog (though by that definition neither is Jameis...), but from what I saw today I liked his ability to get off blocks and his speed. Could be a nice DE to set the edge, blow up short screens and get a bit of penetration going.

 

I can see what you love about Williams. Quality runner.

I think they had to gamble there. The game was all but lost outside a huge play/turnover with the kicker FSU has.

No doubt. Lots of nice WRs in this class! I like it quite a bit. I'm excited we might get our top-shelf guy finally! I know I shouldn't hold my breath. DT or ILB? Lol. 

 

Strong has looked so good but he doesn't have that top-shelf speed you hope to have, either. His hands, size and catching radius is great, though! 

Haha, this sounds a lot like last year. We're just getting set up for disappointment.

 

I agree about Strong, and I'm hoping he can add a few finishing moves for getting open this season. I can see a team getting excited by his size and hands though, in the hopes they can teach him a few routes, so gun to my head today I'd pick him (and a few others) to go ahead of Greene.

[52520Andrew]

Yeah it's not just this one game. Erving, who looked good last year, looks lost out there. I know Beasley is out there but come on guy. You need to put up a fight. Disappointing to say the least. If it was just this game, I'd give him/them a pass. It's not just this game. 

I agree with Grim on this one, as I was saying earlier in the thread - for the OL that's supposed to be the best in the nation these guys have looked flat-out disappointing.

 

Yeah that is a good point, I didn't see the Citadel game but they weren't great against OK State in the opener. I think they are missing Stork a bit in the middle and Erving hasn't been up to his usual

I like Edwards but I haven't seen enough yet. Hard to say at the moment. Need a closer look, but that guy Goldman, wow. He was all over the field as a DL! That's what I want to see from a DL in college. That guy has some special potential. I hope we can get him, honestly. I'd be really happy with that. Hope he declares. He's a junior, so you never know. 

 

Yeah, Williams is a nice runner. Really solid and I wouldn't mind him at all if we passed on a RB for the first three rounds. I think he's a guy who could be there in the 4th. 

[Gordo52]

This.

I can't believe how much they make Conner throw that ball. He might throw 90+ times tonight lol

Mariota is so freaking fast.

[Inqui]

Cracking day of college football today.

 

Oregon are a lot of fun to watch, and you'd back them to pull ahead in the second. Stranger things have happened though.

 

Also, I'm not a huge fan of that Oregon strip. The yellow's too bright imo. *waits for lynchmob*

I go based on body of work and progression and Greene looks like he can be a #1 WR. Between him and Strong, I'm going Greene at the moment. He has the production to warrant the pick. Smooth routes aren't that easy to learn. Some guys never do. Strong routes IMO are better than speed, but both is the best! If you have both you have a winner! 

 

I'm a bit concerned about Diggs. I think he could be a more injury-prone Torrey Smith meets JJ. Lol. I love Diggs, though! He's my boy. I love Maryland, but I'm not sure about him at the next level.

Watching FSU for their prospects is like being a kid in a candy shop.

[52520Andrew]

That was a stupid play there by WSU

[Gordo52]

Man, those are the type of the plays that make the bad teams lose. Botched punt return that would give them great field position....The kicker missing a 25 yarder earlier. It's the little things.

...as I'm typing this, Wash St gets TWO sacks.

[ravefan52]

Devon Allen! I went to high school and ran track with that guy. Insanely fast

[Inqui]

Another missed chip shot. Things that make you glad to have Justin Tucker.

[Inqui]

I love how Oregon isn't gun-shy about going for it in tough spots. You have to wonder how Mariota will go as a pro, but for now he's a lot of fun to watch.

[52520Andrew]

That was a fun drive to watch from Oregon

[Mt. Crushmore]

Fear Ameer.

[52520Andrew]

Fear Ameer.

His game is done already so yeah not fearing him right now

[Inqui]

There's too easy, and then there's that touchdown.

Agreed Ifo is having a bad night along with the rest of the Oregon defense

He's keeping pace well enough at times and you can at least see where the hype comes from, but he's been caught out a lot too. Not impressive for the number one CB in the country, but you'd hope he can play better from next seek.

Yeah I will let tonight slip a bit as he has impressed me other times but he needs to improve here.

 

Also big drive there from Oregon, now to see if WSU can respond

[52520Andrew]

Me and the announcer are pretty in sync with who our top 5 are right now lol

The Oregon RBs look nice. A dream playoff for me would be a firing Oregon against Alabama.

This was the first I've seen of Ifo, so I'll have to refer to the tape tonight.

WSU driving. Overtime could be an interesting result, though I think Oregon will just come back if they have to.

[Inqui]

Both number 1 and 2 got the rub of the green today, but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Just ask auburn.

Yeah that would be the matchup people have wanted for years lol

 

Watch the Oregon State tape from last year where he spent a lot of time on Cooks, that was a pretty good battle.

 

Yeah not a fan of that no call but if WSU can get a stop they have a chance. Oregon has been on a roll on offense though so it will be interesting to see if they go conservative or not
