John Rhys Plumlee’s day today was INSANE.
He played in UCF’s 5pm home baseball game vs Memphis. Goes 2-3 with a triple and 2 RBIs. UCF wins 12-3.
He then leaves the game in 7th inning, sprints out of the stadium & is escorted in golf cart to the football stadium to play in the…
Alabama’s final play was an RPO
This ball should’ve gone to the swing pass to the RB
Bama had 2 blockers on the 2 DBs and the RB out leveraged the defender playing him man
But low snap forced Milroe to abort it and run himself

Loved sitting down with you last year and hearing your amazing story!
Being a graduate assistant in college football is not fun.
Long hours.
Little pay.
And even less recognition.
That did not matter to Dan Lanning.
He was going to be the hardest worker in the room, become a great recruiter….
And do the little things nobody else wants to do.…
Trace McSorley went to the NFL combine and scouts asked him to workout as a DB. He respectfully declined.
No one believed he’d make it in the NFL. They said he was too short, not a big enough arm.
Now here he is. Starting QB for the Cardinals.

In ten years we will look back at this current model of average fans donating their hard-earned money to NIL collectives to fund a college football roster while universities, coaches, ADs, commissioners and tv networks make millions (sometimes billions) as absolutely crazy

“I swear if it wasn’t for my knee injury I would be in the NFL right now. Like everyone knew I was going to be a star. Ever hear of Mike Gesicki? Everyone said I’d be better than him.”
Dan Lanning has put Oregon Football back on the map.
And on the cusp of their first college football playoff appearance since 2014.
But his remarkable story -- and how he's taken college football by storm -- doesn't start there.
It starts in 2011.
When Lanning landed a spot…

It starts with hiring one of the…
You can clearly see Hester's fingers snap back as the ball hits his hand. This kick was blocked. And yes, even just getting a finger on the ball will change the trajectory of the kick.

Scouts & analysts are saying there could be a new best QB in college football.
And no his name is not Caleb Williams.
It’s J.J. McCarthy.
According to reports from NFL Scouts, some believe that Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy has potential to be the best QB in the country.

Virginia Tech has one of the most storied programs in college football history.

Texas Tech is changing college football with how they evaluate and recruit.
Traditionally, college football programs have their position coaches evaluate prospects at their respective position and decide who they want to recruit.
In the NFL, scouts, and personnel/front office…
Most watched Super Bowl in history. Biggest moment of the NFL season. Was set up for a classic ending and it gets botched with a terrible call.
You can’t make this weak of a call in that big of a moment.
RG3 has one of the best stories in all of football.
He put Baylor Football on the map with a Heisman in 2011.
No. 2 overall in the NFL draft.
Rookie of the year.
And given the keys to a franchise.
But after a slew of injuries, it all came to an end.
From the face of the NFL…
Clemson Edge Myles Murphy is an absolute freak of nature and whoever takes him tonight is getting a future All-Pro for their franchise.
At 6’5 280lbs, he has the twitch & athleticism to change the trajectory of a defense overnight.
First call I'm making if I'm James Franklin:
Joe Moorhead
Akron is a HARD place to win. Penn State could double his pay as OC. Can still be close to his family.
I’ve said it for months and I’ll say it again —

My favorite things about Will are his confidence, aggressiveness, and toughness. None of which are physical traits. Levis is exactly the…
What does an “offer” mean in college football recruiting now a days?
An “offer” may not be what you think.
Just because a recruit has an offer, does not always mean he actually has a scholarship saved for him at that program.
Most programs offer hundreds of recruits, and only…
Pat Narduzzi has produced 25 NFL draft picks at Pitt.

Let me be very clear: anyone questioning whether or not James Franklin should be Penn State's head coach is being absolutely ridiculous and irrational.
And nonsense talk like that does nothing to move the program forward.

Wow. Manny Diaz was the head coach at Temple for 2 weeks... takes a new job without ever coaching a game. Yet athletes have to sit out a year to transfer. Makes sense.

Here's the issue with NIL (THREAD):
College players getting $3M in NIL deals is not "the market" deciding what they're worth.
Heisman finalist Kenny Pickett only made $100k in NIL last year -- because he wasn't on the open market as a transfer or recruit.
Just watched the Penn State vs Ohio State All-22 tape.
First thought — Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are the 2 best players on offense and 2 of the best backs in all of CFB…
They combined for just 20 touches total Saturday. That’s not enough.
Need to use Singleton/Allen…
I want all the Ohio State smoke.
Here are 3 reasons why Penn State is coming into The Shoe and beating the Buckeyes on Saturday.
Reason 1 — Drew Allar
It’s his time.
He’s ready.
Reason 2 — Penn State’s Linebackers
Curtis Jacobs.
Abdul Carter.
Dom Deluca.
Kobe King.…
The reason to fire your offensive coordinator midseason is to be one of the first movers in the OC-hiring market.
I think James Franklin knows who he wants and is going to go after him before others can.
I asked
@AllarDrew
on my podcast with him yesterday - “What’s the best advice you’ve ever received.”
His answer: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
I was so impressed with Drew’s maturity, mindset and demeanor at just 19 years old. And I’m excited for all of CFB to get to know…
What a storybook ending to Sean Clifford’s career.
Today, in his last game, he played the best game of his career, broke the school record for total offense and delivered a Rose Bowl win to Penn State.

12 years ago I committed to Penn State.
In 2012, the "experts" said Penn State Football wouldn't be able to compete with Temple for a decade. 4 years later, Coach Franklin led us to a Big Ten championship.
I've said for a while that of all the experiences in my life, I'm most…
A lot to digest from the Penn State game.
Haven’t delved fully into all the film yet because I was calling a game.
Preliminary thoughts:
Bottom line… we saw two of the best defenses in CFB.
Penn State is still one of the top 10 teams in CFB.
Ohio State is better.

I always say big-time college football programs operate like a business.
There is no better example than the team hotel.
Washington moved a multi-million dollar operation 2,500 miles to New Orleans to win one game.
