Fred Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 6 hours ago, Bormio said: Dabo talks too much and worries too much about what others say. Spurrier used to own space in his head. He is an excellent recruiter and motivator who has had an outstanding run of talent recently - much from Florida. Almost Ole Miss like. He is an OK X's and O's coach who has hired excellent coordinators that Clemson has paid extremely well. And when you are in the ACC, stone-throwing at other conferences is silly. Clemson has picked up its fair share of Ga boys. The QB and backup QB last year were from Ga, the prime running back was from Ga, and there were several other Ga guys that saw the field.

OdbCle Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 3 hours ago, NicholasMalibu said: Random sidebar - Any of the Ohio State guys know how the freshman DE Chase Young(DeMatha) is looking? He developed quickly over the last two years and I was wondering if he's doing well in camp. Also, will he get on the field this season with that talented and crowded OSU DL? I know he's only a freshman, but he's 6'6 260lbs at barely 18 years old. Thanks in advance. They are very excited about him and he'll definitely play, but it may be more in mop up time and against lesser opponents. If he shines in the opportunities he's given he'll be in the rotation more, but the Buckeyes are talented and deep at the DE position. Next year may be his time to step into the limelight.

concha Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 3 hours ago, ThunderRam said: Yeah, as erratic as Barrett was, I neglected to mention the o-line -- specifically Isaiah Prince who was a liability. The d-line has a chance to be lights out this season, which would make the Buckeyes a threat in every game they play. Barrett gets it done, if he has time. With that o-line... no time. Prince is actually #1 on the depth chart now. That scares me. There are some monster current commits/likelies and freshmen: Jackson Carman (Fairfield, OH) #1 OT in the nation '18 Thayer Munford (LaSalle/Massillon, OH) #28 OT in the nation '17 Wyatt Davis (SJB, CA) #1 OG in the nation '17 Josh Myers (Miamisburg, OH) #2 OG in the nation '17 Guys like these will make for great o-lines a year or two from now, but this year? Phil Steele ranks the Bucks o-line #3 in the country going into this season. I'll believe it when I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Auburn (2010 national champs), Florida (2008 and 2006 national champs), and Tennessee (1998 national champs)? And as you said, Alabama ('15, '12, '11, '09 national champs) and LSU (2007 and 2003 national champs). That's 10 national championships in 19 years for the SEC. Not just Alabama and LSU.

The Fiesta Bowl was Ohio State's first shutout in any game since 1993. As a whole, the Big Ten went just 3-7 in last year's bowl games, including losses in New Year's Six games by Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan. Hahaha!

Well, the B10's best teams were pretty good for the most part. OSU, PSU, Michigan and Wisconsin all had good seasons. They just weren't better than Clemson or Alabama. Neither was anybody else. How much you wanna bet all 4 of those teams will be pretty good again this season? Exposed my @$$. The SEC had a recent poor showing in bowl games. Doesn't mean the conference was exposed or isn't among the best. You can spin things all you want, but all 4 of those B10 teams were top 15 caliber teams and were capable of beating any team in the Nation not named Clemson or Alabama. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 The reason why ESPN hypes the Big 10 is because practically everyone who works for them is a Big 10 alum. The SEC gets the most hype but deservedly so. The Big 10 is a cash cow so it makes sense to follow the dollars. That's why they only talk about big market teams or stories that attract attention like the Warriors or Lebron. Back in 05 they had a season long circle jerk about USC being the best team in history when they weren't even the best team that year. Lol. In conclusion ESPN is trash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunate or not, they advanced to and won the game every single college football program is striving to get to and played their best when it mattered most. They beat down a decent OSU team then won the National title over one of Alabama's better teams. I'm not a Clemson fan at all, but give them credit. They were great last season and hoisted the championship trophy to prove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
