I meant boom or bust in the sense that they will likely rip a bunch of back shoulder throws at Igbinosun or Sanchez and find success or not with it… either through PIs or actually completing hard to defend passes.

I mean they will throw the ball but PI's are just noise in the game really, they aren't a foundational thing. You can't build a gameplan on "we'll do this and get 10 PI calls". I mean, I HOPE IU would build that as a plan but I think they are too smart for that.

It's annoying as hell when it happens but it won't flip the game by itself.

The IU upset path is short fields from ST chaos, 2+ turnovers, consistent up the middle pressure on Sayin and OSU having empty possessions.

If they don't get multiple parts of that, they don't really have a way to win.

My impression has always been that Nebraska’s winning strategy was taking skill position players who had no other options due to academics or off field issues and putting them behind roided up Midwest farm boys. In both scenarios, the importance of the location was minimized.

As I recall it they went from 80's pretty good to 90's dominant when they started getting their skill players from the LA area something happened and they lost that (Osborne retired is one obvious catalyst) and they went down hard for the past 25 years or so.

I think I read that something demographic happened and that midwest farm boy base took a hit as well (their famed walk on program).

Still gets back to talent in my mind, if you are in a remote are with nothing for kids to do you are going to have to sell something else and they don't have much to sell. Same basic pattern Nebraska showed.

DE C.J. Hicks (National Champion)

I wonder if we’ll see him moving forward now that his redshirt is secured.
Click to expand...

Looks like he’s been officially activated and it won’t count against his RS.

This is really great depth for the team. He may not be Caden Curry or Kenyatta Jackson, but he doesn’t need to be that over the next month - just like Curry didn’t need to be Jack Sawyer last year. Hicks is an experienced player that has the physical abilities and intelligence to wreck an offense while the starters are getting a breather. Would also be a nice sub in terms of size and ability for Reese. This could tee him up for a great start in 2026.

(Sorry for the paywall)

2026 IN WR Jerquaden Guilford has signed!!!

24/7 Scouting report:
Well-rounded outside receiver who can create separation at all three levels of the defense and stretch the field vertically. Verified around 6-foot-2.5, 190 pounds ahead of his senior season with a broad frame and a fantastic combine testing profile. Earned top performer honors after a stellar showing at the 2025 Under Armour Ohio regional camp and has been a consistent playmaker on the club 7-on-7 scene. Meager production as a sophomore and junior compared to some of the top wide receivers in the 2026 cycle, underlined by an 11.4% catch-to-touchdown conversion rate. As a junior had to put on the cape quite often for a Northrop squad that finished 1-9 on the season. Possesses the physical tools and position-specific skill to potentially see a massive leap in production as a senior. Should be viewed as a traits-heavy outside receiver with the ability to contort his body and make acrobatic snags at the catch point. Has multi-year Power Four starter upside and the physical clay to one day merit NFL Draft consideration.

Just sayin': I have no idea what the competition was like in his Senior highlights; however, it does appear that he has a pretty high "WR ceiling" in college. Nice ability on acrobatic catches and breaking/avoiding tackles; in addition, he appears to have a quick burst of speed after the catch.

Its similar to what Mylan Graham(who he trains with) faced, so I don't think its the best. He'll need a year or 2 to get up to speed. But has a great foundation to work from. And I believe he works out with the trainer who trained Austin Mack, so he knows what to expect from OSU

sooo back in the day Boomers would have foregone the money and let the school keep it? Been happy to walk up hill both ways to dear old U?

:lol:

Come on man.

Every human who has ever lived is motivated by self interest. Taking the money now+ development+ intangibles that matter to the kid is their own personal calculous of what the best decision is just like any actor in a market.

Some will piss it away, some will not just like any other age group handles money.

LSU must be really hard up to defend and cheer this guy on.
Click to expand...

have you paid any attention to our last 3 coaches?

Les Miles - Miles engaged in inappropriate conduct, including texting female students, inviting them to his condo alone, commenting on their physical appearance (allegedly wanting "blondes with the big boobs" as student workers), and on at least one occasion, kissing a student and suggesting they go to a hotel.

Ed O - helped cover up rape allegations against Derrius Guice, spent his last 2 years chasing poon (including bring GF's kids to practice) instead of coaching

Brian Kelly - well, he's Brian fucking Kelly


so at absolute worst, Joey Freshwater is par for the course.

lets be honest.... we dont know if ole Bag'O Cash was involved back then... but we know likely for top guys it probably was ...

Just sayin': We know it happened back in the 60s & 70s at UCLA with their basketball team. Some UCLA booster named Sam Gilbert was funneling money to recruits to came to UCLA. You have to believe that stuff like that went on in football programs back then (and subsequent years) too.

And Burrow was a senior with a year under his belt as LSU QB1. What Sayin has done is simply unprecedented and he's blown away even the level of hype he had coming in. Anyone who says they saw this level of play coming, well...

I did.

To be fair...

I have thought the same about every single QB we've had since Greg Frey
