Agreed. He looks a little afraid to do anything with the ball. I'm hoping he'll go off in a couple of these cupcake games and be ready for the scoring load for B1G play. I think Lenzelle can be counted on for 10 a game or so. Thompson doesn't look like he's ready for double digits, and...

Maybe not immediately, but both schools have a lot of untapped potential. The extra money for the athletic department should go a long way.

Looks like he's got a much more developed outside game than Turner. I think he and Loving will form very versatile 3/4 combos, much the way Thomas does currently. In addition to Williams at the 2, we've got the beginnings of a team that will have no trouble scoring the basketball.

Or, in Rutgers' case at least, pay off the debt accrued by investing in their program during the Schiano era. I agree on the potential of both programs. The hardest part for both in the transition will be having short-term success. In football, they would likely both finish in the bottom half...

DO NOT WANT ND. They made their insect-infected bed, now we watch them sleep in it as we demolish the ACC. I'm not blind to the reach of that school (as ORD alluded to), but they burned the bridge. They would be on the wrong side of relevancy if not for their football team this year. I...

Pretty huge pickup. Wish he was '13 but we'll take what we can get.

Agreed. We were very predictable today.

I don't think it's fair to evaluate player development in college basketball based on recruiting as we do in football. These kids have played so many games and gotten so much coaching by the time they get to college that many are maxed out. You also have to consider the 1-and-done rule, and...

I saw a statistic that went something like: Bears D has given up 7 TD passes and have 7 INTs for TDs.

They said, "...of BCS conference teams" I believe.

Let's say that rule wasn't in place. A recruit signs at a school, wants to transfer after his 1st year. Wants to avoid sitting out a year, so he transfers to a CC. If he transfers again from CC to D1, no sitting rule. This would allow a bypass of the year sitting out he would have...

A&M and Miss St. are in the top 25 this year, Auburn won the NC not too long ago, and I guess you don't remember playing Arky in the Sugar Bowl. Indiana, they are not.

Just another product of depth issues.

Sorry to nit-pick, but you mean Brian Kelly. Please continue beating the dead horse.

Plus, if we get up by a couple of scores, he has to revert to all-pass mode. That mode isn't pretty.

At least for football, I'd bet a large number of incoming freshman on scholarship have the NFL as their goal after school. A good number of them realize during college that it won't happen, but I can see the enticement of making money AND doing what you love right out of high school.

Good point. Zeke should really do something about the type of competition he faces.

Maybe we can get that crew from Seattle. Definitely evens the playing field. I'm not going to lie, I'm just happy it's on national TV so I can actually watch a game. I fully expect that we'll lose by at least 3 scores, but you can't take the Cleveland out of the kid.

I'd like to see him hit open deep routes first. Devin Smith was as open as can be on the very first drive of the game, and he also under threw Corey Brown on an open deep route later in the game.

I found myself thinking the same thing quite often, although I wouldn't have included the "mostly on defense" bit. Since is the defense thread, I'll just say that we should expect to see the same offensive game plan from just about every remaining team on the schedule. I hope our back 7 gets...
