North Carolina at South Carolina (6PM, ESPN)

[Mike80]

So CAr's defense looks entirely gassed right now. Clowney is being blocked by Tight Ends, backs and OTs and he isn't doing a damn thing.

No shit, and he's been out on 3rd downs and fourth downs.

The Heisman talk for Clowney is a joke. I'm in favor of defensive players being seriously considered, but the "best player in the nation" needs to be more than a part-timer.

 

[jlb1705]

That oughta do it. UNC settles for three, then gives up seven right after the kickoff.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

That looked pretty much like targeting to the head to me.

 

[ant80]

The way the commentators are describing it, it seems like Clowney is laying an egg.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Pretty sure someone called this Clowney scenario in the Predictions thread.

Guy has his eyes on dollar bills.

 

[Dryden]

Oh yeah, Clowney put a 10 cent stamp on this one.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Mental note to self. Remember new way to rank QB's developed by secpn mentioned during this game when a couple years down the line SEC QB's are rated as 7 of the top 10 QB's in the country.

Clowney is either very sick or very much overrated. Not impressed at all by his play tonight. Jay Z and making millions on his mind and not football. Or, he is sick

He has always taken plays off or had them taken off for him. I doubt that's going to change for him at all as he moves to a league with more practice hours, a preseason, a longer regular season and a longer postseason (if he's on the right team.)

Like being sick on the first day of school after summer break.

He just doesn't want to be there.

 

[Dryden]

He just doesn't want to be there.

Would you?

 

[jlb1705]

Would you?

I would. There's no salary cap in the SEC, and guaranteed contracts.
