Jeanty vs. Penn State, Carter, Warren - anybody watching?

[Faceplant]

Scattebo just looks like a McVay type of player. Refs are giving this to TX tho..how was that NOT targeting??

They said most of the hit landed on the shoulder and only somewhat grazed the head. That's why they ruled not targeting. Seems like the right call to me.

The football gods disagree, and therefore they doinked the FG.

That TD run was ridiculous

Texas wins

That wasn't running the ball while trailing. Every game I've ever watched, a team down with 2 minutes left to go, passes the ball. If there's 30 or 40 seconds left they may hand off once and let the clock run out, so there are no additional injuries in a game completely settled. He ran the ball 5 times in the hurry up and then they passed a couple. Bush is the wrong word (I've slept on it )That was a head coach trying to get his star the record because there was no chance to come back. I'm just glad he didn't get it in that manner. Like Dieter said, it sucked he being allowed to break Sanders record with a bowl game included when Barry's bowl game didn't count. It would have been worse doing it in the final 2 minutes with a 17 point deficit. But the football gods prevailed.

Is he a talent? Absolutely. But the competition he faced was limited. He had a good game vs Oregon (#33 vs the run) and UNLV (#22) the second time around. In the first game they held him to 3.9 YPC. The next best vs the run was San Jose (#62), then Hawaii (#92) and WSU (#96). The other 7 weren't in the top 100. He met a top team last night (#7 D; #7 vs the run) and it showed. Not only was he held under 3 yards on 21 of his 30 carries, he fumbled twice. I'd draft him but those 374 carries (600 the last 2 years) worry me a bit.

Brother, they were down 17. They weren't coming back. They gave the ball to their best player. You play the game until it's over. If the HC tried to reward the guy who carried the team all year, good on him.

As for Jeanty, Penn State held him in check because of Boise's lack of talent. If Boise State had a passing attack Penn State had to respect and a good OL, it would have been a very different game. It's hard to be a one-man offense. Ask 2023 Saquon.

I thought it was just me. I've watched this game and parts of others and given his size and hype I was expecting to see the next Gronkowski. But he looked slower and less fluid. Good player. Would help the Rams. But, I just cant get excited about him like I was with Bowers last year.

Yeah, Bowers was a generational guy. Warren is not. I'd wait on TEs. There are likely to be some good value picks at the position in this Draft..

First good defense Jeanty has played against and it was obvious that Boise State did not measure up. It is hard for me to respect this team because they play the likes of Wyoming, Nevada, UNLV & the Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii. Give me a break, plus that blue field pisses me off every time I see it.

Boise State cannot move to better conferences because that university does not offer Graduate Programs. That is why they have not been able to move to the PAC12 several years ago or other conferences too. Hopefully they will adjust the seeding next year because that team did not deserve a bye, however, they did play with heart I will give them that, but it was obvious they were not on the same level IMHO.

Jeanty ran all over Oregon.

Looking forward to seeing Cam Skattebo play here in a few minutes. Not sure how he will do against a tough Texas team and game could get away from AZ State fast

Skattebo is one of my favorite players to watch, he runs as hard as any player I have seen in a very long time

Skattebo is a stud. He's the guy who makes the most sense for us. Think he'll be there in the 3rd. Offers the skillset McVay loves, but he has more power to his game than our current HBs.

Sun Devils lost it on that blitz call when they had them on the 4th and long in the 1st OT.

 

[PhillyRam]

They spotted them a 14 pt lead. Could be an issue where these bye teams get off to slow starts since they haven't played in a month, while the non bye teams played 10-12 days ago.

And this happened again now in the Oregon game. The "bye teams" are getting off to slow starts where they go 2 scores down early.

 

[Merlin]

Oregon just isn't in Ohio State's class in the trenches.

Curious if Sawyer is more of a ILB even though I see they play him at edge a lot. Maybe a LB draft candidate.

That's what I said, the coach was trying to get him the record because the game was lost. I was glad he didn't get it 'that way'.

You think they were "playing the game till it was over"? That's not what they were doing.

And stop with the "he ran all over Oregon". Who have they played besides Ohio St.? (And please don't say "Illinois"). Hell, Henderson ran on Oregon at a 8.9 ypc clip.

****And boy oh boy are they getting their asses handed to them so far today!!

On Warren, he doesn't have the speed, moves or route running tangibles. All he does is make plays, when making plays is needed the most.

Yeah he is an interesting player. I'd be surprised to see that but never know.

May end up moving inside and playing 5T too, if he is drafted by a scheme like ours, as he has the rangy build and power. Just put some more muscle on him.

Awful situation in New Orleans this am moving the Sugar Bowl to tomorrow.
Just terrible

I don’t think anyone said Warren is on Bowers level. Bowers is a generational talent with his speed, size, and athleticism. In most drafts with two top QBs Bowers would be a top ten pick.

Warren is being projected as a bottom of round 1 pick in a QB weak draft.

 

[Merlin]

Scattebo just looks like a McVay type of player.

It's funny how he'll probably go round 2 or 3 but when I watch their games he's usually the best player on the field. And he was again today.

 

[Memento]

No reason for us to take a HB in the first (or the second, for that matter).

Depends on if we trade K-Will or not. I don't think we would, but if we traded him to another team and got a third-round pick back? Depending on who's there at the end of the first round? I could see us trading down and picking Judkins.
