Cotton Bowl on now. Florida vs Oklahoma. Florida had a bunch of guys including their TE Pitts opt out and a few more out with Covid. Down 14 early. Florida will have to rely on Justin Shorter who transferred because he sucked at Penn State. He needs about 5 dudes out to get on the field.

Trask with a bad INT early.

Trask with three INTs not good for a final look. Did he get hurt he isn't even in there?

I see they put him back in and from a Ok turnover he only managed three. This isn't helping his draft stock.

There were a lot of questions surrounding Trask before this game and this is showing some of his weaknesses.
 
it's always so hard to evaluate QBs when they have tons of weapons. Is it them or is it the weapons? That's why i have no idea if Mac Jones is any good at all. He has all day to throw to wide open guys.

It was similar with Trask much of the year. Pitts is such a mismatch, you just throw it near him and it's a completion. Now in a game without so many weapons, he struggles. You can't overreact to that either though because it does take time for a QB to get on the same page as WRs, so some struggles should be expected.

Oklahoma could be dangerous next year. Seems they finally decided to build a bit of a defense.

Kind of funny hearing Oklahoma chanting SEC SEC
 
Here's my new rule suggestion for Notre Dame. They are banned from playoff consideration based on the following formula

Amount of *** beating - 10 divided by 5. So, let's say they lose by 30. That's (30 - 10) / 5 = 4 year playoff ban
 
From what I've watched, Mac Jones is the most NFL ready out of the 2021 draft class. Besides his physical talents, he can read defenses well and goes through his progressions albeit, a little slow. If he lands on the right team (good QB Coach) he'll have a very good career. Trevor Lawrence has some issues and if he goes to the Jags he'll be the next Blake Bortles. Jamie Newman could be a decent QB in the NFL if coached up, The rest are absolute Bums.
 
We've got an interesting game today with Georgia vs. Cincinnati. The Bearcats want an undefeated season and want to prove they belong with the best of the P5. They also have a sleeper QB prospect in Desmond Ridder who gets to go up against a team usually loaded with NFL talent.
 
Saw he picked up a first down on a 3rd and 3 scramble so he is mobile which never hurts.

If you are Eastern its 4 your time and I'd imagine it should be pretty accessible unless you totally cut cables.

To be fair here. College football is a relatively un-tiered , tiered sport. So Notre Dame can recruit itself beyond most other teams, but not to the same level as Bama, Clemson etc. I'm also thinking that academic eligibility has something to do with it too.

Good find on the kid. Accurate not easily rattled. Scramble to pass. Seems like decent release. Definitely a sleeper.

Georgia is getting beat up. The cinci defense is solid

Those last two offensive series by Cinci were not good. Georgia might just be finding the key on defense.
 
Hoping Cincy holds on to this lead.

I would love to see the Irish do it, but doubt that happens.
