College Football Season Open Thread.

[*Synric*]

Open thread for the Season. Probably just so I can post Matchups, Plays, and Random comments   .

[*Synric*]

Of course first matchup is definitely a WVU guy lol.


Penn State at WVU we get to see top 10 projected edge (top 5 in some places) Abdul Carter vs a top 100 guy WVUs LT Wyatt Milum matchup of the weekend.

[*Synric*]

Other less important matcups.

Clemson's LB Barter Carter vs Georgia's rush offense.
Notre Dame CB Benjamin Morrison vs Texas A&M SEC matchups. Along with Shemar Turner Nic Scourton vs a Notre Dam inexperienced OL.
USC vs LSU will feature IDL Bear Alexander and both LSU Tackles.

This is incredible. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it...

I don’t know how to describe this interception by Rob Carter Jr. other than it looks fake. It looks like a movie stunt. Insane pic.twitter.com/KlEeMbbrpn

UNC's Offense besides Omarion Hampton was horrendous. Hampton was a warrior. His pass pro still needs work though lol.

North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton vs Minnesota:

? 146 Total Yards
? 17 Missed Tackles Forced

Best INT I've ever seen; that's better than the Brent grimes INT in 2014 against the Lions!

The Seminoles DL was getting so much hype going into the year as rhe best in CFB but they have been walked of the line continuously through a couple games.

Hey Synric, do you think Ashton Jeanty will be a top 10 pick next season or will the Bengals be able to draft him with there first pick in the late 20s?

Don't you mean pick #32?

Ashton Jeanty probabaly won't be a top 10 pick because he's a running back without the prototypical measurements and he isn't going to be a 4.3 guy. The major thing that will keep him out of the top 10 and maybe the top 20 is this is looking like a deep first round draft class. I have 3 corners with top 10 grades 2 with top 5 (Johnson, Hunter). 

It's also looks like a deep RB class with my specific favorite being Omarion Hampton for the Bengals scheme.

[*Synric*]

My biggest ? About the 2025 draft class headed into the year is how many top quality OTs are there in this class?

Kelvin Banks, Emery Jones, and Jonah Jonah Savaiinaea are most likely all guards.

I think that we'd be safe saying that one will be on the short list for highlight of the year.

[*Synric*]

Week 2 Matchups:

Texas vs Michigan. We get to see Isaiah Bond vs Will Johnson plus that Michigan DL.
Iowa vs Iowa State. Matchup of Strengths Iowa' States sometimes power slot Jayden Higgins vs Iowa's SS/Slot corner Sebastian Castro.
Boise State vs Oregon. Current RB1 Ashton Jeanty has a chance to show out vs a top Oregon defense.
South Carolina vs Kentucky SEC matchup. There's a true freshman edge for SC that is getting hype and of course UK's Deone Walker.

Friday Night is SMU vs BYU for sometrason that matchup strikes a cord but I can't remember why.



If anyone catches a matchup I missed Post please.

Wanted to focus on the Georgia IOL vs Clemson's DL and came away very impressed. I'm really excited about LG Dylan Fairchild big guy at 6'5 315 but can really move. He is always looking for work especially keeping an eye on the LT Ernest Greene who had a bad game. Clemson DT DeMonte Capehart had an ok game in run defense but didn't create any kinda pressure.
