College Football Season Open Thread.

[Goalpost]

OK.... RB Nick Singleton is officially on my radar list.

Wooo long day of College Football Michigan vs Texas at noon and Boise State vs Oregon at 10pm. Need to pace myself and mix in random glasses of water  . It's good to have football season back lol.

[*Synric*]

I was not expecting that Texas at Michigan game at all...

You were expecting the best DT group in college football to consistently get washed and bullied off the line in the run game? Not to mention Mason Graham rushing from a wide alignment ALOT. Was some weird stuff in that game from Michigan.

It's been a day an it's not over it's 1am and Boise State is giving #7 Oregon all they can handle. Jesnty is at 22/188/3TDs at 10minutes left in the 4th. Insane.


Oops forgot it's a tie game at 34 to 34 lol.

After watching Michigan struggle hard with Fresno State last week it was a given Texas would smash them.

Yea that didn't happen. The QB struggled but other than that the team as a whole was good especially the defense.

Late with this busy week if you consider fishing busy lol.


Matchups:
Missed Tetairoa McMillian vs Kstate defense.

Kentucky vs Georgia is a strong matchup of IDL Deone Walker vs one the best IOL groups in CFB.
South Carolina vs LSU puts SCs freshman edge vs Campbell and Jones. TJ Sanders should get a couple matchups vs the LSU Tackles too.
Virginia vs Maryland is a matchup of Tai Felton and Kaden Prather vs thr Virginia secondary S Jonas Sanker.

Boston College vs Missouri might have the best matcup of the weekend with BC CB Amari Jackson against WR Luther Burden.

Devin Neal RB Kansas put together another 100 yard game in a losing effort against UNLV (3-0). He's at 45 for 333, 7.4ypc 2 TDs. Great first cut; I like him as a potential day 3 pick.

Apparently it's illegal to call targeting on a Georgia player. That was pretty textbook and they don't even review it. And i'm still not over the Harrison hit a couple years ago in the playoff that was inexplicably overturned to no targeting.

[TecmoBengals]

Someone start the chatter week-after-week on the top DL players available.

Sai'vion Jones, LSU, DE, 6'5/6'6 280 ish.  Thru 3 games, 8 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 TFL. 2 forced fumbles, 1 pass broken up.  It's early though.  He came into the year with some questioning his skill set.  He could even develop into a 3T.

#35 plays that 34DE role. Weak side 4t/5t with a little hand in the dirt 6t. He may be able to compete as the LDE in the Bengals 4 man fronts though. 


LSU vs South Carolina was a great game watched it last night lol.

Synric- What's your opinion on Harlod Perkins from LSU?

He plays a similar role to what Akeem Davis-Gaither did at App State. That star/lb role that reduced to a blitzer/situational edge rusher. Dude is as physically gifted as they come for a stack linebacker but this will be his second year as a starter at the LB position. You can see him developing into a Devin White at the NFL level fairly quickly.

[*Synric*]

South Carolina Gamecocks might have the best defensive line in college football. In a couple of years we will all be mentioning Esge Dylan Stewart but for 2023 Edge Kyle Kennard and DT TJ Sanders are names to watch. Kennard a transfer from Georgia Tech might be the most disruptive edge defender in CFB through the first 3 weeks.

[*Synric*]

Not alot of great matchups that I see this week.

USC vs Michigan is my matchup of the weekend USCs C Jonah Monheim vs Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant.
Kansas vs WVU we get to see RB Devin Neal vs WVU downhill running attack.
NC State vs Clemson Phil Mafah vs NC front 7.
Tennessee vs Oklahoma Vols I want to get eyes on WR Chris Brazzell 6'5 200 redshirt sophomore who might declare.

Louisville starts a run against credible offenses at GT this weekend. Louisville Ashton Gillotte power DE late day 2 and Thor Griffith climbing day 3 DT. Griffith had crazy stats at Harvard and seems like he's continuing a high level of play.
Ole Miss (Princely Umanmielen DE late 1st/early 2nd) has one more week they should win before they start their "real" SEC schedule.
