Bama has played Duke, New Mexico State, South Carolina, Southern Miss. How does anyone know if they are really good?

That was worth a new thread? I am going to have to move this thread to hide it.

Well, maybe. Memphis has a lot of "me" guys. Everyone will be expecting to have the ball, we will see how that works out. My money is on USF for this year.

USF should be atop the AAC this year.

I hope that QF finds a long term home. He certainly deserves some financial success.

Especially if Pitt goes a 2 high Safety configuration. If they stay 1 high, DG will burn them for 30 yards per completion. Pick your poison Pitt.

Heupel put DG in some bad situations against FAU. Heupel is still learning how to use DG IMO. Its his second game, pretty small sample. Let's see how he does vs. Pitt. I for one, thinks he will feast on the Pitt secondary.

Well done @Brad

You realize that the HC, fired Josh instead of his brother? Josh was sacrificed, and thank goodness he was. https://www.crimsonandcreammachine.com/2018/10/12/17967532/oklahoma-sooners-football-josh-heupel-ucf-bob-stoops-mike-stoops Under Heupel's watch, Missouri improved from 124th nationally in offense to 13th in 2016. Tigers quarterback Drew Lock set an SEC record with 43 touchdown passes this season, earning first-team all-conference honors. Pretty average in my book, nope https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/College-Football/2017/12/05/Central-Florida-tabs-Missouri-coordinator-Josh-Heupel-as-coach/7501512497213/

Average? He turned Missouri from a zero to a hero on offense. He was the 247 Coordinator of the year!

Not really, a focused recruit by Milton. https://theathletic.com/1204571/2019/09/12/staples-the-hawaiian-who-is-adding-to-ucfs-status-as-a-quarterback-paradise/ UCF coach Josh Heupel learned to expect the Friday night sales pitches. During dinners at the team hotel the night before a game, when players and coaches tend to be at their most relaxed, Knights quarterback McKenzie Milton would update Heupel on the exploits of the player who replaced Milton at Mililani (Hawaii) High. “He’d be talking about DG,” Heupel says. Among Milton’s dutiful reports to Heupel was one from last September. During a 35-0 win against Waianae, Milton relayed to his coach, Gabriel had passed Timmy Chang and Tua Tagovailoa on Hawaii’s all-time passing yardage list. UCF coaches had their first in-person meeting with Gabriel on his official visit last November. A day after his visit, Gabriel decommitted from Army. In December, Gabriel took official visits to Georgia and USC. Had he chosen to sign with the Trojans, it might be Gabriel and not fellow freshman Kedon Slovis who took over for the injured JT Daniels. But while Slovis was making his first collegiate start against Stanford on Sept. 7, Gabriel was breaking down his first collegiate start, a 48-14 win at Florida Atlantic in which he completed seven of 19 passes for 245 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Really. 30%? Dillon was 7/19.average completion NCAA leading 35+ yards per completion at FAU. His in-completes were on long stretch plays primarily. He should be revved up for Stanford, Wimbush is no longer a starter.

Here is the article I referred to, SIAP. https://projects.newsday.com/college-football-coaches-salaries-contracts/charlie-strong/

I thought Coach Srrongs buyout is 22 weeks pay, from what I heard on a radio show last week, per a review of his agreement. This article seems to confirm that, 192,000, if accurate. https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/ I saw other articles quoting 2M this year, 1.7M thereafter. I always ask fans, if you fire X person, who are you going to hire that is better? I think at this time of year, the number of available candidates is small, so someone would probably be promoted in an interim fashion.

Funny you should say that, i as a kid ( both my parents were from Terre Haute) when we would visit, I was struck by just that, the smell.

My oldest son was considering his engineering options. He had an offer from Rose Hulman, went for a visit, found my fathers memorial brick, and said Gpa, nope and nope, too cold. Strongly considered G tech , which had also contacted him, triple nope, nope, no, no pretty girls.

Very solid advice.

Totally agree. Willie listened, to his credit. Including Charlie Strong, when at the Ville
