🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs LSU

[OldPlayer]

Good - Offense looked sharp for the most part. Defense looked sharp for the most part. Mac, Najee and Devonta should all be in the Heisman conversation.

Bad - Bryce Young isn't living up to the hype.

Ugly - CNS had a chance to hang 70 on LSU and didn't. The entire second half was in second gear.

Bryce Young is a true freshman

So was Tua.

So was Tua.

As I read the quote and was scrolling that same thought popped into my head. Only difference I can think of is the impact of 2020 Covid may be having. Has this had an impact on reps and Bryces ability to get more coaching. Can't recall but did Tua come in early so got early spring reps or did he come at the start of the summer his freshmen year?

CBS is trying to get extra $ because Dish dropped them. FWIW I am doing fine with OTA antenna.

Can anyone explain this? CBS is constantly scrolling a message to DISH subscribers - the same subscribers who can't see the message, because Dish has dropped CBS! It's like calling a phone number that doesn't exist!

All CBS (Channel 42 in Birmingham) is accomplishing is covering up the score/down & distance/ etc. so I can't see this information. I have Directv & an OTA, so they are sending the message (ie screwing up my viewing) to the wrong group.

This is an annual thing that occurs. Both business are in the negotiation stage and posturing to get negotiation leverage.

I know that. But he was the #1 dual-threat QB recruit in the country. He was touted as a potential starter on day 1. I've seen some bright spots, but I don't think he's lived up to expectations. We can make a lot of excuses why, but the facts are the facts.

Your local CBS stations are what was scrolling through every so often. Dish is dropping LOCAL stations because of cost, they will still have CBS but you won’t get it because of the LOCAL issue. Buy or build an OTA 4K antenna. I bought 1 for $20 on Amazon a year ago for the bedroom but the home made works far better.

Tua played one impactful half of football, so how can you even compare? While the game he played against Vanderbilt was awesome, it was Vanderbilt after all. On top of it, teams, wink wink Georgia, were not practicing for him and his arm, rather than the run with Jalen. Comparing Bryce and Tua isn't apples and apples in my mind.

What true freshman quarterback is actually living up to the hype this year? Not excuses when lack of practice is a truth.

Good- Mac to Smitty is a deadly combination!! The offense as a whole is a Death Machine!!

Bad- Smitty’s 3rd TD grab in the back of the end zone before the half!! That young man is going to be VERY VERY RICH in the very near future!

Ugly- Orgeron in a purple shirt looks like Grape Ape! He is a total asshat!! His tantrum after Smitty’s 2nd TD was beautiful though!

With no spring ball to build anything off of. But yes, it still remains he is not quite ready(very largely because of said lack of spring ball). Probably should have redshirted this season because of spring ball getting canceled.

This year won't count for anyone. Smith and Najee could come back for another year if they wanted to.

Wasn't that his second start after getting a couple of weeks with all reps with the ones?

Yeah. BC was other i think...stilll a freshman getting job done...i was impressed...
And his job ...any class really...at ND was good

Yeah, I can agree with you on that. He was #1 before Bryce leaped him. Bryce did upstage him in two games last season though, although DJ won state over Bryce.

Bryce will be fine. He hasn't been the benefactor of anything going the right way since he came to Tuscaloosa due to the virus, so give him time. Most said the same about Najee as well, the former #1 recruit in the country. Rivals questioned their call on him after his Sophomore year, but obviously now they are gloating in his greatness the past two years.

The non- spring hurt Young. We definitely need a spring season in 21. Lots of holes in O

I think Young will be fine.
It was funny how he was to be starter by mid season according to many. Look forward to his taking team and being a start. Paul Tyson too.

Does Mac come back?

Does Mac come back?

Not a chance IMO. Will be 1 of 1st 3 QBs taken
