Devin Turner to Baylor

You totally missed the point I was making. There are people on this site that week in and week out during the season make comments that our roster is composed of Ivy League talent. It’s not.
The bottom half of the roster, including most of the starting offense, is, unfortunately (okay, not literally ivy league talent, but G5 talent).

Defensively, yeah we still have some dogs in there, no doubt. We just lost three of the.l biggest dogs, but at least we’re on track making acquisitions. Still need several more.

Conferences need to figure out their scheduling

These unbalanced schedules with mega conferences just don’t work. Too much is being determined by who you draw in your league schedule and these first two games is a clear example of that. If I was the SEC I would split back into East/West. You’d have one division that is mostly traditional SEC schools and then the west would be the old Big 12 Schools, Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss.

Big Ten and ACC need to go into PODs. Once the Big ten goes to 20 you can probably do it easier with 4 pods of 5.

SMU QB Preston Stone

Jennings isn't terrible, he's having a bad game against a great defense. Entering this game, in 2024 he's completed 66% of his passes for 3050 yards at 8.9 ypa, with 22 TD and 8 INT, plus 5 more rushing TD on 4.1 ypc. That's not Heisman-caliber but it's very good.
Both head coaches are tripping balls too. Going in fourth aggressively is smart, but this has been psychotic on both sides and consistently been a disaster.

This game looks like last night though. One team has genuinely elite talent on the defensive side of the ball and the other team is just a very good overall college football team that isn’t necessarily stockpiled with 4-( star NFL style talent across the whole team, and the disparity is clear.

Who did he beat?

He looks like a deer in the headlights. I’m unimpressed.

Wasn’t SMU in the AAC last season? 😂

New recruits -lack of comments

Couldn’t agree more. Their timeless work far outweighs having to deal with @CappyNU as a moderator.
This remains my only objection. I genuinely miss the coverage of the portal this time of year.

As for the transfers, Farrell isn’t a big impact get for 2025, he’s a young player they must have liked out of school. He’s not some mega recruited guy or a big contributor on an awful Stanford team, so we’ll just have to see.

OT Xavier Gray was the big impact guy along with Karlaftis. All CUSA guy from a good program stepping up to presumably be an immediate P2 starter.

Karlaftis is clearly coming in to be an impact guy, but I’m not sure if it’s one I’m excited about. He was a central figure on, but not a standout within, a genuinely pathetically dreadful defense. However, we probably just need to trust Braun and McGarigle on this one. It certainly qualifies as acquiring an intended starter.

Lol, I have been watching the game while doing other work.

SMU’s starter is TERRIBLE. Do they want P$U to embarrass them? Or is Stone just worse?
