College Football Matchups This Weekend...
-
Nothing says "We interrupt this marriage to bring you football season" quite like it. I have a plaque from my wife with that on it in the man cave. It comes in handy for her during "Revenge of the Warden season" when there's gymnastics, figure skating or dancing on TV when football is over...
I've actually gotten to like "The Voice" which she allows me to record when it conflicts with MNF as long as the next two nights we watch that and the Tuesday night recorded Voice on Wed night. ??

Thanks - me too Dutch! This is a reminder of how much more competitive the Big 10 has become in recent years. Indiana and Illinois used to be a gimme for the most part. I might be jumping the gun on Illinois (because they got their fannies tasered vrs Indiana). Aside from Mendoza, I'm looking forward to seeing WR Elijah Sarratt a lot more than Illinois was... We've already seen how good Oregon is on both sides of the ball vrs Penn State.
Here's some stats for Sarratt and info from Google...
Elijah Sarratt is a 6'2", 213-lb senior wide receiver for the Indiana Hoosiers. His 2024 season stats include 53 receptions for 957 yards and 8 touchdowns, with a standout performance in the Old Oaken Bucket game against Purdue. Career-wise, he has recorded 177 receptions for 2,847 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns across his college career, placing him second in the Big Ten for career receiving yards.
I’ve been banging the drum on Sarratt since last year. He really pops on the screen. Good hands and good shifty moves. I thought he was draft eligible last year.
I don’t know if he’s first round worthy, but l think he’s got the goods to make it in the NFL.

Yes - you have IBB. I think you talked about him again this year after Indiana beat Illinois decisively. I agree with you. I also like his 6'2" size to go with his hands and agility. Reminds me a little of Amari Cooper when he was coming out of Alabama. Speaking of Alabama, Indiana HC Curt Cignetti was Nick Saban's WR Coach at Alabama from 2007-2010.

Indiana/Oregon
OKLAHOMA for a QB look.
Alabama/Mizzou...two top ranked teams
Georgia/Auburn. Always a tough game for both.
LSU/S Carolina has appeal

There's some pretty good games this weekend, and possibly five draftable QBs in that short list, depending on if some of the players above declare early.
Oregon's Dante Moore is skyrocketing upward, but if he were to declare he'd have less than 20 college starts. I really do not like that.
Kid is super talented though.

Under the radar but ASU Utah should be a good game and there are some top end prospects in positions of need.
Spencer Fano OT Utah.
Jordan Tyson WR ASU
Caleb Lomu OT Utah
Sam Levitt QB ASU

Are any of them top 3 picks ?

Fano is the top tackle, but he seems to be a right tackle.
Jordan Tyson is the top WR, so maybe?

He is and I agree on starts.
I look at starts differently than most. I think the number of starts for a QB tells you more about a prospects floor over his ceiling.

Well done! He's also listed at 6'3" by ESPN. Here's what he's done statistically this year:
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

Last time I looked at Oklahoma they were beating Michigan. I was amazed at how well former Clemson DC and current Oklahoma HC Brent Venables had that defense playing. That shouldn't have surprised me but they were dominating a team that will be tough to beat in the Big 10.

I was wondering how tall he was, but I kind of wonder how legit that 6'3" is. I would have guessed he's around 6'1".
I was laughing my ass off last Sunday when they listed Dillon Gabriel as 6'0. ?

I saw that too! I could almost hear Doug Flutie yelling at his tv: "THERE'S NO WAY HE'S TALLER THAN 5'9" - NO WAY MAN!!!"

Oregon/Indiana is pretty good so far. IU apparently has a second longball place kicker that belted a 58 yarder to go up by 3 at the half.
-
OU/IU takeaway. I feel like the Browns will fall in love with Mendoza.
Doesn’t waver, plays smart football and puts the ball where it needs to be.
Looks like Carson Palmer Joe Flacco type QB

He looks like the better QB so far in this match up. Both teams are playing each other tough and l’m most surprised by IU’s defense.

…until the pick 6
-
How ‘bout them Hoosiers? Mendoza looked good, Sarratt looked good, but l would take a long look at IU’s Oline because those are some stout cornbread fed looking dudes who did a helluva job fending off Oregon’s vaunted Dline.

Mendoza did come off as an even keeled guy with a solid skill set, whereas Moore melted down at the end with bone headed throws.

Against OSU now will be the barometer if he plays well where he will be at a more extreme talent disadvantage. We are going to have endure another 3-14 to get him

I peeked at their schedule and they don’t play OSU this year. Their biggest remaining test is likely Penn State.
