College Football Matchups This Weekend...

The Browns Board
51 10 777
  • 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

    Reminds me of Andrew Luck.

    Yeah, there's something about him that makes that team know they can compete against upper echelon teams this year.  Is this what they mean when they say "It Factor"???  Last year, their QB (Kurtis Rourke) was pretty much limited to the pocket.  Hearsay told me he had played in spite of 2 bad knees which made what he did somewhat admirable if true.  Unfortunately in certain matchups that could pressure the passer - it ball and chained the poor guy.

    One thing I heard about Mendoza (I think from McShay?) is that one concern regarding Mendoza is how he does when his first option in the passing game isn't there. He said something about how it can get a little squirrelly when he has to go through his progressions. 

    But he definitely looks like Flacco or Palmer. He's got AFC North size for sure. 

    I'm pissed I couldn't watch the Indiana vs Oregon game. How did Moore look in comparison?

    Moore made some nice throws but he didn’t show much in the way of escapability and he made one real boneheaded throw in crunch time in to double coverage that was intercepted. IUs defense (especially the linebackers) were eating him alive all game long to the tune of 6 sacks and 2 INTs.

    I was pretty impressed with the Hoosier defense. They held Oregon’s offense to half the points it was used to scoring and tallied 8 TFLs along with the sacks and INTs.

    Oregon’s rushing attack looked better than their passing attack yesterday.

    Interestingly Mendoza relied on 4 players to catch all the passes yesterday, 2 wideouts, a TE and a RB. That would suggest he’s not being asked to do a whole lot of scanning the field. Moore completed passes to 9 players in comparison.

    He had some Late INTs trying to make plays.  He leaves the pocket a lot but he’s not an elite Justin fields type scrambler.   I thought he held onto the ball too long and took some coverage type sacks. 
     

    We have a better QB starting for us today

    OU is much deeper than IU at the skilled spots.  They recruit on an OSU level there.

    He actually had a torn acl and was playing with it which is extremely admirable.

    You gotta love that!   How about the commercial where Oregon fans are tailgating  and One 1 squid is dressed as the Duck/Mascot; and suddenly some oblivious guy shows up and says something like: "Are we READY?  Hey I got all kinds of ducks we can power grill..."
