I'm all for sending a few colleges down to FCS, considering all these teams are making the move up. EMU has the longest bowl drought with no end in sight and Idaho is maybe the hardest job in the country, as you said. Especially with Boise State becoming what they have become. As for ULM, maybe they should be but their recent success and wins against SEC schools will likely prevent it.As well they should. It's doubly hard to attract the athletes necessary to compete at the FBS level when you have a 16,000 seat stadium in a remote part of the country. Most of their recruits come from 500-1,000 miles away in California. Takes money to recruit those athletes. Furthermore, they are returning to the Sun Belt because the Mountain West doesn't want them due to size and location. That's going to be travel expenses out the yingyang when your closest conference member is a thousand miles away. Besides, their other sports are in the Big Sky.
While they are going would they please take Eastern Michigan and ULM with them? EMU couldn't compete with the better Division II schools in attendance and ULM's budget is about half of the FBS' next lowest member and below that of many FCS colleges.

Lincoln also started last year (2012) a good amount of games while Boutwell was out/limited.I'd say Daryl Mason. Started the bowl game and was a starter when the season 1st started.

Right. We all know about all there is to know (or lack thereof). I say this with no sarcasm, I just hope he's 100% going into spring.I think it is pretty apparent what is occurring with the injury situation
-
No, I really don't know. The important thing is that he got the redshirt. I'm sure Vito will ask Mac how he's progressing injury wise before spring ball starts.Billy, can you or anyone update some of us on Dajon's true injury situation unless that is not for public consumption.

On offense Y'Barbo and Lemon will be some obvious leaders and likely captains, Y'Barbo for sure. Also Jimmerson has started to take on a more vocal role and more of a leadership role. He'll likely be one of two scholarship backs healthy in the spring and hopefully continues to grow as a leader of the running backs and the offense.
On defense Akunne and Lee are the multi-year starters and seniors. Both will for sure be leaders but also James Jones. He was one of the more vocal guys on the defense this year and he can hopefully step into more of a leadership role this year.

Nice! Dajon Williams was in that top 100 at the beginning of last year. That's the Lonestar top 100, put together by the UT rivals page. The rivals top 100 for Texas is this one.

Top 100 player in the state according to at least one list is good. Kid is dynamic.
-
Where do you see Ivery in the state top 100?I don't think Simon landed a state top 100.
Dickey landed Booger, Jonas Buckles, Jamario.
Dodge landed Riley.
Would Willie Ivery be Mac's first state 100?
-
I'd imagine Darius Terrell, who came on a little at the end of the year, will be playing with a chip on his shoulder as well. Playing with plenty of emotion will not be a problem.Man, I hope Wallace turns out to be great, because this is the type of game in which he will be off the chain. UT offered him.

True, although religious missions can stop the clock. Most of BYU's players play one year, go on a mission for two, and come back as redshirt freshman or sophomore but are in their 4th school year out of high school. That's the only exception I know.Your "5 to play 4" as soon as you ENROLL full time in any 2 or 4 year institution of higher learning. Nothing can stop the clock. You don't even have to attend a single day of classes, enrollment is the trigger.

What an awesome senior class. They got a lot of praise this year and they deserved every bit of it.
-
Georgia had a preseason first-team all SEC qb to pull away from us. Texas has a much maligned and often injured David Ash as well as Tyrone Swoopes who completed just 38% of his passes this year. Difference is we don't have those seniors like Brelan and Zach Orr. However, if we can keep it close early and get a rhythm going on offense without turning the ball over much then I think we'll keep it close until the end this time. Of course they aren't scared of us, but we aren't scared of them. Of course they will be favored and will likely win, but this in not an unwinnable game.
-
Exactly. That hurry-up offense, hitting the quick routes play after play made him look like a completely different qb than when we were pounding the ball and only throwing on second and third down from under center and play action. You could tell he was much more confident and comfortable in that rhythm.My issue with DT, and still remains my issue...is the offense was not suited for him. When they hurried it up, played quick snap move-down-the-field-in-large-chunks offense, DT was amazing. Remember when we talked about them "lifting the chains?" DT was awful when we ran at a brick wall (90% of last year.)
-
Yup, it was a great, big-time throw. He read the one-on-one matchup on the outside and put it right on the money. Why would I want to change the history that he wrote? He was a good qb and I'm very grateful for what he did.Yeah it really looked like he had a lot of trouble throwing down field on that pass to Darnell Smith in the bowl game. Being the number 2 QB in school history and MVP in one of only three bowl wins in history can only take you so far with some knuckleheads . You no longer have DT to kick around. I just thank The Lord that our coaching staff never listened to this board and we had the season we had in spite of all the DT haters. Just let it rest his place in history is written you will never change it.
My point was that the short stuff really helps build the qbs confidence. It seemed like DT was missing early on with the longer routes and then hit a bunch of the shorter and intermediate routes which got his confidence up. That's true for any qb and I hope we do that with our new qb to ease him in and help open up our offense downfield. That's what I'm getting at.
-
Point 2 and 3 are the most important. That's what seperates the running qbs and the athletes playing quarterback. Making the plays with their legs after the play has broken down or he has already progressed through his reads. Running before that messes with the offense.
Also, Bortles is a pretty good runner. If he wasn't surrounded by all these true dual-threats he would be touted as a Big Ben type runner.
-
I'm with Eastwood. That is very interesting, and I remember you posting that in another thread. Do you or your intel think he could still be the starter? That seems like something that is very fixable.I've been told by several members of the team that Dajon was beating out DT last fall until the coaches opened up the playbook. It was just to much for him to grasp that early on in his development, but all the players say he has BIG play potential all over him.
One player then told me "Brock would've been the starter hands down if he would just stop trying to do all that johnny manziel shit and just go out there and play". The coaches didn't trust him to take care of the ball and that's why McNulty (for obvious reasons) was our #2 for the majority of the year.
I can't wait to see what Greer can bring to the table this spring, but if I were to choose now I would say Dajon.

And that bottom is almost entirely in our division starting next year. 1-11 Southern Miss, 1-11 UAB, and 2-10 UTEP. Not to mention 4-8 La Tech whose wins came against UTEP, Southern Miss, FIU, and Lamar. Not to turn this into a conversation about next year's team, but man those 4 games along with Nicholls State should give us 5 automatic wins.Correct. How embarrassing. CUSA was 3-3, SBC 2-0. Just shows CUSA is not as bad as everyone thinks. Problem is the bottom is really really bad.
Congrats Arkansas State and Arkst fan. One of my former teammates is a promising freshman defensive end Chris Odom.

Wow. As a Titan fan cool to see 2 recent high draft picks in Wright and Zaviar Gooden (#56) not even among the top 50 players in their class in the state. Plenty of talent will always slip through the cracks. Hopefully we'll be in position to get guys after they fall through only about 4-6 cracks rather than hoping they fall through 9-11 cracks.Kinda funny looking at some of those list... That year Jacquizz Rodgers & Kendall Wright were 80 & 81 in the state
-
Against Allen? No, guess I wasn't paying close attention on kickoffs.Billy,
Did you see Xavier running down on Kickoff? He even made a tackle.
Edit: realized you're probably talking about the Semper Fi game. If so please give more info on X's performance. I don't get FS1 at the house I'm at right now.

Haha, it isn't an option. They're just a team who offered him. And yes, just clarifying for those who didn't know the difference or didn't actually see who offered him on the recruiting profiles.Consider yourself one of 5 people in the metroplex that do.
Yes, Billy, I assumed NDS because why would ND even be an option?
And why am I abbreviating a FCS schools?

At about 7:45 Kaho is taking a knee listening to the d-line huddle. Also an Anthony Wallace appearance.

Yup. He was #52 on Rivals Texas top 100.Riley ?
-
I didn't direct my comment at you. It was for anyone who was unsure or thought it might have been NDSU who offered him. 90 mentioned Fargo and appeared to be confused about which North Dakota school offered Xavier, but I did not direct my comment at him either. Just wanted to clear up any confusion or potential confusion.My point was people from North Dakota said it was -18 degrees there. I know the difference between the two schools.

Okay, so that's who that guy was on the sidelines. You can see him over by the sideline d-line huddles in Beyond The Green. And in the locker room.

Emmitt and Greg are both spot on. There's nothing scary about their roster except maybe Jonathan Gray. Brown and Bergeron are good bruisers as well. I also feel like Jonathan Gray may be breaking down. He played 64 games and had over 1200 carries in high school. Aledo may have out too much tread on those tires.

Appalachian State got votes after beating Michigan in 07. They deserve votes after 3 straight national championships IMO.
