They still can’t give Milroe time to throw downfield though. Not that he’d complete it. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSTSatchmo Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 Michigan had pretty much abandoned throwing downfield until that last drive. It’s crazy they were done, then the 4th and 2 happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t but if the NFL collectively said we are not drafting you until Round 4 if you quit your college team prematurely, that would stem a lot of this crap going on. Does a NFL GM really trust a player who has QUIT his team? It's not exactly the same, but it's somewhat similar in the NFL. You'll see teams this coming weekend not play starters long (if at all) because they have their playoff position locked in and don't want to risk injuries to key starters. As a fan, I wouldn't like Purdy not playing vs the Rams this weekend until the game was possibly out of hand. If I was the 49ers coach/GM, I probably would play Purdy for a few series just to keep him "warm"... a win or loss makes zero difference this weekend for SF/Purdy. I'd wager most of the NFL GMs view the "opting out" as not a big deal at all. With the 12 team expansion starting, we'll see much less of it. Players will doubtfully "opt out" when their team has a chance to advance to the next level with a win. Maybe I'm dead wrong on that... I haven't heard of any players opting out this year from Bama/Washington/Michigan/Texas. Maybe there were some, I just haven't heard of any. I'd highly wager the opt out players from these 4 teams combined were lower than any other 4 bowl teams combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hit the portal and left, but they weren’t getting PT anyway I’d imagine. I think Bama had one and Texas 6. Not sure about the other two. What we will have is a playoff team down a few TDs in the second half, and those future 1sr rounders sit the last quarter and a half*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 Washington - Michigan in the finale. At least both games were competitive and tight though the second tilted to WA from the start. 49 states will be for WA and MI will be for Michigan. Unless some of the other Midwest states pull for league mate. But the neutral states elsewhere will be Huskies Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 Kalen DeBoer took over Washington after they went 4-8 with an FCS loss in 2021. They’re 25-2 since. What an unreal turnaround. And Penix is a great story. Lightly recruited QB that starts out at Indiana but has injury issues. Goes to UW and turns into a superstar and likely first round draft pick.

Unionman76 Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 penix has a high spin rate on his passes, nice spiral he had several passes in a 1 foot square window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 The QB draft class this year is going to be really really good. Williams and Maye will go at the top and I get it but whoever ends up with Penix or Daniels should be really happy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted January 3, 2024 Share Posted January 3, 2024 Seemed to be more of a player issue than a coaching problem. They just did not have great talent defensively but I guess you can’t fire your players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted January 3, 2024 Share Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) Yeah when you have a Heisman QB putting up unreal numbers and still lose 3 games and are out of the Playoff conversation basically all season, it’s a big big defense problem.

rebmus Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 How often has the Fiesta Bowl come in behind: Texas Bowl Alamo Bowl Music City Bowl Liberty Bowl Sun Bowl ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 I can actually understand it with Liberty being in the Fiesta. Location wise Texas Bowl lined up perfectly having A&M and OK St, Alamo Bowl with Arizona and Oklahoma. Sun Bowl I can somewhat understand with how well Notre Dame fans travel regardless of opponent and bowl. Part of me was shocked with the Liberty Bowl but I was in Memphis the day before to catch the boat and town was rocking and ready to go. Was def surprised about the Music City Bowl. I thought the Gator Bowl would be higher. It was actually one of if not the best bowl games I watched and looked packed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
