The first thing that popped into your head was but Russell Wilson, and I will gladly remind you that Russell Wilson set the NCAA record for consecutive passes without an interception. Johnny can make plays out of nothing, but he's a raw product with average physical ability.

Who, you ask, would take Manziel? Probably most teams depending on value. If I asked myself who would be the best fit? Where would he be most dangerous?

Unquestionably, I would say Chip Kelleys Philadelphia Eagles.

Appears to be no love lost between the Bielema's and Wisconsin. Here is his wife's reaction to Wisconsin kinda getting hosed last night by the officials:

Arm strength isn't about how far you can throw, but velocity. I mean, he got incredibly lucky in that game as well. That prayer he chucked up to the middle of the field? I still have no idea how Alabama let that get completed. Geez.

Penn State got jobbed in the UCF game, not that it matters this year.

If O'Brien sticks, that's going to be a reallllllllllllllly good program when NCAA sanctions lift and Hackenberg keeps growing.

I don't want Johnny Jackass anywhere near this team we got enough trouble dealing with immaturity with Miller

FSU destroyed Nevada. Of course.

Tennessee's worst loss since 1910.

Christ, two years before that the cubs won a world series.

ESPN College Game Day is in Fargo for the NDSU vs. Delaware St. game . . . pretty much three blocks from my apartment downtown. Look for me on TV tomorrow boys!

[Rohirrim]

Some of these matchups are just an embarrassment. The games shouldn't even be held.

I do think there are some arm strength and maturity issues with Manziel that will concern NFL teams.

I'm down here in the middle of SEC country, and I always enjoy the LSU/Bama game. I don't think LSU will beat Bama this year, but I believe they have a better chance than any other SEC team. I think the winner of Obama/LSU wins the SEC championship and plays for the national championship.

Because they have played like absolute trash so far. HTF is the No. 5 team in the country only beating Army by 2 touchdowns. And they didn't destroy San Jose St. either. I wouldn't be remotely shocked if they lost at home this week to ASU...in fact I picked ASU to win.

BTW...good to see you posting again, Pat.

Executives agree on this about him "above average nfl arm , excellent accuracy and touch , excellent instincts" theyre weary of his height and build. This kid is special. Hes got so much confidence and swagger hes a person id love to lead my team.

Ryan Leaf Part II

I suppose I could be wrong. After all, Skip Bayless says he's the next great star of the NFL.

Yeah I should be around more often again...went on hiatus for a few years there.

And I love Stanford's defense, think their offense definitely has some kinks to work out but that D is going to win them games. It may not be pretty wins but they will hammer out W's with their defense.

If ASU does win though I'll be sure to eat some crow about it. I really dont think it'll happen and ASU shouldn't even be undefeated right now to begin with, but if they can go to Stanford in win then thsts a HUGE statement.

[SouthStndJunkie]

Ohio State is up 55-0 in Florida A&M at the half.

Urban Meyer would try to score a hundred points on his mother.

I think Ohio State backup QB Kenny Guiton is better than Braxton Miller, who is always banged up.

Kenny Guiton has 6 passing TDs in the first half....I know it's Florida A&M, but that's still impressive.

[SouthStndJunkie]

Toledo is up 21-14 on Central Michigan in their MAC opener in Mount Pleasant.

Road games at Central Michigan have given Toledo fits in recent seasons.

[FADERPROOF]

Cordale Jones in at QB for Ohio State now, Kenny G's day is done.

[FADERPROOF]

61-0 now, new QB and same result
