2024 college football and Draft prospect discussion.


Recommended Posts

I don't have a dog in the USC vs LSU race.

But after watching Brian Kelly go for it on 4th n goal with a 0-0 tie in the 1st QTR.

Which is absolutely stupid & far to common in the NFL as well?

I now hope USC upsets LSU because of that stupidity.

Kick the FG in those situations you idiot.(Kelly)

I understand there are circumstances to go for it on 4th down. I'm not opposed to being aggressive, in certain situations.

But when you have a big fat goose egg on the board?

Take the pts. (Specially, that early in the game) Momentum is such an underrated factor in football. (Sports in general, actually)

I hope LSU loses by 3.

That is all.

LSU is Wide Receiver University like Penn St years ago was LB University. They don’t miss a beat losing Nabers/Thomas. 
Kyren Lacy will be 24 in a few months but the guy can play. 

I mean, Lacey was a stud last year too.

I've noticed the officiating in this game has been pretty good. All these close calls I've felt, have been reviewed & decided correctly.

There's not been 1 call, where I thought they got wrong, or controversial.

Is this the norm, or rare? I don't watch a lot of college ball, so I'm sincerely asking.

And if so?

Why can't the NFL be this good, or consistent?

It seems like every NFL game I watch, there's some controversial call.

I don't know....

I guess, I'm just pointing out that it's nice to watch a game & feel that there's not 1 team getting calls that hugely benefit one team or the other with questionable officiating.

Am I alone in this observation?

If Brian Kelly decides to kick the FG, instead of going for it in the 1st QTR with the score 0-0?

It would currently be 20-20 tie game. LSU ball at the 2 minute warning. Inside the red zone.

....

Instead...it's 20-17 USC, with LSU ball inside red zone, with a chance to tie or get a FG.

27-20 USC.

Good job USC.

But again, I go back to the 4th Down attempt instead of FG there.

When you fail on going for it on 4th & fail?

You don't just leave pts off the board when you fail, but you change the momentum of the game.

Not taking anything away from USC, because they tough & smart. And they're a good hoot all team.

But Coach Brian Kelly lost that game, imo.

All because he didn't take the FG, to go up 3-0 early in the 1st QTR.

Maybe you can get away that vs Chattanooga?

But not a major ranked opponent.

Ok...that's my 1 watched college game of the year. Lll

Brian Kelly might not survive another year at LSU if he doesn't make the CFP. Coach O got them a national championship - granite with mostly Les Miles’s players - but still Brian Kelly just hasn't gotten the program back up to that level again yet.
