The thing that scares me is Louisville, for example, have elite players at WR, RB, and QB. Elite.
As a longtime USC fan, I wouldn't describe Miller Moss as an "elite" QB. Above average? Yes. Elite? No.
I think people would have said the same about the Louisville QB from last year. Braum has his ...

Re: Practice Observations - August 9
First, thank you so much. I have checked this site several times hoping for one of your writeups (and PonyPrideΓÇÖs too of course).
Is Bates clearly ahead of Uter, Anderson, and Woods, and with him playing is that our best five? Would they consider moving PJ or Byrd to guard, putting Chamblee in ...

Re: Practice Observations - August 9
Thanks Jason.
I get on the NFL level of players with SMU and Clemson. I can also gain comfort that Clemson also had a lot more NFL players on their roster last year and we were right there with them. Clemson's guys are obviously a year older and I see articles that 4-6 may go in the first round. We ...

Practice Observations - August 9
Had the chance to go watch the full practice today, and wanted to share some thoughts. I'll give my thoughts on individuals and position groups and then hit my conclusion at the end....

Re: One month out...Ceiling and Floor for SMU this year...
Because I drive down to Central Virginia often, I listen to a Charlottesville radio station. Its probably hype, but they are saying UVA will be improved this year, because of their offensive line. They did hang with us for about 3 quarters last year. So, they might pull an upset or two this year ...

Re: One month out...Ceiling and Floor for SMU this year...
Don't underrate how much more difficult the schedule is this season. We did things last year like pull out the Duke game even though we made a ton of mistakes. We @Clemson, Miami, and Louisville this year if that happens, of course, but Baylor, @TCU, Syracuse, @Wake and @BC are all going to be ...

Right before the season, after fall practice:highlander wrote:What was your pre-season prediction last year?
So, I have us at 9-3. Great QB play gets us to 11-1. Injuries on the OL and CB put us at 7-5.

Friday practice event
Finally got to go out to see the team for the first time this Spring at the Friday event... here are some thoughts by position group:
- QB: Jennings has put on some muscle, which will really help him out next season. Hawkins is legit, and I think is actually probably a solid backup option in the ...

Re: Linebacker room
This year:
1) Walker - Wilson
2) Kilgore - Miyazano
3) Medlock - Booker
4) Smith - Lee, where Lee was really a special teams guy.
We lose the two starters, and then Lee from special teams. Kilgore is clearly ready to start, and Barker is being brought in to start with him. Ferm will provide depth ...

Thoughts on the Penn State game
Last report of the season... this one will be pretty short.
- First and foremost, what an awesome season. We are way ahead of where the program should be in year one of the ACC. This is only the beginning. Yes, we were a little fortunate with a down year for the ACC. And yes, as much as there is a ...

Unfortunately, I some conflicts have hit me and I'm not able to make the trip up for the game (I have tickets if anyone needs one)... but knowing that so many are travelling Friday morning, I thought I would get this out a day earlier than usual so that everyone has a chance to read it before the ...

Re: Penn state vs SMU recruits ranking comparison
From the eye test compared to the PFF ratings:
LT Shelton is underrated and is probably better than Byrd right now.
NB Tracy has really gotten better as the season went along and looks very good, I would give them the advantage there.
At DT, 91 and 28 are both really underrated. 28 is their Elijah ...

Re: Penn state vs SMU recruits ranking comparison
I think it is important to point out that:
1) While Penn State is at 11, most outsiders would be surprised to see SMU at 25 in their first year in a power 4 conference.
2) Clemson is actually much higher in the rankings than Penn State is, and we did okay against them.
3) their best players are ...
