No problem with the luxury just basketball is one of my least favorite sports to watch. Sadly smu only has one sport that I can watch.

I used to feel that way. Read phil Jackson's book, read loose balls and watch the fab five documentary. The more I watch the more I like.

He'll get some UDFA looks for sure (great measurables and teams need camp arms) but no way he lasts in the league. He simply doesn't throw downfield well enough. Mumme's dink and dunk is making him look a lot better than he actually is.

Agree on Gilbert and Burcham. Gilbert has guts and has not turned ball over.
I was very impressed with Burcham. He had a presence out there. Cool, and calm. He was decisive, made some nice throws, was decisive and nice scramble before finding receiver on dump off.

Burcham did well. He doesn't have GG's arm strentgh but he did do well.

I think Neal has some true talent. He threw with precision my worry with him is he doesn't let the play develop. He already knows what receiver he wants and go with him before the snap.

Yenga and Bordano made sacks on consecutive plays before Burcham came in.
If they can play close to Yuri Yenga or Chris Bordano level, then lets see more

1) GG is a gamer. I agree we'll see him in the league allbeit a backup. We'll surely miss him after this season but Burcham looks ready although we didnt see much of him.
2) JaBryce got some time at WR and looked good. Showed some sure hands.
3) June made some gutsy calls with the fake punt and going for it on 4th down on two or three occasions.
4) Burcham got some snaps and looked good.

That's all I can think of.
