That should do it I think to hosting a regional. A very impressive showing today in both games.

Look....if players want to sue willy-nilly because they don't like a rule, or they got their feelings hurt, then I have no problems with the university suing any of these players for things like this.

Two wins and I think we get a regional, one win and I think it’s around 35-40% chance we get it, 0 wins we have very little shot of getting a regional

I always appreciate a few night games a season, it provides a unique atmosphere compared to day games. Friday games though are not appreciated since it cuts into high school football and it's difficult for some to attend on a weekday.

Huge series, hoping we can take 2 out three, but it will be a big ask. Might come down to if we can hold a lead late.

Put me down for 11-1, they'll lose a game that shouldn't. I actually don't mind Notre Dame overall at this point. Probably because they have a coach that I actually like in Freeman. Their AD on the other hand is a whiner who should be forced to choose a conference to join.

It will be the tackles that will determine if the line improves or not. If Fox Crader and either Bennett, Rodgers, or Iheanacho are a step up from last year. Interior will be very good I think, veterans are NFL players, and the other guard spot will have enough talented contenders that I'm not worried about it.

He'll get some time, but it will be a lot to ask for him to start. If he does I think it will be at RT instead of Moore's blindside.

That's where I am with him. The arm, the mechanics, the anticipation, all of that is there for him, but let's be honest, he panicked multiple times against the best defenses we faced. To his credit he also stood strong at times when he was needed (Penn St. and Iowa).

It always starts with the O-line. The tackles were not at the level that you need to win a national championship last year. Harkey and World were okay, but they struggled against the elite defenses. World in particular was a disappointment honestly with how much people were talking about his potential. Harkey was always going to be a player who was fine but wasn't what you would expect from a truly great offense. The hope obviously is that Crader and Bennett provide better protection. Crader in particular has the potential to be very good in pass-pro. It wouldn't hurt if Pancho and Iuli take the next step as well. Our WRs could be special, Johnson is a very good TE, Olesh was a extremely highly recruited TE coming into the year last year, Harrison could be special. The RBs have the best power/speed combo that we've had in a long time. The QB has the tools (I'm more down on him than most, but I can see what others see). It's all there for a championship caliber offense, only question is really the tackles in my opinion.

I will have my doubts until I see it. The Payne pick up gives me some pause since it looks like another guy who played for bad teams, was able to put up a lot of shots, pretty much a slasher who isn't a good shooter. I guess he has some scoring potential though/. Aristode though has a lot of potential, he could be very good.

Sources: NCAA basketball tournaments set to move to 76 teams I'll be honest I don't see the need for this, if you can't make it in a tournament that has 68 teams, you simply don't deserve to be there. I would be okay with this if it only involves non-big 4 conference teams, I would much rather watch teams that came in 2nd in their league than the 11th best B1G team or the 9th best Big 12 teams.

Big win! Need as many ranked wins as possible. Need to get a sweep now against the Nittany Lions in order to bank wins and keep the momentum going.

Maybe, sometimes you can get by with that sort of talent, it takes a lot of buy in from the players, you need to get a bit lucky with development, and finding diamonds in the rough. I'm not sure if this is a Dana problem, a staff problem, or a NIL problem. Whatever it is, I think there's a good chance we have a new coach in charge by the start of the 27/28 season. I love Altman, but this is not looking good right now.

Top 100 transfer Portal Player Rankings Kind of says it all. One player (99th) in the entire top 100 for a team that needs as much talent as possible. That isn't going to get it done. I expect a similar if not worse season considering we're losing 3 legit starters.
