Too bad Mendenhall is a sell out and has his own quota.

That Brock Purdy kid for Iowa St looked pretty damned good in their upset of WVU.

Didn’t see the West Virginia game today, but just looked at the stats. What the heck happened with Will Grier❓ 11 completions for 1oo yards????

Iowa St just played WVU really well. They dominated the line of scrimmage and WVU never made any adjustments. Grier was running for his life back there.

Did McCaffrey take the hand off or Scramble as a QB ? Might seem a dumb question, but, we get zero college news here. This site is a life saver !!

Patrick Laird of Cal, 17 carries for 94 yds

Their idiot of a headcoach took the job from Bowers who started all of their games last season and put in a very mediocre black quarterback who now has a 2/7 TD INT ratio. Cal has become a disappointment after being labeled as one of the better teams here during the write up process.

Watched the Bama-Mizzou blowout. I don't know if it is scheme or players, maybe both but the WR for Bama create the offense there, if you are 5 yards to the open on most plays even tired old me could hit you. The Poly hype that has him in Canton, I'll take the other side of that bet. One thing I see taking him down is that soon the whole village from some craphole island will ensconce themselves in T-town and from the looks of his brother all the drugs in town will flow thru their grass huts. Not that I don't blame his mother for being protective of him since no doubt Bama's program is rife with snakes top to bottom, but I see VIBRANCY brewing on the horizon.

Watched the NU-Nebraska game start to exciting finish. Nebraska looking like it is beginning to play Nebraska ball again and one snippet from the announcers was that 20 players have left Lincoln. The announcer might even get a memo from corporate about his comment "addition from subtraction."

I characterize this week as better. Improvement over the past two weeks but let me get the bad things out of the way first.

We have to be concerned about both WRs David Sills and Cody Thompson. Looked like surefire NFL draft picks before the season and still should be in my mind but we know the unwritten rules. White players are afforded very little slippage. Just ask Riley McCarron and Nick Williams not to mention countless others who never get a sniff, what happens to white NFL WRs who make a mistake, something black WRs routinely do but are rarely punished for it.

That said another BLACK HOLE team bites the dust. Last week it was Oklahoma and this week it was Georgia. But beware. Last year Georgia rebounded from a loss to Auburn and ended up in the Championship.

That is why I think it is important for Clemson, Ohio State and Notre Dame to go undefeated. Looks like Alabama is a lock although without their starting QB they could slip. Trouble is I find it unlikely that all the teams named above except Alabama will stay undefeated.

As usual there was tremendous play all over by white defensive players. I count perhaps up to 5 first round Edge players. Nick Bosa, Chase Winovich, Porter Gustin, Carter Coughlin (MINN) and Zach Allen.

Bosa was playing like the best player in college football before he got injured. Allen is a gigantic mauling type who can tip balls all day long. Gustin who has had injury issues is an animal. Coughlin has tremendous quickness around the edge. And Winovich proved last night he can take on bigger OL and play the run as well as the pass. Winovich is a jewel.

Nice to see BC clobber another black hole team and Glines had another solid day running the ball (17-107-1).

Always nice to see Miami bite the dust and I believe highly rated LB Dax Hollifield got significant playing time for Virginia Tech.

Notre Dame had a tough go with Pitt but hung tough. WR Finke had a nice day again (6-62) and QB Ian Book continues to impress. He had to deal with a brutal pass rush all day long. Tranquill is a stud on defense.

Otherwise caste nightmare Texas A & M has a keeper at TE Jace Sternberger who had a nifty 7-145-1 stat line in a win.

Some FCS news. Our man Zane Dudek must have been out again for Yale but speedster teammate WR JP Shofti had a big day with a 6-152-2 stat line in a Yale win.

WR Jesper Horsted had a 13-169-2 stat line in a Princeton win. Too bad UTC's Bryce Nunnelly had another quiet game.

Back to the Big Ten. The Northwestern game was a hoot and shouldn't WR Flynn Nagel be considered for the draft? He has been excellent all year. Great route runner and terrific hands. And QB Thorson is slowly but surely showing why he could still end up being a first round draft pick. He still has to get back his mobility and isn't quite 100% but he was chucking it yesterday against hapless Nebraska. Edge LB Luke Gifford has played well all year long for the Cornhuskers.

Iowa. If you are a member of CF and like college football and don't like Iowa you need to have your pulse checked. How can you not like a team where most of the defense is white. And they are damn good. Our Great White hope CB Riley Moss as mentioned above did get beat for a TD but I agree with the post above he was in position and the guy just made a great catch. Otherwise he looked great and he can tackle notching six for the day. Most CBs can't tackle worth a lick. DE Parker Hesse was in the Indiana backfield all day. Love this team.

Great to see creeping caste conglomerate Penn State eat dirt yet again. I do not like their HC and the more they lose the better at this point.

Michigan manhandled Wisconsin last night. As I predicted this Michigan team is nothing to sneeze at. Their QB Shea Patterson had an 80 yard sprint down the sideline. Remember like Thorson he is coming off an ACL tear and is not 100% in terms of running but he showed some serious speed on that run . This is a player that could skyrocket to the top of the draft. Great athlete. And then his backup, CM's kid brother Dylan showed off his wheels in a 44 yard sprint dash to pay dirt. Look out. Dylan M looks like a real diamond and should lead the charges next season if Patterson bolts for the NFL.

Word about BYU. Like some magic trick they looked totally different and vibrant once again. They started a freshman QB named Zach Wilson. Sleek and quick as can be this youngster lit it up with his legs and his arm. And they won handily. And some white WRs were getting some touches along with LB Matt Hadley who was moved over to RB and gobbled up a bunch of yards. Did the light switch finally come on over there in Provo?

Along with Flynn Nagel's great day there were a few more dandy WR performances that help take the sting away from the Sills/Thompson let down.

FIU's WR CJ Worton has a nifty 20-459-5 stat line for the year and he is only a junior. ( A transfer out of Florida). He is beginning to emerge. Thanks for the heads up above.

In a late night loss WR McClane Mannix had a big play stat line of 4-109-1.

And WR Scott Miller put on a show in a Bowling Green loss. How is 8-206-2 for a stat line.

Both Miller and Andy Isabella are two players the NFL like to skip over come combine time. They are the type who could light up the 40 and historically the NFL, perhaps I'm being paranoid, doesn't want white speedsters participating. I think they were caught by surprise by Apke last go around.

All I know is both Miller and Isabella more than deserve to be invited. Will the NFL chicken out like they always do?

Below, you have to sift, is Miller's 76 yard TD. Man is he fast. And like Isabella has been fantastic all year.

Hornibrook back to playing like crap. Wisconsin needs to start Coan!

Yes Hornibrook has been a disappointment - he never took the next step after his great bowl game vs. Miami. It's BS that Ryan Connelly is not getting any draft talk - he is all over the place - a very good LB.

One thing that pisses me off is how Brendan Schooler gets close to no playing time at all. He went from starting safety to starting receiver to 100% backup? I hope he transfers this year because I thought he was an NFL talent a couple years ago when he lit it up at safety as a true freshman. Not sure how all the transfer rules work these days but he should go to Arizona with his brother and move back to safety.

Another one of our guys who has fallen to backup this year is Jackson Anthrop, while I’m not gonna lie the true freshman Rondale Moore has been very impressive it just sucks that it came at the expense of a white player. Hopefully he transfers also because since he’s older he will probably never get that spot back and Moore also took his return duties away.

Good to see BYU lightening up a bit.....Shadowlight mentions the senior linebacker Hadley switching to RB.....My question is where is Hoge????.....And why not get Austin Kafentzis in the backfield again.....It’s not like he is starting on defense.....Switching Kafentzis was a waste......Back to Hoge for a sec....He was a part of their offense early in the first game and then dissappeared. Must be hurt......

I tried watching the Illinois game but was frustrated....Epstein with one carry late while their quota used him as a decoy every time and would run it himself....I wish Jeff George would’ve stayed.....He had his troubles last year, but wasn’t this bad......

Zane Dudek is hurt.....Yale doesn’t report these things, so we never know if he is going to play or not.....I want to see him get 4000 yards in his four years....This year will set him back.....

He's definitely regressed.

Connelly has looked great past few weeks! Started off year a bit slow butnhas been playing like a madman since! Took him some time to adjust to Badgers poor DL play.

Not that it is any surprise but the calls for Fromm to be benched are starting up. I just saw a clip when SEC Fanboy and tribesman Paul Finebaum stated that Kirby Smart should consider going with the younger (???? Fromm is a sophomore/black quarterback is a freshman) and more mobile qb like all the other teams are doing. We can see what the SEC is doing - all becoming HBCU rosters with their idiotic white fan bases cheering them on.

The calls for Fromm to be benched are well underway, and you can expect to be called RAYCISS if you don't see the obvious upside of the black quarterback.

A couple of Big Ten comments

Ill be cheering on Iowa rest of season to represent Big Ten West! Let's hope they can win out.

For Wisconsin i view them finishing out season at 8-4. Bit of a downer year but Hornibrook has not progressed since Orange Bowl and the defensive line is very weak. Hardly any depth. Lack of pass rush has been a pain the you know what, as well as inexperienced DBs.

Very impressed by Northwestern and specifically Flynn Nagel !

Michigan State has also hung tough and has a chance to play upset against Ohio St still!

From Frost's Monday press conference:

Nebraska would not have defended Northwestern receiver Flynn Nagel any differently, Frost said, after he watched film with Husker defensive coordinator Erik Chinander. Frost said Nebraska double-teamed Nagel on roughly 25 snaps. It's the defense Nebraska was in, Frost said, so much as the execution of the scheme.

"He's a good player," Frost said. "He beat us."



Hopefully, the SR WR can continue to put up some decent numbers for the rest of the season and get an invite to the combine.

With lead rusher Larkin out for the year, they will have to air it out mostly, so, barring injury, he should continue to put up some good numbers.

Sweet highlight video! Thanks for sharing. Nagel has had a solid career(2 400yd year's last 2 season's)leading up to his SR. Breakout season! Already 622 in 2018!
