Michigan is up 7-0. Before the commercial the announcers said get ready to see one of the best players on the field in Aidan Hutchinson!

I’m a college student still, I don’t have as much experience watching football as some of the vets here, that being said, Brock Bowers is the best college football tight end I’ve ever seen possibly, as a FRESHMAN

Thanks Twenty Two. Outstanding job as usual. You are the man my brother!

I was happy to see Picket break the all time ACC Touchdowns record with his 42nd td! What a nfl future he has in store for him. Love the kid.

Thanks for the Write-ups @TwentyTwo - only have bowl season then you are off the hook for awhile ;)

I have made comments during the season that UGA should let JT Daniel get into the game to get meaningful snaps. Bennett is a good story and was a solid QB for Georgia but Daniel is more talented and can keep teams honest with the deep passing game.

Don't forget Elijah Kothe, and Charlie Jones.
You are welcome...THANKS... had still been debating what the minimal "cut off" on receiving yards at 40 or 50 yards (unless it was Alec Pierce / Britian Covey a few of my favorites lol)

But since i included Cole Tucker at 2 - 30 .....Elijah Kothe 2 - 32 needs a shout out @ & all purpose Charlie Jones 2 - 41 + 1 carry 6 yards ...ooops ; was just a taken a back Iowa didn't even score a TD.....

Jimmy Chitwood in the 2021 WR Thread recently included San Diego St WR Jesse Matthews (8-82-1 yesterday) who i thought may be 1/2 black or mixed? ...had wondered if the was related to ex RB Ryan Matthews(mixed) who played there & NFL? .... Sometimes (Erik Harris ; Ashtyn Davis; Vic Wharton etc) the experts here at CF can help decide; instead of me. Lance Moore is mixed ...i had always put those players in 3rd category for research purposes.

LOL@ ! Stoked about Bowl Season! Lost count how many are there again? 42? ; 43? ; 44?
It starts next eearly Friday the 17th 11:00 CST /Noon EST in the BAHAMAS Bowl!! Last chance getting to see Middle Tennessee Senior DB Reed Blankenship ' one of the Nations Top Safeties in CFB 106 Tackles this season; 3 Fumble Recoveries; 2 Forced Fumbles
....has 9 career INT's......https://twitter.com/i/status/1459648364040101896
Doesn't seem that long ago he was a Freshman making impressive INT vs. Syracuse just like that!

Agreed with the UGA QB situation. They will likely need to play JT Daniels if they want to Win the Championship.
Also wonder if an undefeated UGA knowing that even if they lose; they were still in the 4 team playoff. ..they were due for bad game? Where as a one=loss Alabama played with more of a sense of urgency?? Their O-line stepped up big time yesterday!

Did anyone see Michigan 2nd string QB JJ McCarthy blaze down the sideline and pass speedy RB Corum to block for him on his TD run? Must of been the fastest guy on the field.

In real time, I called out "who's #9??" I thought Michigan had brought in a walk-on wide receiver, since none of their scholarship guys are white. Can't say I've ever seen a quarterback make an effort like that. It would have been sweet if he laid the wood too, but probably smart to avoid that.

This is the only picture I could find of Jesse Matthews with I assume are his parents or at least father and sister

58 yard run by Pickett for th TD!
Here is Picketts long run. It’s drawing a lot of controversy because of the fake slide. Awsome move by Pickett but is does handcuff the defense a bit.

Corum is 5’8 200 pounds soaking wet and his quarterback easily out ran him. Do the best players always play? Corum did make a hell of a cut initially but in the open field McNamara out sprinted him.

I agree with your premise. Corum might be a good running back (vision, agility, etc) but a physical specimen he is not. From watching HS highlight videos every year on this site, I can confidently say that there are countless White athletes who are more talented. Of course, big universities would never consider them. That is how the Caste System operates and maintains itself.
