It was a disappointing effort. I expected more fight. But this season is about winning the other games. And through five, it looks different. We are scoring more points, winning more comfortably and are competent in all three phases. Let’s see if it continues. The Pitt game was encouraging...

This doesn't excuse it all, but COVID has played a role. Guys like Huff and TAC really needed spring and summer. Same for the receivers.

The 2020 class looks like a good one, and the 2021 class looks better. The names to know there are DT Leonard Taylor and ATH James Williams. Both are five stars who could've signed anywhere.

I agree with all that. It remains to be seen whether Manny can keep the team focused through November, and there are serious holes on the team. But through five games we have gotten the improvement we've been asking for.

We haven't seen three of those teams play, but Oklahoma has already lost twice and barely avoided a third loss in OT.

First, they signed Deshaun Watson. By that point, Clemson had three straight years of double-digit wins and had the 12th highest scoring offense in the country. But were not on the championship level. In fact, the true title contender in the conference (FSU) beat them 51-14 at home. It was...

A realistic goal is the Clemson teams from 2011-2014. Those teams won double-digits every year but were 7-9 against ranked teams. Some of those losses were every bit as discouraging as our loss in Death Valley. They steadily improved their recruiting and jumped to Bama's level in 2015 after...

Find a post of mine picking Miami to beat Clemson. Won't happen. You said you "watched a lot of college football and we are an average team." I asked you for an example of an above-average team and you went mute. There can't be three elite teams and sixty "average" teams. That's not how it...

Not quite as obvious as your white flag here. Don't use labels if you are unable to defend them with facts.

Miami didn't "need Pitt's QB to get hurt to beat them." They won by two scores. They beat Pickett the year before. And the year before that. Miami played terrible against the #1 team, lost badly, and has beaten everyone else by two scores. If that continues for the rest of the season (big if)...

You aren't answering the question. They can't all be average teams if the word has any meaning. Some teams will consistently beat the bad teams and lose to the great teams. That's the next tier. Miami has the talent to fit in that second tier, and that's how the team has performed thus far. I...

I’m talking this season. LSU is 1-2 with losses to Mississippi State and Missouri. Oklahoma is 1-2 with losses to Kansas State and Iowa State. The other two haven’t played yet. People overuse the word “average” without any consideration of the rest of the country.

If Miami is average and UNC is average, who is above-average? Everybody knows about the Clemson, Alabama and Georgia tier. Who currently belongs in the next tier?

Phillips reminds me of Olivier Vernon. He is all tools and motor right now. Like Vernon, Phillips has had a lot of stops and starts in his career which hindered his development. Vernon ended up signing the biggest DE contract ever at the time and has 54.5 career sacks. I think Phillips is...

Which teams are you watching? I see Alabama, Clemson and then a litany of deeply flawed teams. Georgia is the third-best team and they have a walk-on at QB. Notre Dame just struggled to put up 12 against Louisville. North Carolina just lost to FSU. If we're average, who is above average? The...
