Miami plays Ohio State for the natty. Hard Rock Stadium. Miami is up by 5. Then, with 5 seconds left on the clock, Jeremiah Smith catches a TD pass, and throws up the 305. Ohio State for the win.

The crowd goes wild. Ohio State rushes on to the field.

Then, a lone official throws a flag. Offensive pass interference. Game over, Miami wins. Justice is served, your honor.

I’m glad I read all of it before I responded cause I was coming up with some words I had never heard before for you.

Interesting on Becks PPG at 28. I’m always asking myself is this offensive design or like a pitcher coming back from Tommy John surgery and building him up to reach final form.

This is by design. if Beck needs to throw 40 for us to win a game, he will. But why throw more than needed.

As Bo Schembechler used to say, ‘when you pass the ball, 3 things can happen and 2 are bad’.

Beck is the current favorite for the Heisman again.

Pretty crazy odds, too. There are only 3 guys better than 13/1 right now.

Beck +360
Simpson +370
Mendoza +550

This obviously means literally nothing, but if the voting were held today, I think Beck would win it by a decent margin.

Again, meaningless. Cam was the favorite for a good bit last year and IIRC he finished a distant 5th, plus we didn’t win ****, but I’d love to somehow go back in time and tell this board about 5 years ago, maybe right after Herbert and in the middle of Anthony Brown at Oregon with Mario, that he’d have a QB who was a Heisman finalist and the #1 overall pick followed by a totally different dude who would win the Heisman the following year. Yall would’ve had me committed, 100%. Insane simulation we’re living in right now.

There's also the possibility that Bain goes #1, giving us back to back #1 picks.

Not a response to you, but it has always completely blown my mind how people tried to act like Herbert and Brown were mediocre under Cristobal. Herbert had really good numbers despite a terrible, and I mean terrible, receiver room, and Anthony Brown had his best college season at Oregon.

Brown was about a 55% passer at BC, his final year at Oregon he was 64% and accounted for almost 3700 yards and 27 touchdowns on a 10 win team.

In Herbert’s two years under Cristobal he was about 63%, 66TD:14INT, and over 6600 yards with a 21-6 record with, again, a terrible receiver room by decent program standards.

Oregon fans flooded the internet with this narrative until it became everyone’s reality and it’s insane, and draft idiots use it to justify that they didn’t all see the obvious talent Herbert had if you actually watched the film.
