Gemini thinks we should ride with Williams. Guess we already have our QB for 2026- you can’t argue with our robot AI overlords.

“Williams’ 2023 performance against Clemson is the "North Star" for his Heisman potential. Coming in as a true freshman against a top-tier defense, he showed the poise that fans believe can eventually rival Mendoza’s 2025 Heisman campaign.
The "Clemson Blueprint"
Williams’ stats in that game weren't just "good for a freshman"—they showed the specific traits needed to lead a high-level offense:
* The Stats: 24/33 (72.7%), 151 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
* The "Mendoza-esque" Quality: Like Mendoza, Williams didn't panic. He led a game-tying drive in the 4th quarter and played mistake-free football during the overtime periods to secure the 28–20 win.
* Physicality: Williams is much larger than Mendoza. During that game, he famously suffered a compound fracture of his arm while diving for a crucial first down. That "toughness" cemented his status as a leader in the locker room.
Why he could surpass Mendoza
While Mendoza is a master of the "short-to-intermediate" game, Williams has the NFL-caliber frame (6'5") and a vertical arm that allows him to attack windows Mendoza sometimes avoids. If Williams develops the same "pre-snap" intelligence Mendoza shows at Indiana, his physical tools could arguably make him a higher NFL draft prospect.
The 2026 National Championship: The Ultimate Contrast
The upcoming game between Indiana (Mendoza) and Miami (Williams/Beck) is a clash of two very different philosophies:
| Feature | Fernando Mendoza's Indiana | Emory Williams' Potential Miami |
|---|---|---|
| Philosophy | "Brain over Brawn" - High completion %, low risk. | "Pro-Style Power" - Vertical passing, physical dominance. |
| Origin Story | The Miami kid who left to prove everyone wrong. | The Florida kid who stayed to restore the "U". |
| X-Factor | Mendoza's 95% completion rate efficiency. | Williams' ability to make "off-platform" throws. |
Williams' Path to 2026 Stardom
With Carson Beck likely heading to the NFL after this National Championship game, 2026 is Emory Williams' year. He has been groomed behind a veteran for two years, whereas Mendoza had to go through the "fire" of a transfer and a rebuild at Indiana.”

You always gotta hate the package deals where you gotta take the brother alongside him even if it’s just the brother agent

Hey dude, you waking up tomorrow isn't guaranteed. If you're looking for absolutes and guarantees you're gonna spend your life disappointed. Signing a QB earlier in the portal window doesn't offer any sort of guarantee. Signing the #1 QB out of high school doesn't offer any sort of guarantee.

Let's play a game called what's more likely to happen... the same guy who's hit big on a portal QB in the last two cycles and now has us in a natty after 25 years of misery not having a plan with a backup seems like a bad bet.

for some of you, every single year, it's rinse and repeat.

2024 - Sky is falling, what are we gonna do, we get Cam Ward
2025 - Sky is falling, what are we gonna do, its taking too long, we get Carson Beck
2026 - we're prepping for a ******* National Title, have an ELITE defense, have a top 3-5 OL coming back, All-Conference caliber RBs and WRs and you all think Mario isnt gonna get us someone to put us in the best possible position to succeed
