Now it's just getting weird

That was the plan by USC all along. Theoretically, if he could keep the top CA players he can build a powerhouse at USC. The only issue is going to be NIL and the state of CA. They're looking to heavily regulate it and dilute it so that any NIL income requires a cut for the state plus a cut for the school. That won't pass constitutional muster. CA and Gov Newsome are not going to allow full unrestricted NIL like the State of Texas. That may put schools like USC and UCLA at a recruiting disadvantage with the Texas schools.
We can only hope....
 
UGA won with Bennett but they’d probably have another title or two with better QB play. Like for example if Smart had chose justin fields instead of Jake Fromm. I wouldn’t use this UGA team as the model. It’s the exception. You need elite QB play to win a title generally
Except for all the Alabama teams without great QBs that won it. Hawiian guy and Jones being the exceptions. A
 
True and no one is arguing that he is. That said, Gabriel’s ceiling is lower but right now he’s fundamentally the better QB. He is much better than CW at reading defenses, progressing through reads, completing the deep ball, completing passes in the flow of the offense instead of using his athleticism to extend plays to get people open and he already knows Lebby’s offense. CW obviously is young but showed some regression in all of those things when he started playing better completion after our bye week. He improved a bit with a month to practice before the bowl game so you’d have to assume he’ll grow in those areas over the off season. Depending on what happens at USC he’ll probably end up being the better of the two by the end of the season or 2023 but as we found with Rattler, there are no guarantees.

Also, Georgia just won the ship with Stetson Bennett, pretty confident that DG is much better than him and competent enough to at least help win the conference. Would love to get Dart though.
Yeah I like what I saw on the video of Dart
 
Its going to take him at least 2-3 years to start winning like he did at OU out there. That roster is trash up front. CW will be running for his life even more than he was at OU last year. It’s going take a lot of effort just to win the PAC 12 only to get blown out in the playoffs every time they make it. They aren’t ever going to match up with the physicality of SEC teams, especially with Wiley as their S&C coach.

No logical fan ever would've wanted him fired but there’s a reason the fanbase at OU was becoming frustrated with him and are happy/more optimistic with the direction the coaching staff is going, even if that means a taking a short term hit on the field. Riley’s teams regressed from the time he took over to the time he left. His coaching style and the culture he built weren’t ever going to be good enough to get OU over the hump and he was much father away at the end of his tenure than when it started.
I'll tell you what Riley probably said "Oh crap" when Dan Lanning took the Oregon job. Lanning is going to do things just like Smart has and Smart copied Saban. The only thing Lanning needs to do different is get a qb. Oregon can bring in plenty of talent to give USC plenty of problems.

Look,

I think Lincoln Riley was cut from the same maxi-pad as Bob Stoops.
I can't stand the guy and I hope his private jet crashes right into Amy Schumer's Hollywood pool while her Orca fat ass is floating in it.

But never in my life has ANY coach had back to back Heisman QB winners, with a 3rd one finishing 2nd-- and probably another QB that makes the Heisman finals if he didn't turn out to be the biggest deuche bag in OU history. Yes, Boz was a deuche-- but Boz could play (roids and all).

Riley is going to get his pick of the litter in QBs. It's almost cliche.

Now pretend you're a 17 year old kid with a laser/rocket for an arm, a lover of perfect weather, a desire to be in movies and rap videos, and an affinity for porn stars. All of the sudden, the porn queens you've been slapping the ham to since puberty, are legitimate candidates for your mustache ride services. Stars love fvcking other stars-- especially porn stars.

Come on--- be honest. Who was your porn crush? We all had one. For you old farts-- who was your dirty mag/playboy crush?
If she was in porn-- she most likely lived in Los Angeles.
If it was a girl in Playboy-- guess where she hangs out? The Playboy mansion-- in Beverly Hills.

Guess who gets invited to the Playboy mansion for parties? The starting USC quarterback.

USC has the potential to be a monster.
Is the Hefner Playboy Mansion even the Playboy Mansion anymore? I thought it sold

You don’t need elite QB play, but it certainly helps. Depending on the surrounding cast on offense and defense, good QB play or even decent QB play that minimizes mistakes will can it done. UGA shouldn’t be used as the rule, but it is an example that it can be done without a Heisman candidate or future NFL starter at QB as are several of the Bama teams that won prior to Tua.
 
Farrah Fawcett was my childhood all time favorite. As far as the hidden dirty magazines my friends and I had, I never bothered to look at their names or read the articles, it was a mad rush to my favorite pose😁
My grandfather was a lifelong perv and Playboy subscriber from the 1st issue until around 99'. He actually gave me the whole damn collection that was in boxes in his garage. The Marilyn Monroe issue was not in there though but for the most part most issues were there. I had gotten married right after that so it became kind of an awkward situation at my house. I researched some of the pricing guides and unless those mags were in tip top shape in covers etc, most of them really weren't worth much, I ended up getting rid of them. I did like to go back and look at some of the Pigskin previews and see how accurate those predictions were.

You do need elite QBs. There was a time where you didn’t. When Saban first got to Alabama you didn’t need an elite QB, but the game had changed over the last decade. You can be good without a QB but you won’t reach the top without one.

Elite is better but a good college QB can still get it done if the support cast is elite. If anything this year seemed to show a trend back toward defense and the run game. Obviously it’s one year, if it may have been more of a result of the Covid year and everything that came with it.
 
agree. And Young may be the next one.
Young actually impressed me for the most part in that game. I thought he was an over-rated heisman winner getting pumped up for being Alabama's QB surrounded by 5star studs at every position in a year when noone really stood out as the 'best' player in CFB. But watching that game, his WRs dropped or just missed a ton of passes that were right on the money. After watching that game, I thought Bama's offensive talent was average with a very accurate QB who hit his spots more often than not.

Young is a star no doubt and I think (not shockingly) losing his number 1 receiver before the NC and losing his number 2 receiver in the second half of the NC really hurt him. Looks like he could benefit by putting on a little weight in the off season but i bet he’ll be in NYC again next year regardless.

The poise he showed all season as a freshman was unbelievable. I watched a few games this year from start to finish and each time was thoroughly impressed with him. He reminds me a lot of Russell Wilson. Not overly athletic but can make plays with his legs when need be.
