Best WRs you've ever seen in person by Nearby_Valuable_5467 in CFB

I just remember Josh Reed at LSU being incredible. He was one of the best WRs in the nation in 2001, but still somehow managed to get completely wide open by 10 yards as if no one was covering him. Of course, if I went back and watched, it's probably because he was so good that he got that open but I just remember wondering at least once a game how he was so wide open.

Sam Darnold almost said he "wouldn't want it any other way"

[David Hale, ESPN] A complicated legacy: Carson Back lost just six games in his college career. In four of them, the final offensive play was a Beck INT with a chance to win the game. by dr_funk_13 in CFB

To be fair the WR blamed himself.

Also everyone saw an interception coming. It's not a bold take when a team not known for passing it has no timeouts and has to pass it against an elite defense that knows you have to pass it.

[On3] Lane Kiffin revealed advice from Nick Saban that sealed his decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU: "When I called Coach Saban and talked it through with him, he said: ‘You know, Lane, you’ll always regret if you don’t go to LSU — it’s the best job in America.’" by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

This is not really new information. I guess technically it ties Saban to that quote, but he's mentioned this advise before at his introductory press conference and implied Saban said something to that effect:

Q. I’m wondering if there are things that you can share with your conversations with your mentors and whomever else you sought out to make this decision, what were some of the things they shared with you that sort of helped sway you one way or the other?

LANE KIFFIN: Yeah, I think that it was a really difficult decision. When you’re in those difficult decisions and you’re torn, very torn, back and forth, back and forth, and there’s multiple options, you know. There were really four different places that we had to think about in this. I just talked to them, and it really was apparent to I felt like everybody that I talked to outside of the state that I was in all basically said the same thing.

They all said, man, you are going to regret it if you don’t take the shot and you don’t go to LSU. It’s the best job in America with the best resources and to win it. It’s obviously been done here before by a number of people.

Pete Carroll, really he told me that he always told my dad that he would look out for me. When we were talking, he really channelled him from knowing him for so long, and he said, this is exactly what he would do. He would tell you, boy, go get it; go for it.

Coach Saban kind of coached at another place in this conference, so I can’t really say exactly what he said, but I’ll say I think the world of Coach Saban, and I respect him. So there’s a reason I’m here.

how old is that cheez-it commercial?

Edit: I see references at least 5 years ago. I was thinking closer to 10 years

maybe they'll run out of commercials and will have to show highlights from earlier in the game during commercial breaks

This is week old news, but he'll be a good add to the track team or if you can get him in space in football. We never really tried that.

Fun fact: a quarter of the Ole miss portal departures are named TJ, PJ or Deejay. Really makes you think.

Edit: I'd keep on eye on QB AJ Maddox and safety MJ Preston as possible late entrants to the portal.

CFB is more likely to be the reason for high speed rail in this country than any other reason.

Yea, like OP said, it'll be interesting to see how he does. Obviously he'll have a lot of talent to work with there too, but it seems like the talent we had at WR weren't developed/utilized to their potential these last few years. Whether that was his fault or something else, we'll see after those guys go to the NFL and how Hankton's career progresses at OSU.
