Boo.  On the upside that’s 9am for UCLA

I love it for us but it’s absolute BS that they do that to west coast teams (and is BS when east goes to west coast and play night games that end at 1:30 am EST).

What’s your beef with Gus! Him and Joe Klatt are my two favorites. 
 

Joe Klatt’s show is a daily listen for me. He covers CFB better than anyone. Urban Meyer is a good contributor on FBNK. 
 

admittedly nervous to play UCLA 

I’m also in the Gus camp!!!

He has a way of even making Kennesaw State vs Georgia State sound like a big time game.

Has anyone heard any injury news?

At the end of the game I read trainers were looking at Kamara and it also appeared Wyatt was banged up. Hope “all is well”.

One of the people I work with does the injury tent.

I'm just worried about there being a trap game.

Some interesting outliers…

The preseason Heisman favorite appears to be…..underperforming.

Sounds like Wyatt is likely done for the season. 
 

Stephen Daley going to have to step up. 

[Pagoda 6,113]

Maryland game is set for 3:30 on CBS.  Nice to be on network TV.

I think Daley will do well.  Who backs up Daley?….Landino…..Ndukwe

Daley has already been playing as many snaps as Wyatt and Kamara.

It's either Nduke picking up snaps and/or Landino moved to the edge more often and Wheeler, Radcliffe, and maybe Monette picking up additional snaps at D Tackle.

Also; I may be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't true freshman Kyler Garcia showing sone juice during the summer?

If I remember correctly, didn't Wyatt play Kamara's position from last year? Any chance they'd move Kamara back?

this kid is probably the main reason for Burris transferring, TBH

Wha?!!?

A true freshman that is coming in as the 1,300+ composite ranked recruit? That would be a hell of a revelation.

Tell me more.

Composite rating? I don't look at those. There is simply zero chance you can put together a decent rankings list of HS football players. They do stupid **** like rank QBs, RBs, and WRs high. 

The kid is 6'4 290lbs now and was on campus to start spring semester, along with Calhoun (who needs weight).... plus Hall arrives in June. 

Then we have two DTs transfer AFTER spring ball... reading the tea leaves, but I doubt it's a coincidence.

Garcia's OVs-- Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, Louisville, and had just been offered by Georgia a month before he committed to IU.

Nail on the head!! And Garcia is ALL FREAKIN IN on IUFB. Last year he was extremely active on social media and you can just tell he's all about team ball. I really hope it works out for him. I like his passion a lot. 

Hey @CSP and @Lebowski...

Is Kyler Garcia still in the mix as a ready to launch D-lineman?

It looked non contact to me.... ACL? 

[CSP 12,303]

Nevermind-- I saw the verbiage that Cignetti used. Doesn't totally rule it out, but FFFFFFFF UUUUUU **************************

 

Wyatt is a stud. Pretty sure he has another year of eligibility, but dammit dammit. 

 

Obviously Daley has gotta be able to go way more now, Landino might play some more outside. Fisher in that spot some, maybe Jones as well. (passing downs)... Ratliff more on the inside some.

no idea. Not sure what exactly the ripple effect will be...

In Cig's presser today, he said his new contract came together in less than 48 hours.  Scott walked in his office Tuesday and said we want to do this with your contract, can we talk with your rep?  Cig basically said sounds good.

That was it.  It's pretty clear the alignment and groundwork needed was already in place such that both sides were comfortable -- no big list of demands or a drawn out negotiation.  Excellent work from Scott and IU in my opinion.

Dolson wanted to get ahead of any drama. Smart man. 

[CSP 12,303]

Are either DePaepe ever going to make an impact? 

They're 6'5 260, 6'6 260 a piece.... 

 

Obviously Daley, obviously Ndukwe are going to play more. That was evident on Saturday.
