Looks like he will forego his Covid year. He has accepted invite to Senior Bowl. He had a great year.
Good for him. I would advise any player to go to the NFL if they can get drafted, especially in the first three rounds.
I’m particularly fond of any player with high expectations coming out of high school who has a tough road, stays through a regime change and still realizes his potential. Happy for the kid, now go get paid.
I kinda selfishly wish good players would stay at UT as long as the law allows but go get it, young fella
Couldn’t help but think at least 2 of those teams in the playoff throw up a 9-3 at best against Tennessee’s schedule
Many cfb fans don't want to hear it, but it is [uck fay]ing true. ACC is trash. Pac 12 is going from mediocre to bad. B1G is simultaneously top heavy and underweight. And oh look, the only other conference worth a damn is going to lose its 2 most successful programs to... the SEC. The expanded playoffs is going to be blindingly illuminating for those that don't get this. Imagine if we had 12 teams now. Georgia would be in, Alabama and Tennessee would be in. Lsu may be in. Now, what are the odds that the sec doesn't make up half of the final 4? Hell, it may make up all of it.
I'm half starting to think TCU may have the favored hand of God behind it. In no way should they be here, I've counted them out half a dozen times this year, but here we are.
I agree, to be here is no more unlikely than to somehow best UGA. They didn't have an easy road and they do have some gamers.
ALSO UGA is not used to having to travel like this. Does it matter? I don't know. I am sure they'll fill up the stadium.
I'll admit I had my doubts about Darnell when he first got here but with some coaching, you see why he was highly touted coming out of high school. Dude is a monster and barring injury, should do well in the league. Coach Elarbee needs to stay at Tennessee for a good while.
Pac-12 is on the upswing IMO. USC, UCLA, and Washington are improving. Oregon and Utah are still solid top 25 programs. Arizona and Oregon State may be getting feistier (though tough to extrapolate too much from one season in those cases). I don’t know that there’s a juggernaut coming out of that pile, but they’re getting more competitive. And Colorado probably will stop being a total trash fire.
