    Yep, I knew he started a few games last year but a start against the likes of LA-Monroe in the friendly confines of DKR is not remotely similar to starting in Columbus in front of a hostile crowd 100,000+ facing the defending national champion in their home opener where facing 3rd and long he's not going to be able to hear himself spit and is forced to go on silent count and see's a pressure alignment he's never before seen on film and knows that the current protection called is likely to get him killed while also knowing his ability to communicate a change is iffy at best....that's gonna be a different animal for the young man. No doubt he's talented, but he's gonna take some lumps. He's a great athlete, he absolutely can and will hurt us with his feet but I'm pretty sure Sark would rather not have the golden boy taking shots all day long in the season opener. Ala the CFP championship game where we had no answer to Leonard bludgeoning us play after play on the opening drive, it was also clear that the young man wasn't going to be able to survive that pounding for 4 qtrs.
    Can you tell I'm getting excited for this game yet? 15 days......what an opener!

    Is there some problem for YouTube TV subscribers not being able to see the game?

    Supposedly today will be the deadline. You tube has said all subscribers will receive a $10.00 credit to their account if the game can not be televised. The game will be available on Fox for Antenna customers.

    Seems as if YouTube and Fox have reached an agreement for a temporary extension so the threat of a blackout is averted for the time being. Good thing.....I had just "cut the cord" in the spring in favor of YouTube TV so we were directly in the line of fire!!! Glad they got it worked out but we need a longer-term contract soon so I won't have to lose sleep over a black out each and every week:eek::eek::eek:
