    Henderson and Judkins do make for something we have not experienced for hard running backs for an eternity. I agree after some shffling the offrinsive line has improved. Oregon here we come!

    What a great addition we got in Judkins. I knew he was good, I didn't realize what a beast he is...the guy in the vid below he is face-planting is Iowa 5th year SR and All-American LB Jay Higgins, one of the favorites for the Butkus. Straight monster that kid is ..... to go with the other monster, Tre! O-line has another test this weekend. I think the Iowa front may be more physical, the Ducks may be more athletic and present a little different challenge. I like what I've seen so far, hope they can keep it going

    With no NLI what are teams to do with their "verbal" commitments? I don't understand why something that does bring a bit of stability to the recruiting scene suddenly become superfluous? As gipper noted it just makes things very much harder for coaches, what is the end game?

    It's probably a logical follow-on up to the fact that they can't keep kids from transferring.
    Why hold them to a choice before they get there when you can't hold them after they do?
    All part of the destruction of the sport.

    I don’t see how any coaching staff will be able to make any plans. They will have no idea who or how many are incoming.

    Glad to see that the powers that be don't want anything to do with private equity.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Following an "unprecedented" meeting between the SEC and Big Ten on Thursday, the commissioners of both conferences addressed multiple weighty issues facing college athletics and strongly pushed back on recent pitches from private equity groups to help offset increased expenses that will result from the NCAA's expected House settlement.

    Grand Canyon University is joining the Mountain West. Never figured that would happen.

    Sankey said the SEC is going to do something about the fake injuries that are more and more common.

    SEC outlines discipline for fake injury 'nonsense'

    SEC commissioner Greg Sankey sent a memo Friday to league athletic directors and head football coaches outlining punishment if players continue to fake injuries in games.

    "As plainly as it can be stated: Stop any and all activity related to faking injuries to create time-outs," Sankey wrote in the memo, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN.

    He ended the memo by writing: "Play football and stop the feigned injury nonsense."


    Has Kiffin complained about this happening to his go fast offense? :cool:
