Just finished watching and I have a few thoughts.
1. Notre Dame is not the best team in the country. In fact I am not sure they are even in the top 5. I know the media loves them at the TV ratings will love them with their fan base. I will take Alabama, Georgia, Florida, or Texas A & M versus the Irish any day and all day long. The USC defense is not very good at all with almost no depth, the offense is very inconsistent but still moved the ball well on the Irish famous "D". I may be wrong but this looks like another championship game that is not that close in the end and the 7th straight for the SEC.
2. Max Witteg is going to be a very able replacement to Matt Barkley. He showed a lot of promise as a good QB.
3. Don't ever pick the ACC teams over any good teams from another conference. I was foolish to believe the hype about Clemson and Florida State. Even Wake Forrest got pummeled by Vandy.
4. While "Johnny Football" probably will not win the Heisman Trophy simply because he is a freshman (the AARP voters won't allow it). He is the real deal and his stats are as impressive as both Cam Newton and Tim Tebow during the years they won the trophy. Collin Klein has a chance next week to lock it up with an impressive performance against a confused Texas Longhorn defense.
5. Alabama vs Georgia next week should be a great battle. Both teams look like they are hitting on all cylinders.
Notre Dame is a sad team to be playing in the Championship Game. I'm not looking forward to the game, but I am looking forward to increasing the SEC steak. Just hopefully not with Alabama.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Football is hands down the best player this year. His stats are better than Cam and Tebow. A decent defensive player for Notre Dame should be no competition for him. I wish voters would ignore his age and let him win it like he deserves.
