Thanks for the love max. We appreciate it! Tiger 🐅 nation! GEAUX TIGERS!!!

It's not gonna be about Murray, what folks aren't talking about is Rodney Anderson and Trey Sermon running the ball. Those two plus a much improved defense will be the main reasons why OU will be in the playoffs again... If you don't know the backs, go watch their tapes last year... Plus Anderson with 5 carries for 100 yds and 2 TDs before half this past Saturday...

In all honesty, Oklahoma looked really good last weekend. They are a beast. Clemson as usual is good and solid but will be tested this weekend. Ohio State gave up 31 points to Oregon State so that was not so hot.

Nobody:

Molly: “Dan went to U-Conn with me”

Bama, OU, Georgia, Ohio State, Washington, Clemson, Wisconsin, Auburn and Notre Dame. I don’t see anyone else having a chance to get into the playoffs outside of those 9 teams. That’s really who it comes down to. I will be shocked if someone gets in outside of one of those names.

Alabama faced that front seven from clemson last year with jalen...

[JasonLefevers]

It’s amazing people still take Finnebaum seriously.

[andrewhopoi]

Barry Sanders would have been the perfect comparison! Barry became the best rb ever to play the game but had Thurman Thomas started in front of him in college.

[damourbeaucoup]

Let Tua go and watch what he does these politics with jalen are holding him back. We've seen spots of brilliance let that man play a full game and watch... that Lebron comment may not be far off

[jdhartonline]

If you really take the time to listen to @danorlovsky7's comments about Tua and Lebron, he said that" Tua is college football's version of LeBron 15 years ago". You know, when Lebron was young but you could see that he was special and destined to be great. That was the comparison he was making, not that Tua is as great as Lebron is now. I guess Stephen A was running short on things to bloviate about today..

Paul flexing on em with those ultra boosts

[jfloyo]

Knock knock...who's there...its old man Michigan is jalen hurts available?

[vinceholmesjr.]

Make up got Paul looking 20 years younger.

[andrewhopoi]

They asked, what happen if it was Clemson? Oh well, the same thing you say against Georgia. Except, Georgia defense last year is better than any college defense out there. And the thing is, Tua never even started that game against Georgia. Tua has the "Mana Factor" Hawaiian refer to "Mana" as when things happens magically, or is very hard to explain to how nature's power may assist in the result, or performance outcome.

final 4: clemson, auburn, penn st, oklahoma

[jimmcewen]

A more fair comparison for Tua, would've been what Steve Kerr did with Steph Curry, Kerr put a system in where if you can't keep up with Steph from the 3 point line then you don't have much chance to beat them. Tua is so accurate with the ball that you now have to pick your poison, if you respect the run he will find receivers open, and if ya wanna drop 7 in coverage he will get them into the right running play

[jusanothacritik]

Paul....same guy who said "The U" was back last year.

[greyFCB]

SEC and Clemson playing ONLY THE BEST. Furman, Charlston Southern, St. Judes, and Maria's School for the def and blind.
