Way up there
I remember when we played Clemson in the bowl game when they had DJ U, their offense seemed really dumbed down and conservative. At the time, I thought they were just a big dog going through the motions in a bowl game that was beneath them but I think it was more about how limited they were at qb than them sleepwalking through a lower tier bowl than they were used to.

I just think it’s funny that they thought DJ was the answer at QB
I agree with this so much. He’s the prototype average college qb.

Bud Elliott, who I trust more than any other national podcaster, said once they lost on Cam Ward to Miami they settled.

Maybe Norvell isn't the end-all, be-all that everyone acts like he is.

Oh
Maybe a little overrated after last season.

But also a reminder that Bill O’Brien is a good coach.
Bob doesn’t get the credit he deserves for job he did for the Texans.

Wow. Just found out Disney/ESPN are in a contract dispute with AT&T UVerse and I don’t have ESPN since 9/1.

Is game on anything else? ESPN+ or Hulu?

I just think it comes down to coaches seeing that DJ U recruiting hype and believing he's a top flight QB. He’s now burnt his third program.

Florida State is like Clemson, Penn State, Oklahoma, ect…..

They think they are Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama.

So many don’t realize this difference between the team I just listed to those listed at the top.
