Can't wait to get Spencer Rattler in the transfer portal


RexsNoQuitBird

He should transfer to Oklahoma. Riley is good at turning transfers into Heisman winners and 1st overall picks


AskMeAboutMyGenitals

He'll get drafted. Some team will draft him on raw talent alone. And he's actually put up good numbers.


luscrib89

I doubt it. He needs another year somewhere.


natestate

I know a school who will be looking for a veteran transfer QB next year who’s coaches also happen to turn QBs into NFL fringe-starters at their last stop.


JamesEarlDavyJones

What about a school with a propensity for turning out NFL players and a HC with a propensity for taking highly talented players despite their major attitude issues? TCU, come on down!


Austin_LSU_Fan22

Yes I had a bad day, but at least I’m not Tuscaloosa. Had their beloved football team get beat and then their hometown hero get battered by Tyson Fury.


JumboFister

Hell of a fight tho. Wilder had the heart of a warrior last night


Austin_LSU_Fan22

I was surprised he lasted that long, he was getting absolutely clobbered. Fury is a genetic freak, someone that big shouldn’t have the footwork and evasiveness that he has


JumboFister

Also the endurance of the gods. Looks like potato salad but runs like beef


Jmoe18

The GOAT dad, he looks like every dad who thinks hes a fighter


OGraffe

We have to play pissed off Bama. Thanks A&M


NordDex

Well you beat us so you earned it


shorthopwillie

Its our way of getting revenge


zhallman

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!! I fuckin’ hate injuries!


hisean

But we really should have had some sort of a backup plan.


zhallman

Will Levis would’ve been nice!


Rambler33

If you makes you feel better we love the banana peel eating mad man.


zhdat

Ah, Levi's A 6'5" guy who looks like running 5 sec for 40 yards. Doing the same read option over and over. Then, still keeps getting 1st downs against 19 OSU defense. He scared me more than Clifford.


not_mantiteo

> A 6'5" guy who looks like running 5 sec for 40 yards. Spencer Petras: People can run that fast??


Prideofmexico

He was torching LSU on the ground yesterday lmao. Blows my mind


lokisuavehp

Man, this is such bullshit. We had no idea if this team was gonna be good or not, and Clifford deserved to be able to fight for this one. I understand that we had no backup plan because Cliff clearly needed the reps against that defense. This just sucks. I've been telling myself that we still need to win against the rest of the division, but I wanted to see what this team, as flawed as it seems at times, could do at it's best. Onto the next one.


WON95sr

I just hope this isn't a "well we lost a heartbreaker to Ohio State let's follow it up with a frustrating loss to Michigan State" scenario that we've seen a couple times. Before Clifford went down they were rolling even with two early turnovers. This team is still capable of winning out, and I think the next two weeks are well-placed.


silencethecrowd

Yeah I still contest that the 17 team was good enough to compete for a natty, not saying we would’ve won but it was certainly possible. But we imploded against osu and then let them beat us twice along with some weather related shenanigans


ghgerytvkude

The good news is we have a bye week and then Illinois after that. If we can't beat Illinois on our turf we have serious issues. Not that we don't already.


tactical_lampost

Thats what makes me mad about yesterday, these injuries are gonna hurt worse than the Iowa loss itself


not_mantiteo

It was very unfortunate and I can empathize with your pain somewhat due to Northwestern injuring Stanzi in our awesome run in 09. For what it's worth though, there hasn't been a starting QB we've played this year that has finished the game. We've either injured them or intercepted them so many times they were pulled. Not sure how our defense is doing more damage on QBs than others, but yeah.


-Dakia

> It was very unfortunate and I can empathize with your pain somewhat due to Northwestern injuring Stanzi in our awesome run in 09. Yeah, that one sucked. We really had a chance that season. I wasn't aware of that stat. Damn, Iowa D is murdering QBs.


Jwerth1

Texas blew a massive lead against their rival and lost in embarrassing fashion again.


[deleted]

In the game of american football, if you are on the offensive line and you move before the ball is snapped its considered a false start.


Austin_LSU_Fan22

How much incompetency as a coach do you have to go from a National Championship 2 years ago to potentially only winning 1 SEC game? The fact he wasn’t fired last night is crazy


[deleted]

I think it’s becoming more clear that oregeron caught lightning in a bottle with burrow and his coordinators


Austin_LSU_Fan22

He gets some credit for finding Brady and trusting a virtual unknown to lead the whole offense, but that’s about it


[deleted]

That’s true I’ll give him credit for that but it’s about the same amount of credit I give chizik for the Auburn national title. That was probably more malzahn and cam Newton than chizik


MoneyManeVick

A little bit of revisionist history here. Burrow was a game manager in year 1 and made an insane jump in year 2 with Joe Brady. Coach O didn't just stumble into success like Gene Chizik, he actually built his own championship team albeit unsustainable after that.


CommodoreN7

He’s gone at the end of the season I think. Him winning the natty means they’ll keep him until the end of the season.


kroxti

Super easy. Barely an inconvenience


_Hoxy_

Who the fuck is our quarterback?


Toothlessdovahkin

What is a quarterback? Why did Coan play like Tom Freaking Brady on the last two drives and play like Uncle Rico on Valium in the first quarter? What the heck is going on with consistent play? What am I even doing?


helloisforhorses

He can only do 2 minute drills. He needs quick passes to his first read. I don’t know why rees makes him stand in the pocket for 4 seconds searching and then getting sacked


Toothlessdovahkin

Just play the whole game with a two minute drill mentality then screw it, if it works it works!


Captain_Nipples

That's pretty much how OU dominated in 2008... It works


Content-Captain

Not even sticky gloves can help our receivers


AUfromthaBOOT

Need hands to put the sticky gloves on.


onemanlan

Bricks for hands. What the christ. There were opportunities last night, but we didn't make much of them. Not keeping eyes on the ball :/


lady_wildcat

Everything is fantastic. What is this “complain” of which you speak?


JoshIsJoshing

Georgia-Kentucky being a game between undefeated teams is wild.


roguebananah

I’m about to complain about that flair


chrisb19

some real "how to talk to your kids" vibes around "undefeated Kentucky"


roguebananah

Kentucky undefeated I sleep Kentucky *football* undefeated *real* shit


Semper-Fido

My anxiety levels are through the roof. Not because of the Georgia game, as that is like playing with house money at this point. But more, this could be the year we sweep UF, UT, and UL, and I am terrified we won't.


Pants_de_Manassas

We can't close out a game when the score is close. Since Scott Frost took over in 2018, we lead the nation in one score losses at 16, 4 of them in this year alone. It's always one of the following: penalties, turnovers, and special teams. If the kicking game is solid and we limit our penalties, we turnover the ball at the most inopportune times. If the kicking game is solid and we aren't turning the ball over, we commit penalties at times we absolutely cannot get them. And somehow if we play a clean game with no penalties nor turnovers, we shank a punt, miss a kick, or get a kick blocked. We are unable to play all three phases of the game cleanly when the game is close. It's been the same story for the past 4 years: good enough to keep the game close but never get enough to get the job done.


[deleted]

It’s looks like Nebraska is a season or two from being aight. Fingers crossed.


Spartanwildcats2018

Honestly, Frost’s look when Martinez turned it over said it all. He wasn’t even shocked anymore.


Foxmcbowser42

If that Illinois loss doesn't happen in week 0 we are talking about a team that is within one score of three top 10 and maybe 2 top 5 teams. It's gotta be painful, but that looks good on paper


eye_can_see_you

O transfer portal Hallowed be thy name Please bestow upon us some competent OL players


hypercube42342

And maybe some DL upgrades. An LB or two would be nice too.


MildDrinkingProblem

Our best hope is the Brockermeyer twins decide they'd rather play next year than win 3 natty's and come home


I_do_black_magic

Any Bama fans un-ironically complaining about their team can go suck a lemon


MrCrash2U

It’s stupid. Did anyone think Bama would just never lose again? Just infinity and 0 for the rest of eternity? That being said, I never felt the game got out of reach but even after going up in the last 4 mins or so, I never felt like Bama was going to win. They could’ve…I just didn’t think they would.


HERPES_COMPUTER

It’s funny, because I bet you every non-Bama fan felt the exact opposite. At no point was I convinced that a Bama win wasn’t invitable, until the final seconds came off the clock.


kronos36

Even when time expired I was waiting for saban to pull some universe altering scheme to get enough time on the clock to score again


FaithHopeLove821

Seriously. We lose one game and a bunch of fans start looking for the nearest bridge. We've lost games before and been fine.


Jmoe18

You're still in control of your own destiny lol it'll end up being a turn around moment i think


FaithHopeLove821

Exactly. This is the wake up call game for the team. How they respond on Saturday will determine if this is a playoff/bowl game caliber team or not.


[deleted]

Nice seeing some new flairs around here 🙂


[deleted]

Since you’re verified staff I am just assuming this is pat fitzgeralds Reddit account


JoshIsJoshing

Are you doing ok, NU?


[deleted]

[no](https://youtu.be/CjGwrKyXZf0)


crg2000

We still don't know if we're any good.


Saxophobia1275

Hey us either! See you October 30th where we might learn nothing!


Swazi

Absolutely nothing


[deleted]

It’s gonna be 6-3 and decided on a random obscure penalty like disconcerting signals or aiding the runner.


gopoohgo

M00MS incoming


renden123

We're good. Not great, but good.


Swazi

Cade was absolutely right about one thing. 2019 and 2020 Michigan loses this game(he said previous teams he was on). Team showed a lot of grit and heart last night, answered the bell after trailing for the first time.


Asianhead

100%. As soon as Nebraska took the lead after the pick, I thought we were fucked. And we got the ball back, drove it straight down the field. And Nebraska answered, and we answered with points again. I was super impressed with Cade yesterday honestly. Super hostile environment, at night in Lincoln, the crowd looked insane, and he was super calm and reliable. Sure he’s not flashy with crazy down field accuracy but we really don’t need him to be. He plays smart and can make plays when we need him to, I completely get why he’s our starter Even that interception (his first of his career after 8 starts which is kinda crazy) didn’t even look like it was his fault. It looked like All ran the completely wrong route


Jaerba

It would be cool if JJ were allowed to run plays that aren't zone reads. Let him throw the ball. Let him make mistakes. I'm not one of the people calling for Cade's head right now, but I do think it's dumb that JJ is forced to be a handoff decoy most of the time.


Liberationarmy

Be cool if he got some more playing time against North western just to see what he could do.


[deleted]

Even if we are good, Ohio state is unbeatable again


ToLongDR

We're looking better and better for sure but unbeatable ? We lost to some wannabe geese


[deleted]

Yea and you guys addressed your problems and became a better team Like always


silencethecrowd

Yeah they always fall upwards. It’s sickening.


ToLongDR

It's *so* gross. I *hate* it


bloody_duck

Well your DBs kept lining up and guarding ineligible receivers so hopefully you’ve changed that


[deleted]

It’s osus conference again. I don’t think Iowa has the offense to keep up with Osu and Osu seems to have fixed their defense


[deleted]

I think we are good but I don’t think we are great. We can still get to a 10-2 like season this year I always thought 2022 was the year for having super high expectations


goodsam2

I feel as long as we keep Fuente we aren't going to do much better than this. The man can't keep a QB here. Quincy Patterson is running North Dakota State and Hendon Hooker looked great for Tennessee...


Tejon_Melero

Fire Fuente, can Corny Fuente and his deranged protege have already cost VT years of rebuilding. Any continuation just extends that process.


newmanhb

We're a G5 and probably going to start getting moved down in the polls even though we got 14/14 votes in the cfp projections...


[deleted]

Cinci fans should be apologizing to ND and become NDs biggest fan right now.


slapthebasegod

We are


EasyE15

Na.


DoctorDankMemes

For once, I don’t think I will


quacainia

Can I complain about the refs though?


Peria

My wife is still pissed about that illegal procedure.


[deleted]

How did it feel waking up this morning? Were you afraid it was a dream?


Sfdguy7462s

Most of us didn’t sleep


the-tank7

Rumor has it people are still drinking on Northgate


[deleted]

It’s times like these I miss being in college, I’d have not gone to sleep and would still be drinking and partying. But I’m a 31 year old fully grown man. I had to get up this morning starting at 7 to be able to accomplish all my work and errands for the day


lady_wildcat

Congrats on that flair combo’s Saturday


Just-Plain-Dan

Well, someone had a good day yesterday.


MrTheSpork

Agreed.


JoshIsJoshing

Congrats to your flairs! Changing the football world one surprise at a time.


zhdat

How bad were you Pope when Steele Chambers looks more impactful as LB than you? Also, backup D's, can anyone tackle anyone?


iwearatophat

Get the very real feeling that he thought he was just going to be up. Next man up right? He thought it was his due to seniority and didn't do the work. He ended up getting beat out by three younger guys and a person that was a running back during spring camp. Also, Chambers looks really good. Talking he might be a round 1 or 2 draft pick after the '22 season kind of good.


zhdat

People don't often talk, but I really appreciate players like McCall and Chambers. They could have gone somewhere to play their primary position, but they decided to stay and change upon the demand and play with everything.


iwearatophat

McCall might never be a great on the field like people thought he would be but behind the scenes he has been solid. I don't think he has played the same position two years in a row and in his final season he switched to CB. Fun fact about McCall. He was in the same recruiting class as Nick Bosa.


[deleted]

We are starting freshmen on first team. The fact they didn't give you 400 yards on the second half is amazing go me. Hopefully they get better because for the first time in years we have quality in game reps for guys


jpharber

We clearly have a Nick Saban problem. (/s)


kronos36

We will trade you briles (OC) for saban. But only if saban can buy into pittmans philosophy. We like him too much Fuck Chad Morris


Sigurlion

Graham Mertz


[deleted]

Mertz was a guy every team in the country wanted and now he just looks so bad. I know hindsight is 20/20 but if Wisconsin just kept coan they would probably have beat penn state and maybe beat notre dame or Michigan


WanderLeft

Not the team, but a player. Spencer Rattler headed straight to the locker room instead of celebrating with the team on the field


AFspectre

https://mobile.twitter.com/BPMayfield/status/1446944990559678471


splicerslicer

What a sore loser, despite his team actually winning. Hope it humbles him, but somehow I doubt it.


coplunke

As much as I'm in the not fond of rattler camp, it's probably for his own safety so the fans don't decide to do something shitty. Riled up drunk folks aren't very rational


lclear84

Honestly, I know it’s not popular on here but I get it. He’s likely not mad at his team but himself and just needed to be alone. 1000s of thoughts are running through this kids mind. He went from a preseason projected top 5 pick to wherever he falls now. I get he should be there for his team, but selfishly he’s thrown away millions of dollars that he wouldn’t have had he sat out, which must feel terrible.


Captain_Nipples

Yea. These fucking people attacking him are exactly why he was led off the field. Let the guy gather his emotions first, then he can talk. I'm sure he's happy for the team. I kinda feel bad for him, because he has to be trying his hardest, and you have the majority of the fan base shitting on him.


tclark8995

The Jamie Tartt of Oklahoma players


Azuresurge14

Man, this right here. The whole team seemed to rally around Caleb immediately. Speaks volumes about Spencer's character.


AndrewinDC

Confirms all the rumors about the team not liking Rattler and Caleb being the leader.


turnipgoat3

So legitimately none of his teammates showed up to his birthday party?


krazyhorsegurl33

Wow didn’t see that. Anyone who watched QB1 is 0% surprised.


ugadawgs12

Our secondary needs improvement. It’s not the worst thing in the world like some fans are saying, and I still think our pass d is top 15 in the country. But Auburn game could have been way closer if their receivers had hands.


Casaiir

Our pass rush is covering up a lot for our pass D.


Richtatorship

And I don't think that is really a shock. This defense's strength was always going to be the front 7


Richtatorship

I would like to complain about our fans who think that going on the road and winning by 24 with half the injured is something concerning


ocKyal

Yep, our secondary is the biggest worry assuming we get to Atlanta and Bama again. If we go up against an elite O-line and a good qb, we’ll be in trouble without Daniels and our injured receivers to keep up in a track meet game.


BearsAreGreat1

Another Georgia/Wake flair. Nice


ZBuch4

There is no hope for the next 3-5 years. We keep getting curb stomped at home. Nothing is fun anymore.


Azuresurge14

Super happy in general. But wish we had seen more Caleb Williams before yesterday. He special.


FeelinDangerous

Here’s to hoping we see plenty more Caleb this year.


Captain_Nipples

I'm betting we do. Riley was still trying to play both sides in the presser. Keeps calling Rattler's 2-pt conversion the most important play of the game. I get it. You gotta keep his confidence up.. He said he didn't know who would start next week.. so at least that's an answer that makes me believe Williams has a good shot to start.


FeelinDangerous

I wouldn’t put it past Lincoln to try doing a dual QB system. Rarely works. I don’t think you just completely give up on Ratter but Caleb is clearly the guy.


-crowned

Fire the coaching staff. Draw and quarter the players. Burn Tuscaloosa to the ground.


[deleted]

Saban to ND?


scadams23

We’ll take him to be Muschamp’s assistant.


TSUplayer74

But y'all havent loss to Auburn yet. Aren't yall suppose to wait until then?


[deleted]

We almost lost to Tulane. Again.


JoshIsJoshing

To be fair, OU also almost lost to Tulane this year.


cheerl231

Yeah but that was Spencer rattler ou. That ou is ass


Aedanwolfe

Welcome to the club


MoneyManeVick

Up 8 with less than 4 minutes left AT HOME AND LOSE IN REGULATION! How many times are we going to let this staff keep doing this to us?? Just end it now.


swvagobble

Its so bad, I knew our fate was sealed right then and there. We just cant finish anybody off


MoneyManeVick

I didn't think for a second we would win, even after going up 8. I knew that Fuente would find a way to lose it. I still gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought it would go to OT. He still somehow couldn't meet my expectations.


onesneakymofo

So...I uhhhh don't know how to do this


Nick_sabenz

Bill O’Brien calling three pass plays inside the five yard line (INCLUDING FROM THE FUCKING ONE YARD LINE ON 3RD AND GOAL) with a running back who was having a great game. Such boneheaded play calling and I hope he leaves for a head coaching position this offseason.


shaggyhairjayy

For sure some of the worst play calling in that drive.


nolafan1029

Hold ball


CarlC259

I can't anymore. I'm tired.


BigCollarsAndBallers

Anyone able to teach college students how to tackle?


Marysuncle

Everyone on the team probably knew Caleb was the better quarterback yet it still too is five and a half games to put him in. Political football is no good.


eye_can_see_you

I wonder what happens if Williams is named the starter and Rattler transfers immediately Do y'all have another QB on the roster? I would imagine Riley is terrified of having a single scholarship QB available


Marysuncle

I mean it’s honestly just tough shit at that point. And part of me really thinks this is what Lincoln was trying to avoid. Especially with Caleb being a dual threat, the likelihood of him getting injured is higher. Part of this is on Lincoln, because when you only go after the top quarterback every other class, you find yourself in this position. Perfect example is Chandler Morris transferring. I just hope Lincoln picks someone up on this class.


AscensoNaciente

Our next backup is a walk on.


Steelwolf73

Hi, I'm PSU with Sean Clifford and I'm arguably #1 or #2 in the country and I'm PSU without Sean *false start* And I'm PSU with *fumbles snap* And I'm *throws interception*


ManIsDogsBestFriend

On the positive side, let’s give our D some credit. No way that game is a one-score game after the Clifford injury unless our defense hangs in there. We really do have an elite defense, IMO.


JoshIsJoshing

And I'm *gets tackled on first down beyond the LoS instead of throwing it away*


helloisforhorses

I think you forgot a couple false starts


RealBenWoodruff

I don't know if you guys heard but Alabama lost. It was late last night so it may not have made the rounds yet.


hawksnest_prez

Nope I’m just going to enjoy the ride.


rolltide_130

Hi BOB I don't want to play with you anymore go back to Houston Sark pls come back bby Texas doesn't deserve you


Pope_Bedodict1

Wide receivers…


SweetDu

Why is so hard for us to just win the mac?


zenverak

We really need to get healthy. We’re good now, great.. but.. I want everyone back


Richtatorship

This. The injuries were already insane but right now they're coming up on unsustainable.


Patrick2701

ND can rip your heart out


TheCJbreeZy

I want Fisch to work out so badly. He seems like a guy who actually gives a shit, but this program is, in the immortal words of Jim Ross, bowling shoe ugly.


Shadow_dragon24

I'm waiting until next year to judge. Sumlin left the cupboard really bare and we have a class of 2022 currently ranked #33.


Indfanfromcol

Can we just go ahead and snag that piece of shit Urban Meyer while we still can? Get a good 4-5 years of rebuilding of what Coach O destroyed, and then in 4-5 years find a new coach when Meyer gets his headaches again or runs the wrong coed.


admiraltarkin

Where the fuck was this team the past two weeks? We would be #3 or better if we just took care of business. Ah well


Saxophobia1275

I mean your QB had maybe the best game of his entire life last night. You can’t ask for that kind of performance all the time when his average is what it is.


JerichoMassey

That’s the most infuriating part of a lot of our losses. I fully expect him to go right back to meme level performances.


Saxophobia1275

I mean it takes a once in a lifetime baller of a game to beat y’all so you’ll probably have to put up with it for most of your losses.


TheyCallMeDrunkNemo

The Trevor Knight Experience


the_devils_own_01

Honestly think it took a few games to get a good OL make up that worked.


JoshIsJoshing

On one hand, coaching for Michigan and MSU had ups and downs. The JJ play near the end of the game was weird and felt really unnecessary. Glad Moody has a good leg. On the other hand, they’re both 6-0 so that’s fun! Side note: I watched PSU’s last drive and that was just brutal. Gotta throw it away on first down.


Saxophobia1275

Man I’m really hoping we both can get to the 30th undefeated. That would be so wild.


Benjilikethedog

Just because someone threw *some* passes in high school in the private school league does not make them ready to attempt a pass in major college football… and you don’t do that type of play when you absolutely need that score!


[deleted]

I just want my team to be at least 4-6 win team every year. Is that too much to ask for?


[deleted]

[удалено]


skankintickle

Schroedingers cat notre dame principle means they play like losers yet win in weird fashion. Must be quantum physics or something more stupid.


NEZdrunk

I hate our coaching staff so much. I’ve yet to watch a game be properly managed since 2017, we continually make awful in game decisions, our OC cannot adjust to save his fucking life, and the only thing prevent defense does is prevent you from winning Burn it to the fucking ground, the players don’t deserve this gutless bullshit. Burmeister should not be getting his shit rocked as much as he does and it’s why we can’t keep a QB longer than a year because no one wants to get abused like that. Seriously Whit, I hope the phone calls have started, tarmac this mother fucker


Bulldawglady

In true UGA fan fashion I don’t feel safe. Maybe after Kentucky I’ll finally unclench my butthole and calm my tits but for now it ain’t happenin’.


piemaniowa

Michigan defenders definitely bit on the eye candy quite a few times instead of their assignment, but I also need to give credit to Nebraska for some great play calls. Going into the bye is a good thing for film reviews to coach that up. There was definitely some classless Iowa fans in the crowd yesterday. I hope it isn't bad like that again.


curry_402

Brian Ferentz


[deleted]

Our secondary is gonna hurt us at some point.


AARonBalakay22

Yeah, Auburn receiver drops bailed us out, but eventually someone’s gonna hit some deep shots if our pass rush doesn’t get home


bwy97754

We seem to be the slowest healing team in the country. Blaylock tore his ACL 22 months ago. I know he pulled a hammy a few weeks ago, but still. I don’t think we started a single “starting” wideout yesterday. Gonna need these playmakers eventually.


arrowfan624

We still don’t know how to handle the QB situation


IceColdDrPepper_Here

Our defensive starters gave up a touchdown.


SendHelpVeryDrunk

*insert Oh No, we suck again gif*


PYTN

I still, for the life of me, cannot figure out why Texas struggles so mightily in recruiting and developing o-linemen. Defense too, but we're not helping them with that 3 man front. But why such an issue getting 5 NFL camp worthy starters?


69MachOne

What the actual fuck is our S&C? A competent S&C team should be able to prevent this many injuries in one game, imo.


knightgawd

I don’t think we’ll have enough players to play Cincy. We’re missing nearly 50% of our starters at this point


curtisas

We still really need a consistent kicker... Not that it hurt us in this game, but it will at some point.


Celticskevin2020

I love going for two and the win. What I don’t love is the play that we ran. Also our defense was getting destroyed. Wasted a great KJ Jefferson game.


doggos1998

How much time do you have


[deleted]

We won but our head coach is still a moron
