Pretty crazy how things can change. When we played Penn State about three weeks ago we completely took them apart. They were hitting barely above .000 for the match early in the third set. Great job fighting back.

Looks like it opened somewhere between -18.5 and -20.5. Most places don't have it up yet.

Is this an update on a timeline? Because he explicitly said "around December 19" last week. I'm guessing 10 days early is a bit too early. Not sure. It was pretty non-specific. If it was a week from now it would be close I guess.

Sounds like he's pretty solid to NU. Hasn't qualified academically but is very close. Academic support structure at NU is a selling point.

Sounds like we spent an entire day working on him and those around him - parents, coaches, etc. Put us in good position. We'll see if it pays off. Decision expected any day.

Not sounding good.

Saban must suck at recruiting.

I generally agree with your points. I've said since TA became the starter that he was terrible at decision-making. That's why I have given Langs credit for calling several games that basically took that decision-making out of TA's hands and forced the short throws. I just don't know why we went away from that in other games. I've also said I'll give Langs more time with an actual QB to work with. That's why he's not on my check-list in this thread. I don't dislike the general design of his offense. My worry is that he doesn't really put it to the best use. He really wants to throw the ball. And I'm not necessarily opposed to that, especially if we're completing mid-60%. But I don't think he has much feel for how to call the run game. And I think he'll be more prone to abandon the running game when he has a passing game that is more effective. Which will work in a lot of games because we have more talent than most teams we play. But I don't know if that will deliver championship-level football in the B1G in November. because we wanted to win that's why. Against those other teams we needed to open it up and hope for something good to happen. Because those secondary's would have shut that short simple stuff down easy. Langs wanted to call a more complicated air attack but armstrongs inexperience and aggressive decision making made a bad situation worse. That's a lot of speculation on your part. What are the better passing attacks that Iowa shut down this year? How many above average passing teams did Ohio State play? And considering those choices led to the worst blowouts of the year - one of the worst in school history in one case - it would seem that they were misguided.

Definitely more good teams. A lot more. Great teams? Tough to say. Depends on your reference point. It was a lot easier for probably 10-12 teams to be significantly better than most other teams 20-30 years ago. Now that number is probably 5-6 and seems to shift around from year to year a lot more than previously. So I would say there are fewer great teams relative to the competition they faced now than there used to be.

Georgia offered. Report is he's still pretty solid to Florida but USC might be making a push.
