SEC Spring ‘18: LSU

By Kyle Francis | April 21, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ‘18: LSU

Quarterback Few positions have been as disappointing as the LSU QBs over the past decade. History tells me to skip this section altogether and get right to the RBs and the defense. Instead of using a bunch of my own words, I’m going to borrow from Billy Gomila from And The Valley Shook: “In the …

ACC Spring ’18: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

By Kyle Francis | April 20, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

TaQuon Marshall had one of the most impressive season-opening performances in 2017. He ran for 44-249-5 against Tennessee. He had five other games where he had 20+ carries and finished as the overall CFF QB21. The main area where Marshall will need to improve his game is as a passer. Being an effective runner is …

SEC Spring ‘18: Alabama Crimson Tide

By Kyle Francis | April 20, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ‘18: Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama has a QB controversy. Life is funny sometimes. If Tua Tagovailoa wouldn’t have gotten an opportunity in the CFP Final against Georgia, there may not be a controversy. The fact that he came in the game and made a play so incredible that it would have been too far-fetched for movies really opened the …

FCS Spotlight: Jaelon Acklin, WR, Western Illinois

By James Hanmore | April 20, 2018 | Comments Off on FCS Spotlight: Jaelon Acklin, WR, Western Illinois

Jaelon Acklin may not be on everyone’s radar this draft season, but I am going to do my best to convince you to get him on yours. With a background in basketball, track & field, and obviously football, Jaelon Acklin has earned all-state honors in three different disciplines over three years. He received all-state honors …

SEC Spring ‘18: Georgia Bulldogs

By Kyle Francis | April 19, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ‘18: Georgia Bulldogs

Quarterback Georgia has a pretty good problem on their hands at QB. Which future NFL QB should they start? Similar to [profiler]Nick Chubb[/profiler] or [profiler]Sony Michel[/profiler] debate, this will undoubtedly create some spirited conversations at the barbershop. Jake Fromm took over for an injured Jacob Eason in the opening game, and he never looked back. Fromm completed 62% …

SEC Spring ‘18: Mississippi State

By Kyle Francis | April 18, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ‘18: Mississippi State

Joe Moorhead was hired to build on the sturdy foundation that Dan Mullen assembled in Starkville. The offense will look quite different, but many of the current players on the roster should be good fits for the new scheme. Nick Fitzgerald suffered a gruesome ankle injury in last year’s Egg Bowl. He has been limited …

Oakland Raiders 7 Round Mock Draft

By Joshua Johnson | April 17, 2018 | Comments Off on Oakland Raiders 7 Round Mock Draft

I have been Raider fan since Marcus Allen “ran” with the night. They were literally my first love. My unwavering allegiance is as sick as it is irrational. I try like hell to not let my heart influence my fantasy brain. Doing an article like is basically just for fun. But it can also be therapeutic. …

SEC Spring ’18: Tennessee Volunteers

By Kyle Francis | April 17, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Tennessee Volunteers

  There has been an overhaul of Tennessee football. It seems like ages ago that they were the brunt of every joke for their embarrassing coaching hire process. Overall, I like the hires that they made, but I don’t think they will pay many dividends in 2018. Tyson Helton takes over as offensive coordinator, and …

By Kyle Francis | April 16, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Notre Dame

Quarterbacks Yeah, yeah, they aren’t technically in the ACC, but for all intents and purposes, they are. Starting these previews at the QB spot is perfect as we get into the oft-maligned position from last season. I had very high hopes for Brandon Wimbush last season. I pegged him as a Heisman Dark Horse and …

ACC Spring ’18: University of North Carolina Tar Heels

By Kyle Francis | April 16, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: University of North Carolina Tar Heels

  Quarterback UNC elected not to go with a traditional spring scrimmage this season. The reasoning behind this choice was the thought that they would get twice as many reps for their young team by going with an alternative strategy. Starting at the top, there is a QB controversy in Chapel Hill. Chazz Surratt had …

Intro: After a promising true freshman season (29 receptions, 429 yards 14.2 YPC and 2 TDs), A.J. Brown had a breakout campaign in 2017 for the Ole Miss Rebels. His 75 receptions were 33 more than his next closest teammate. His 1,252 yards were nearly twice as much as any other Rebel. His 16.7 YPC …

ACC Spring ’18: Florida State Seminoles

By Kyle Francis | April 14, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Florida State Seminoles

Florida State has always recruited well so it shouldn’t surprise me as much as it has that they have as many good options as they do at QB. Deondre Francois is the presumed favorite after getting QB1 reps for all of 2016 and the 2017 opener where he was injured. He is still rehabbing the …

ACC Spring ’18: Miami Hurricanes

By Kyle Francis | April 14, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Miami Hurricanes

Miami had an incredible resurgence in 2017. They rattled off ten consecutive wins. Some would say it was largely due to the play of Malik Rosier while others would contend that it was in spite of his play. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. When you look at his raw stats, he completed 54% …

SEC Spring ’18: Kentucky Wildcats

By Kyle Francis | April 13, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Kentucky Wildcats

The biggest question that needs answering is who will be the QB for the Cats this fall? Stephen Johnson had plenty of flaws but what’s the old saying, “the devil you know is better than the devil ya don’t?” The thing that makes this really interesting is that the two players that are vying for …

Philosophers have wondered for ages, what will LALJ be like? Life after Lamar Jackson is scary. The most electric and dominant CFF QB of the forward pass era, Jackson now takes his talents to the NFL, and Jawon “Puma” Pass has the unenviable task of replacing him. Full disclosure, if you asked me last year …

By Kyle Francis | April 12, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Pittsburgh Panthers

There aren’t many bright spots on this Pitt offense other than QB Kenny Pickett. He didn’t get a ton of work as a true freshman in 2017 but he made his lone start count. Against Miami, he went 18 of 29 for 193 yards and a TD while rushing for 13-60-2 in the 24-14 win. …

ACC Spring ’18: Duke Blue Devils

By Kyle Francis | April 12, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Duke Blue Devils

There are some holes to fill for Duke this season, but QB is not one of them. Daniel Jones enters his third season as the starter for Duke. I am a huge fan of Jones. Last season, I expected him to build upon some of the terrific games he had as a rFR in 2016, …

By Kyle Francis | April 11, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Virginia Tech Hokies

After seeing Josh Jackson play the first four games of his rFR last season it would be inconceivable to think he wasn’t a lock to be the starter at VT for at least two, maybe three more years. As it happens with many young players, particularly QBs, he regressed and finished the season playing like …

Dabo Swinney has done a marvelous job of building Clemson into one of the premier programs in college football. Every position group is seemingly loaded with NFL players, and the quarterback room is no exception. Kelly Bryant had the unenviable task of following behind one of college football’s all-time greats in Deshaun Watson. Bryant was …

Anthony Brown showed some promise at QB for Boston College in 2017. He injured his knee towards the end of the season and has missed spring practice as a result. I don’t think he’s in serious jeopardy of losing his job in the fall, but there are two other guys who are running with the …

Missouri will be implementing a new offense this season after former OC, Josh Heupel, took the head job at UCF. The good news is they return one of the most talented QBs in college football. Drew Lock finished last season as the CFF QB5. He had this to say in regards to their new offense, …
