A Friday night game, after Texas against WSU?...And you know that WSU is not playing anyone until SC...

And why would you ever play Stanford and Texas back to back...

A bye week before Colorado?....who needs a bye week before Colorado?....

After last years debacle, it seems that SC should get the memo if they want to compete for a NC...

I know these schedules are made years in advance, but it's time to schedule San Jose in November and save the bye for a marquee out of conference opponent or one of the traditional rivals...

That's Central Catholic HS in Oregon. It's Eli'Jah Winston's alma mater.

You ask, we answer...

I would take Darnold #1 for a fact. I know I’m going to get killed for this second part here but Rosen is a very very close second. Any team who passes on him for Allen or Mayfield is completely insane. Besides maybe having injury risk I’m rolling with Rosen over the rest of those dudes (except Darnold) all day.

I wouldn’t even draft Josh Allen in the 2nd round. I don’t see it at all.

Basically the NCAA admits to mistakes but say it did not affect the case.

Debate of the day: how would you rank the six projected first-round quarterbacks (Darnold, Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, Jackson, Rudolph) based on pro potential?

Here's my list

1. Sam Darnold

2. Josh Rosen

3. Josh Allen

4. Baker Mayfield

5. Lamar Jackson

6. Mason Rudolph

I know it’s early but Oregon is killing usc on the recruiting trail. They just picked up a commitment from mase funa and lead for multiple top usc targets like dollars and criddell. I think usc moved on from keyon Ware-Hudson but they got him too.

I've just been informed that Jack Driscoll is on USC's campus right now. His visit is expected to finish up on Friday.

Driscoll, a redshirt sophomore from Madison, Conn., started for UMass over the majority of the past two football seasons. He recently graduated and is now looking to transfer.

According to his profile on the UMass athletic's site, Driscoll primarily played right tackle for the Minutemen but also played a significant number snaps at left guard. He has also contributed a bit at left tackle. He's listed at 6-foot-5 and 294-pounds.

Phil Steele placed Driscoll on his All-Independent first team after the 2017 season.
