As great as they are throwing the ball I don’t think they’d be in the game if they weren’t excellent runners too. The game is really an eye-opener for those who still don’t see mobile QBs as the answer nowadays.

What's with ESPN's telecast when they go to replay and then the ESPN logo comes on and you lose the stream ever so briefly. When it comes back it seems like you missed some of the feed at times. Very annoying...

If you love football, I hope that you have taken the opportunity to view the various ESPN broadcast of the game, including the field view, ref room, coaches film room, sky cam etc.
Will give you multiple perspectives of the action.

Did Joe Burrow just complete the greatest ever single season for a college football player? 60 touchdown passes! What other players/seasons might challenge: Tim Tebow, Barry Sanders, Randy Moss, who else?

I think I heard the announcers say Burrow won the Heisman by the greatest margin ever so you may be on to something.
Even those remaining few who reflexively dislike the athletic redshirt and the new world of the college 'transfer' have to admit things worked out quite well for the athlete (Burrow) and the new school. In his case he graduated in three years (one a redshirt year) from Ohio State and thus arrived as a graduate transfer with immediate (and two years of) eligibility. Both of the LSU QBs he beat out for the starting job then transferred.

My Alabama alum friend tells me that :
"LSU opponents won...
The ACC The Big 12 The SEC East The Orange Bowl The Fiesta Bowl The Sugar Bowl The Citrus Bowl The Alamo Bowl The Texas Bowl
7 were ranked in the top 10 when they played.”
Sagarin has LSU facing the 3rd toughest schedule in D-1. Auburn finished 9-4 against the 2nd toughest and South Carolina 4-8 against the toughest schedule

Espn very briefly flashed the few :winners of the Heisman, undefeated team, national champ the only one I caught was Johnny Lujack.

the willingness of today's college qb to transfer schools when not named the starter shows the superficial relationship between players and the schools they "represent".

/\ I've heard coaches will often leave when they get 'better' offers and schools will fire coaches when they start losing so I suppose one could conclude those coach-school relationships can be similarly superficial.

/\ No doubt students, student-athletes, coaches, and colleges act in their own self-interest. (It is also true that fans can fling accusations of disloyalty at athletes and coaches when they look to leave or actually depart - see that all the time. Just recently Baylor fans were saying that about Coach Rhule.)

My wife transferred to Holy Cross at the beginning of her junior year. She did not play a sport.
93% of Holy Cross freshman return for sophomore year, meaning 7% transfer (or just drop out).
Kids transfer from college all the time because the college they picked wasn't a fit for them - for a multitude of reasons. When the number of student athletes transferring exceeds the general student population, I'll get concerned. Until then, I'll continue to believe that 18 - 22 year olds are allowed to make "bad" choices because it's what 18 - 22 year olds do.

On the other thread (men's basketball) it's coincidentally being discussed that Drew Lowder (hoops frosh) may be transferring out. Not sure HC qualifies as his alma mater and not sure anybody is going to say he is being disloyal. Sometimes there are situations where everyone thinks the student athlete's transfer is a good move. And the 'loyalty' notion - -even from quarters that occasionally voice it - conveniently vanishes.

(locally, word is that joe montana pulled his son out of one high school with a very good football program when his son was not named starting qb.) so far i have not heard anything at the grammar school level but am waiting.

"Illegal blindside block" and "Targeting" is ruining football. Defenders can't eliminate crossers, can't hit receivers coming across the middle, and basically aren't allowed to play defense. Might as well recruit high school track stars and put flags on them.
All receiving records in the "targeting era" should have an asterisk next to it. If I am a "receiver", I would lower my head every time I got the ball.
The phrase, "Keep Your Head In A Swivel" is no more in this era that incentives victimhood.

His heisman acceptance speech was awesome.

Transfers are as old as college football itself. This is not a new phenomenon. Just better publicized.
