Fall Camp News - Not Ohio State

Thought I’d make a thread for fall camp updates from around the country. Feel free to delete if it exists and I missed it.

According to Josh Pate Georgia didn’t have a great scrimmage this weekend based on their standards. Biggest concern is WR room. Struggling with dropped balls. Lots of unproven talent.

Same story with Clemson. Sounds like they their lack of NFL talent on the perimeter that was such a key to their success continues.

Sounds like Jalen Milroe had a good day at Alabama. Josh seems to think he’s going to be their guy and never bought into the Tyler Buchner noise. Expects them to be much more run heavy this year as most people have assumed.

Kind of random, but Utah’s backup QB had a bad injury. Sounds like season ending. Cam Rising is still recovering from his ACL injury and is apparently 50-50 for the Florida game which kind of sucks. Was looking forward to that rematch in Utah.

Feel free to contribute

Michigan has 93 scholarship players

Oklahoma has 87 scholarship players but 2 are ‘non-tradional’—receiving their scholarship from NIL only. Looks like Michigan has as many as 8 doing this, since they have 93 total ‘scholarship players.’ Nothing is fair in college football. Ohio State and the other top tier programs have plenty of advantages but limiting scholarships has been around for several decades. But apparently not anymore. Ohio State likely has at least one in this boat—Lorenzo Styles. I wonder if the days of over 100 scholarship players are on their way back?

The IRS Scandal

IRS Audits Poorest Families at Five Times the Rate for Everyone Else

Fact: Audits of EITC filers — lower-income workers — have “accounted for almost 31 percent of all IRS audits in the last 10 years.”



Air time on conservative networks: 0 hours

While the right pretends to be victims of IRS "scrutiny" over fake charities that funnel money to Republican political causes, they spend a grand total of 0 time acknowledging the real issues facing Americans.

So Police brutalize them, the state incarcerates them, inflation bankrupts them, then we allow the IRS to audit them at 5x the rate of everyone else.


Boy, thank God Republicans spent years telling us their plight of victimhood at the hands of the IRS.

Lot of good it did...

Sasso's shooters arrested

Arrested Monday, don't see any thread here.

A 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy were arrested Monday and charged with aggravated robbery and felonious assault, among other things, in connection with the shooting, according to WBNS.

One of the teenagers allegedly involved had 11 warrants out for her arrest, per the report. The other had been released from the Department of Youth Services just five days before the shooting. They are due in court Sept. 5.

Any lawyers here that can explain why no attempted murder? Shot in the abdomen and left unable to get himself to a hospital, that's fatal quite often.

Question for Austin, Bill & Birm

During the conversations about the possible QB rotation for the Indiana game, some have predicted McCord and Brown alternating quarters, halves or after every third series. Everyone wants each QB to get "meaningful" snaps.
I don't think anyone has asked, or answered, what happens if after McCord leads three 10-play touchdown drives (30 plays) and then Brown goes into the game with the football at the 45-yard line. On first down, Henderson scampers 35 yards on a handoff to the 25-yard line. On second down, Brown hits Harrison with a 25-yard TD pass. 2 plays.
On the second Brown series, Brown scrambles for 15 yards. Passes to Tate for 25 yards and then makes a pop-pass to Egbuka who takes it 20 yards for another touchdown. 3 plays
After the defense gets a turnover (pass interception) at the 30-yard line, Brown passes to Cade Stover for a TD on first down. 1 play
Brown's opportunity consists of 5 or 6 plays for 3 TDs. Then it's McCord's turn again.
After McCord's second three series, it's the middle of the third quarter and the Bucks have a 42 to 7 lead. Does Day/Hartline allow Brown to use the full playbook? Or, does he handoff each snap to Hayden, Pryor and Trayanum running behind the second team OL?

Phil Steele’s Vegas Power Rankings

This is not the AP poll but gives you an idea of how much teams would be favored over another team if they met on a neutral field. I use these to get an idea of lines on upcoming games. Keep in mind just because a team beat someone last week does not mean they would be favored over them in the Vegas ratings. I will update these each week during the year as always.

Jeremiah Smith returning to OSU in September

he told us he wasn't sure of the game, but he'll be back in town soon. Again, the in-state schools will also receiver trips but this has long been his contingency plan.
