are these defenses really good...or do these QB's kinda suck? I can't tell. Maybe it's both?

Nix panics in the pocket, he has zero pocket presence at all. He tries to run immediately first sign of trouble. And his deep ball SUCKSSSSSSS. How was this kid a 5 star?

Clifford settling in looking good. Clifford can play. Nix? He is awful.

Now that I've sufficiently recovered from being fried on the metal benches of Folsom Field, a few thoughts:

-Much remains to be seen about the quality, or lack thereof, of this Colorado team. But to go into their building and completely shut them out is something impressive. 

-Holy cow, it was hot! It was okay early, but by the 4th quarter we were all severely sunburned and dehydrated. Altitude is a thing. 

-Washington is still the #1 setting in college football, but Colorado and Utah are close behind. Just gorgeous. 

More thoughts to come Monday.

Folsom is pretty good, outside of the 'bro crowd of dbags that sadly define an outsized % of CU students.

Within minutes of each other, both UGA and GT score on a safety.

SEC refs gonna SEC ref. 

Called a phantom intentional grounding call on Penn State and had Penn State thinking it was 4th down on 3rd down, causing them to punt on 3rd down.

Virginia's QB has 364 yyards passing......at halftime vs UNC.

didn't they just beat the crap out of Arizona last week? Maybe that job really is a perfect fit for Brady Hoke.

Welp, my Gators impressed me.  No, it's a loss and it's not good enough, but to get down 21-3 to Alabama and then bully them the rest of the game showed me something.

We outgained them by 100+ yards.  We didn't get the win, but I feel like we gave Ivan Drago a cut over his eye....he's not a machine, he's a man!  I'm hoping this game gets the fan base off Emory Jones' back. 
The difference in our OL from last year to now is astounding!  We couldn't run block vs a Directional School last year.  6 ypc vs Bama is man's work. 
I'm also hopeful we don't drop in the rankings. 
.
All that said, it's not good enough.  We should beat them in our house.  And maybe we shouldn't be 14 point dogs with 90,000 in the Swamp.

Nix does suck. 
He's a guy who marched the offense down the field in high school, but you're not exactly sure how he does it.  It just works.
But against good teams, he isn't good enough to do that.  Not a good enough athlete to run.  Not a very good passer.  It's hard to metriculate like that.
