I’ve had a hard time updating this week because of a lower back issue, but intend to keep rolling with more posts, round-ups, mock drafts, and big boards on a weekly basis. As a matter of fact, let’s start with a top-20 big board right now that has one name (Roger McCreary) that we’ve either never or RARELY have brought up before.

I’m posting this on Saturday morning, just to get it out there, and will do another update after this week of games. It’s a little short and random.

College Football Notes

• Wake Forest scored 70 points in 17 minutes of game time/time of possession. “There’s no one else on the planet running what they run,” said an opposing coach. “[Ruggiero] is the best offensive coordinator in the country and Clawson is the best coach in the ACC. It’s not even close. How Michigan or someone like that doesn’t go after him is nuts. I know it’s not sexy, but rarely do you see a team fix their flaws on offense from year to year like they do.”"

• Said Clawson: “I joke that we run the triple option from sexier formations,” Clawson told Yahoo Sports last week. “It’s really what we do. We line up as a spread offense. ... And in most of our plays, there’s a run or dive aspect, a quarterback run aspect and instead of a pitch, there’s a pass aspect.
  “A lot of the plays that we run have those three elements to it. And so it really becomes a systematic, repetition offense. When you run most offenses — the defense does this, we’re going to do this. We build those answers into our plays.”

• Michigan DE Aidan Hutchinson is by far the best NFL prospect nominated for the William V Campbell trophy this week. He has a 3.54 GPA in Applied Exercise Science. Makes sense, he looks like he exercises.

• Pac-12 Players of the Week for Week 8: RB B.J. Baylor, DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, RG Nous Keobounnam, LB Noah Sewell.

• I like to keep track of good NIL stories and this is one about potential legal problems ahead.

• Georgia RB Zamir White was in dire straights many years ago — when he was a fetus actually — and a doctor advised his mother to even abort the pregnancy because of health concerns. She didn’t, White was born with a few health issues and was “given two weeks to live” but he clearly pulled through and is one of the top running back prospects in the country.

• On college students rushing the field.

Short and random!
