i have never seen so many players fake injuries even the trainers went along by grabbing the players legs to make the fake look better . Then the player would get up and walk off like nothing happened

The only top 10 team to lose was 8 LSU. Do any of the teams currently ranked 11-15 crack the top 10? Does Notre Dame continue to stay ranked ahead of Texas A&M? 9 Clemson and 10 Iowa State were idle this week

15 Alabama defeats 21 Missouri….. 34-0
14 Texas A&M defeats 8 LSU…,,,,,,, 38-23
13 Indiana defeats Wisconsin……,,, 31-17
12 Notre Dame defeats 24 Navy….. 51-14
11 BYU defeats UCF……………,,,,,….., 37-24

Here my best guess:

8 Clemson, 9 Iowa State, 10 Notre Dame, 11 Texas A&M, 12 BYU, 13 Indiana, 14 Alabama, 15 LSU

Would you take him over Mike Denbrock? I’m kidding.

He’s stepped down at Utah. Odd timing.

Packers just ran it because Jordan Love has a groin thing. We’re just ahead of the times with offensive playcalling, right?

I’m guessing most certainly #2. Oregon would have a great win. So, they would be at #1. Penn State hasn’t played anybody yet. So, they would be ranked #3 or #4. And, Georgia, while having the best win, lost to a two loss team. Georgia would then fall in line behind Notre Dame. The Northern Illinois loss was devastating to Notre Dame’s resume.

Finally rewatched this and a few things stood out.

RL is just an absolute baller. Lucky we got him or we would have the Cards and an A&M loss.

Faison is our best WR. Better than Collins. Finally back and finished with most yards. Would not be close if not for the holding call that negated a Riley 25 yarder.

Love is a diff level. Even when he gets hit in the backfield he spins for 5.

We desperately need our #1 kicker back.

There is a drop off without B’’mo but not with Leonard Moore. Kid is a stud. But CG is a drop off.

Our OL is still pretty medium.

Kiser doesn’t get enough credit lining this young talent and making plays.

Bowen and KVA got schooled. Ausberry played well. Sneed was all over.

Junior is playing very well.

Thank god for Watts and Shuler.

Getting roughed up by the fighting Bret Bulimics!

Down 21-17. We’re up 14-0. Stadium looks like Stanford vs VaTech.

Heres' the full release from the Davey O'Brien Foundation:

FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 29, 2024) – The Davey O’Brien Foundation has revealed the 35 quarterbacks named to the Davey O’Brien QB Class of 2024. Each member of the group is now an official candidate to win the 2024 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.

This year’s class includes: Drew Allar (Penn State), Luke Altmyer (Illinois), Rocco Becht (Iowa State), Carson Beck (Georgia), Max Brosmer (Minnesota), Bryson Daily (Army West Point), Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss), Kyron Drones (Virginia Tech), Quinn Ewers (Texas), Dillon Gabriel (Oregon), Eli Holstein (Pitt), Josh Hoover (TCU), Blake Horvath (Navy), Will Howard (Ohio State), Kevin Jennings (SMU), Avery Johnson (Kansas State), Cade Klubnik (Clemson), Riley Leonard (Notre Dame), Maddux Madsen (Boise State), John Mateer (Washington State), Jordan McCloud (Texas State), Kyle McCord (Syracuse), Jalen Milroe (Alabama), Chandler Morris (North Texas), Garrett Nussmeier (LSU), Diego Pavia (Vanderbilt), Jake Retzlaff (BYU), Kurtis Rourke (Indiana), Shedeur Sanders (Colorado), Tyler Shough (Louisville), Brendan Sorsby (Cincinnati), Caden Veltkamp (Western Kentucky), Cam Ward (Miami), Hajj-Malik Williams (UNLV) and Ben Wooldridge (Louisiana).

The 35 quarterbacks have helped lead their respective teams to a combined record of 217-51 (.810), and all of the teams possess a record of better than .500 through week nine.

The next step in the process will be to select the award’s 16 semifinalists from the 35 quarterbacks. The semifinalists will be chosen based on voting from the Davey O’Brien National Selection Committee as well as bonus ballots awarded from the first round of the Davey O’Brien Fan Vote.

For the fifth straight year, the Fan Vote will take place on the award’s three social media platforms—Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (X)—and the top five vote getters on each platform will receive bonus committee member ballots which will be added to the votes cast by the National Selection Committee.

To participate in the Fan Vote, fans must like the original Davey O’Brien Award (@daveyobrien) post highlighting their quarterback. First-round voting will close Friday, Nov. 8 at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The semifinalists will be named on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Looking ahead, the three finalists will be tabbed on Tuesday, Nov. 26, while the winner will be announced live on Thursday, Dec. 12, on The Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN.

The Davey O’Brien Foundation was created in 1977, and the National Quarterback Award was first issued in 1981. Over its time, the Davey O’Brien Foundation has given away more than $1.3 million in scholarships and university grants to help high school and college athletes transform leadership on the field into leadership in life.

In 1938, O’Brien, who was a star quarterback for TCU, became the first player ever to win the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award in the same year. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955.

The Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award is presented annually to the nation’s best college quarterback and is the oldest and most prestigious national quarterback award. The 48th Annual Davey O’Brien Awards Dinner honoring the winner will be held Monday, Feb. 17, 2025, at The Fort Worth Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
