Dude was gassed.   In all fairness, it was about 100 degrees in Columbia but he was off the field on D as often as he was on it.   And the next time he reads a screen will be the first time.  He wasn't even really playing football as much as he was looking for a highlight hit.

In a way, I feel bad for him as he'll be picked apart for everything this season but he didn't look like a #1 pick, the best defensive player in CFB or a Heisman candidate last night.


The "next" Clowney, Robert Nkemdiche is going to grow into a DT.    But this was fun:

This gif isn't even from the NC-SC game...

Uh, that's Nkemdiche on a fake punt.   Did you even read the post?

It would take a ridiculous stat line for a DL to get a Heisman along with no supremely standout offensive players.

You'd probably have to run him on some offensive gimmicks to get him cheap TD's as well.

There's a lot of talk of him as a candidate.    Of course, I think he's let that get in his head and that's why he was looking for highlight hits instead of playing football.

BTW, he should have beat the **** out of this dude:

My bad, Nkemdiche looks like such a natural running the ball that I didn't realize anything was amiss/out of character lol.

FWIW, he played hard in his last CFB game and didn't dance around the "Are you going pro?" question like so many others have.   "Yes, sir" was direct and to the point.

Ridiculous 40 time gives Houston an out.    Draft him, let Schaub have another year and hope next year's class produces a more certain QB.

I don't think Matt Schaub will be on the team. He has no interest in being there and the Houston fans have zero interest in him being there.

I don't know his contract status but I imagine that plays into it.   I don't think the Texans care what Schaub or the fans want.   Assuming they pass on Manziel.

they will pass on Manziel.  Looks like Bridgewater has the slight edge over Clowney for #1.

Teddy Bridgewater is a more highly-touted version of Geno Smith.

Bridgewater is about twice as smart as Smith.    Maybe 3 times as smart.
