How good is Dana Holgorsen at this offense thing? Just ask fans from his previous stops ...

-WVU fan. He’s an offensive savant. Well liked among most donors at WVU. Loves to party but he loves film room and coaching. Not a fan of recruiting.

-The Skullet will have that side of the ball fixed quicker than he can smash 12 vodka redbulls.

-He’s gonna make your QB a first round pick.

Did I miss a topic on the Donnie Raiola postgame deal?

SIAP, I don't remember seeing any discussion of this. I'm assuming most of you saw the video of one of the cops escorting Fickell running over and grabbing Donovan Raiola? Anyway, Fickell claims he didn't even know it happened. I don't believe him, and this piques my interest even more. I wonder what the hell actually happened? Rhule obviously didn't want to touch it either when asked earlier this week.

is Travis Hunter the likely #1 overall pick in the NFL draft? (fantasy football related)

AND, if so, I HAVE to assume he'll play WR at the next level.

Our keeper league does an annual collge draft and I have the #1 overall pick this year (I drafted Cam Ward of Miami last year and so he counts toward one of my college picks THIS yaer ... but he might be the #1 QB taken this year given how dudes like the Georgia QB have regressd ... maybe the QB from Tennessee)

but - I am leaning toward taking Hunter as a sure fire, deep field WR threat in the mold of a Ja'Marr Chase or George Pickens ... plug & play and set it and forget it cuz Hunter's measurables are the kind you expect to see out of a true #1 overall pick ...
