Oh my...at the half, MSU is shooting 62.5%, 50% from 3, and 100% of FTs (9). But losing by 9 due to 17 turn-overs.. IN ONE HALF

Wow. Love weird games like that. Statistical oddities.

Out-shot Illinois, out FT'd them, out-rebounded them... but those 10 extra TOs were too much. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

After their historic 24 point game, NCSU goes out and scores 4 times that amount, 96... and still loses. They also set a record for most points they've ever given up to UNC in a game.

That was a really fun game to watch. UNC got a little complacement in the 2nd half (They were up 28 with 4 minutes left), but a solid game. Gives me a little hope.

Lane Kiffin offers scholarship to a baby.

I really like this move. Lane's taking a shot at himself and the trend of schools offering scholarships to younger and younger kids.

Stephen A. gets caught talking on a subject he doesn't know shit about.

Haskins is a runner like Dan Marino was a run first guy...

"more of a runner"
Dwayne Haskins Stats:
Passing - 4,831 yards and 50 TDs
Rushing - 108 yards 4 TDs
Also Gene Smith is leaving the CFP, which is great news because he sucks at fighting for the B10.

Stephen A. trying to defend his position.
Yes, people are responding with Bird Box memes...

In other news, Justin Fields has received immediately eligibility.

Clemson might have been "mistakenly" giving players PEDs.

Not at all shady for a program that starts winning out of nowhere.

??????????????????

The Heisman trophy is literally named for a Clemson coach. Though, to be fair, he was best known for his Ga Tech days.

They were strong in the 1980s and the 2000s before Dabo. Lots of top 25 finishes, and 1 national championship. Lots of ACC championships. This level of success wasn't that far away. It's not like Duke or UNC suddenly being great.

OSU ended up with the 13th recruiting class or something, however that goes up to 3rd when you consider size of class versus quality of recruits.

OSU only needed 17 guys this year.

Interesting perspective. Clemson falls pretty far in that list (down from 10 to 16). UNC stays the same around 39.

Three wins in a row! Why even bother holding the NCAA tournament?!

(Next up is at MSU, so three in a row was a nice run...)

Interestingly, OSU gets a lot of "probably in" while Clemson gets no love, despite Clemson leading OSU in NET by 1.
