In reply to: I disagree on a rematch with Cincy posted by Jvan
They haven't looked great lately, but my feeling is they are worn down to an extent because they don't have tons of depth. We could play them next week and win.
The problem with playing them again is they would get a month's rest before a bowl game and have plenty of time to recharge. They are also well coached as we have seen. To say the game wouldn't be close is disrespectful to them and overrates our offense. Left tackle is not a huge problem anymore but the rest of the line (particularly Madden and Lugg) are not that good.
I don't think Cincy belongs on the field with Georgia, Alabama or Ohio State, but neither do we.
coaching change. I think Fickell will be highly sought after, and there are some really plum positions likely to be available.
I could see maybe Penn State, if Franklin takes the USC job, or Michigan State, if Tucker takes the LSU job. But beyond that? I don't think he's interested in any of the Pac-12 jobs, and he doesn't even seem to be on LSU's radar. I suppose Virginia Tech is a possibility, but I don't think that job is as good as the perception around it, and it's a bit of a reach for Fickell under any circumstances.
It's been posited here that he's interested either in Ohio State, Michigan or ND, and none of those jobs figures to open up this year.
your breath.
the big boys like ND and the best of Power 5 have. They get used to playing and adapting. We still have Colzie and Styles despite all our injuries. Alt playing as a FR is an incredible luxury I have to believe many don't have. Our DL is so deep and kept fresh with rotations.
Of course imagine the depth at UGA and Bama. Must be incredible to behold as a coach on the sidelines.
We will jump them
