Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson will be part of a 'sneaky good' QB class

I have a feeling this year's class... Pat Mahomes, Mitch Trubisky, Deshaun Watson, and even DeShone Kizer, all four have a chance to be sneaky good, I think, in the NFL. So maybe that trend's reversing back a little bit.

Mahomes and Watson became elite stars. Trubisky was a bust/journeyman and Kizer was out of the league quickly. Overall, the class was indeed legendary due to the top two.

Fall starts when August ends

This is what I consider to be the start of fall. I'm a big September 21st truther. I think that fall starts when August ends.

Fall astronomical start is usually September 21-23.

Ohio State has a 0% chance of losing to Indiana

I said, nope, I'm just going to say it on the show. There's a 0% chance Ohio State loses this game [to Indiana]. So now if it happens, it'll be funny.

Ohio State won the game 49-21 on August 31, 2017.

Nick Saban would score 100 points on Lane Kiffin if they played

He's [Saban] not playing against Lane Kiffin. So make that 10-1. Saban would probably go like, he'd put up a 100 burger.

OpinionCFBHotSarcastic
While they played several times, Saban never put up 100 points on Kiffin.

Nick Saban smiles for less than two minutes after winning a national championship

Oh, fellas, you said two minutes. I'd take the under. I really would. That's a lock of the decade. Because even after we won the national championship, in the locker room, not kidding, we have the crystal ball in hand... He went into the locker room and said, 'hey, guys, great job... you know that's not how we play in the second half.'

Anecdotal but widely corroborated by other former Alabama players.

Alabama would have lost by 40 points to Texas in 2010 if Colt McCoy didn't get hurt

I think we would have lost by at least 40. It's in large part, too, because if you guys have been to the Rose Bowl in January, it's that humidity. It's the humidity in the air that gets you, and I'm just not sure we were conditioned well enough to hang if Colt didn't get hurt.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
This is a hyperbolic hypothetical. Alabama won the game 37-21; a 40-point swing is clearly an intended joke.

I was carried by my defense while playing quarterback at Alabama

The national championship ring still meant something because I knew that I was carried by my defense, so just being a good teammate was a big part of what I wanted to do that year.

The 2009 Alabama defense was historically elite, allowing only 11.7 points per game. McElroy was a solid game manager, but the defense was the primary engine.
