Hayden Moore named starter at Cincinatti over Gunner Kiel. A lot of UC Reddit and Twitter whispering that Gunner has been abusing painkillers since last year due to his multitude of injuries.

Tuberville ruined that kids career. Still remember seeing him play a game last year when he should have been out with a concussion.

Oregon starting CB Chris Seisay leaves team

View media item 2141875
Oregon junior cornerback Chris Seisay has decided to transfer after leaving the program this past weekend, Seisay confirmed via text message to OregonLive.com.

According to the website, Seisay has been granted a full release.

Seisay had 55 tackles, six passes breakups, a forced fumble and an interception in 18 career games. He filled in during the Ducks 2015 Rose Bowl game for injured All-American corner Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.

His success in that game earned him a starting role for the following season. He started the first two games before suffering an ankle injury that required surgery and caused him to miss the next eight games.

Seisay told OregonLive.com he was slated to start this season, but decided to leave because he felt he wasn’t on good terms with the program.

Seisay’s absence leaves the Ducks very young at cornerback. Arrion Springs and Ugo Amadi are his likely replacements and safety Tyree Robinson played corner last year while Seisay was injured.
 
On the Beat: Swinney wants Clemson rookie Feaster to reach a higher gear

CLEMSON — Last week was spent hearing Clemson coaches rave over freshman tailback Tavien Feaster, and fans reading and reporting about Feaster salivating over the Spartanburg product’s potential.

It seems the coaching staff wants to pump the brakes on that storyline, following a couple of scrimmages the second week of fall camp.

After some constructive criticism Wednesday following team drills, head coach Dabo Swinney was more pointed in his review of Feaster after Saturday’s formal scrimmage at Memorial Stadium.

“Feaster, right now, he just doesn’t play fast enough,” Swinney said. “We all know this guy is an absolute jet; he’s a finesse player right now. We’ll get that out of him. He’s got a gear that not many people have, but he runs in fourth gear, and we know he’s got that fifth gear. He makes some 20-yard-runs that ought to be 50-yarders. He’s just kind of a cruiser right now.”

On Wednesday, Swinney had said similar things about Feaster regarding playing in a higher gear and “cruising” on the field. Feaster should be in the rotation this year, but if he’s not starting and averaging 50 snaps per game, coaches would like to see his full potential on every play he gets.

“He’s not doing bad, he’s fine. We just know he’s playing at 65 miles an hour and he’s an above-the-speed-limit guy. He’s got a lot more under than the engine than we’re getting right now. When he’s in there, he needs to be electric. When he touches it, people (should be) holding their breath.”

As a true freshman, Feaster will not be made available to reporters to speak for himself until he plays in a game this fall.

Other backs

Meanwhile, Swinney gushed over returning starter Wayne Gallman: “He’s been as good a guy as we’ve had in camp. His effort is tremendous. His drive every single day is an inspiration to his teammates.”

According to scrimmage stats provided, second-stringer Adam Choice had two 65-yard runs and three touchdowns, though Swinney said his pass protection “has got to be a little more complete.”

No stealing

In Sports Illustrated’s college football preview this week, an anonymous opposing coach was quoted as saying “defensive coordinator Brent Venables does a great job, but he’s late getting his calls in. That’s because they’re probably as good as anybody at stealing signs, and Venables is waiting to see your offensive call.”

Venables was unaware of the comments until Saturday’s media session, and was skeptical of the topic. He said he wasn’t even sure it’s true the Tigers typically call in defensive plays later than other teams.

Even so, to the idea of stealing signs, that would seem a harsh way of saying the defense is reading the offensive formation before settling on a call.

“We’re making sure they’re not stealing mine,” Venables said. “If I give it out quick, they have a diagnosis.

“If I got their plays, (they) haven’t done a very good job.”

No Renfrow

Starting wide receiver Hunter Renfrow skipped Saturday’s scrimmage with a strained hamstring, joining cornerback Marcus Edmond and linebacker Jalen Williams with that malady.

“We all know he’s a good player,” Swinney said. “Probably could have gone today, but we held him.”

Kiel checked into a rehab facility during the offseason. He was running with 3rd team most of camp too, so it's not surprising that he wasn't named the starter.

Is Jalen Hurts that good, or is this a reflection on the other guys? Can't believe that Bama is going to have a black frosh QB.

could just be the coaches feeding nonsense to reporters. But word out of Bama all offseason is that Bateman can't throw the ball 25 yards and that Barnett is a turnover machine. Cornwell isn't even in the conversation.
 
Week 1 predictions?

Bama over USC

Ole Miss over FSU

LSU over Wisky

Clemson over Auburn

Houston over OU

UNC over UGA
 
I was reminded today that JD Booty was the first person ever to leave high school a whole year early to play college football. Got burn on that super stacked USC team his high school senior year too.

-----------------

Bama over USC, unless Cooper Bateman starts, then USC over Bama.

FSU over Ole Miss

LSU over Wisky

Clemson over Auburn

OU over Houston

UNC over UGA

Brady Hoke let that QB take a beating after he was already a statue in the pocket because he hurt his leg earlier in the game.

A little of both, probably...

I love Jalen, but if any of those other dudes were worth a damn, you'd think they'd lean towards not starting a true freshman.

If that's the case someone should have advised him to just sit this season out.

I feel for him though, and hope the addiction isn't something that lingers throughout the rest of his life.
 
So are Bateman and Hurts going to be splitting snaps until Bama is comfortable enough with Hurts that he can shoulder the whole load?

It'd probably be wise of Barnett to transfer now if he ain't at least #2 on the DC. He's already burned a RS and is getting passed up by a TR FR.
