2024.12.09 05:34 GPTSportsWriter Prediction: Abilene Christian Wildcats VS Baylor Bears 2024-12-09 20

The Baylor Bears, one of the powerhouses in college basketball, are taking on the Abilene Christian Wildcats. On paper, this looks like a total mismatch, with the Bears being a whopping 21-point favorite across most sportsbooks. I mean, who needs a competitive game when you can just watch a team dominate, right? But, as we all know, upsets can happen, and the Wildcats might just have a few tricks up their sleeve. After all, underdogs do win about 25% of the time in basketball. Not a great percentage, but hey, it's better than nothing. Looking at the odds, you can get the Wildcats at +21 points with a price of 1.91 at most bookmakers. The Bears, on the other hand, are -21 points with the same price. The oveunder is set at 142.5 points, with the over and under both priced at 1.91. My prediction? The Bears will likely come out on top, but I think the Wildcats can keep it within 20 points. I mean, 21 points is a lot to cover, even for a team as good as Baylor. So, my best bet would be to take the Wildcats +21 points. It's not the most exciting bet, but it's a relatively safe one. And hey, if you're feeling fancy, you could always take the over 142.5 points. The Bears have been known to put up some big numbers, and the Wildcats might just get caught up in a shootout. But let's be real, the Bears are the clear favorites here, and it's going to take a lot for the Wildcats to pull off the upset. So, if you're looking for a fun bet, take the Wildcats +21 points. But if you want a sure thing, just take the Bears to win outright. Your wallet (and your sanity) will thank you.

Bobby Bishop's 2025 NFL Draft Big Board 1.0 Top 50 Prospects

My NFL Draft Big Board 1.0 highlights my top 50 prospects for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, providing analysis of the top-25 players. This article delves into player evaluations, detailing standout skills, potential draft positions, and suitability for various NFL teams. With insights into both offensive and defensive players, this big board serves as a valuable resource for NFL fans who wish to stay up to date with the top incoming rookies in 2025.

Top 10 2025 NFL Draft Big Board

No. 1 Travis Hunter CB 1 WR 2 Colorado 6’1” 185 Lbs.

Travis Hunter is the best player in the draft. In my opinion, he’s the best cornerback and second-best receiver wrapped up in one. Obviously, quarterbacks get pushed up in the draft, but Travis Hunter has a serious chance at being the first overall pick come April. As a recruit, Hunter was a five-star ATH, and

Three years have passed, and nothing has changed.

In 2024, Hunter has developed from primarily a slot receiver (64.3% of snaps in the slot) to an outside receiver (5.7% of snaps in the slot). His effortless acceleration has helped him rack up 396 yards after the catch. His insane vertical allows him to win 50/50 balls with ease. As a cornerback, Travis Hunter has the best skills I’ve ever seen from a corner. Quarterbacks have a 42.0 NFL Passer Rating against Hunter. As elite as Hunter is on both sides, I can’t bet against him playing both in the NFL if he wants. Overall, Travis Hunter is the best player in the draft and should be a top-3 pick in any scenario.

No. 2 Ashton Jeanty RB 1 Boise State 5’9” 215 Lbs.

This spot is not an indication of where I think Jeanty will get drafted. Instead, this ranking showcases his blue-chip status as a running back prospect. The perceived lack of value of the position and the running back depth and talent in the 2025 RB class may push Ashton Jeanty down in the draft, as teams look to add a running back on Day 2 instead of investing in Jeanty in the early 1st Round. In

I sent Ashton Jeanty to the Washington Commanders with the 21st overall selection. I believe the early twenties is his floor, but based on talent, he deserves to get drafted much earlier.

Ashton Jeanty does everything. He runs up the middle, breaking and dodging tackles. He has the athleticism to hurdle tacklers at the second level. Boise State hasn’t utilized Jeanty as much in the passing game in 2024, but he has put that on tape as well, going for over 500 yards receiving in 2023. His ability to make players miss in open space is extraordinary. Ashton Jeanty will be a game-changing weapon for whichever offense adds him.

No. 3 Mason Graham DT 1 Michigan 6’3” 320 lbs.

This defensive tackle class is special and Mason Graham is the headliner. Graham is a force to reckon with on the interior. He has the ability to take over and dominate a game, like he did against Ohio State to end the regular season. In that rivalry game, Mason Graham neutralized the Buckeyes' explosive run game to the tune of 7 total tackles.

Mason Graham is a very capable pass rusher as well. While 3.5 sacks look unimpressive on paper, his constant disruption on film conveys that the sack numbers do not tell the full story. His 34 pressures tied him for 3rd in FBS in pressures created. Mason Graham is an elite interior defensive lineman prospect who will be a top-10 pick in April.

No. 4 Malaki Starks S 1 Georgia 6’1” 205 lbs.

Malaki Starks has many traits desirable in a safety, but his athleticism and discipline stand out to me. His leaping ability and body control are testament to his athleticism, which he showcased

He has also shown discipline on and off the field. On play action and RPO reads, Starks has very disciplined eyes and feet to make sure he doesn’t get caught stepping up and give up a big play behind him.

Coaches and scouts have raved about his off the field self-control, acting like a true professional in the classroom, weight room, and in all aspects of his life. He lives and breathes football, which is the exact type of player I want at the back of my defense. Malaki Starks is the best safety in the draft, and he will be drafted in the first half of Round 1.

No. 5 Will Johnson CB 2 Michigan 6’2” 202 lbs.

Despite a tough 2024 season fighting through injury, Will Johnson will be one of the most coveted players in the 2025 NFL Draft. In his three-year Michigan career, Will Johnson accumulated more interceptions (9) than total penalties (7). He was an important contributor for Michigan winning the 2024 National Championship, holding opponent QBs to just a 30.9 NFL Passer Rating. A toe injury limited Will Johnson to just 6 games played in 2024, but in those games, he still managed to snag two pick sixes.

Will Johnson has great size for an NFL cornerback to match up with alpha receivers. He has very smooth hips, mirroring receivers well. He is the type of corner that you can leave isolated on an island and trust him to handle his receiver in man coverage. Teams learned not to throw to his side of the field, only garnering 4.3 targets against him per game in 2024. He is in the midst of a tough battle for the CB1 spot with Travis Hunter, with a drop off in the cornerback class after those two guys. Will Johnson is going to be a Day 1 starting cornerback for the NFL team that takes him in the top-10.

No. 6 Tetairoa McMillan WR 1 Arizona 6’5” 212 lbs.

Tetairoa McMillan is a massive wide receiver who is a jump-ball machine. 50/50 balls are seemingly 90/10 for McMillan, who has an impressive vertical to add to his catch radius. His body type and athleticism would cause a basketball coach to salivate, especially if they need a starting power forward. McMillan can move with the ball in his hands too, amassing over 1000 yards after the catch in his Arizona career.

The biggest knock I can see on McMillan is his separation. I wanted to see more separation created between him and defenders on tape, and he just didn’t make that happen. With his size, he can be productive without relying on elite route running and separation, but if McMillan improved in that area, he could be unguardable. McMillan is a true X receiver that will line up on the outside. He racked up an impressive 3.43 yards per route run against man coverage, almost always facing the other team’s best cornerback. Tetairoa McMillan is the best receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft and will be a top-10 selection.

No. 7 Abdul Carter EDGE 1 Penn State 6’3” 259 lbs.

After switching from off-ball linebacker to edge rusher for the 2024 season, Abdul Carter has had an impressive breakout season. He's collected 10 sacks and created 45 pressures in the regular season. Carter explodes off the line, showcasing incredible bend around offensive tackles. His past as a linebacker shows up in the run game, as he gets off blocks well and closes up gaps. Abdul Carter can fit in a scheme as a DE in a 4-3 or as an OLB in a 3-4.

As a projected high pick, I’m not sure how much testing Abdul Carter will do at the NFL Combine, which is a shame. Carter’s athletic test results would be off the charts. He still has some fine tuning to do with the technical aspects of the position. Also, he has room to add more finesse moves to his repertoire. However, Abdul Carter is so physically gifted that it’s easy to imagine an All-Pro potential once he receives some NFL-level coaching. Abdul Carter is the best edge rusher in the 2025 NFL Draft and will end up as a top-10 pick.

No. 8 Kelvin Banks Jr. OT 1 Texas 6’4” 320 lbs.

Kelvin Banks Jr. is a solid run blocker, but he’s the No. 1 offensive tackle in my 2025 NFL Draft Big Board because of his elite pass protection. From the moment Banks stepped on campus at Texas, he has been the starting left tackle. In over 1,400 passprotection snaps during the last three seasons, Banks has only given up 4 sacks. In 2024, Kelvin Banks Jr. has only given up 6 pressures and 1 sack. He is as solid and dependable as it gets. Banks moves very well for his size and is able to beat and mitigate speed rushers with ease.

Kelvin Banks Jr. is from Humble, Texas, and he embodies the name of his hometown. Banks has the exact characteristics you want protecting the blind side of your franchise quarterback. Availability is the best ability, and that reliability is part of the reason he was named a captain this season. His work ethic will wear off on his teammates at the next level. Kelvin Banks Jr. is the best offensive tackle in the 2025 NFL Draft, and I doubt he falls outside of the top-10.

No. 9 James Pearce Jr. EDGE 2 Tennessee 6’5” 243 lbs.

An elite edge rusher class continues with James Pearce Jr. He is a relentless pass rusher, who puts pressure on opposing quarterbacks to get the ball out quick. Even though he's only converted 7.5 sacks, James Pearce Jr. created 52 pressures in the 2024 regular season. His sack numbers would have been higher if he wasn’t held so often (both called and

Pearce has improved his run defense, but I would love to see him bulk up by adding 10-15 pounds. He needs to have a little more strength in setting the edge and getting off blocks, especially at the next level. I think James Pearce Jr. will fit best as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 system. The Tennessee Volunteers are in the College Football Playoff, so he still has more chances to prove himself against some of the best offensive lines in the country. Ultimately, James Pearce Jr.’s pass rushing upside will keep him inside the top-15 picks.

No. 10 Cam Ward QB 1 Miami 6’2” 223 lbs.

In my opinion, Cam Ward is the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. His arm talent is indisputable. He whips the ball around the field, hitting big-time throw after big-time throw. Ward varies his arm angles and velocity, getting the ball where it needs to go. Cam Ward has been very impressive in his ability to extend plays and throw off platform. However, he has also gotten himself in trouble at times. He made several terrible decisions throwing the ball cross body to the middle of the field.

If I’m a franchise that has the coaches in place to develop a QB, I’m very excited about taking Cam Ward, knowing that I have a potential superstar on my hands. His weaknesses are all coachable: decision-making at times, sloppy footwork occasionally, and pocket presence. His strengths are traits that cannot be taught: physicality, arm strength, and composure. Ward will blow scouts away at Miami’s Pro Day and in the pre-draft process. Cam Ward has come a long way in the past 5 years: from running a Wing-T offense in high school to being a Heisman candidate, commanding the most explosive offense in college football. But, Ward’s best football is still ahead of him. A team will invest a top-3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Cam Ward with the hopes of developing him into a franchise quarterback.

Players 11-25 2025 NFL Draft Big Board

No. 11 Derrick Harmon DT 2 Oregon 6’5” 310 lbs.

Derrick Harmon has been one of the highest risers of the season, anchoring Oregon’s dominant defensive line. In 2024, Harmon led all FBS defensive tackles in pressures created with 47, due to a downright dominant 18.1% win rate on non-penalized pass rush snaps. His combination of speed, length, and power seem almost unblockable at the college level. Harmon has shown an ability to slide across the defensive line with some snaps at nose tackle and edge, but his task in the NFL will be to fill the B Gap as a DE in a 3-4 or a DT in a 4-3. I expect Derrick Harmon to be a top-15 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

No. 12 Luther Burden III WR 3 Missouri 5’11” 208 lbs.

Luther Burden III has taken a step back in 2024, some of which can be attributed to inconsistent quarterback play. He has played a majority of his snaps in the slot, due to Missouri’s desire to get the ball into the hands of their best playmaker. Burden is explosive and

, racking up 724 yards after the catch in 2023. He takes the top off the defense as a deep threat option as well. He is a playmaker that every quarterback would love to add to their squad. I see Luther Burden III as a top-15 pick in the NFL Draft.

No. 13 Will Campbell OT Louisiana State 6’6” 323 lbs.

Will Campbell is a very good offensive lineman, but his arm length and athleticism have raised some concerns about his role as an offensive tackle at the next level. As someone who has dominated SEC pass rushers, Will Campbell has proven himself as a tackle. In 1,593 pass blocking snaps over the last three seasons, Campbell has only given up 3 sacks. If he fails at tackle at the next level, I feel comfortable in his potential as an All-Pro interior offensive lineman. I believe Will Campbell will be able to hold a starting offensive tackle job in the NFL and is worthy of a top-15 draft pick.

No. 14 Kenneth Grant DT 3 Michigan 6’3” 339 lbs.

Kenneth Grant is a beast, making up the other half of the best DT duo in the nation (see No. 3 Mason Graham). Grant has showcased a relentless motor and crazy athleticism for his size,

. He thrives against the run, eating double teams and filling gaps. Kenneth Grant can fit any scheme, filling the void as a nose tackle or 3-technique. Kenneth Grant may not be a sexy draft pick for the casual NFL fan, but landing a defensive lineman of his caliber in the top-20 can transform a team’s run defense.

No. 15 Mykel Williams EDGE 3 Georgia 6’5” 265 lbs.

Traits, traits, traits. Mykel Williams, like Travon Walker before him, oozes physicality and athleticism, but it hasn’t translated to college production. Nolan Smith, edge rusher for the Philadelphia Eagles and former teammate of both players, made the comparison,

Mykel Williams is a freak athlete who will test off the charts at the NFL Combine, which will cause many teams to dream on his potential. He has also showcased versatility and kicked inside as a defensive tackle for Georgia on some occasions. Mykel Williams' best football is ahead of him, and he is a lock to be a top-20 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

No. 16 Tyler Warren TE 1 Penn State 6’6” 257 lbs.

The 2024 season has been a breakout one for Penn State tight end, Tyler Warren. A high school QB, Warren took a few years to learn the tight end position, but he has emerged as the Nittany Lions’ go-to weapon. His best trait is his ability to run after the catch, converting into a bulldozer with the ball in his hands. In the 2024 regular season, Warren accumulated 573 yards after the catch and 189 rushing yards (mostly out of the wildcat), gaining over 750 yards with the ball in his hands. He can still improve as a blocker, but an NFL team will love adding his versatility to their offense. Tyler Warren will be drafted in the middle of the 1st Round and will make an immediate impact as a receiving threat for his new NFL team.

No. 17 Shedeur Sanders QB 2 Colorado 6’2” 215 lbs.

The lack of supply and the massive demand of quarterbacks will push Shedeur Sanders much higher than this slot, but I have a mid-1st Round grade on him. I think Sanders will be a solid starter in the league, but I don’t see superstar upside. Sanders sometimes takes too long to make reads and takes sacks instead of anticipating and throwing his receiver open. Shedeur Sanders has a good enough arm to make most NFL big-time throws. He is the most accurate quarterback in the draft. He’s cleaned up his footwork from 2023 to 2024. I’ve also been impressed with Sanders' toughness. He has taken some massive hits, and then gotten up and kept the offense rolling. Sanders is a high-floor prospect and ready to come in and ball from Day 1. Shedeur Sanders will be drafted in the top-3 picks to become an NFL team’s starting QB.

No. 18 Jalon Walker EDGE 4 Georgia 6’2” 245 lbs.

It’s up for debate what Jalon Walker’s primary position will be at the next level, but it’s certain that he’s going to be a problem. Georgia has moved him around with snaps at off-ball linebacker and at edge rusher. I have him as an edge rusher because I absolutely love what he has done from that spot. He’s slightly undersized for the position, but he reminds me of a more-athletic Frankie Luvu, who has rotated between off-ball linebacker and situational pass rusher. Walker is the type of player that defensive coordinators just want to get in the building and then figure out the nitty gritty later. Jalon Walker is a lock to be a 1st Round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

No. 19 Aireontae Ersery OT 3 Minnesota 6’6” 330 lbs.

If you told me that Aireontae Ersery ends up being the best offensive tackle in the 2025 Draft Class, I wouldn’t bat an eye. He still has room to improve in some of the technical aspects of the position, namely with more consistent hand placement and pad level. Minnesota didn’t run the ball as much this season, but I want to see more viciousness from Ersery in the run game, using his power to destroy second-level defenders. His weaknesses are coachable. You cannot coach size, and Ersery has the perfect build and length to be an NFL offensive tackle. He is very light on his feet for his size. Aireontae Ersery will certainly be a 1st Round pick, and he has the upside to rise into the top-10 during the pre-draft process.

No. 20 Omarion Hampton RB 2 North Carolina 6’0” 220 lbs.

I have a 1st Round grade on Omarion Hampton. It isn’t often that you find a tough power back who also has breakaway speed. Omarion Hampton will run through a brick wall before exploding into a 40-meter sprint. Hampton was a track guy in high school, and it shows in how he plays. I’d guess his speed is close to 4.4 in the 40-yard dash. Hampton is also a powerful back, stacking two years in a row with over 1,000 rushing yards after contact. He has the ideal body for a running back that will absorb hundreds of hard hits in his NFL career. Omarion Hampton will likely be an early 2nd Round pick and will instantly be a workhorse running back, if given the opportunity.

No. 21 Nic Scourton EDGE 5 Texas A&M 6’4” 285 lbs.

Nic Scourton is not going to end as the top edge rusher in any one category, but Scourton is well-rounded. He’s strong against the run and gets after the QB. He can even drop back in coverage as an outside linebacker. I was more impressed with his 2023 tape at Purdue than his 2024 season for Texas A&M. His matchup against Kelvin Banks Jr. was disappointing, as Scourton was held to one pressure and zero sacks. I think Nic Scourton’s best fit in the NFL is as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. Scourton will almost certainly be a 1st Round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

No. 22 Colston Loveland TE 2 Michigan 6’5 245 lbs.

Colston Loveland is a prototypical tight end. He’s a very experienced run blocker, logging 639 run blocking snaps during his 3 year college career. However, Loveland will make his money as a receiver. We have not yet seen the best of Colston Loveland. Loveland’s production took a step back in 2024 due to Michigan's run-heavy offense, poor QB play, and dealing with an injury. He is extremely dependable with only 2 drops this season and only 1 fumble in his college career. Colston Loveland is a 1st Round lock in the 2025 NFL Draft.

No. 23 Benjamin Morrison CB 3 Notre Dame 6’0” 190 lbs.

Benjamin Morrison suffered a hip injury in October which required surgery. This setback has put his draft stock in a flux, but I still have him ranked in the early twenties in my 2025 NFL Draft Big Board based on his upside. From the moment that he stepped on campus, Morrison won a starting corner job and has dominated since. He showed improvements at tackling in 2024, but his strength is creating turnovers. As a freshman and sophomore, he totaled 9 interceptions. Before his injury, Morrison had showcased technically sound defense in the first 6 games, only receiving one penalty in coverage. Benjamin Morrison is a feisty, outside cornerback with Day 1 starting upside, as long as the medicals come back clean.

No. 24 Shavon Revel Jr. CB 4 East Carolina 6’3” 193 lbs.

Similar to Morrison, Shavon Revel Jr. suffered a season ending injury, an ACL tear in September. Due to how early in the season it happened, Revel has a legitimate chance to return by training camp. He has elite size and speed for the position. Revel already had two interceptions in the first three games of 2024. Unfortunately, we have yet to see him matchup with any NFL caliber receivers since his matchup with Roman Wilson in Week 1 of 2023. All-star bowls can be very helpful for small school guys to prove themselves against elite talent. Even though he is attending the Shrine Bowl, it’s solely for him to meet with teams, not to participate in drills. Shavon Revel Jr. is definitely a name to watch out for in the late 1st Round.

No. 25 Emeka Egbuka WR 4 Ohio State 6’1” 205 lbs.

Emeka Egbuka is a high-floor receiver option in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he will be an offensive coordinator’s best friend. He’s a willing blocker and a hard worker who will be in the NFL for a decade or more. Egbuka is a crafty receiver, who can play in the slot or on the outside and creates separation in abundance. He is going to shine in the interview process and cause many teams to fall in love with his attitude. I don’t see Egbuka as an alpha wide receiver, but he will be a reliable WR2. Emeka Egbuka is in a tier of his own as the 4th best receiver in this draft, and he should be a 1st Round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

No. 26 Cameron Williams OT 4 Texas 6’5” 335 lbs.

No. 27 Wyatt Milum iOL 1 West Virginia 6’6” 317 lbs.

No. 28 Josh Simmons OT 5 Ohio State 6’5” 310 lbs.

No. 29 Deone Walker DT 4 Kentucky 6’6” 345 lbs.

No. 30 Kyle Kennard EDGE 6 South Carolina 6’5” 254 lbs.

No. 31 Mike Green EDGE 7 Marshall 6’4” 248 lbs.

No. 32 Shemar Stewart EDGE 8 Texas A&M 6’6” 290 lbs.

No. 33 Tyleik Williams DT 5 Ohio State 6’3” 327 lbs.

No. 34 Trey Amos CB 5 Ole Miss 6’1” 190 lbs.

No. 35 Donavan Ezeiruaku EDGE 9 Boston College 6’2” 247 lbs.

No. 36 Jalen Milroe QB 3 Alabama 6’2” 225 lbs.

No. 37 Quinshon Judkins RB 3 Ohio State 6’0” 219 lbs.

No. 38 Walter Nolen DT 5 Ole Miss 6’3” 305 lbs.

No. 39 Jahdae Barron CB 6 Texas 5’11” 200 lbs.

No. 40 Princely Umanmielen EDGE 10 Ole Miss 6’4” 255 lbs.

No. 41 Landon Jackson EDGE 11 Arkansas 6’7” 280 lbs.

No. 42 T.J. Sanders DT 6 South Carolina 6’4” 290 lbs.

No. 43 Kaleb Johnson RB 4 Iowa 6’0” 225 lbs.

No. 44 Tre Harris WR 5 Ole Miss 6’3” 210 lbs.

No. 45 Isaiah Bond WR 6 Texas 5’11” 180 lbs.

No. 46 Jihaad Campbell LB 1 Alabama 6’3” 244 lbs.

No. 47 Nick Emmanwori S 2 South Carolina 6’3” 227 lbs.

No. 48 Harold Fannin Jr. TE 3 Bowling Green 6’4” 230 lbs.

No. 49 Grey Zabel iOL 2 North Dakota State 6’6” 305 lbs.

No. 50 TreVeyon Henderson RB 5 Ohio State 5’10” 208 lbs.

Offensive Sleeper 2025 NFL Draft Big Board

Corey Kiner RB Cincinnati 5’9” 210 lbs.

This running back class is so deep that talented backs like Corey Kiner are getting lost in the shuffle. Kiner started his career at LSU before transferring to his hometown Cincinnati Bearcats. Over the last two seasons, Kiner has been highly productive, going over 1,000 yards and averaging over 5.4 yards a carry in each season. He’s an incredibly elusive runner who forced over 80 missed tackles this season. The knocks on Kiner are that he has a slightly undersized build and lacks high-end usage in the receiving game. I still see Corey Kiner as a 4th or 5th Round pick who can be an instant boost to any team’s running back room.

Defensive Sleeper 2025 NFL Draft Big Board

Demetrius Knight Jr. LB South Carolina 6’2” 245 lbs.

Demetrius Knight Jr. transferred from Charlotte to South Carolina and helped transform the Gamecock defense into one of the best in the nation. Knight is fast and physical,

, totaling 75 tackles in 2024. He’s good in coverage as well, as

One thing I love about Demetrius Knight Jr. is that he is the leader of the defense and helps get everyone in position. He’s a film connoisseur who is willing to outwork everybody. The biggest knock on Knight is his age, as he’s going to be 25 years old on draft night. But, does that matter if he’s going to come in and start for you Day 1? Despite a thin off-ball linebacker class, I really haven’t seen anybody talking about Knight. With a strong Senior Bowl, I think Demetrius Knight Jr. will sneak into the late 3rd Round.

2024.12.10 08:20 PerritoMasNasty Kenny Dillingham and the Middle 8: an unqualified analysis

ASU did not spend a lot of time in the national spotlight this year until very recently. If you have not had the pleasure of watching this Sun Devils team in action this fantastic football season, than you might have missed the announcers obsession with discussing Head Coach Kenny Dillingham’s obsession with the “middle 8”.

You may be asking, what is the middle 8? Maybe you aren’t- again I am unqualified. The middle 8 is (are?) the last 4 minutes of the half and the first 4 of the 3rd quarter. I googled it for you, I guess it’s a belichick thing, you can read more about it here.

Every game I hear about how much Kenny D cares about the middle 8, but how has he performed? If anyone is able to link to a searchable middle 8 tool for ranking- that would be swell. For this analysis I rewatched all the footage so I could see how the football vibes or whatever Alabama fans are bitching about checks out.

Asu enters with a commanding lead and just kicked a field goal at 4:12. Nobody scores in the middle 8

Sam Leavitt leads a commanding 5:00 drive for a touchdown with :34 left to take a 27-3 lead.

Coverage for this game sucks, (including a 2nd clock game management game ending issue that the broadcast left and I can only find fan footage on twitter) asu scores a TD at 3:46 and another at :06 to tie it at 21.

We bang in a 4 minute 79 yard drive for a touchdown at 1:33, but the bad guys get a field goal to close the half.

58 yard TD drive for the good guys with just 26 seconds remaining to tie it at 14

The utes out middle 8’d us here a FG in the final minute to cut the lead to 13-9

Our QB was hurt so we don’t count this one? Right guys? Cincy got a field goal at 2:18, and then a touchdown at 11:38 to go up 17-7. First score in the back half of the middle 8. This is that shit bill was talking about with totally stealing the momentum of the game away from the rightful owners.

Skattebo rams it in from a yard out to make it 21-14 with 20 seconds left in the half to cap off a 13 play 75 yard 5 minute drive. This is the kind of football you love everyone loves.

Remember where the momentum was completely snapped away in the cincy game? Well this time Americas team did it. ASU score on a 9 play 4 minute drive to cut the deficit to 3, then after the world’s worst kickoff return, UCF throws a pick 6 on the next play.

ASU scores a field goal precisely at the 11:00 mark in the 3rd. It fits my narrative so I’ll count it. ASU had a pretty good drive before the half that ended after a sack, but we were already up 21-0 so why rub it in, wrong wildcats.

So the running theme of these games is ASU builds up an insurmountable lead then tries to innovate a new way to end the game. Some may say Kenny is toying with his opponent, but most people are saying this is actually some top tier scientific shit he is working with if you understand it. I certainly dont. Add scores a TD under 2 minutes, byu gets a field goal with only 25 tickers left.

When we arrived at the medium/large sized high school stadium, it was already over, but we wanted to work on our middle 8 stats so capped a 70 yard drive with a TD to make it 35-0 in the final minute. Arizona tried to even the middle 8 game, but was too slow and scored at 10:53. These would be their only 7 points (for the entire game).

Big 12 championship vs Iowa state

spoiler alert, we are the big 12 champs and now tied for 6th most with Tamu Touchdown 72 yard drive with just a few seconds left after a Skattebo 53 yard chunk.

Conclusion: Kenny Dillingham is pretty fuckin good. 10-2 record in his coveted Middle 8, so he is doing this on purpose. ASU was 9-1 when winning the middle 8, and wins it 76.9% of the time. A lot of these were key momentum shifts, or crucial points needed for Kenny to continue pushing the bounds of game management sciences.

Also, asu scored a decently long TD to end A LOT of halves, why keeping the other team from doing so. 9 times. We are pretty good at that.

In total the Sun Devils outscored opponents 80- 19 in the middle 8, or something really close to that.
