Auburn covers the line. Go with the Under.
PSU - 20
AU - 19
AU secondary allows too many dinks and dunks, leading to 2 scores by air on good runs after short passes. PSU defense is legit in the red zone. Carlson is the games leading scorer.
Bigger get than many will appreciate At this time. His maturity will undoubtedly improve the locker room and development of other QB’s. Really excited about his signing!!!
Perhaps, but I’d be surprised to see a highly rated HS QB who opted to play Pro BB “float” the ball a lot. Could be, but I just doubt it. Would think the failure mode would most likely be quick/quality decision-making, as is the case with many QB’s.
I recall the coaches recruited Cord quite aggressively out of HS and I’m sure they have a good feel for what he can do. And while there may be some physical “rust” to knock off, the additional 2-3 years of mental maturity should more than offset that potential handicap.
A reasonable way to look at it. Not worries here about weight (or the lack thereof). More about strength, toughness and knowing how to leverage the weight he has (assuming he can keep the ball Off the ground).
I’m encouraged by what I’ve seen and wish him well as he establishes his own personal brand in the backfield.
