Not much to be said about us, but there is this...
Outlandish Prediction
Weinreb: Louisville coach Bobby Petrino quits midway through the season to become the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, and then is fired before coaching a game when it’s revealed he is actually the son of famed hijacker D.B. Cooper.
Brown: Kentucky wins nine games. OK … nine games is a stretch, but I honestly believe the Wildcats will win, like, eight. Mark Stoops (the otherother Stoops) has been recruiting at a furious clip the past few years; the schedule sets up decently if not exactly easily; and I very much expect new offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson (whose drawl led one Kentucky fan to tell me he felt like UK’s new OC was Raylan Givens) to improve the play of the entire offense, particularly when it comes to finding playmakers among Stoops’s young recruits and getting much more consistent play from QB Patrick Towles. P.S. I’m from Kentucky, so please don’t put money on this.
And then there was this...
Rubin: The single-game rushing record that Melvin Gordon set last season and Samaje Perine broke one week later will fall three more times in 2015: when Pitt’s James Conner breaks it against North Carolina on October 29, Georgia’s Nick Chubb shatters it against Kentucky on November 7, and LSU’s Leonard Fournette obliterates it against Texas A&M on November 28. What, you didn’t really think we were going to get through an entire Grantland staff Shootaround without mentioning Big Len, did you?
