Draft helium is cyclical. It always corrects itself when April rolls around

Only 1 qb has ever been drafted in the top 10 with a top 10 defense in college football. That player was a terrible Vince Young.

-Indiana averaged 43.3 ppg the year before Mendoza with 0 1,000 yard rushers and went from only 1 win to 12 wins

-43.6 with Mendoza and went from 12 wins to 16 wins.

-On a per game basis Rourke averaged the exact same numbers as Mendoza.


I don’t understand why this one player can’t be criticized he’s obviously a system player In an my years of watching football I’ve never seen any shite like this. Jayden Daniels was ripped apart and he actually carried his team

He would’ve won the heisman in that Indiana system too. You look at cignetti he has a history of qb’s suddenly having great stats with his teams.

He may have been ripped apart but he still got drafted high.
As to Mendoza he played the best teams. Played into the playoffs, made it to the finals and won them all plus the Heisman. A bit more than the previous QB.

Rourke averaged the same stats as him on a per game basis with 0 1,000 yard backs to carry him vs mendoza who had two 1,000 yard backs to carry him.

The defense allowed 11 ppg thats why they won.

What you should take from this is if Rourke had another year of eligibility they would’ve won regardless. They went from 1 win to 12 they were already on the way there.

This dude Mendoza everything he does is getting overrated asf. Will Howard did the same shite as him and went in the 5th this shite is crazy I’ve never seen this in my life a long list of red flags straight up ignored



OSU scored 10 points on Mendozas defense = all credit to Mendoza..


They scored 38 on rourke previously 1 win football team he once again turned to a 12 win team in 1 season… they only lost 2 games after winning just 1 the year before its very unrealistic that they would’ve went from 1 win to national championship in 1 year since thats always the comback but but they lost
