deskgameNotre Dame’s run-heavy offense doesn’t leave much room for error, and Love’s injury could be a major blow. Love missed a chunk of the Georgia game and only tallied six carries for 19 yards. If Love is limited again, the Irish won’t have their leading rusher versus a Penn State defense allowing the third-fewest rushing touchdowns.
deskgameAllen shines against Kansas City. He is 3-1 vs. the Chiefs, while averaging 249.8 yards per game and 11 TDs (nine passing, two rushing) in four career regular season starts vs. KC. James Cook is building on a breakout campaign, with eight rushing TDs.
deskgameOnce again, we can infer from the rapidly dying and increasingly less-trusted media that no one is above the law, except the ones who are: the annointed ones favored, protected and admired by journalists, a group now largely unworthy of that once revered title.One would think the media would share interest in my question but, for whatever reason, no such media interest appears evident. The question: How is it that a random person in a McDonald’s two states west of the Manhattan crime scene recognized the alleged murderer there from published photos, but none of his actual family members or friends seemed to?
deskgameScoring has been a struggle for the Sooners. I expect that to continue without QB Jackson Arnold, TE Bauer Sharp, WR J.J. Hester, RB Jovantae Barnes and others. Arnold was the starter for most of the season. Backup QB Michael Hawkins Jr. will be under center against Navy.
