In today’s Fact or Fiction, I look at three big recent topics in college football and decide whether the statement is indeed FACT or if it’s FICTION.
1. Urban Meyer could win it all at Texas A&M.
Farrell’s take: FACT
With the Aggies’ resources, imagine the way Meyer would recruit in College Station. He’d bring in record-setting classes and likely win it all in three years. What he did at Florida and Ohio State could be even easier at A&M with this cache and abilities. If they threw so much money at Jimbo Fisher, who was a fraud, imagine why they’d throw at Urban Legend.
2. Deion Sanders would have success in College Station.
Farrell’s take: FICTION
Deion could recruit there for sure, and the resources I speak of above would benefit him greatly. And his ties to Texas and the Southeast are obvious. But can he coach? We don’t know this yet. He’d lure a ton of talent in the portal, and high school recruiting would be amazing, but there is no way he could handle a job of this magnitude yet. He needs years of seasoning as a Power Five coach.
3. Keon Coleman is better than Marvin Harrison Jr.
Farrell’s take: FICTION
I’ve been seeing a few people say this, and I know why — it’s a hot take, and some people who feel they need to be heard like to go contrary to the obvious. But Harrison Jr. is probably the most well-rounded WR since Calvin Johnson came out years and years ago, and he’s a ca n’t-miss. Coleman is an amazing athlete and could be great, but let’s not be ridiculous here.
