Five random questions on my mind while driving.
1. Who will we miss more, Saban or Harbaugh?
I’m not sure why this got me thinking but it’s an interesting question. Saban was hated by so many and then became kind of beloved at the end while Harbaugh was odd and eccentric in the beginning and beyond polarizing at the end. Did Saban leave because of NIL? Did Harbaugh leave because of possible NCAA sanctions? I’ll do a deeper dive on this but for me, I’ll miss Harbaugh more.
2. Will JJ McCarthy last the longest in the NFL?
Caleb Williams has the most talent. Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye have high ceilings and Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. are hit or miss. But to me, McCarthy strikes me as a guy who will be steady — If he’s not a starter he could be a long backup. I think he could be a 12-year NFL dude.
3. Reggie Bush was the right USC player to lose his Heisman?
OJ Simpson was acquitted of double murder but c’mon man. Bush took NIL money way before it was legal and all but he’s without his Heisman while a double murderer didn’t lose his? Make it make sense.

4. Can Jayden Daniels survive in the NFL?
Daniels took some massive hits in the SEC and that can be looked at in two ways. One, it shows he can handle the physical nature of football despite being slight and hold up to the punishment. On the other hand, it shows he struggles to avoid big hits which could lead to an injury-riddled NFL career.
5. Can Billy Napier pull a Mike Norvell?
I thought Norvell would struggle in his pivotal season a couple of years ago but he emerged and is now one of the top coaches in the country. Can Napier do the same? The difference is the tough SEC schedule Napier faces this year compared to a weak ACC and I don’t see a way he can pull this off. But I’ve been wrong before.
