[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]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.
Five Georgia players will be first rounders
Farrell’s take: FACT
Count them. Travon Walker, Jordan Davis, Devonte Wyatt, and Nakobe Dean. Okay, that’s four. Someone is going to get Lewis Cine at the end of round one, just watch. And they will get the biggest hitter in the draft.
There will be no QBs taken in the top 10
Farrell’s take: FICTION
This is the latest rumor. That Malik Willis and others will slide outside the last pick in the top 10. It’s not going to happen. If QB needy teams like Detroit, Carolina, Atlanta, and Seattle pass on a QB someone will trade up for one. It’s too big a need in the NFL now. I think two will be taken in the top 10 with Willis one of them.
The NCAA changes are worthless
Farrell’s take: FACT
Well, the changes to targeting, faking injures, and blocking below the waist have been approved and they are all dumb. Almost moronic. Why? Because so much more could have been done. The new targeting rule allows for additional video review of a targeting penalty in the second half of a game that would lead to a first-half suspension in the next game. Oh great. Who cares? How about a 15-yard penalty for the first and if you want to eject someone then a second targeting call is an in-game ejection, nothing more. As for faking injuries, they will essentially now be reviewed. Trust me nothing will come of this so Lane Kiffin and others can relax. And finally no blocking below the waist by linemen or backs outside the tackle box. Why? It’s the chop blocking that goes on constantly that injures people not a 300-pound lineman trying to dive at a linebacker’s ankles in the open field. C’mon NCAA, do better.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
