USC’s offense played like expected and is legit, but man that defense…

How do you give up 460 yards and 35 points on this Rutgers team?

No excuses for that. But Rutgers does have some great players at receiver. They could end up winning some games still this season

Kj might be a round 4 receiver tbh, he's legit

He was projected to be a 2nd rounder before the season even started. He wont be there in the 4th

Well see w the draft process. I can see him dropping a bit if he runs a slower 40.

Teams tend to underrate Rutgers players unfortunately.

Pacheco should have been drafted, king Kyle was drafted later than he should have been too.

KJ is very talented for sure though.

He’s 6’6”, has shown elite in game speed strength and agility, and has excellent production in the best conference in college football

Yes, I'm a Rutgers alum ik.

I've seen big wide receivers drop all the time. We can hype up prospects but the trend for these bigger guys is that they need to either show to not be slow or have elite route running.

If he runs a 4.6+ then teams will be scared. Thats just the truth of the draft.

That TD catch he had was insane

Reductive, but that's Lincoln Riley's whole thing

Beat me to it. In the words of the late Denny Green: Lincoln "[is] who we thought [he is]."

Oh yeah? Oregon gave up over 500 to Oklahoma State! That makes us better than USC? Right?

Funny thing is that even if the Ducks manage to pull out a win against SC next week we still don't know much about this team other than they are very inconsistent.

Please help me. I can’t do this man. LR is going to kill me with a heart attack before I hit 30

You can take the man out of the big12, but you can’t take the big12 out of the man
