Been sitting on this take for a bit, but I was watching Julian Sayin tape and came away believing he looked just like 2023 Quinn Ewers at Texas.
• Any ball from 10-20 yards is delivered right between the numbers. Both were probably the best in the country.
• More times than not pass catchers needed to slow down or entirely adjust routes on attempts north of 30 yards.
• Not particularly plus athletes.
• Consistent pressure completely derails the pass game.
• Does not evade rushers or extend plays well.
• Ewers slightly better scrambling.
Will dominate games if the pocket is kept clean, but will need a lot of help otherwise. Sayin went 5 TD & 4 INT vs. Michigan, Indiana and Miami with 10 of the season's 18 sacks coming in those three games.
@lukeevangelist_@SoulSilencer89 Nebraska last year is a good example of a team that we match up well with that shoots the three well, same with Auburn this year (you’ll notice a consistent trend of us beating them over the years), Mizzou, Purdue (turned the ball over like 20 times against us iirc), etc.
@lukeevangelist_@SoulSilencer89 I’d honestly disagree, we really need to avoid the teams that move the ball really well without turning it over. Now that can be a good three point shooting team (see PSU two years ago, UF), but that can also be one that doesn’t shoot it as well (Vandy, Alabama).
@Nathanb51550095@CBBcontent What about Pharrel Payne?
Also, everybody from the team last year is back with another year of experience, including an arguably top 3 guard in the country.
You probably think Kentucky should be ranked higher with an entire team of transfers. Do some research before you talk
