This is the day that the rest of college football
in Team 23.02.2019 04:37von panxing18 •

has been leading up to—specifically Bills Jason Croom Jersey , the College Football Semifinals that will decide which teams will play for a National Championship. For those of us who follow the draft, though, it may just be another chance to watch some 2019 NFL prospects take the field for the final time in their careers. Below you’ll find information about each of the bowl games slated for today as well as the main NFL prospects to keep an eye on.As always, let’s talk about the games, leave questions on prospects and enjoy the weekend.No. 10 Florida vs. no. 7 MichiganPeach Bowl12:00 p.m. Eastern, ESPNTwo teams with elite defenses but inconsistent offenses, The Gators and Wolverines are similar teams on paper and on the field. Florida’s left tackle Jawaan Taylor has become a riser as more analysts watch his tape, but the Gators will only go as far as their defense. On the back end, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is a strong safety with some degree of versatility as a “big nickel” linebacker. Pass rusher Jachai Polite is an undersized athletic freak that will test off the charts come February. Michigan’s Rashan Gary is another athletic freak, who can play anywhere on the defensive line, but may be most suited as a penetrating defensive tackle. Running-mate Chase Winovich may be more suited to a SAM linebacker role himself, due to be undersized as a defensive end. Wolverine linebacker Devin Bush is slightly undersized for a middle linebacker, but doesn’t play like it. You’ll see him make tackles all over the field.South Carolina vs. VirginiaBelk Bowl12:00 p.m. Eastern Cheap Kyle Williams Jersey , ABCThe Gamecocks duo at wide receiver, Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards have started to gel in recent weeks. Samuel has come back from injury and demonstrated why he’s been known by scouts as a threat to score from anywhere on the field. Containing them will be the Cavaliers’ Juan Thornhill, a safety with corner-like cover skills. He’s come down with five interceptions this year.Arkansas State vs. NevadaArizona Bowl9:00 p.m. Eastern, CBSSNThis particular bowl game will be centered around a match-up of two lower-round prospects. The Wolf Pack’s Malik Reed is undersized on the edge, but he has a sack in almost every game he’s played in this season. Staring across from him will be Red Wolves’ senior tackle Lanard Bonner, an East-West Shrine Game invitee.No. 3 Notre Dame vs. no. 2 ClemsonCotton Bowl4:00 p.m. Eastern, ESPNBoth teams are littered with defensive prospects. The Tigers’ entire defensive line is made up of high-level picks, with tackles Dexter Lawrence (who will not be playing due to a failed drug test), Christian Wilkins and defensive end Clelin Ferrell. Somewhat surprisingly, Tigers cornerback Trayvon Mullen may be the best defensive prospect on the field. The Fighting Irish bring NFL talent at all three levels of the defense, including at defensive tackle with Jerry Tillery. Tillery was a threat to rush the passer this season and had eight sacks to show for it. Cornerback Julian Love is one of the more physical corners in the nation and had 15 pass break-ups (!!) this year.No. 4 Oklahoma vs. no. 1 AlabamaOrange Bowl8:00 p.m. Eastern, ESPNIt’ll be strength-against-strength in this year’s Orange Bowl. Few teams have been able to score on the Crimson Tide defense because they’re stacked from top to bottom. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is sure to be a top-five pick, while his running mate Raekwon Davis won’t be far behind. On the back end Bills Corey Bojorquez Jersey , Deionte Thompson has rare center-field ability at safety. Offensively, the team brings left tackle Jonah Williams and tight end Irv Smith Jr. to the table—two players ranked among the best at their positions. The Sooners are all about offense, with deep threat Marquise Brown and their guards Dru Samia and Ben Powers. Heading into the 2018 season, the Buffalo Bills knew they faced a daunting task trying to replace the production of center Eric Wood and left guard Richie Incognito. The team struggled to reach the same level of play those two stalwarts along the offensive line previously provided in sinking to a 6-10 record after making the playoffs in 2017. Fast forward another offseason, and the Bills once again are faced with major questions along the offensive line, especially at the two guard positions, where Buffalo received below-average play from starters John Miller (right guard) and Vladimir Ducasse (left guard). On a unit that Pro Football Focus ranked as the 26th-best offensive line in football, new offensive line coach Bobby Johnson is going to have his hands full trying to bolster a unit that finished with the next-to-last grade in PFF’s run-blocking grades. Miller has been an on-again, off-again starter at right guard since being drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of Louisville, appearing in 47 games (all starts) over his four years in Western New York. Miller, who is an unrestricted free agent, made 15 starts in 2018, allowing only one sack and four penalties. On this unstable line Bills Matt Milano Jersey , re-signing Miller to a low, mutually-agreed upon two-year extension might be the wise move, for Miller has proven himself to be capable when he’s on the field. Ducasse, who enjoyed a resurgence at right guard in 2017, moved back to left guard for the 2018 season, with less-than-desirable results. He appeared in ten games (nine starts) and was part of an underachieving left side of the line that, time and time again failed to open holes for Buffalo’s running backs. Ducasse graded out at a 49.8 according to Pro Football Focus, good for 67th among all eligible guards. He committed four penalties and, remarkably, did not allow a sack. Unlike Miller, he is still under contract for 2019.Ryan Groy, who started six games at center and can also play guard, is an unrestricted free agent who allowed three quarterback hits and eight hurries (zero sacks allowed) in his time at center. Rookie Wyatt Teller Rafael Bush Jersey , entering his second season, displayed a ton of promise in eight games (seven starts), allowing only eight quarterback pressures with no sacks and five committed penalties. The fifth-round draft pick proved himself capable in pass protection, though his run-blocking has room for improvement. Jeremiah Sirles, who recently inked a one-year contract extension with Buffalo for the 2019 season, was active in 12 games (five starts) and saw time at both tackle and guard. He is a swingman who is expected to compete for a roster spot in training camp. He could start in a pinch but shouldn’t be handed the job.Lastly, there’s Ike Boettger, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Iowa who spent the entire off-season, training camp and the pre-season with the Bills. After serving as Buffalo’s backup right guard, he was released before the regular season. Boettger eventually released by the Kansas City Chiefs and claimed on waiver by the Bills and appeared in the team’s last four games. Miller (if he re-signs) and Teller appear to be the best in-house bets to start at guard for a team that could use an infusion of talent in 2019, but don’t rule out Ducasse sticking around.
