As a Duke fan who watched every game Leonard played healthy he was great. With him healthy we beat Clemson and went toe to toe with ND. Leonard is a really good qb and his stats don’t do his performance justice. Just remember this Duke team was ok and mainly credited as a defensive team.
exactly what im saying. everyone saw what happened when he got injured vs fsu. team was never the same. his first full year healthy he increased dukes ppg by 10
When healthy in 2002 Riley Leopard threw for almost 3,000 (2,967) 20 TD 6 INT 124 carries for 699 yards and another 13 rushing TD had a 77 yard run and averaged 5.7 yards a carry This is with 3 star Duke players, 😊
Looking forward to a new Duke/Stanford rivalry. The ACC should call it the "Endowment Cup" and give it protected status. Between the 2 schools they could own KAL 25 times over.
Matt, Riley Leonard's stars are bad because the dude was playing on one leg after the ND game. Go look at his 2022 stats when he played a full season. C'mon Matt do your homework. Leonard has NFL Draft Scouts drooling all over him. Also take into account the kid was playing at "Duke"
The way I see the twelve team playoff is I think it does make weeks 0-6 have less stakes but after that games are going to be even better than ever I personally love the idea because it’s more football and we get to see good teams play each other with less teams left out
When Riley Leonard was fully healthy on the field, duke was 4-1 and ranked in the top 25. What did they do the rest of the season while he was hurt? 2-5. Dude willed a pitiful duke team to a bowl game. Love your takes Matt. #Mattbeballin
Lmao injuries as a whole destroyed Duke, yes Riley deserves a lot of credit for the season and his ability to keep the defense guessing but look at Dukes Defense, O-Line and running attack the first few games and tell me that team is pitiful 🤣
ND played against him so the only thing that matters is were the sufficiently impressed? There are so many things about a QB that you can't put numbers on. Picking one is essentially a wager on someone's brain...That's why so many fail in the NFL, and downright irrelevant ones succeed sometimes.
Because he has all the talent in the world, ucla threw him on to dry. P.us uscla online was subpar with not that good of receivers. If he is developed properly under the right system, maybe sit for a year, he would definitely thrive. Remember he was the number 2 qb last year, just behind arch manning
Congrats to Jayden Daniels. That is who I would have chose as well. I don’t understand why Brock Bowers wasn’t in the discussion because I think he’s one of the best players in college football and I’m an Alabama fan. However, I do think the right person won it. It’s another heisman trophy for the SEC.. 🎉
12 is perfect. We almost had 5 unbeaten Power 5 champs this year, so it could have been even WORSE than the controversy was this year. It rewards conference champions, which is the goal, while also not leaving out teams that had one loss.
A lot of ND fans are not high on Riley. I am…I watched most of the Duke games throughout the season and he showed he has the athleticism and the grit necessary to take a team to a championship. In the right program, he will be a Heisman contender. I think he is a great fit for ND.
All I know is that my Ohio State Buckeyes need a QB and they are being overly conservative. Stuck in the mud in terms of valuing seniority and tenure over talent and refusing to drop the $$$ on transfers in favor of trying to develop in house talent which has been declining since the departure of Urban Meyer. I am a realist and the end of the day and it's apparent that we are falling behind especially at QB and the trenches.
Yeah, I’m a Bama fan but I would love to see Urban back coaching again. It just seems like Ryan Day is never going to win a natty. He’s a great coach for a team to be a playoff contender but never actually win the playoffs. If I were an Ohio State fan I would be wanting UM back. In fact when Auburn was needing a coach before they hired Freeze I said to my dad who is an Auburn fan, “ I would be calling up Urban and handing him a blank check. “ I said the same for A&M but either they are not offering him enough or not offering it at all which doesn’t make any sense to me. I would love to have him at Bama when Saban retires which I hope is a long time but realistically it probably isn’t.
Leaving out context he played great defenses and didn’t exactly have great wr play and almost beat Notre dame and Florida state but got hurt against Florida state. Idk you’ll see when he plays under denbrock
I don't know why Ohio State would jeopardize losing a Brown or Kienholz to get a 1 year grad quarterback, that is probably of a lesser talent. Ohio State needs to play what they have. Air Noland comes in next year, and we don't really want another Quinn Ewers situation.
College football is becoming a season to season affair more than ever. You need to maximize your talent if you have the resources to. It's more like the NFL except you don't have multiple years to babysit a QB. TUN and other big schools aren't going to hold back. McCord looked like a deer in headlights. Won't get the job done!
Ohio State has always recruited nationally and has always been a program that's above the likes of other "big programs" in terms of being able to attract talent. Why act any differently now?
Yea that's why Texas didn't belong,it's what ya do as the season moves along that's why the top 25 rankings are based on the end the season not just what ya do in September bama obviously improved as the season went along,and they beat no 1 who's been no 1 for a long time,Texas then went out lost to non top 10 end of season ranking,,soon after ,fla st. Yea should have been in,not Texas.
Until Saban retires I don’t see Bama losing more than 2 games per season so I don’t see them or GA outside the top 10 as long as Saban and Smart are both still at the helm.
I think who benefits a lot to this is Bama and Georgia. You’re basically telling them, hey, you can lose 2-3 games and still make into the playoffs. The reason I say 3 is possible because let’s be real, when they lose, it’s either a freak play or against a top 10 team and therefore keeping them in the top 10 rankings. And then they get a first round matchup against a Liberty or Penn state😭. 3 weeks to prepare for said matchup 😂 easy win
Doubtful until Saban retires and Smart too that either team would lose more than 2 games in regular season, if even. It would be rare they’d fall below the top 10 in any year IMO.
Except, that didn't happen when Bama had to face Utah, and quite frankly, TCU could do the same despite results against last year's historically good Georgia team.
Riley Leonard has a no contact clause, basically saying, "Don't contact me, I'll contact teams I'm interested in." Sounds arrogant and like something the best quarterback in the Country would say. He ain't all that!
OSU fan here. Riley Leonard is not our guy, he’s good but he’s not OSU caliber. There’s a reason our fan base ridiculed McCord, it’s bc he’s good but not good ENOUGH to win a national title. That’s how I feel about Mr. leonard at this point
Nah, conference championships have started meaning less since the playoff started and that will get worse. How many times did a team win a title without a conference championship prior to the playoff. I believe it was just one, could be wrong on that. Since the playoff, though, we've seen several teams lose or not make the conference championships but still get in. Just recently: Bama, UGA, TCU, and Ohio state. Then, on the reverse, FSU won theirs and still gets left out. The committee doesn't care about Conference championships and it's only a matter of time before the teams quit caring.
I get why Notre Dame is going after him but Ohio State? Ohio State can definitely get a guy like Cam Ward and is the favorite to get him unlike Notre Dame, every where was predicting him to go to ND and I like the fit their more
@@guineapigclips5205 ND ran a pro style offense in 23. He would fit just fine and especially with the receivers ND got in the portal as well as the receivers coming back. He would compliment the run game ND has
riley should go to auburn. Ohio state doesn’t make sense and notre dame is just notre dame. If i was him, i would go into the SEC like a school like auburn or texas am
I dont get why you even put him on blast he is chasing a dream and your sitting here saying he is awful he sucks shouldn't even be on big time program just the hate that gets me..
You are confusing me. Beginning this video you spoke about how shocked you were about how bad his stats are this year. And you said numbers don't lie. Then you started talking about the playoff system. Then you went back to the QB discussion. And you said you thought he was the 4th best QB in the portal. Make up your mind. Then back it up with facts.
That's over after this portal season. This is the last off-season in which kids will be granted a 6th 'Covid year' option of eligibility to stay/transfer and keep a younger player on the bench or forcing that same kid to jump into the portal himself..? 🤷🏽♂️
High School kids aren't effected by the "super seniors" it's the 2nd and 3rd players in the middle thats getting squeezed out to make room for both ends of the spectrum.....
Regarding the Heisman, I was pulling for Bo Nix to win it. I thought it would have been interesting to see someone who has been in school long to get their PhD win it.
Didn’t play that many games, Had a lot less passing attempts than last year, Bad team I think he’s a damn good QB I watched him vs Clemson plus his stats. I dont know though
WHATS UP MATT, THAT GUY IS JUST MAD BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THE SEC WINNING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS ALMOST EVERY YEAR.. NOW THE SEC ARE DOMINATING IN HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS!! AN SEC PLAYER HAS WON THE LAST FOUR OUT OF FIVE HEISMAN TROPHY.. JOE BURROW-LSU, BRYCE YOUNG-ALABAMA, DEVONTA SMITH-ALABAMA, AND NOW JADEN DANIELS-LSU… NOTHING LIKE THE SEC, GEAUX TIGERS 💜💜💜💜💜
Do u know anything about fb? Leonard was excellent until he got hurt. He was hurt most of the year. He couldn't move with a high ankle sprain. Look at what he did last year. He2gpon in the 1st round nxt year

Matt, Riley Leonard is a great athlete, too. He was Mr Basketball in the State of Alabama his senior year. I would think that you would know that.
When healthy in 2002 Riley Leopard threw for almost 3,000 (2,967) 20 TD 6 INT
124 carries for 699 yards and another 13 rushing TD had a 77 yard run and averaged 5.7 yards a carry

I saw him play a couple of times, Riley Leonard is a good quarterback, From what I saw.
Riley went 4-1 as a starter and was hurt for 7 games
Can’t wait to see a southern team go to the north in December. Let there be snow!!!!!
Matt, Riley Leonard's stars are bad because the dude was playing on one leg after the ND game. Go look at his 2022 stats when he played a full season. C'mon Matt do your homework. Leonard has NFL Draft Scouts drooling all over him. Also take into account the kid was playing at "Duke"
your sneakiest team in the 12 team playoff format for atleast the first 10 years will be lsu, rarely ranked at the top but good enough to make a run
Matt the Cam Ward kid is the one that could benefit the most. Wash. Stats had a decent o-line and receivers. His story is still amazing to me.

RL if Healthy will be a Heisman finalist
He was hurt after the nd game for remainder of the year
I just don't get why people are so high on Dante Moore. When he played he looked lost.
Because he has all the talent in the world, ucla threw him on to dry. P.us uscla online was subpar with not that good of receivers.

and also be was a freshman too
@@arie103but people bash Riley Leonard for playing on one leg and having bad stats? Makes sense
He was a 5 star guy, so he’s automatically supposed to be elite.
He’s a freshman… know u didn’t play sports 😂
We need sum coach prime updates asap
Congrats to Jayden Daniels. That is who I would have chose as well.

He missed a few games…
I would love to see Kyle accord transfer to Alabama! He would Rock and Roll at Bama plus He would Win a National Championship!

It all depends on "the committee " and how they feel. But with 12 team playoff, it's definitely put up or shut...

chill. Devin Brown will be good
Yeah, I’m a Bama fan but I would love to see Urban back coaching again. It just seems like Ryan Day is never going to win a natty.

@@brookicoUrban doesn't know how to deal with today's transfer portal and NIL.

Would like to see Cam Ward in scarlet and gray next season but it might be wishful thinking
He signed w ND
Hey Matt I love you videos keep up the great content! #MattLovesBBC
Duke wouldn't of won as many games as they did if it wasn't for Riley. You seen what happened after he got hurt the team went down hill.
Leaving out context he played great defenses and didn’t exactly have great wr play and almost beat Notre dame and Florida state but got hurt against Florida state. Idk you’ll see when he plays under denbrock
Congrats friend
Personally I like Riley Leonard tough moves well
If the rematch games equal high viewer ratings, they equal money... So look for them to actually happen!!!

Lol the only way to settle the playoffs debate so nobody complains is have a 128 team playoff
Still leaving 5 out...
@@Wolverines77 hmmm I looked it up and One said 133 and another one said 128
can someone tell me how Dillon Gabriel still has eligibility left? this will be his 6th season playing college football.
You are right numbers don't lie that's why FSU should be in the CFP.
Stats don’t mean everything in a physical sport.
GO IRISH!!! WITH A PRO SYSTEM HE SHOULD BE MORE DYNAMIC
STARTS 7:00
Thanks!
Going into the transfer portal especially for a quarter back is to get paid. Selling your wares at the marketplace.
Where that Colorado video Matt

Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels had those TD numbers in a quarter.
they also had troy franklin and malik nabers while leonard had.... Jordan Moore?
