2006 Penn State, who creeped in at 24/25 in final AP/Coaches polls.
He beat 2 teams in the final Top 20 his sophomore year, which was Tyrone Willingham's last at ND, including the bowl-eligibility clinching win at Tennessee.

- RL will not cause anyone any sleepless nights with his arm -- other than Notre Dame. - humbaba - 1:40pm 10/7/24
- The bigger concern is why RL was the primary focus of Freeman. He's a RB who happens to throw some - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:08pm 10/7/24
- He threw for nearly 3000 yards at Duke as a sophomore, and more than Quinn or Book in Yr 2 starts - Turkish - 12:40pm 10/7/24

- He could get in? It’s a mystery on several QB recruits why we offer them and why he can’t keep them. - whatsamataU - 12:28pm 10/7/24

- He's entirely correct. - ndunabomber - 11:48am 10/7/24
- Surprised to hear it’s not worse than 30 or 40. Wonder what it is if we take out Purdue [NT]

- Good point. Use the geometric rather than arithmetic mean in calculing performance metric averages. [NT]

- Yes. Let's cherry pick just Riley's performances to support our argument. What if we take out NIU? - Turkish - 12:53pm 10/7/24

- I will hope u r right but to me the Purdue game was an outlier. NIU looked a lot like CMU offensive - ndphysics - 4:48pm 10/7/24
