  - Angeli is not going to win a NC, give Minchey a shot [NT] - holybull101 - 5:30pm 9/25/24
- If we get behind more than 2 TDs in a game, it will force his hand. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:41am 9/25/24
  - It'd be smarter to tag team them than throwing Angeli in cold to win a game. [NT] - DiscoRick - 12:35pm 9/25/24
    - That sounds like a workable plan [NT] - ColeyO - 1:16pm 9/25/24

- Carr is 4th on the depth chart - McIrish - 7:57pm 9/24/24
  - If he is fourth on the depth chart he needs to transfer. He is only hurting himself by staying. [NT] - Dr Lou - 4:20am 9/25/24
    - The plan all along was to redshirt, he's not "hurting himself" by staying. [NT] - Clem - 5:04am 9/25/24
