Our class is climbing fast lol

This reminds me of the '98 team that ran through everybody. We've always had the grit to win the close ones, something your progam never understood.

tulsa's defense allowed just 4.8 yards per play last season, which was top 30 nationally.

You must have missed the 2002 season when we shut you down at Frank M. Lindsay Field.

Notre Dame's schedule is a joke, they'd be a 7-5 team in the Mountain West

That's a wild take from a rival fan who clearly hasn't watched a snap. Our offensive line is a brick wall and our running backs are breaking tackles every single week. You're just hoping we're weak because your team got pushed around last season. The only thing "overrated" is your entire program's recent history against us. Come to Manhattan and say that, see what happens.

UNC is the fraud

Notre Dame's schedule is always overrated. They play 4-5 real games a year and call it tough. UConn played a harder schedule last year by SP+ SOS metrics. Their independent status is a branding choice, not a competitive one. They haven't won a major bowl in over 30 years. Talk to me when they actually have to win a conference championship to get anywhere.

We own THE CIAA

Notre Dame's schedule is a real question mark. They face only one preseason top 15 team, while Colorado has to navigate a gauntlet in the new Big 12. Strength of schedule matters.

Everyone? Speak for yourself. We just reloaded with elite talent and our coaching staff is second to none. You'll see soon enough.

We need to keep building that pipeline to compete for recruits on that national stage

Everyone? Speak for yourself. We've been dominating the recruiting trail and our offensive scheme is a nightmare for any defense. Our quarterback room is stacked, and Lanning has built a culture that wins big games. You're just hoping we slip up because you know what's coming in the fall. The Big Ten isn't ready for the speed we bring every single Saturday.

We're gonna run the table in the UMAC this year, just watch

you know, i respect what notre dame has built over there, but let's be real, they play a completely differnt schedule than we do. we're grinding it out every single week in the cciw, which is one of the toughest d3 conferences in the nation top to bottom. our guys are playing for the love of the game and the name on the front of the jersey. we take pride in our program's integrity and the way we develop men of character on and off the field. the thunder tradition runs deep, and a win for us means just as much as any of theirs. we might not have the golden helmets, but we've got heart, grit, and a brotherhood that you can't buy. so while they're chasing their national spotlight, we're building something real right here in wheaton, and we wouldn't trade it for anything.

BC's defense allowed 3.9 yards per carry last year.

We own the SEC

We respect the tradition but we're building something special here at Roosevelt

We're building something special and our recent recruiting classes prove it

We've got the best young quarterback in the conference and our defense is only getting better

That take is pure delusion from a rival fan who can't handle reality. Bethel's offense isn't just good, it's revolutionary at our level. The scheme is miles ahead of anything our conference has seen in a decade. You're judging based on last year's stats when we had a freshman QB getting his first snaps. He's a sophomore now and the game has slowed down for him completely. Our offensive line returns four starters and they've added serious muscle. The idea that we'll be "exposed" shows you haven't watched a single spring practice. Our coordinator turned down a bigger job to stay because he knows what we have cooking. Other teams are trying to copy our playbook, not stop it. They wish they had our skill position speed. We're going to put up 40 points a game and there's nothing your defense can do about it. Keep sleeping on us, it just makes the inevitable victory that much sweeter. Your analysis is lazy and driven by jealousy, not film study.

That's a wild take coming from a rival fan, and it's completely wrong. Baylor's offense has been explosive for years, and the idea that we're suddenly broing is just wishful thinking from someone who doesn't watch our games. We've consistently put up points in big moments and developed playmakers that go to the NFL. Our scheme adapts to our personnel, and calling it predictable shows a real lack of football knowledge. Maybe you're just used to seeing your own team struggle to move the ball and you're projecting. The Big 12 is an offensive league, and Baylor has been at the forefront of that. We've had down years, every program does, but the foundation is anything but boring. To say our offense lacks creativity is to ignore the entire history of what we've built here. You're confusing a single season's results with a permanent identity, and that's a mistake. Our track record speaks for itself, and it's far more exciting than whatever your team is trying to run.

The noise around our 2025 class is building, and the composite rankings don't lie. We're stacking elite talent while others are just watching.

This kid from a rival school clearly wasn't watching football when we were pounding the rock with Ron Dayne and winning Rose Bowls. Everyone has a down year, but to say we're irrelevant shows a short memory. I remember when we were the team nobody wanted to play in November, grinding teams into dust with that classic Wisconsin offensive line. You don't build a program that lasts by chasing flash in the pan trends. We've had our slumps before, like after the Alvarez glory days, but we always come back. Real programs have identity, and ours is toughness. These new kids in the league with their fancy offenses forget what wins in the Big Ten when the weather turns. We'll be back to playing in January games while others are home wondering what happened. The game cycles, but tradition doesn't fade.

their defense allowed 5.7 yards per play.

That take completely ignores what actually happened on the field last season. Florida State's defense finished 6th nationally in yards per play allowed at 4.62, and their red zone defense was elite, ranking 11th in the country. Saying they were "exposed" is a lazy narrative pushed by people who didn't watch the games. They held LSU to 17 offensive points, Clemson to 14 in the second half, and Louisville's offense to 6 points in the ACC Championship. The secondary was a legit strength, allowing a completion percentage under 56%. The idea that they were a paper tiger is just wrong and sounds like sour grapes from a rival fan who can't handle that FSU's defense was objectively one of the BEST units in the country. The stats back it up, the film backs it up. They weren't perfect, but no defense is. To call them exposed is to ignore a full season of dominant performances against top-tier competition.

Everyone? Speak for yourself. Our defense is loaded and we've been building depth for years. You'll see when we shut down your offense in the Dome.

You're just scared of our defense
