Scouting Reports - 2016 National Championship Season

Jan 19, 2017, 6:56 PM

Alright gents, I've compiled my scouting reports from the season (some of y'all asked me about these so I figured I'd compile these into one thread for the off season). You can see how I improved at getting these better (ironically after the Pitt game, go figure) with the scores. Couple quick notes:

1) I started doing these back when all we heard was Louisville this, Louisville that. I got so fed up that I decided to put all the info I researched into print so that I could shut up anyone saying otherwise. It's funny how quickly people's attitudes change when they see you know what you are talking about.

2) The big difference in the score predictions? Turnovers and lack of defense at times. I got the majority of the keys right, though my predictions were not always spot on. Again, turnovers on offense and the defense not executing as well changed things (not to mention some injuries, aka Pagano out of the VT game).

3) I have never been a coach, and I never made the team at any level (outside of playing school yard football at recess in middle school). Just a big fan who has a lot of attention to detail (makes sense why I ended up as an Army Logistics Captain for 6 years).

Without further ado, see below (links for each and a quick summary of the prediction and result)
