New on Sports Illustrated: Six From Saturday: NFL Draft Prospects Shine During College Football Playoff Semifinals

<a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/12/31/nfl-draft-2020-college-football-playoff-semifinals">
<p class="subtitle">Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl were ripe with NFL-level talent from all four teams. Which players helped their draft stock?</p>
<p><em>Six things to note from the College Football Playoff semifinals...</em></p>
<p>1. Everyone know where I went to school, so here are my two thoughts on the Fiesta Bowl officiating. One, overturning Jordan Fuller’s scoop-and-score was crazy, and is evidence that the same problem that’s crept into the NFL is alive in the college game. The quality of replay has gotten so good, and officials have grown such rabbit ears as a result that we’re now seeing plenty of close calls overturned. Jeff Okudah jarring the ball loose from Justyn Ross was, at best, a 51-49 call, so I believe the call on the field should have stood. Two, the targeting call on DB Shaun Wade was correct. But man, is it a shame to take a first-round talent off the field on a play that was far from malicious.</p>
<figure><img height="349" src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTY5NDAzNzI2MjcwODM0MTM5/clemson-oklahoma-college-football-playoffs-six-from-saturday.jpg" width="620" /></figure>
<p>2. The NFL talent on that field was off the charts. Clemson’s top three receivers and Ohio State’s top three corners are better than what some NFL teams have at those positions. Okudah will be the top corner drafted this year, and Tee Higgins is right there with Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb—who</p>
</a><a href="https://www.si.com/college/2019/12/29/ceedee-lamb-enters-2020-nfl-draft-oklahoma-sooners">formally announced</a> his departure for the NFL draft—and Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy to be the first receivers. Ross and Wade are also first-rounders. And Damon Arnette and Amari Rodgers are pros, too.
<p>3. As for LSU, I wouldn’t say Joe Burrow was the player who helped himself most draft-wise on their roster Saturday, mostly because you can’t go higher than first overall—and he was No. 1 heading into the game. So give me <a href="https://www.si.com/college/2019/12/28/justin-jefferson-lsu-wide-receiver-facts-playoff-peach-bowl">Tiger junior receiver Justin Jefferson</a>, who had 14 catches for 227 yards and four touchdowns against Oklahoma. One college scouting director said on Sunday, “I think Jefferson was probably a solid third round player before the game, but he made himself a ton of cash yesterday. Probably a top 40-50 player now in a loaded WR class.”</p>
<p>4. Just so it’s properly appreciated, <a href="https://www.si.com/college/2019/12/28/joe-burrow-passing-records-lsu-first-half-vs-oklahoma">Burrow’s stat line</a> <em>at the half</em>: 21-of-27, 403 yards, seven TDs, zero INTs. And it sure felt like he mathematically eliminated his competition to be the first quarterback taken in April. The craziest part? He’ll be the second best NFL prospect at his own position in the title game.</p>
<p>5. This would be a good spot to call for an NFL team to at least inquire about LSU pass-game coordinator Joe Brady. I’ve told this story before—the Tigers found out about Brady because the then-Saints offensive assistant stood in as a speaker at their camp in 2018, after OC Pete Carmichael and QBs coach Joe Lombardi said they couldn’t make it. Brady wowed them, and they hired him the next year, at 29 years old. He’s 30 now. And he should be piquing the interest of NFL teams, based on his Saints pedigree and LSU production.</p>
<p>6. One thing to look forward to this week: Alabama and Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. Five of the receivers in this game—Jeudy, Devonta Smith and Henry Ruggs from Bama, and Donovan Peoples-Jones and Nico Collins from Michigan—could be top 100 picks.</p>

New on Sports Illustrated: Hot Clicks 100: The Best Stories, Tweets and Videos of 2019

<a href="https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2019/12/31/hot-clicks-100-2019">
<p class="subtitle">100 moments, big and small, that helped define the year in sports.</p>
<figure><img height="349" src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTY5MzIyNDc4NjQyOTMxMTYz/hot-clicks-100-graphic.jpg" width="620" /></figure>
<p>Though I’ve been writing this column for 21 months now, 2019 was my first full year on Hot Clicks. It’s been an honor to be so warmly received by readers who have been on board since Jimmy Traina started Clicks when I was in middle school (seriously) and to hear from new readers who’ve made Clicks part of their routine since I took over. </p>
<p>To mark the end of 2019, my colleague Jamie Lisanti came to me with the idea of doing a “Hot Clicks 100”: my 100 favorite items that appeared in this space over the past 12 months. I didn’t know when she suggested it just how much work that would be (that’s well over 200 columns to go back through!) but it was well worth it. Revisiting every single Hot Clicks over the past couple of weeks has been a great reminder of how much fun it is to compile the column every day, even if it’s a ton of work. (It’s also a great reminder of how many stupid typos I made. I can’t believe readers keep coming back when I make so many mistakes.)</p>
<p>Whittling a list of about 250 candidates down to a final top 100 was a colossal undertaking but I’m happy with the final list. Here it is, <strong>in no particular order</strong> but numbered to prove there are actually 100. </p>
<p><strong>100. Cody Parkey’s Double Doink was even more dramatic called by Eagles Spanish-language announcer Rickie Ricardo.</strong></p>

New on Sports Illustrated: Lamical Perine Leads No. 6 Florida Past Virginia in Orange Bowl

<a href="https://www.si.com/college/2019/12/31/florida-beats-virginia-orange-bowl">
<p class="subtitle">Lamical Perine totaled 181 yards rushing and receiving with three touchdowns Monday to help No. 6 Florida beat Virginia 36-28 in the Orange Bowl.</p>
<figure><img height="349" src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTY5NDA1MzY1MzM3NzI4Mjg5/lamical-perine-florida-orange-bowl.jpg" width="620" /></figure>
<p>MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Lamical Perine scored on a 61-yard run in the opening minute and didn't stop after that, totaling 181 yards rushing and receiving with three touchdowns Monday to help No. 6 Florida beat Virginia 36-28 in the Orange Bowl.</p>
<p>Perine carried 13 times for a career-high 138 yards rushing at the end of a so-so senior season. He came into the game with only 538 yards rushing this year in the Gators' pass-oriented offense.</p>
<p>But Perine was too quick and speedy for the Cavaliers, as his dash through their secondary on the first series showed. He also scored on a 10-yard run, caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Trask and was chosen the game's most valuable player.</p>
<p>The win means Florida (11-2), led by second-year coach Dan Mullen, will likely finish in the Top Ten in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2008-09. The Cavaliers (9-5) lost their final two games but still posted their highest win total since 2007.</p>
<p>Trask capped a storybook junior season by throwing for 305 yards. He was lightly recruited and in late September became a starter for the first time since ninth grade.</p>
<p>Florida totaled 549 yards, including a season-high 244 rushing, and didn't punt until midway through the third quarter. The Gators exposed the weaknesses in a Virginia defense that allowed more than 23 points per game and gave up 62 to Clemson in an Atlantic Coast Conference title game loss.</p>
<p>The Cavaliers' offense tried valiantly to keep up. Bryce Perkins threw for 323 yards and four scores.</p>
<p><strong>CLOSING IT OUT</strong></p>
<p>Tanner Cowley's 52-yard catch-and-run led to a Cavaliers touchdown that cut their deficit to 27-21 early in the fourth quarter. The Gators answered with a touchdown set up by Perine's 23-yard run to the 1.</p>
<p>Virginia drove 75 yards for a touchdown with 38 seconds left, but Florida recovered the ensuing onside kick.</p>
<p><strong>UP NEXT</strong></p>
<p>The Gators open Sept. 5 against Eastern Washington. They'll have to replace four senior wide receivers, plus their top cornerback and pass rushers.</p>
<p>The Cavaliers' opener will be Monday, Sept. 7 against Georgia in Atlanta. ''As many of these games as we can play, and we've earned the right to play in on the stage that we're currently in, the faster the program accelerates,'' coach Bronco Mendenhall said.</p>

New on Sports Illustrated: Sources: President Trump Called Coach Orgeron Following LSU's Playoff Semifinal Win

<a href="https://www.si.com/college/2019/12/31/donald-trump-calls-ed-orgeron-lsu">
<p class="subtitle">Donald Trump phoned LSU coach Ed Orgeron Monday, several sources told Sports Illustrated, presumably to congratulate him on his team’s 63–28 victory over the Sooners in the Peach Bowl.</p>
<figure><img height="349" src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTY5NDAyODMxMzA3MDIzODM1/donald-trump-ed-orgeron-lsu.jpg" width="620" /></figure>
<p>Ed Orgeron is used to receiving congratulatory messages and calls after any big win. That was the case again following LSU’s rout of Oklahoma in the CFP semifinal Saturday. However, one call stood out from the rest—it came from the president of the United States.</p>
<p>Donald Trump phoned the Tigers third-year coach Monday, several sources told <em>Sports Illustrated</em>, presumably to congratulate him on his team’s</p>
</a><a href="https://www.si.com/college-football/game/2162373">63–28</a> victory over the Sooners in the Peach Bowl. The win propelled No. 1 seed LSU (14–0) to the national championship game against No. 3 Clemson (14–0) on Jan. 13 in New Orleans. It is not clear if the president plans to attend the game. He appeared at the 2017 national championship game, when Alabama stormed back to beat Georgia in overtime.
<p>Details of the conversation between Orgeron and Trump remain private. Messages left with both White House and LSU spokespeople were not returned.</p>
<p>Trump, LSU and Louisiana have been interconnected in a variety of ways. He attended an LSU game already this season, watching the Tigers upset Alabama in November from a midfield suite at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. During a radio interview, he commented on LSU’s Heisman Trophy–winning quarterback, Joe Burrow. Louisiana is a strong base for the president. He won 58% of the vote in the 2016 presidential election, receiving more individual votes than any previous candidate on a Louisiana ballot. He’s remained popular in the state amid his re-election campaign and despite the impeachment.</p>
<p>He’s embraced Louisiana in such a way that the state’s largest newspaper, <em>The Advocate</em> in Baton Rouge, <a href="https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/article_187510c6-0276-11ea-a0be-cf1aaa65a8bb.html">published a story</a> in November under the headline “Donald Trump loves Louisiana; many Louisiana leaders love him back.” Trump has taken six trips to the Pelican State in the last year, according to the outlet, using various complimentary words to describe Louisiana. “I love the state. I love the people. I love the whole thing,” he said at one function. Trump has taken a liking to Louisiana's Republican leaders, too, befriending most of all House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, even calling him “My Steve” at times.</p>
<p>Trump’s call comes at an interesting time politically. Orgeron shares a close relationship with Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, who won re-election this fall over a Trump-backed Republican, Eddie Rispone. <em>Sports Illustrated</em> detailed the connection between <a href="https://www.si.com/college/2019/10/15/lsu-football-ed-orgeron-politics-governor">Orgeron and Edwards in a story published in October</a>, a pair of Louisiana natives who have bonded for both personal and political benefits. Edwards has attended multiple LSU games this season, including the semifinal win over Oklahoma. The governor posted on his Twitter a photo of Orgeron and him shaking hands during the postgame celebration. </p>

New on Sports Illustrated: Matt Rhule’s Most Likely NFL Landing Spot, Josh McDaniels’s Coaching Plan, More Black Monday Notes

<a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/12/31/nfl-black-monday-coaching-rumors-mock-draft">
<p class="subtitle">Plus, the turning point for Carson Wentz and the Eagles’ offense, a quick preview of Patriots-Titans and an early top-10 mock draft!</p>
<figure><img height="345" src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTY5NDAyMjM1MzgwMzExNTE1/matt-rhule-kevin-oconnell-josh-mcdaniels.jpg" width="620" /></figure>
<p><em>If you stick around through our nuggets, I’ll give you guys a very, VERY early mock draft. Deal? Deal. Let’s go …</em></p>
<p>• I mentioned this on Twitter: the Giants have received feedback that some coaches would be lukewarm on the job based on what’s perceived as an old-school structure gone stale. The thinking there is that too many people have been in their jobs for 10, 20 or even 30 years, and that the organization needs a bit of a reset.</p>
<p>My understanding is that Baylor coach Matt Rhule is among those who feel that way. If he’s going to land back where he was assistant offensive line coach in 2012, there’ll have to be some changes in how things are set up.</p>
<div>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"></blockquote>
</div>
</a>
<script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<p>• <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/12/30/nfl-playoffs-49ers-seahawks-eagles-titans-coach-firings-week-17-mmqb">As we mentioned this morning</a>, expect Rhule to be interviewed by least three places (New York, Dallas, Carolina), and expect that he’ll be very measured in his approach after what he went through last year. There’s no way he’s going to a place that isn’t aligned with him philosophically or tries to impose staff on him. He’s a natural fit in New York, and my feeling is they would be the most likely to land him.</p>
<p>• The Browns’ head coaching search could be similar to the Giants’—the way the franchise is set up could look different after the team hires a new coach. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has long been a favorite of the Haslams. He didn’t even get an interview last year in large part because GM John Dorsey led much of the search—and there was a belief that Dorsey was leery about hiring a head coach coming from a place where the coach is king (especially after his experience with Andy Reid in Kansas City, and what happened with McDaniels and Dorsey’s close friend, Chris Ballard, in Indianapolis). So if the Haslams choose McDaniels? It’s fair to say Dorsey would become a figure to watch.</p>
<p>• If you don’t believe McDaniels is ready for a head coaching job, look no further than the detailed plan he has for staffing. Redskins offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell is on his plan, along with Colts secondary coach Jonathan Gannon, who coached in Indianapolis the last two years because he was on McDaniels’s Ohio-heavy Colts staff list. To get the Cleveland native Gannon this time around, McDaniels would, presumably, have to make him defensive coordinator.</p>
<p>I think McDaniels would take either the Cleveland job or the Carolina job, if things are structured right.</p>
<p>• O’Connell has become an interesting figure. Incoming coach Ron Rivera could keep him in D.C.—he’s under contract and has a great rapport with 22-year-old quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Or he could wind up on McDaniels’ staff (sources say he’s on the Patriots OC’s staff list). The 34-year-old O’Connell is regarded as a future head coach, with great potential as a developer of quarterbacks and as a play-caller. McDaniels coached O’Connell as a player in 2008, his rookie year in New England.</p>
<p>• Dolphins offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea was let go, and I’m told that part of it was Brian Flores’s desire to move away from his Patriot roots on that side of the ball. Why does that make sense? My theory is that since Miami’s going to be really young the next couple years, running a scheme with the complexity of New England’s might be tough on the players developmentally. Which is why it wouldn’t surprise me if we see some more college ideas infused into what Miami is doing.</p>
<p>• A leftover from <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/12/30/nfl-playoffs-49ers-seahawks-eagles-titans-coach-firings-week-17-mmqb">my conversation with Carson Wentz</a> on Sunday night—I asked if the obvious turning point for the offense, halftime of the Week 14 game against the Giants in the rain, was the actual turning point. His answer: </p>
<p>“Everyone's asked that, and it's hard to kind of put your finger on one thing. I think the tempo offense helped, I think Coach [Doug Pederson] was dialed in with play calls. But at the same time, we just weren't executing in the first half. We knew we were just missing a lot of things and if we could just execute them at a higher level we'd be in good shape. And guys kept answering the bell and for me, it was just now or never to just, ‘Hey, trust whoever it is out there to make a play,’ and guys responded well and it's been fun.”</p>
<p>Like I said before, I believe Wentz’s ability to lift guys like Greg Ward up, which is in part due to the trust he’s referencing, is the Eagles QB taking the next step in his development. Which is huge for the whole franchise.</p>
<p>• The Titans are an interesting matchup for the Patriots, as New England prepares for its first wild-card game in a decade. There’s Mike Vrabel there, of course, who played for Bill Belichick from 2001-08. There’s defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who was Belichick’s defensive coordinator from 2006-09, and was a part of a Baltimore staff that won in Foxboro in the playoffs. There’s quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who was in the division for seven years. There’s former Patriots Logan Ryan, Dion Lewis and Malcolm Butler (though Butler’s on IR). And there’s GM Jon Robinson, who was Belichick’s college scouting director for eight years. Add that to the fact that Vrabel’s Titans blew up the Patriots 34-10 in Nashville last year, and Saturday night should be compelling.</p>
<p>• Seattle staffers spoke exceedingly highly of rookie linebacker Cody Barton in the spring and summer. I even had one compare his weekend at rookie minicamp to Russell Wilson’s in 2012, as far as having a young guy jump out right away. Well, now we get to see it. With veteran Mychal Kendricks down, Barton becomes the Seahawks’ strongside linebacker and will start for them against the Vikings on Sunday.</p>
<p>• Now, with the <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/12/30/nfl-draft-order-2020-first-round-after-regular-season">top 20 picks</a> of the NFL draft set, something to get you ready for draft season …</p>
