Studs & Duds from Vikings 34-23 Week 14 loss vs. Lions

The Vikings did not have a lot of great performances

Things did not go the Vikings way at all on Sunday afternoon. They lost to the Detroit Lions by a score of 34-23 and it wsn’t very fun.

The Lions took a slower, more methodical approach to take over the game, but they were able to get it accomplished. The Vikings had chances to both stay in the game and even take control, but they made too many mistakes.

It’s also fair to note that the Vikings were without three of their starters and it showed early and often. Here are the week 14 studs and duds.

Kirk Herbstreit’s newest top-six sees previous No. 2 drop

What does your current top six in all of college football look like?

Kirk Herbstreit has released his updated college football top six rankings after a fairly crazy week nine wrapped up this weekend.

Despite winning by 19 on the road and staying unbeaten as they won fairly easily at Tulane, Cincinnati slid in Herbstreit’s rankings.  Who then moved up in order to bump them down?

Kirk Herbstreit on Georgia football QB Jake Fromm: ‘I’m a huge fan of his’

Kirk Herbstreit has high praise of Georgia football QB Jake Fromm ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Georgia football quarterback Jake Fromm is a guy who has been overlooked all offseason regarding his NFL Draft value.

Prior to the 2019 college football season, he was projected as an early first round draft choice, with some mocks having him as a top-five pick last summer. After a drop-off in production during his junior year, Fromm watched as his draft stock continued to dip.

Now, projected anywhere between a second and fifth round pick, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, a big Fromm fan, delivered a message to NFL scouts and general managers regarding Fromm’s draft stock.

“Anybody who has heard me talk about Jake Fromm over the past couple years knows I’m a huge fan of his,” Herbstreit said during an NFL Draft conference call. “He’s just an old soul. He’s a guy who isn’t going to go to the combine and blow everybody away with arm strength, but he’s a guy kind of like Gardner Minshew. He didn’t check every box, but next thing you know you draft him, he’s smart and picked up the system and after an injury, he’s in there and playing. Executing.

“Jake Fromm reminds me of that kind of guy. I’m interested in where he goes and what system. Whoever gets him is getting a gym rat.”

Herbstreit nailed it when discussing Fromm’s work-ethic and smarts. The Georgia signal caller recorded the second highest score in the Wonderlic test among draft-eligible quarterbacks and has often been praised for his pre-game preparation and film study.
