The final Saturday of the year 2018 is absolutely jam-packed

with some potentially excellent college football action. In fact Womens Jon Halapio Jersey , there is just a bit too much action — and too many draft prospects — for one post. So, I’ll be highlighting the first round of the College Football Playoffs in a separate post this afternoon. But for now, let’s take a look at the early games.Peach Bowl - (10) Florida vs. (7) MichiganESPN - noonIf you want the Giants to draft an EDGE rusher, this might be the game to watch. No, I’m not talking about Michigan defensive end Rashan Gary — he is skipping the game. I’m talking about Florida EDGE Jachai Polite.Polite isn’t the most highly rated EDGE prospect in the upcoming draft, but if you are looking for pure, explosive, blistering, greasy-fast speed off the edge, then he might just be your guy. Polite is a slightly undersized rusher (listed at 6’2”, 260 pounds), and his play strength isn’t where you would want it to be. However, he offers the kind of burst and bend off the edge that we haven’t seen since Osi Umenyiora’s 2010 campaign. He doesn’t yet have the technique to be a completely consistent pass rusher Jabrill Peppers Jersey , but this year Polite has 11.5 sacks, 18.0 tackles for a loss, 5 forced fumbles, and 4 passes defensed. Unfortunately, Michigan linebacker Devin Bush Jr. joins Rashan Gary in sitting out the game. Both players could be of interest to a Giants’ defense which needs help at all three levels.Players to watchFloridaJachai Polite (EDGE)Vosean Joseph (LB)Jawaan Taylor (OT) MichiganLavart Hill (CB)Chase Winovich (EDGE)Zach Gentry (TE)Belk Bowl - South Carolina vs. VirginiaABC - NoonIf you want to scout defensive backs for the Giants, the other game to be played at noon might be the one you watch. Virginia boasts a good cornerback - safety duo in CB Bryce Hall and S Juan Thornhill. Both players fit the Giants’ mold of bigger, longer defensive backs and could fill holes on the defense. Hall has been a starter since his freshman season and has plenty of experience in Virginia’s off-man coverage scheme. As a junior, he still has a year of eligibility remaining, and while he has made his decision with regards to 2019, he won’t announce it until after the game. Thornhill is an active and productive safety who could go a long way toward shoring up the back end of the Giants’ defense. He has a reputation as a smart player and has the experience at corner which the Giants seem to value highly in their free safeties. Unfortunately, top South Carolina receiver Deebo Samuel is sitting the game out, and would have provided an excellent test for Virginia’s secondary — and vice versa. However, that does give Bryan Edwares Kerry Wynn Jersey , SC’s number two receiver, a chance to shine. Edwards needs to show that he has the athleticism to be a true “X” receiver in the NFL, but if he doesn’t, he could still be a good Flanker at the next level.players to watchSouth CarolinaBryan Edwards (WR)Javon Kinlaw (DT)VirginiaBryce Hall (CB)Juan Thornhill (S)Giants-Saints final score: Giants fall to Saints 33-18, move to 1-3 The New York Giants fell on Sunday to the New Orleans Saints, 33-18. The Giants are now 1-3 one quarter of the way through the season.The Giants tried their best to make it a game late. After trailing 26-10 late in the fourth quarter, Eli Manning and the Giants offense went down the field and with a Saquon Barkley touchdown and a Sterling Shepard two-point conversion, cut the Saints lead to 26-18. The Saints put the game out of reach with a 49-yard rushing touchdown from Alvin Kamara with just over two minutes left. “We’re 1-3 and that’s not where we want to be right now. Some games that were close enough that if we made more plays, we might’ve had an opportunity to win,” said head coach Pat Shurmur. “You just keep working. You just keep working and you play your way out of it and you coach your way out of it. Period.”Eli Manning finished the game 31-of-41 passing for 255 yards and one touchdown. Manning was unable once again this week to throw the ball down the field, averaging 6.21 yards per attempt. Odell Beckham Jr. had a relatively quiet afternoon. Beckham finished with seven catches for 60 yards and was stopped from getting into the end zone. Sterling Shepard reeled in 10 catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.Moments that matteredFirst-half bend-not-break defense: The Giants defense defined the saying ‘bend not break’ in the first half. Big Blue allowed the Saints into the red-zone four times in the first half, all resulting in field goals. The defensive stands close to the end zone kept the Giants in the game in the first half. Kamara rips apart Giants defense: Saints running back Alvin Kamara excelled in Sunday’s game, rushing for 134 yards on 19 carries http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-will-hernandez-jersey , including a two touchdown runs, both of which put the Saints back up two possessions. Kamara also added 47 yards receiving onfive receptions. With his two fourth-quarter touchdowns, Kamara put the game out of reach. Eli Manning makes history: With Eli Manning’s first quarter touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard, Manning passed Fran Tarkenton for 7th-most all-time in passing touchdowns with 343. Chances, chances, chances: With a couple minutes left in the third quarter, the Giants had to ball in the Saints red-zone, looking for a touchdown to cut the deficit to one possession. Following a couple of incompletions, the Giants were forced to kick a field goal, making the score 19-10, still a two-possession game. What’s next?The Giants play travel to play the Carolina Panthers next Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.
