Jr T M Ballantyne

2019 - The Greatest Season Ever! - Return of the Four Horsemen Jr T M Ballantyne

Many experts predicted that the same four teams who have either been to, or were on the cusp of the national playoffs 3 or more times in the past four years would be there again this year: Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Due to the untimely season-ending injury to their Heisman-hopeful quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama would not make it; nor would Georgia, whose loss to eventual National Champion LSU in the SEC Championship - their second of the season - knocked them out of contention. The team that this author picked to be No. 5 in the preseason, Ohio State, would join two of his three other Top Four picks - Clemson and Oklahoma to round out the Final Four. The stable of Heisman-contending quarterbacks would come from each of those same four teams...as also predicted in this book. It also turns out that three of those top four QB's were transfers...from one of the other Top Five of the author's preseason picks. What no one really saw coming was the emergence of Ohio State transfer Joe Burrow, and Ed Orgeron's Bayou Bengals from Baton Rouge! While Burrow had been Ohio's Mr. Football and the state's Gatorade Player of the Year while in high school, he had warmed the bench at Ohio State for two years before transferring to LSU as a junior for the 2018 season. So the intrigue couldn't have been greater in this, The Greatest Season Ever! Devouring this book will be pure delight for every college-football aficionado, with a plot and story line more compelling than anything that could have been concocted for a best-selling novel. So sit back, relax, and relish the fun of reliving the Greatest Season Ever! You'll be glad you did!
