Houston v FSU on now, the camera just showed UH OC Major Applewhite in the booth along w other UH coaches, not sure which one is our new OC or if he was even there or on the sidelines w the team, but am surprised Major Applewhite isn't a HC somewhere by now.

Looks like FSU QB Sean McGuire, via Seton Hall Prep, got knocked out of the game from a hard tackle near the sideline. That stinks for him. Everett Gholson didn't make the trip due to 'personal reasons', hmmmm?
Anyone remember the semi final NJ playoff game about 5 years ago between Seton Hall Prep and Bergen Catholic ? BC's QB was Tanner McEvoy, SHP had a 215 lb LB/TE named Conor Wujiack , now a 300 pound DT for Boston C ! lol McGuire was the SHP QB in that game , but BC put a lot of pressure on him. McEvoy was an all state WR the year before and became the BC QB that year.
I also remember BC HC Nunzio Campanile electing to onside kick every single time they scored, and actually recovered some and running up the score. He was still on siding even when up by about40 in 4th qtr. I found that pretty odd.

I was at the SHP-BC game which I beleive was 2010. My son graduated SHP with McGuire. And it was their junior year. The SHP running back who went to Villanova was banged up and did not play much. With him went Seton Hall's chances.

2 things I learned that day 1) McEvoy was the best player on the field by far and 2) the BC coach was a d bag for running up the score with all those onside kicks

Was the injured SHP RB Kevin Monagai ?

You got the line wrong. Oklahoma is 4 point favorite
