College football is popular because it represents the highest level of amateur competition, features intense rivalries, provides a platform for young athletes to showcase their talents, and is steeped in tradition and pageantry.
@@rk12395basically🤣 the speed is really whats changed the game. You got 230lb grown men moving at 20mph in full pads🤣 every hit is a brick wall now lmao
A wise man once said “college football is beautiful because it’s the only time in sport where u can watch a future pro bowler absolutely destroy a future accountant”
5:13 the first guy that tried to tackle the runningback and the running back himself both play in the NFL on the same team lol. Jaire Alexander (defense) and AJ Dillion (offense) currently play for the Green Bay Packers.
Poor Sophie. Her heart is too pure for the savagery of US football. She doesn't want to see people getting flattened. Her faces are if she's watching car accidents take place.😅
@persistentlypathetic6820 dude no if you ain't physically built for it no way most dudes way 170-175 we getting flat line first way trip to the hospital bed
@@TheTruth0401 lol plenty of NFL players that are lean 175 to 180lbs lol, it's all about the way you take and get hit, the bad injuries come from helmet leaders or people who don't get low like they're supposed to.
The Alabama Crimson Tide has on several occasions had 98,000 fans show up to their Spring scrimmage game before a season begins. 4 starting quarterbacks in the NFL were Alabama QB's - Jalen Hurts at Philadelphia Eagles, Mac Jones at the Patriots, Tua Tagoviloa at the Dolphins, and Bryce Young at the Carolina Panthers. Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram were Alabama running backs too.
The speed and agility of these athletes are incredible. What people outside of the US may not know is a lot of the skilled position players like WR RB and QB also run track in high school and sometimes college. Sometimes they are dual sport athletes. Running hurdles in competition makes it look easy hurdling defenders on the field.
9:50 what made rhat play even better is that was the biggest rivalry game for our team Ole Miss Vs Mississippi State. In Mississippi if we lose every game of the season but beat Mississippi state it’s a successful year 😂😂😂
One major reason the attendance is higher in college vs nfl is that some of these big college football programs are at universities with large student bodies. The students get season tickets for very cheap. For instance Ohio State’s stadium capacity is around 110,000, but they have over 50,000 students that attend their university. It’s a huge part of your college experience and they don’t want to miss one home game.
Convertin Soph in to an American Football fan, way to go Daz! Its always fun to see people find the NFL for the first time and they find enjoyment in the sport. If ya like speed it might be the year to be a Miami Dolphins fan, Hill, Waddle, Mostert, and now Achane are all some of the fastest players in the NFL all on one team.
Daz West Virginia’s first game this year is at Penn State. It’s an old rivalry with a bunch of prior meetings, this year is the first meeting in over 30 years. It’s a night game and it’s not a full whiteout but it will be close, should be a hell of a scene.
The fastest times clocked in college and the pros is 4.2 seconds in the 40 yard dash. I think Gaynor loves American football. She seems so get a real chuckle out of watching it! 🤣
Sophie, you can absolutely check out a game! The NFL comes to London each year and sometimes college football comes to Ireland. Good excuse to take the ferry! Would love to see a video of you / family enjoying a game!!
Not only is College Football more widespread, 130 D1 FBS teams vs 32 NFL teams, it's also much older, 1869 vs 1920. The forward pass is older than the NFL as it was made legal in 1906.
I’m sorry guys but Sophie is so sweet and so upbeat I have to know…how is she related to the family? I must have missed that episode and it’s been driving me crazy! I really enjoy watching all your reactions…y’all do a great job!!
The first AF game was played in 1869 between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton, using rules based on the rules of soccer at the time. The NFL, which came into being officially in 1920, only has 32 teams with some states having 2 or more teams verses nearly 900+ colleges spread throughout 49 states. College is were the rituals, traditions and pageantry began like tailgating, cheerleaders, halftime shows, music, etc. . Less than 1% of college players get drafted into the NFL and if drafted, you still have to fight to be a starter at your position.
I enjoy your reactions across all of your platforms - and it's fun watching a British family & friends enjoy American sports. Something i would point out about college football players - as talented as they are - almost every single player you just watched wasn't good enough to have a career in the NFL. That's how difficult it is to play professional football. It's always fun to me to watch college players - there's something pure - even innocent about young men playing a sport for the love of the game itself - sure each player dreams of a professional career - but they're not ignorant - they know the odds are against them - most know their level of talent (some overrate themselves and are delusional) but they still play - for the love of the game. Almost every athlete you watched - that was their pinnacle - and the end - of their playing days. What became of them? I hope something good. We will never know. But it's fun to watch. Thanks for your reaction and thanks for posting this one.
And I would like to add to Sophie.. If you're watching American football on television the announcers tell you everything that's going on... and they have replays. they are very good about explaining everything.
There are no NFL teams at all in some states, like Alabama for example. Almost the entire state can support one college team. In Alabama they have two main programs, University of Alabama and Auburn.
7:06 what happened there? Daz, There’s a technique in football where one person stands up the ball carrier and all the others swarmed to try and strip the ball out but sometimes they focus on that and the dude ends up getting away because they’re not tackling😂
I’m so happy to hear you’re a mountaineer, especially since I watch your channel! I am born and raised in West Virginia and most of us from here are West Virginia fans even if we graduated from another college in or out the state (unless you went to Marshall).
6:03 I believe after Troy Polamalu got tackled by the hair on an interception they looked to change the rule about tackling by the hair In NFL, Im not sure about college😂 Larry Johnson of the Chiefs, running back tackled him by the hair ruclips.net/user/shortsYwvH70eBnx4?feature=share
Loyalty also plays a factor I think - something that is often lost in professional US sports that international soccer seems to maintain. Often in the NFL, NBA, or MLB, players sign with the highest bidder every few years. Not many demonstrate devotion to an organization. It means more when you know the players are fighting for the team.
The fastest 40 time for a running back is Bo Jackson at 4.13 which is insane, that's faster than Deion Sanders and Randy Moss. In recent memory I think it's Chris Johnson when he ran a 4.24 which is still Olympic level sprinting running into collisions with 300 pound lineman who can bench press double their weight, over and over again.
I was gonna tell you that Notre Dame is playing Navy in Dublin on August 26th but the tickets start at $700. You'd be better off flying to the US and going to a college game here.
Daz, you should watch some Tavon Austin West Virginia highlights. The team was fun to watch from the QB play to the defense, but Austin was the Rolls Royce of the program.
There have been a few Olympic track & field stars in the NFL: Bullet Bob Hayes and Marquise Goodwin come to mind right away. Tons of NFL players were high level HS track stars and many run in college too.
college sports in America are a lot like your clubs in the Premier league well all the leagues. A big school like Alabama or Michigan or USC (Southern California) annually graduates 10 to 20 thousand. Those are always supporters of that school.
2:50 Going off from what Daz said: there is WAY more passion and pride within the communities. Alumni, college students, kids who are in high school looking at colleges to go to. And also, the tradition stays the same more than the NFL. Mainly because the schools are a lot older, as well as, it's more of a family event with tailgating; compared to the NFL. The NFL rigs a lot of games anyway, so more people are turning off NFL games.
College football is the original "American football". History, traditions and loyalties were well established amongst the colleges by the time the NFL came along.
Edwards-Hellaire played in ten games for the Chiefs last year, started six of them. "On November 23, 2022, Edwards-Helaire was placed on injured reserve. He was activated from injured reserve on February 6, 2023, but was inactive for Super Bowl LVII...The Chiefs declined their 2024 fifth-year option for Edwards-Helaire on May 2, 2023."
I'm sure it's been mentioned below here somewhere, but one of the main reasons college football is bigger than the NFL is because it's much older than the NFL. Generations grew up with only a college team to root for before an NFL team arrived near them. The roots of the loyalty to the universities are often far deeper in families than their love of an NFL team.
College football is wildly popular. Games are parties hours before the game start time. Even small colleges can draw 10,000 people. High school games routinely have 1,000 people. A lot of of schools are making a great deal of money off of football games. It’s a big business. Remember, no player is paid anything at all to to play. The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA) works real hard at making sure of this. Players also have to maintain a minimum Grade Point Average in school. Players are college students FIRST and athletes second.
“Tyreek Hill” (The Cheetah) …No One is Faster. I bet they’d find College Crowd Traditions a fun watch. BTW Saw Oasis Perform Live after the Manchester Match…..Leon Didn’t come on stage
The majority of the fans in college football are graduates and students. They have a lifelong passion for their university because they were students there. That's why the crowds are so loud and passionate in the stadiums. ...Sofie is correct. The football players all go through serious weightlifting (upper-body and lower-body) and nutrition programs before and during the season.
College/University level sports is the Goldilocks area for sports. Everyone has a high school with some amount of high school sports team and those are found in every neighborhood. Only major cities tend to have major league sports teams. College athletics are spread out enough where every state has at least 1 representing university or college, there's usually rivalries between both in-state schools and other "notorious" long lived "feuds", and generally speaking the players are a bit better. They aren't paid for their performance on the field, which is something being considered, but they go full bore every game regardless. There are a bunch of NFL teams that honestly half-a*s it until they get to play that one team they really hate or they are trying way too hard. But they end up getting paid because they're on contract and have little to really lose in the end besides "pocket change" in the form of sponsorships. College athletes are looking for sponsorships and to be scouted by "the best" professional teams out there, so they're trying to strut their stuff every game. It makes for a better experience overall when you know that losing is something truly undesired for the players. If you doubt me then just look at the Detroit Lions. NFL team, never been to the Super Bowl, still is around and their players are still being paid regardless of how their season's going. Meanwhile nearby, Notre Dame's Fighting Irish in Indiana busts their a*ses to be a prominent name in college football. None of the players are being paid aside from their own sponsorship deals, but they've really been one of the "who's who" of college football for a good few decades. You NEED to show Sophie one of the "Big Man"/Fridge play videos. Just to show what happens when a less nimble player gets a hold of the ball.
When you guys were talking about speed. The faster guys in the league are just barely below the level of Olympic sprinters while weighing upwards of 220 lbs
It sucks when that happens to you.... Not only in front of 50 or 100,000 people..... half of the country, and all the friends and family watching at home.. Not the mention ESPN sportscenter, They will show it about 100 times a day on the highlights.
Bad enough when these kids get embarrassed in the game, but then they have to watch it again on video with the whole team when the coaches critique the game.
Our pro teams move around a lot, changed names, etc bc the beginning of the leagues weren’t successful. Imagine Liverpool or Chelsea moving from one end of the country to another. That’s why college sports are bigger here, they represent us more
Come watch the Georgia Bulldawgs! We are the back to back National Champions! Why go to bamaa or Michigan we beat bama and Michigan twice. GO Dawgs! 8:19
Naji Harris is going into his second year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They expect big things out of him this year. The NFL plans on expanding into Europe one day, I believe they want 4 teams there. They haven't mentioned what cities, but I can't fathom London wouldn't be one.
Please watch DeAnthony Thomas at Oregon., CJ Spiller at Clemson or Jahvid Best at Cal Berkley. Some of the greatest runningbacks/wideouts in CFB History.
Bo Jackson ran a 4.13 40yrd dash but it wasn't recorded at the combine. John Ross recorded the fastest 40 time at the combine at 4.22. He was a wide receiver out of Washington State. College programs are huge locally. NFL teams like the Steelers, Bears and Raiders have fans all over the country. It's just a more refined game and better skill all around in the NFL. Check out the local Raiders Pub in your area, Daz. I bet there's one.
I think Bo Jackson is the greatest RB and overall athlete of all time. Not only was he fast, he was incredibly strong and had excellent hand-eye coordination.

they can get up to 23 mph in game. that's with fatigue and full pads on in a game situation
I didnt realize dillion had faced jaire in college and now they're teammates on the packers. Good thing jaire wasnt the guy he threw to the ground.
Can’t believe there was no nick Chubb highlights at UGA
Come watch the Georgia Bulldawgs! We are the back to back National Champions! Why go to bamaa or Michigan we beat bama and Michigan twice. GO Dawgs! 8:19
You gotta go to an Alabama game at night
Naji Harris is going into his second year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They expect big things out of him this year.
The NFL plans on expanding into Europe one day, I believe they want 4 teams there. They haven't mentioned what cities, but I can't fathom London wouldn't be one.
Please watch DeAnthony Thomas at Oregon., CJ Spiller at Clemson or Jahvid Best at Cal Berkley. Some of the greatest runningbacks/wideouts in CFB History.
Now Jaire and AJ are on the same NFL team
Bo Jackson ran a 4.13 40yrd dash but it wasn't recorded at the combine. John Ross recorded the fastest 40 time at the combine at 4.22. He was a wide receiver out of Washington State.
College programs are huge locally. NFL teams like the Steelers, Bears and Raiders have fans all over the country. It's just a more refined game and better skill all around in the NFL. Check out the local Raiders Pub in your area, Daz. I bet there's one.
I think Bo Jackson is the greatest RB and overall athlete of all time. Not only was he fast, he was incredibly strong and had excellent hand-eye coordination.
Poor Soph you ll get her out in the world soon lol but college football 🏈 is great n they play with their hearts yes Soph would love live games
My chiropractor just scooped me on the drowning death of former NFL and Arkansas Razorbacks QB Ryan Mallett.
Fastest recorded time in the 40 yd dash by an college / NFL player:
Bo Jackson (Auburn University / Oakland Raiders) running back 4.16 seconds
*unofficial*
Zero proof. Just myth.
If you're tackling you can pull hair, clothes, pads, shoes, feet, hands, anything but the facemask.
It doesn't matter where u live u pick a college team and support them
Rutgers Scarlet Knights 😮
40 yard dash, not meter
There's no exact way to see who's the fastes. But probably tyreek Hill. His nickname is "cheetah".
Nothing says "Get Off Me" like Mike Alstott
I think college football is free too. But I could be wrong.
Greg Reid from Florida St had the best get off me plays in college…Go watch him destroy UNC
U know that's a NFL thumb nail
