I love you Lamar Jackson.
I am enjoying every minute of this.

Yes!

Also, Iowa lost to North Dakota State 11 days after Kirk Ferentz got a 10-year, $49M extension. Ouch.

 

[Chris Fitzgerald]

I have watched FSU come back on the Cards each of the last two years. The boys did us proud today. Biggest regular season win in school history.

 

[D M C]

Go Buffs!

 

[MJ5150]

Thank you Nebraska. That should shut those dang Ducks up for a week.

-Mike

 

[Passinwind]

Thank you Nebraska. That should those dang Ducks up for a week.

The coaches lost the game, not the players. Missing 4 out of 5 two point conversion attempts and losing by three points -- 'nuff said. I've always liked Mike Riley though, and the Ducks deserve a down year for going to the FCS QB kludge again so soon, as far as I'm concerned. It was a very fun game to watch in any case.

 

[GregC]

Go Buffs!

It would have been so delicious if Coach Loudmouth had gone down to Colorado, especially with Brady there as captain. Oh well, they gave them a heck of a game for 3 quarters. And if their QB hadn't gotten hurt, who knows?

 

[MJ5150]

Come on Sooners.
Dartmouth is down double digits to UNH, but they're at home. Go Big Green!!

-Mike

 

[D M C]

Sooner's TD should have been a touch back. Mixon dropped the ball before crossing the goal line.

 

[D M C]

That was an amazing TD! I have never seen that happen before.

 

[GregC]

Urban's had lots of time to prep for OU, what with two cupcakes to open the season. And Mayfield has been very ordinary in the two big games I've seen him in. I think the Sooners are going to get pounded.

Riddle me this, folks. #12 Michigan State is a 7-point underdog at #18 Notre Dame. Is home field now worth like 10+ points? Especially when East Lansing isn't all that far from South Bend?

Quoting myself from the Week 2 thread. I don't wanna hear any more hype about Mayfield.

And bye bye Irish, see ya when you're in the preseason top 10 again next year.

 

[GregC]

As for my Gators, I felt they had a pretty decent chance vs. the just-skating-by Vols next week till our starting QB got hurt in the third quarter of this sluggish offensive outing. Word is he's going to be out. Bah.

 

[MJ5150]

Dartmouth wins on a TD and two point conversation with a minute left in the fourth to beat those pesky invaders from Dover.
Bummer deal on Del Rio. McElwain thought it was a cheap shot. I'm not sure I agree.
How in the world did USC leave McCaffrey so wide open?? 56 yards. Yikes.
Notre Dame should drop out of the top 25 after another loss.

-Mike

 

[MJ5150]

How does the Cal player drop the ball at the one yard line right before he scores, Texas recovers the ball in the end zone, then the officials rule Cal ball at the one?

-Mike

 

[MJ5150]

Oklahoma one of the top five hardest places to play? Come on Urban, let's not get dramatic.

Ole Miss, biggest chokes in the country. It's gonna be another rough week in Oxford.

-Mike

 

[Pilgrim]

Thank you Nebraska. That should shut those dang Ducks up for a week.

-Mike

Next week is a bye for WSU, followed by the Ducks coming to Pullman. I'll be there, hoping for the Cougs to take their next step. Based on performance to date, it's going to require a big step!
