Mississippi State has lost to Kentucky as a ranked team for the first time since 1953, Bear Bryant’s last season in Lexington.

Texas Tech is hammering Ok State in Oklahoma.

I didn't expect that.

Big 12 is the most competitive conference imo. 

 

[joffer]

How is that Oregon play not a TD? Is the pylon no longer a part of the endzone?

It’s also out of bounds

 

[mr. furley]

local D3 team beat a team from Iowa today, 91 - 0.

guy i work with and his kid went. it was 35 - 0 at the end of the first. they scored 5 defensive or special teams touchdowns. 

guy said he wanted to leave at half (56 - 0) but his kid wanted to see if they could hang 100.

almost, son. almost.

Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray finished with 28 tackles against Army. That is the most by an FBS player since 2000, the furthest back the NCAA record book goes, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Oregon goes up 30-7, I take the dogs out and get a beer and it’s 24-21????

 

[Long Ball Larry]

so was that missed hand-off an intentional misdirection?

i left the room to go make some coffee after the (apparent) Oregon TD.  I'm waiting for it to steep and my wife starts laughing (after the fumble return TD) and says you gotta come see this.

UK blows out MSST!  UK!  What is going on in CFB? 

Coach Cal finally told Stoops what tricks he pulls to get better recruits.

Fun fact: Rutgers paid Buffalo $900,000 for the ###-kicking today.

That is the CFB equivalent to being a cuckold. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I may be the last person to know this, but there are 3 St. Brown brothers and their father was a Mr. Universe?  Wow.

 

[Christo]

Is it true that you have to pay $60 to watch Oklahoma beat Army?

I paid $54.99 for that excruciating privilege.

[whoknew]

Oh my Oregon.

 

[Capella]

Turned the Oregon game off again. Guess I won’t learn. 

 

[culdeus]

Could oregon not have kneeled out regulation?  Is my math that bad?

Curt Hogg‏ @CyrtHogg 6m6 minutes ago

Wisconsin has punted from the Iowa 44, 43 and 49 on 4th downs of 4, 3 and 3 yards, respectively.

 

[whoknew]

I saw on twitter that they would've likely punted with about 10 seconds left.

Minute left and Stanford had one TO. So....yes they could have. 

 

[Capella]

I guess I’m wrong? I thought there was like 1:02 left.

Patrick Netherton  @PTNetherton

Here’s what would have happened if Oregon kneeled.

1st down kneel at 1:41. Timeout. Let’s say 1:39.

2nd down kneel runs clock to :59

3rd down kneel runs clock to :19.

Punt runs clock to under :10 and Stanford has no timeouts to go length of field

 

[Nipsey]

Would have been 10-12 seconds left.

 

[whoknew]

Brutal loss for ORE.

 

[Zegras11]

that was quite the impressive choke job right there.

 

[mr. furley]

Badgers with the comfortable win

slow and steady wins the race...

It would have gone like this (assuming that each kneel takes 2 seconds off the clock):

1:43 (1st and 10 from 50) - kneel
1:01 (2nd and 11 from 49) - kneel, Stanford timeout
0:59 (3rd and 12 from 48) - kneel
0:17 (4th and 13 from 47) - punt

Stanford gets the ball back deep in their own territory with ~10 seconds on the clock.

Very curious play calling by Oregon.

Classic Cristobal

It’s not really curious. Few of us spent all offseason saying how unfit Cristobal was to be a HC. I’m sure our boy Noonan won’t be talking about Willie for a while at least.

Yeah....

 

[General Malaise]

Nice of the Pac-12 to reveal their true sucky colors before October this season.  Wow....

Not sure what the line will be in Oregon/Stanford, but I plan on tapping Stanford quite heavily.  

Not how I thought it would unfold.  Almost feel guilty cashing this ticket.  

Nah, I'll treat this one like a Cristoballmas gift. 

 

[strykerpks]

Fun fact: Rutgers paid Buffalo $900,000 for the ###-kicking today.  

Funner fact, Buffalo head coach came from D3 UW Whitewater that won like 5 national championships. They got a good one. 

Hoping he continues to do well

 

[strykerpks]

Lot of you weirdos have a strange definition of “fun”

Your face is a buffalo

Boom roasted

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If Oregon played Nebraska that would be neat. 

 

[whoknew]

Wow. Big 50 yard FG by SDSU kicker. Money.

 

[Christo]

Visitors' locker room after Army left Norman yesterday. 

 

[The Commish]

The only thing missing from those Oregon uniforms was the use of comic sans font....brutal.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Oregon playcalling was actually very good all game.  I don't mind him not kneeling at the end but he needed to stress to the freshman running back two hands on the ball at all times.  

I take Cristobal and the direction Oregon is heading all day over Taggart.  Oregon dominated Stanford and if not for a couple fluke plays it was a blowout.  To dominate Stanford lines on both sides of the ball was awesome.  Anyone who watched that game knows Oregon is better than Stanford.

FSU / Oregon is my new favorite rivalry. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Clemson named Trevor Lawrence starting QB.   

@bigmarc27 Will Kelly Bryant still rotate in or does this mean Dabo is making Lawrence the starter and Bryant the backup?

 

[Jayrok]

It's definitely Trevor's team.  The offense is more energized with him back there vs Kelly.  I still think Kelly rotates in though, just not every 2 series like before.  Lawrence, Ross and Higgins are going to make some big time highlights in the next couple of years.

The only article I’ve seen didn’t have a quote from Dabo, so just guessing but I think Jayrock is probably right that KB will still get some gametime.  It might not / probably won’t be an equal split but he probably still plays.

Let's see if this staff can at least learn from this.  Previous regimes would make the same mistakes over and over and it drove me nuts.  Kick field goals and take points when you can, chew clock when you have a lead, take care of the football, limit penalties.  These aren't difficult concepts; they are proven effective methods of winning football games.  It's all well and good to jump out to big leads but you have to protect them.  My hope is that this current coaching staff can learn from this and close out games in the future.  Call me cautiously optimistic.

I’m having trouble seeing how they get to four wins.  Is this it for Johnson?

 

[facook]

Nah, I'll treat this one like a Cristoballmas gift. 

Think we could convince Chip to leave UCLA and come north?  Like, before Saturday?  That was brutal.

 

[bigmarc27]

Who do you want?  You’ve got to go somewhat young and let them go through the growing pains of turning your offense into something completely different. 

As an aside, Im sitting outside with the dog and today is probably the best weather day of the year in GA.
