Hate that targeting call on Penn State. Huge change in the game. If the QB stays in bounds to try and deliver a blow then all bets are off. Dude never left his feet or launched. I wish they’d take into account the way the offensive player moves/braces for contact, instead of easily going out of bounds.

Gus Johnson is correct on this one - NCAA targeting rule is terrible. 

 

[sho nuff]

Wiscy playcalling is certainly something 

Not a fan.  I like Chryst as a coach…but playcalling not so much.

And Mertz seems to just not be good.

And we never seem to be able to get past Penn State.  This will be something like 7 of the last 8 to PSU.

I heard this week Chryst in on something like a 1-10 run as a home favorite.  That's....ungood.  Didn't seem to make one adjustment at halftime today, or any time thereafter.

 

[sho nuff]

More on my annoyance with the Badger playcalling.

How many times did they bring in a tight formation…bring the defense into a box…and run right into it.  
 

The jet motion over the years has been solid…it softens things up for the run.  The sweep worked several times…yet didn’t run the motion all that much until late.

Disappointing loss…need to see much more from Mertz though…since that big opening game last year he has been pretty meh.

Now 3,570 days since the Badgers beat Penn State. 

 

[Dennis Castro]

Why do they keep talking about Ellis Burks?

 

[Insein]

Solid win by PSU. Defense looks great. Offense has some work to do but a lot of nice pieces. Good start to the season. 

 

[stbugs]

It can be awful and that one was awful. I get it, but I’ve now watched two games and both have had players thrown out who were big pieces of their Ds.

 

[Osaurus]

The U should give Bama that magic chain or whatever it is. 

 

[JaxBill]

not only is Oregon tied with Fresno State but their best player is hurt

@BruceFeldmanCFB: Oregon star DE Kayvon Thibodeaux is on the sidelines in street clothes and wearing walking boot on his leg.

Ok, I talked about bad Paul Chryst, how about good Paul Chryst?

terrible and terribly inconsistent.

Me: This Miami defense looks legit. They're getting pressure with 4 and secondary is swarming 

Also Me: Bama gonna put a fifty burger on them by the time it's over

Buckeyes going to hang half a hundred on the Ducks next week.   

 

[CletiusMaximus]

I believe these teams could easily coach their players to draw ejections if they wanted. Not saying it’s happening, but it’s easy for a ball carrier to duck into a tackle and leave the referee no choice.

Oof

 

[JaxBill]

My guess on UF-FAU...

I think Gators struggle early but eventually cover the 24.5.  Like 17-7 at half becomes 45-14 final. I say that because Willie Taggart is a terrible head coach and awful defense is his trademark (along with too many penalties overall).

Bryce has a natural maturity and presence...reminds me of Russell Wilson. And Will Anderson is an absolute beast.

 

[timschochet]

Alabama is obviously great…

But I was out doing chores so I put the game on Tunein, and I’ve been listening to the local homer Crimson Tide broadcast- man are they cocky. Just a bit ago the announcer, Eli Gold says, “The Miami broadcast is next door; wonder what they’re saying? (General laughter.)” A whole bunch of rubbing it in like that…

 

[JaxBill]

Seemed like Bama OL absorbed Miami defense best shot first 2 drives for 10 points and after the offense has left them on the field, Canes defense is spent.

More power to you, but it pisses me off that your team and Clemson have our two star quarterbacks from Mater Dei and St John Bosco, respectively, and neither UCLA or USC had the slightest chance at them. That seems wrong. 

 

[Osaurus]

Lol @ swagger from the U. The scoreboard says otherwise 

ETA: They should have a Pell Grant chain

 

[gump]

Good point and the OL has a bunch of youth and question marks so that’s a good sign (for me!).

I’m sure, but it’s all about development and their future. I’m sure USC gets back there...tougher road for UCLA.

Exactly, SEC getting CA talent...looking forward to seeing the trend eventually reverse itself.   

The state of Alabama doesn't come close to producing the talent CA does.

How do we put a hit on Saban?

 

[Kal El]

Mountaineers are holding a lead against Maryland, which is cool. Also waiting for the Gator game this evening.

They see the SEC as the rocket sled to an NFL career. SC used to be in that class, but SEC has zoomed past everyone on this.

The Will Levis kid for UK is a hoss.

 

[Tom Servo]

West Florida - who started their football program in 2016 in D2 - today beat FCS McNeese State 42 - 36.

 

[hagmania]

The Will Levis kid for UK is a hoss.

The Liam Coen era begins for the Cats. They looked good, but gotta translate to conference play.

Your claim seems a bit dubious.  Not gonna do any serious research, but a quick Google search pulled up this article, which I won't swear is gospel.

Oklahoma checking the portal for Bishop Sycamore players.   OOF ... thought today would have been an easy one.

What evidence is there that either program cares anymore?

Chip Kelly is the highest paid employee of the state of California. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Presbyterian QB Ren Hefley has set an FCS record with 10 passing TDs in a single game. Previous record by MVSU's Willie Totten of 9 was set in 1984.

The Presbyterian No Punts won 84-43.

Leesiana ships State Troopers across state lines to escort O?  Is that typical of state schools?   Roscoe P Coltrain would certainly be flummoxed.

A lot of Southern schools do that. Pretty sure Bobby Bowden had designated state troopers escort him to away games.

Went to the Texas/Louisiana game. Longhorns looked good but ... its only one game. But good start for the Sarkisian era.

@BurnerLJohnson: Biggest part I’m gonna miss about these neutral site Atlanta games is definitely gonna be the convergence of Gumps and DragonCon folks. Absolute scene.

The year is 2027. Clemson and UGA are still scoreless

Coach Bryant generally is thought to have started it.

The Fox 4k feed is so good that I’m watching that mediocre game over Georgia - Clemson. ESPN has to get this figured out quick.
