I think Auburn-Clemson will end up being a better game than OU-OSU. OSU should beat up the land burglars pretty good.

And Georgia goes to ND? Didn't realize that was happening.

According to the internets, this is Georgia's first game north of the Mason-Dixon Line since 1965, but there is some disagreement about whether a recent game in Boulder, CO should count. Either way, Georgia football doesn't make its way to Midwest or Northeast with any frequency. In addition, the Falcons play the Bears the next day in Chicago, so there could be as many as 20,000 Georgia fans in South Bend this weekend. I'm looking forward to viewing it from my couch, but I wish those two games canderson mentioned (plus USC-Stanford) were not on at the same time.

Yeah, there's actually four quality games this weekend that are all on at the same time, which kind of sucks: Notre Dame/Georgia, Oklahoma/Ohio St.,USC/Stanford, and Auburn/Clemson

Lamar Jackson has 393 passing 3 TDs, no INTs, 131 rushing 2 TDs vs UNC with still more than 6 mins to go. 40-28 Cards.

edit: Goodness he just ran for another TD

It's San Jose State but Texas is looking much better today. I still see mistakes being made though (I'm looking at you, Brandon Jones).

Something to build on at least.

IU just got screwed on an Absolutly horrendous targeting call. One of the worst I have seen (it l

It wasn't even called targeting live. They only called it after review (fumble recovery returned for a TD)

I actually disagree; I'm incredibly unimpressed. SJSU looks so bad.
Pitching a shutout while putting up 56 with 400+ rushing yards behind a true freshman QB making his first start is an improvement over last week's dumpster fire, opponent be damned. No, this isn't Alabama but it's not Liberty either (Haha, suck it, Baylor).

If nothing else, it shows the coaching staff may finally understand the team's identity. This isn't a team that's going to win a lot throwing the ball 51 fucking times.

Oregon has 42 by halftime vs. Nebraska.
bob diaco ladies and gents. was honestly the worst coach i had ever seen while at UConn. no udnerstanding of game strategy, no accountability, kids had no clue when facing option, he literally never returned a punt becasue they did not practice it...it was remarkable. how he connived nebraska is beyond me

Can't imagine what chapped McElwain enough not to promise the starting job to Grier when his suspension was over. How you let that kid walk with the QB dredge on your roster is beyond me. He was 6-0, now he's lighting it up for someone else.

I remember when the Stanford defense occasionally put pressure on the quarterback and forced an incompletion, neither of which they have done a single time this evening, literally.

Two things:

1) rapey is 0-2 after losing to UTSA lolololol

2) La Tech lost a 87 yard fumble and had a 3rd and goal from their own 7 (i.e. 3rd and 93) today. Seriously, watch this video it's amazing.

That's like the opposite of the holy roller.
Third and goal from ones own 7 was something I have never seen before.
Same here. Play call discussion must've been funny to overhear. "We should get away from the end zone for a punt, or try a hail mary to the 50 to get an interception on purpose"

edit: looked it up, they ran it for 21 yards, boring
