2017 College Football Game Thread - Week 3

[canderson]

This color guy on the USC game is the most unprofessional announcer I've heard on national TV since Tommy Heinsohn in like 1986.

He either went to Texas or has a thousand dollars on them.

Klatt HATES Texas. Deservedly so.

 

[canderson]

Kill me

 

[Clears Cleaver]

wow, those are two of the worst touchdowns from a coaching/game management I've ever seen

 

[Captaincoop]

Haha, eat it Longhorns and sad color guy.

 

[Captaincoop]

Amazing play and he didn't say a word.

 

[WestMassExpat]

Texas/USC a good contender for weirdest half of football all season, any team.

 

[Bosoxen]

How the hell was there not a block in the back call on that?

 

[canderson]

How the hell was there not a block in the back call on that?

Same reason as no PI calls. USC is mugging receivers.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Klatt HATES Texas. Deservedly so.

Drew Kelson murdered Klatt many years ago on a legal hit. The person announcing this game is the bitter ghost of Joel Klatt.

 

[Bosoxen]

Same reason as no PI calls. USC is mugging receivers.

Exactly. They've gotten away with some HUGE penalties.

 

[canderson]

Drew Kelson murdered Klatt many years ago on a legal hit. The person announcing this game is the bitter ghost of Joel Klatt.

Klatt is vehemently anti Texas.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Klatt is vehemently anti Texas.

Ok. So maybe not a legal hit ...

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Clemson gets a pick six. Lead 26-7 with 8:57 in the third.

 

[Bosoxen]

Ok. So maybe not a legal hit ...

It's definitely not legal now. Back then? Hard to say.

Either way, captaincoop has no idea what he's talking about.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Craig Bohl punts
4th & 6 from Oregon 38 down 29 points
4th & 1 from Oregon 37 down 36 points

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Is Buechle healthy? If he is, there needs to be a move very soon

 

[johnmd20]

Nice catch there.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Wow, amazing catch

 

[canderson]

He had time.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Say what you want about Ehlinger, he has no fear. Good god a head first dive wasn't smart but gutsy.

And then that block.

 

[WestMassExpat]

Setting em up for some big plays from Heard his future third series. 3D chess.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Expected a closer Clemson - Louisville game.

 

[Bosoxen]

Say what you want about Ehlinger, he has no fear. Good god a head first dive wasn't smart but gutsy.

And then that block.

What block? He completely whiffed. If he makes that block Foreman might still be running.

 

[WestMassExpat]

Haha, eat it Longhorns and sad color guy.

If anything, I'm put off how one of them keeps saying, "partner" to the other guy.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Clemson gets a pick six. Lead 26-7 with 8:57 in the third.

Now 33-7, he types with a shit-eating grin.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Is Buechle healthy? If he is, there needs to be a move very soon

No. Not cleared to play.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Expected a closer Clemson - Louisville game.

Me too. Was worried about this one considering how close the last two contests were.

BTW thinking about going to the BC game next Saturday. Want to take my son to the game. I assume that it's going to be a day game which would be perfect for him.

 

[Infield Infidel]

What block? He completely whiffed. If he makes that block Foreman might still be running.

Yeah you're right, I should have put an LOL there. He's comically aggressive.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Stanford looks like poop on a stick thus far

 

[Bosoxen]

No. Not cleared to play.

According to the talking heads, that's not exactly true. They said in the pregame he's essentially the emergency QB.

 

[canderson]

Herman had his guys ready to play. They're gonna lose but everyone knew that. He has showed me something.

Now for an offense ...

 

[Bosoxen]

Holy shit, that tackle by Hill. That's the kind of play that wins you ballgames. Win or lose, this defense gives us some hope for - I don't know, something.

 

[WestMassExpat]

Right play to go for it -- running out of superlatives for UT d.

 

[nolasoxfan]

40-14. Clemson hammering Louisville.

 

[Bosoxen]

Right play to go for it -- running out of superlatives for UT d.

I disagree. The Texas offense isn't doing anything. Going for it allowed Texas to flip field position. At this point, if I'm running USC, I play the rest of the game conservative af.

 

[Infield Infidel]

@Old Fart Tree why is Stanford playing at SDSU? I respect the move but man it's risky, SDSU is pretty solid

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

40-14. Clemson hammering Louisville.

Kelly Bryant has really looked solid. That last drive he made a sweet throw on the run to convert on third down. Tavien Feaster is a monster.

 

[Bosoxen]

For those of you keeping score at home, USC just got away with another block in the back. Luckily, this one was inconsequential.

 

[canderson]

These refs are all-in on SC.

 

[canderson]

Did Chris Warren die? I don't understand the offensive "gameplan" at all.

 

[soxhop411]

These refs are all-in on SC.

Sports talk here in LA always thinks the refs are out to get them (USC).

 

[Bosoxen]

And then they call that ticky tack shit on Duvernay. Come the fuck on.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

And then they call that ticky tack shit on Duvernay. Come the fuck on.

Meh, he might not of had it called if he didn't throw the guy in addition to a slight hold
Edit: wrong play, yes that was ticky tac

 

[WestMassExpat]

Every time I see the rugby kick I wonder when they're going to run it. Bad mental spots blocking that series.

 

[canderson]

I predicted a 52-17 loss. 14-10 after 3 feels almost like a win.

 

[canderson]

My eventual alma mater had a walkoff 60 yard flea flicker INT return for a TD win. Don't see that every day.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Expected a closer Clemson - Louisville game.

Lamar JAckson's chance of repeating as Heisman ended tonight. As did Lousiville's chance at the playoff. ACC is a one-team at most in playoff conference, it seems. even if clemson loses once from here I think they will get in.
Alabama - lock even with loss and not losing to dreg in SEC
Clemson - lock with a loss
Oklahoma - win over OSU gets them in even with loss
Big10 team/OSU/USC

 

[Bosoxen]

I predicted a 52-17 loss. 14-10 after 3 feels almost like a win.

Well, you had the right side of the equation just about correct.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Holy shit is that kid dumb

 

[WestMassExpat]

Great, another 1st from their own 1.
