NCAA Football 2015: Week 9 Discussion

It would really be easier for all of us if you listed GMT kickoff times.

For those who don't know, Baylor's starting QB is out for the season after hurting his neck Saturday in the monsoon and had surgery Sunday.

Their backup QB is a true freshman who was the No. 1 QB coming out of HS. He's played in blowouts and his numbers are crazy good but we'll see how much it impacts the Baylor offense going forward. Huge loss to a team that is arguably the best football team this season.

sachmoney · Oct 27, 2015

Their next 5 games are rough too. @KState, Oklahoma, @OK State, @TCU, Texas. I could easily see 2 losses in that, effectively taking them out of playoff contention. Texas and Oklahoma have a chance to play spoiler (funny thought, right?) to these Big XII undefeateds.

Greg29fan · Oct 29, 2015

UNC and Duke haven't both been ranked when they've played in football since 1939. Duke beats Miami on Saturday and that will change next Saturday.

Holy shit, that Oregon touchdown on 4th down at the end of regulation was pretty amazing.

That was one of the more ridiculous games I have ever watched... glad the Ducks won. Clearly, throughout the night (and history, for that matter)... the refs lost.

Buddy Teevens taking a page from the Andy Reid Handbook on Clock Management in losing 14-13 to Harvard. I guess he wanted to save those two timeouts for the Cornell game next week. Dartmouth defense deserved better. That one hurt.

Merkle's Boner · Oct 30, 2015

Just got back from the Harvard game. What an incredible comeback for the Crimson and what a gut punch for Dartmouth. Dartmouth controlled the game for 55 minutes.

According to two sources within the Columbus Police Department, Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while impaired (OVI) early Saturday morning near campus.
Barrett was arrested near High and Tompkins, just north of Campus after policed noticed the player attempt to avoid an OVI checkpoint in the area. Per CPD sources, Barrett was cooperative and blew into a breathalyzer, registering slightly over Ohio's legal limit of 0.08 blood-alcohol concentration.
The quarterback was released to his teammate, fellow quarterback Cardale Jones, who provided Barrett a ride home.

Bye week

RedOctober3829 · Oct 31, 2015

One-game suspension for him when the OSU department policy calls for a minimum 2-week suspension for underage DUI. But when you are important enough the rules don't apply. Typical.

canderson · Oct 31, 2015

Well they can say he is suspending today despite no game. OSU gonna OSU.

Without pay?

Of course not.

Deathofthebambino · Oct 31, 2015

I thought I heard the department policy of two weeks didn't apply because he was charged with a misdemeanor.

Anyway, could be a trap game here for Michigan. Running into a Minnesota team playing with some emotion after their coach resigned this week due to health issues.

canderson · Oct 31, 2015

Shitty Texas showed up tonight. This loss would crush any dreams of a bowl game.

The TCU game team cam to Ames. They look awful.

I don't see it, gap between these teams is too big. Defenses don't usually have bad games.

Senator Donut · Oct 31, 2015

19 posts sounds about right for this awful slate of games.

Bosoxen · Oct 31, 2015

Which makes the decision by the SEC to make aggy kick off at 11:00 and completely fucking their black uniform plan all the more hilarious.

Bosoxen · Oct 31, 2015

This Texas coaching staff is making it hard to defend them. I haven't seen a single adjustment. The team came out looking completely unprepared for what Iowa State would throw at them, yet we're steeped in yet another third quarter letdown with the team still looking clueless.

Dave Stapleton · Oct 31, 2015

Temple takes the lead against ND with 6 min left in the first half. This Temple team looks pretty good.

canderson · Oct 31, 2015

This is a despicable effort tonight. Did they even have a game plan?

Welp, this was clearly wrong. With Rudock concussed, Michigan is going to lose this game.

Two weeks to prepare. How on earth did we beat OU?

Stoops should be fired for losing to this team, no doubt.

They didn't have two weeks to prepare. That's not to excuse this pathetic excuse for a football game but they did play last week.

Bosoxen · Oct 31, 2015

No words. Getting shut out in Manhattan is one thing. Getting shut out - a year later, mind you - in Ames is unacceptable.

Time to Mo Vaughn · Oct 31, 2015

Duke Miami will, at the very least, be a fun ending.

Sorry. Irrational right now. Visions of losing to Cougar High by three touchdowns.

WayBackVazquez · Oct 31, 2015

Minnesota decided to go with emotion instead of passion there at the end.

Time to Mo Vaughn · Oct 31, 2015

Most amazing kickoff return ever in Duke/Miami?

Time to Mo Vaughn · Oct 31, 2015

If Miami doesn't come away with a win, this is complete horseshit.

tims4wins · Oct 31, 2015

He was down on the 26

No way. Ref had a perfect view and replay confirms he got the ball out.

Time to Mo Vaughn · Oct 31, 2015

And the game confirms. Suck it, Duke!

tims4wins · Oct 31, 2015

Bigger question how do they overturn a penalty? Shades of Gronk in Carolina

tims4wins · Oct 31, 2015

Did replay show a good, slow mo angle on the 26? I didn't see anything

Unlike Gronk in Carolina, by getting the call correct.

The ref announced the penalty. Then after review said it was from the side. He didnt signal a penalty then confer then correct it. He announced it. I have never seen that before.

PaulinMyrBch · Oct 31, 2015

Michigan, in case you're wondering, is even with the football gods. Unless the gods are pissed about messing with the traditional uni's, in which case they're fucked.

PaulinMyrBch · Oct 31, 2015

I'm assuming what you'll hear as an explanation (if it ever comes) is the penalty was picked up because the flagging ref was overruled by a ref with a better angle and that the flag was not reviewed on the replay, and that the only thing the replay reviewed was the laterals and the knee. The ref calling the others together before the announcement makes me think they reviewed the penalty on film, and had a meeting on field to give them the conference to overrule that without the tape.

But yeah, never seen that.

The Napkin · Oct 31, 2015

The Miami kid coming off the bench without his helmet on before the TD was scored should walk away very quietly and hope no one sees him

He looks clearly down on a still shot I have. Not sure how they review a penalty and not that?

Looks like both legs were down, as in knees and thighs.

Temple up 3 on Notre Dame. ND ball after kickoff on own 25 with 4:45 left.

canderson · Oct 31, 2015

ND marches fairly easily and scores a TD. Up 24-20 with 2:09 left.
