Week 1 College Football Game Thread

[Deathofthebambino]

I think HRB is just making a prediction.  Game is on Saturday.

 

[sachmoney]

The Diacco era has started swimmingly. BYU up 14-0 on the Huskies at the Rent.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

QB for Western Kentucky, Brandon Doughty, has 359 yards and 3 td's at halftime vs. Bowling Green.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

414 yards and 4tds, after the 1st drive of the 3rd quarter.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

What the fuck I thought this game was Saturday.
 
Meanwhile, I'm cursing the daily Oklahoman for completely ignoring the Cowboys in their reporting.

Shit I should have been clear that this was only a prediction. Sorry bout that.

Thanks Death!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Doughty is up to 537 yards and 6tds.  They just started the fourth.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Villanova in field goal range with 15 seconds left in a tie game AT Syracuse.  Would be an absolutely horrible loss for Syracuse.  I believe they had a player suspended for throwing a punch too. 

 

[Deathofthebambino]

OMG, he missed a 25 yard field goal.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

He gets a field goal in overtime and the Cuse tie it up at 20.  Going to the 2nd overtime.

 

[sachmoney]

Happy Football Saturday, everyone!

 

[Senator Donut]

This is better than Christmas morning. And the games have already started!

 

[terrynever]

Penn State tight end Jesse James is an interesting player. 6-foot-7, 260, agile, good hands, catches the ball and blocks. He's not the athlete Gronk is but he's decent.

 

[terrynever]

Penn State leads 20-10 early in second half after Hackenberg hits long TD pass. He has thrown for career-high 355 yards so far. No running game. Far from over.

 

[twibnotes]

If PSU loses this game, that headset issue could be a pretty big story. Pretty big disadvantage to lose headset comm when the other team has it.

 

[canderson]

Christian Hackenberg has a little Favre in him.

 

[terrynever]

And maybe Franklin is a little too aggressive with his play-calling tendencies.

Phones they said aren't working either. Is it for UFC too or just PSU?

Think it's just psu

 

[twibnotes]

Christian Hackenberg has a little Favre in him.

True - though given his age, it's not surprising.

 

[canderson]

Wow UCF with a great go-ahead drive. That QB that didn't start is good.

Based on what the announcers are saying, I think he's playing over his head

 

[Hambone]

These announcers also said a Penn St field goal would put them up by 2 scores before realizing a touchdown with extra point is worth 7.

Said differently, announcers suck.

 

[Senator Donut]

Wow, Franklin is a brutal in-game coach. Leaving two timeouts on the board here is inexcusable.

 

[canderson]

PSU snatches victory in the jaws of defeat.

The porous o-line and weak secondary is going to be a real problem throughout the season.

Gotta think the no phone and no headset issue caused that.

Yeah, O'Leary did his part to screw it up too

Hey, it was the first game against what everyone acknowledges is a very, very good defense.  They might be a problem now, but they'll improve.

 

[mabrowndog]

Stone Cold Steve Austin is still the absolute shit. He's on GameDay down in Fort Worth and before the commercial break leading into his appearance he crushed two full beers together in his fists (opening them in the process), poured both into his mouth from on high with arms extended (with most of the contents soaking his shirt), and marched toward the stage after tossing the empties over his head into the crowd behind him.
 
And yes, I'm going to need an animated GIF of that sequence to complete my life.
 
EDIT - And now he's swigging brews with Lee Corso. Tremendous.

 

[mabrowndog]

The two signs on the left = Gold.

All true. I was hintng at depth a bit too.

Hackenberg threw for 452 yards. Ho hum.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Patrick immediately corrected himself. You have some high standards. Patrick and Cunningham are one of the tolerable tandems around.

 

[sachmoney]

First possession, Michigan marched down for the 7, despite the offensive line still looking suspect in the running game. Gardner was 4-4 for 49 yards on the drive. He connected with Funchess for the score.

And just like that a chop block on peppers

 

[sachmoney]

"Jumping the Shield" was just called. Frank Clark jumped over the shield in front of the punter and almost blocked the punt. Apparently being athletic is a penalty...
 
I get it. It's a safety issue.

What a bunch of BS. Never gets called and surely happens in most games

 

[twibnotes]

Funchess poised to have a nice season

 

[sachmoney]

Yeah, he's going to beast this year: https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/BwTPJ-OIIAAS2lS.mp4

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Not a good look for UCLA to be struggling at UVA, but whatever.

 

[mabrowndog]

Middies up 7-3 on tOSU as the ball hits the left pylon on a dive.
 
GO NAVY. KICK THE FUCK OUT OF THE BUCKEYES.
 
(sorry, Skrub)

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Not a good look for UCLA to be struggling at UVA, but whatever.

Defense is playing fine post-Barr, they're 3000 miles from home.  It's a top-5 conference team they're playing, not Georgia State.
 
the offense will get their legs under them soon.

 

[The Napkin]

It's uva. Georgia St might be a better team

 

[Old Fart Tree]

UVA won two games last year. All I'm saying is, if the Pac-12 wants to be this monster conference, you have to wax the cupcakes from other conferences.

 

[twibnotes]

It's uva. Georgia St might be a better team

UVA lacks a qb but has had some decent recruiting classes (two 5 stars last year, for instance). Defense isn't bad

 

[WayBackVazquez]

It'd be nice to never have to hear "football IQ" again.

I repeat. It's uva. They suck by definition

Hey, pipe down

(UVA class of 98)

Don't apologize for rooting for America....
 

It'd be nice to never have to hear "football IQ" again.

Especially from a Buckeye.
 
Hard to say which Devin has looked better. Gardner and Funchess have connected for three touchdowns. 

 

[The Napkin]

Like I said. It's uva. Georgia St might be a better team.
