2016 College Football Week 1: The best opening weekend in history

[mauf]

I like how the Big XII ad didn't even allude to academics.

 

[mauf]

Don't like the run call there.

 

[canderson]

I'd like to remind everyone Texas scored 3 points last year vs ND.

 

[canderson]

Good start to the half .....

 

[RedOctober3829]

This Texas team is legitimate. Quality QB play to go with these athletes and defense.

All that was needed was to give Strong time to build it and get rid of Mack's crap.

 

[MuzzyField]

Dude is having a moment.

 

[canderson]

Great effort there, defense.

 

[Senator Donut]

Did they just say Big 12 officiating crew? That doesn't seem right.

ACC on-field officials, Big 12 replay officials

 

[Senator Donut]

Kizer rolls into the end zone. If we see Zaire again tonight, I'm burning my diploma.

 

[JCizzle]

Why Kelly was rolling out Zaire at all is beyond me. Kizer is clearly the superior QB (at least tonight).

 

[mauf]

ND getting wise, stacking the LOS and daring Swoopes to throw.

 

[canderson]

Oh fuck me

 

[Ale Xander]

Why why why

 

[johnmd20]

Give a sucker an even break. Go Irish. Let's finish.

 

[mauf]

Shitty play calling by ND here.

Edit: Hated the two read options. Kelly's lucky his guys were able to manufacture something on 3rd down when the play broke down.

 

[canderson]

Texas' secondary is brutal.

ND with all momentum with 14 points on about 1:30. F me,

 

[canderson]

Texas is in serious trouble.

 

[OCST]

This is quite an entertaining game.

 

[Senator Donut]

This is great.


ND is really putting effort into making the read player commit on the zone read.

 

[canderson]

ND is just thrashing the defense, they have no shot at stopping them.

 

[mauf]

This is great.


ND is really putting effort into making the read player commit on the zone read.

It's not as effective in the red zone, though -- too many defenders within spitting distance of the line of scrimmage who can make s play on whoever carries the ball.

 

[canderson]

Tori probably doesn't know where he is at this moment.

FG blocked!

 

[Ale Xander]

Huuuuuge

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

God this game is fucking nuts.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tori probably doesn't know where he is at this moment.

FG blocked!

Sr or jr?

 

[mauf]

Tori probably doesn't know where he is at this moment.

I thought at first he was trying to draw the flag, but no, he seemed to be hurt.

I'm not sure what the college rule is, but that's a flag in the NFL.

 

[canderson]

Defender led with shoulder, I don't think that should ever be targeting.

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Per TV announcers the replay crew had discretion to review that play for targeting. It either was not reviewed, it was reviewed and held up as called on field.

Big 12 replay crew...hmmmm.

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Defender led with shoulder, I don't think that should ever be targeting.

If that's the rule, I agree. Looks like he lead with shoulder.

 

[canderson]

FUCKING TACKLE GODDAMNIT

 

[canderson]

Great timing for a hold. Sweet.

 

[canderson]

And that hood leads to a TD, first deficit of game.

Texas' defense is not good.

 

[Senator Donut]

And that hood leads to a TD, first deficit of game.

Texas' defense is not good.

Second, 7-0

 

[LeftyTG]

And that hood leads to a TD, first deficit of game.

Texas' defense is not good.

ND was up 7-0.

Charlie needs to loosen the reigns. Gonna have to let the freshman throw.

 

[DaveGallagher]

And that hood leads to a TD, first deficit of game.

Texas' defense is not good.

They've been getting torched in the 2nd half, but what offense would you expect to match ND from the Big 12?

 

[LeftyTG]

* double post

OK State, Baylor, maybe even Texas Tech

 

[DaveGallagher]

OK State, Baylor, maybe even Texas Tech

I could see them going 2-1 in those games. Let's see what this kid is made of.

Not very good.

 

[canderson]

Things have gone south fasssssssst.

 

[BigMike]

Why on earth is ND challenging this

 

[twibnotes]

If I were Kelly, i'd be pissed at the player for saying he caught it

Of course, if I were Kelly, I'd be pissed all the time

 

[canderson]

FOREMAN!!!!!!!

 

[DaveGallagher]

Good game here

 

[canderson]

But they left too much time for ND fuck!

 

[DJnVa]

That could be the worst challenge I've ever seen. And if they run out of time on this next drive...

 

[johnmd20]

OMG.

 

[DJnVa]

OMG

 

[LeftyTG]

whoaaaaaaaaa
