2016 College Football Week 3: In which Miami goes to Appalachia

Senator Donut · Sep 15, 2016

I joked during week one that Houston was going to be 10-0 when they played Louisville and that we should plan accordingly. I still think they're good, but I like Cincinnati's chances tonight. I especially like the points they're getting.

Cincy just took a 16-12 lead (a went for two and missed it) with 14:30 left. Houston's offense looks terrible.

And Boise and SDSU watch with baited breath.

Warning Track Speed · Sep 15, 2016

Houston stepped on the gas with two picks and three TDs here in the 4th. 33-16.

Edit: And a second straight pick six. This is going to look like a blowout but it was close for 50 minutes.

Some great games on tap tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Great slate of games this week. Some highlights:

Miami @ tiny App State (how did this happen?!)

"We’ll have more people not just at the game, but in the town of Boone, than maybe ever in the history of our city," App State athletic director Doug Gillin told SB Nation.

This is how a team like Miami arranges to visit a team like App State.

Do NOT sleep on App St. I bet that game will be competitive and if it does gets out of hand, it'll be late as Miami's depth wears them down.

The altitude will be a factor for Miami. Elevation of Boone is 3,333 feet.

Man, less than a mile shouldn't be too bad but each person reacts differently. My team got stomped there last weekend but no one complained postgame about altitude.

Considering Miami trains at an elevation of around 0, it will be a factor for them.

A co-worker of mine is a big tOSU guy. He said that tOSU sold out OU's basketball arena for a pep rally for either tonight or early tomorrow.

Yeah, I get that. So does the school I was referencing. And I know guys that are in the program. It didn't bother them.

Miami is only a 3.5 point favorite. That seems about right.

Hey, it looks like they're going to cover tonight. That's something. I guess.

Texas San Antonio with the early 11 point lead on Arizona St

mauf · Sep 16, 2016

Less than 10 minutes to go. Baylor leads 38-10, but needs another TD to cover the 33.5-point spread. This is what Friday night college football is all about!

This post encapsulates why college football sucks.

Arizona honoring the 75th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. They will wear these tonight against Hawaii.

Thanks for proving an actual answer there. Now, can you provide an article telling me why in the world Mississippi State is playing at UMass?

WayBackVazquez · Sep 17, 2016

Because it's a 2-for-1, with three near-guaranteed FBS wins.

This is true, read it yesterday. Crazy.

I live next to Lloyd Noble Center (site of the tOSU pep rally), and that parking lot is an RV village -- some OU, of course, but also many tOSU RVs. Across the street, on Chautauqua, "The Donald" himself will be visiting Barry Switzer's daughter's house (supposedly for a fundraiser, which is confusing because Barry has long been a Democrat). (It's the mansion right next to his.) Anyway, with the Secret Service closing down the roads near the Switzer compound, the ongoing construction in Norman, and the thousands of people converging on Norman, I am a prisoner in my own home today. I ran out to Wal-Mart this morning to stock up on provisions, but otherwise, I don't think I'm going out.

This Louisville/Free Shoes game is going to be nuts. Watch L'ville go up big and have to weather a huge FSU comeback.

Ale Xander · Sep 17, 2016

this one of the most interesting 12pm slates in a while with 3 great David v Goliath match ups
Miami App St
NDSU Iowa
And Fsu Louisville

It's not just Ohio state and Michigan v Purdue and Illinois anymore at noon

cgori · Sep 17, 2016

Small addendum to first post:

USC at (7) Stanford at 8pm on ABC

Kremlin Watcher · Sep 17, 2016

The Fighting Lamar Jacksons up 14-0 on the 'Noles in the first. This guy is amazing.

Seems to be unfolding, just as you predicted...

Is this guy an NFL prospect? He seems small.

Listed at 6'3", 205. Light, but not necessarily small.

Wow, that's much bigger than I had guessed. Light can obviously be worked on, especially since he's a year out. Anyway, he's a a hell of a lot of fun to watch right now.

Kremlin Watcher · Sep 17, 2016

I think he is surrounded by pretty big dudes on the line.

johnmd20 · Sep 17, 2016

Louisville making mincemeat of FSU right now.

luckiestman · Sep 17, 2016

Glad I was out and missed the first .5. This might be too much for the Noles to come back.

Louisville going Super Saiyan on FSU. Holy crap what a beatdown.

tims4wins · Sep 17, 2016

This is a trouncing

tims4wins · Sep 17, 2016

So fun

tims4wins · Sep 17, 2016

NDSU just scored to tie up Iowa... but they went for 2 and the lead and Iowa stopped it. 21-20 Hawks 3:40 left. So typical Iowa

Freddy Linn · Sep 17, 2016

What a run. Amazing.

johnmd20 · Sep 17, 2016

Just an obliteration.

Don't get that decision at all. But it looks like they'll get their chance.

tims4wins · Sep 17, 2016

NDSU deserves this

Kremlin Watcher · Sep 17, 2016

Ha ha. My 84-year old dad, a Minnesota grad, is very happy now. As he says, "Who in the hell likes corn?"

tims4wins · Sep 17, 2016

Justice for NDSU. My wife is a Hawkeye so I kinda root for them but the Bison earned this. 231 yards against an FCS team is baaaad
