The Boise St-FSU game is general admission.

Also, I know they gotta make the decision early in the week, but right now in Jacksonville it's 87 and sunny.
They just moved it on Thursday, I had a feeling that was a bit premature.

Boise battling back. Only down 5.
Have doubled FSU in plays and possession time (in large part to how clinical the Noles were in first half. Ballgame inching toward the 4th.

Tony Eason's kid with a decent debut for Washington - 27-36 for 349 yards and four TDs. My WR binky, Aaron Fuller had five catches, 73 yards (the Huskies spread the ball out like the Patriots) and two scores. U Dub beats Eastern Washington 47-14.

Don't really know what the fuck we were doing taking a knee but damn it feels nice to win for a change.

When they made the switch, the storm wasn't even forecast to be in the area until Sunday.

Georgia State was 2-10 last year and is curb stomping Tennessee.

Sweet.
Georgia State has done a lot of great things for the city of Atlanta, one of which was buying Turner Field thereby saving it from a wrecking ball.

This win today made me so damn happy.


EDIT: I’ve been saying I’d do it for years but I need to make it to a game this year.

Oregon blowing a lot of things early, need to put this Auburn team away. Terrible dropped TD pass followed by missed FG followed by giving up two big plays on defense.

edit: two minutes later, touchdown Ducks

I respect staying aggressive and not sitting on a lead, but it’s stupid that USC is snapping the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock when they’re leading by 8 with less than 5 minutes to play.

Um why the fuck isn’t Auburn going for two?

They should lose on principle.
Are you familiar with our coach, Mr Gus Malzahn? He’s too busy calling the offense to pay attention to silly details like that. In previous years, he wasn’t calling the offense.

Epic collapse by Oregon. Add Bo Nix to the SEC QB's to watch this year. Him, Tua, Jake Fromm, and Joe Burrows are all really good.
You may not be watching him for long, if the OL isn’t any better than they were last year or in the first half.

In Oregon’s defense, it seems like they schemed their way to a solid first half offensively, then Auburn’s defensive coaches adjusted at halftime. It seemed like it was tough for that injury-decimated unit to do a whole lot from that point forward.

Basing this on the box score only, Jalen Hurts is having one hell of a game. Lincoln Reily is a monster.

Wow — 508 all-purpose yards, 6 TDs (3 rushing, 3 passing).

Could the Heisman go to a QB from the same school three years in a row? Or will Hurts’s success (if this weekend is a taste of what’s to come) be seen as a system thing, since Hurts was never in the Heisman discussion at Alabama?

“They heat will wear them down” said the experts.
It did, except it was FSU wearing down not Boise. FSU looked like a football team who was terribly under conditioned and out of shape. They ran out of gas in the fourth quarter. Trouble in Tallahassee, I'm afraid. Bye, bye Willie.
