You should re-name LSU/Texas the Tom Herman Bowl.

I have very long odds on Joe Burrow winning the Heisman. Go Tigers!

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Boise State facing Marshall at home tonight without starting Right Tackle, John Ojukwu (from Boise High!) and Safety DeAndre Pierce due to injuries.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Not stoked about Stanford’s chances. I like the under there.

 

[canderson]

I started drinking at 10 am. Hook ‘em.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Maryland with 87 yards through the air in the first 7 minutes... up 14-0 on #21 Syracuse.

 

[canderson]

Fighting Harbaughs on the struggleuggle bus midway through the 2nd.

 

[RedOctober3829]

28-7 in College Park. MD trying to ruin College GameDay at Syracuse next week.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Justin Fields and Ohio State up 21-0 on Luke Fickell and Cincinnati. Dobbs just ran for a 60 yard TD.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

35-13

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

35-13

42-13 with a minute to the half

 

[The Needler]

Fighting Harbaughs on the struggleuggle bus midway through the 2nd.

Michigan stinks. Their o-line is getting absolutely dominated.

 

[canderson]

Man Syracuse getting exposed.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Army’s last TD drive. 11 plays, 11 rushes, 40 yards.

 

[DJnVa]

So, uh, Army driving again, up 14-7.

And Va Tech about to go up 24-3 on ODU, getting revenge for last season's massive upset.

 

[AMS25]

Army’s last TD drive. 11 plays, 11 rushes, 40 yards.

Army is tough to beat. Most teams aren't used to defending against the Black Knights' triple option offense. I remember how OU barely beat them last year in overtime.

 

[twibnotes]

I’m a tortured mich alum. I want to fire Harbaugh but I have no idea where you go from there.


This is pitiful, sloppy football. Shameful

They did have a defensive touchdown incorrectly called back. Really killed the momentum that they were building.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Horrible horrible throw there.

 

[DJnVa]

And Army tries to throw---picked off. Yeesh.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Harbaugh goes for it on 4th & 2 in the red zone, blown up run play. such a bad coach.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Targeting is going to be a disaster this season

 

[mauf]

4 down territory

 

[RedOctober3829]

Gotta pass the ball here, get a 1st down, then spike it.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

No way this dude can hit from 50

 

[nayrbrey]

Had the distance but a bit to the right.

 

[shawnrbu]

Someone pulled a Dee Ford.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Someone pulled a Dee Ford.

They could've told him

 

[johnmd20]

TD Army. Strong.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Michigan just can’t get over the top with Harbaugh, but not over yet.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

I'm guessing UM scores but gets tackled on the 1 going for 2.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Army has zero passing game. Harbaugh should be fired regardless of how this game ends.

 

[The Needler]

Army has zero passing game.

They had zero passing game last year, either. But they went 11-2, one of those losses being to a playoff team. Army is legit.

 

[johnmd20]

That's a tough loss for Army.

 

[The Napkin]

pretty sure they missed a fairly blatant hold on Michigan's 3rd down pass in the first OT. Would have made it 3rd and really long. Alas...

 

[mauf]

I saw that too. But complaining about uncalled O-holding is like complaining about uncalled traveling in the NBA.

That was a serious tease.

 

[JCizzle]

What a great game. Hopefully the Clemson and LSU games also deliver.

 

[Ale Xander]

Beautiful game in Boulder

 

[johnmd20]

Tremendous INT by Colorado. Oh, he was down.

 

[Ale Xander]

wow, bad 50-50 decision, Buffaloes pick, brings it back past 50, 8 seconds left.
Review for being down earlier

Nope, down.

Looks like OT

 

[canderson]

Scott Frost not making many friends in Lincoln, methinks.

 

[Ale Xander]

They make everything bigger in Texas, including drops.

 

[canderson]

They make everything bigger in Texas, including drops.

I’m quite drunk and said mean things to my television

 

[canderson]

Jesus Christ

 

[Ale Xander]

Going laterally on LSU D on 4th and goal?

DUMBBBBBBBBB

 

[Plantiers Wart]

Geaux Tigers!!

Damn the D is tough up front.

 

[Ale Xander]

Without turnovers, first to 10 may win this one.

 

[Ale Xander]

Joe burrows his way to a first down

 

[canderson]

That was pretty
