NCAA Football 2015: Week 3 Discussion

Yes. Hunter Renfrow first career TD. Good friend of my sons. So cool. Walk on last year. Got a scholly a few weeks ago. Second on depth chart. Real good kid.

Senator Donut · Sep 18, 2015

Holy cow, Steve Addazio is a madman.

Interesting to see how good each team really is. Neither team has played a quality opponent yet.

ifmanis5 · Sep 18, 2015

Welp. Looking good for FSU.

Luis Taint · Sep 18, 2015

FSU is giving BC every opportunity, and BC continues to BC.

ifmanis5 · Sep 18, 2015

And now we're down a QB.

ifmanis5 · Sep 18, 2015

Defense has done a nice job but the offense just can't generate a big play.

Tangled Up In Red · Sep 19, 2015

Boise's starting QB gets injured. JC transfer (Tommy Stuart) backup fills in admirably... but in the 2nd half, they burn freshman Brett Rypien's redshirt. And he looks sharp.
Looks like it could be four years of Mark's nephew at the helm. The lackluster Finley era over after 2+ games.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

All world td catch by Michigan State WR, Burbridge. One of the best you'll see all year. Initially ruled incomplete, but overturned, because frankly, I don't think the refs believed he could have made that catch and kept his foot down.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Holy shit, anyone watching this Oklahoma/Tulsa game? Oklahoma had a 3 score lead, and then fumbled twice, both times leading to long touchdown drives by Tulsa. The 2nd one made the score 31-17, Sooners with 11 seconds left in the half. Then Tulsa kicks off and they kick a designed line drive into the up man who wasn't ready for it, and they recover it, then a hail mary touchdown on the last play and all of a sudden, it's 31-24. Unfuckingreal. The teams have almost 800 yards of offense in the first half.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Some first half stats from the Sooners game:

OK QB, Mayfield has 316 yards passing and 2tds, and he's rushed 7 times for 69 yards and 2td's.
Tulsa, QB, Evans has 274 passing and 3td's.
Tulsa RB, Zack Langer has 19 carries for 114 yards
Tulsa WR, Garrett has 11 catches for 156 yards and 1td
Oklahoma WR, Sheperd has 5 catches for 112 yards.

And it's HALFTIME folks.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

UCONN down 3 with 3 minutes to go, and driving down the field for the win. Currently 2nd and 10 around the Missouri 30. UCONN was a 23.5 point underdog coming in.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

UCONN passing up the 42 yard field goal for the tie, and going for it on 4th and 4.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Maybe not. UCONN takes a timeout. Still don't know if they are going to kick it or go for it. They have a freshman kicker that already missed one today from 49. Might be asking a lot from about 43 on the road.

Dan Murfman · Sep 19, 2015

Stupid playcall

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Uggh, they try a fake field goal, and MIssouri had it covered easily, picked it off.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

How can they call the kicker with an illegal block on the kicking team when he was just trying to make the tackle?

PC Drunken Friar · Sep 19, 2015

That was stupid. Also, how can the defense get called for a low block?

Dan Murfman · Sep 19, 2015

It was on the return after the int.

Dan Murfman said:

Yeah, but it was called on the kicker when he was making the tackle, not on MIssouri. When the guy who picked it off was running down the sideline, he had a convoy in front of him and just the kicker to beat. The kicker basically ran up and cut blocked the guy in front of the runner taking him and the runner out, and they called the kicker for an illegal low block. The receiving team can't block someone below the waist on a return, but I didn't know they could call the defense for it while making a tackle. It made no sense.

Dan Murfman · Sep 19, 2015

i was throwing things I assumed it was on Missouri. Not that it matters but I will ask how is that a penalty. They actually called it on Boyle. The guy who made the pass and the tackle.

McBride11 · Sep 19, 2015

Tiger Bowl time! With the GT ND game happening at the same time. Good couple hours comin up.

shawnrbu · Sep 19, 2015

I don't think you can go low on a blocker on a return. Reminded me a little of the Seahawks/Steelers Super Bowl following the Hasselbeck INT when Matt was called for a penalty going low on the return.

shawnrbu · Sep 19, 2015

What a brutal timeout by Syracuse. CMU was unorganized following a sack and letting the clock bleed. Syracuse lets them off the hook and calls timeout with 15 seconds to go. CMU gets settled and throws a 27 yard TD pass. Headed to OT in the Carrier Dome.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Shawn, if that's the case, then you're right. Like I said, he basically dove at the legs of the blocker who was in front of the runner, taking them both out. Frankly, it was literally the only thing he was going to be able to do to stop the touchdown, so in that sense, it was a good penalty.

Did Oregon bench QB, Vernon Adams, or is he out with an injury? Just noticed backup, Jeff Lockie is playing the first half.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Ohio State already down 7-0, and Elliott fumbles it on 4th and short, Northern Illinois ball on their own 40 or so.

canderson · Sep 19, 2015

ND's defense looks really good after 1 vs the option.

McBride11 · Sep 19, 2015

LSU up 14-0 after 1 and is dominating. Now just picked picked off Aub at midfield to start the second. Game could be over soon.

And as I type, the LSU QB gets their TE Jeter killed on a crossing route that was high and led the TE into a safety. Ouch.

tims4wins · Sep 19, 2015

The Bama game doesn't kick off till 9:15 ET? Holy fuck is that crowd gonna be rowdy

soxhop411 · Sep 19, 2015

Mike Patrick arguing against the numbers that say go for it on 4th and short:

"These are numbers compiled by guys who wear socks with flip flops."

Do they really have to have the audio of the guy moaning after his knee is busted?

And there was a 5s camera shot of a horrifying scream.

That was awful all the way around.

McBride11 · Sep 19, 2015

See ya next year 23. Blown knee while celebrating a pass breakup.

RedOctober3829 · Sep 19, 2015

Tranquill pulled a Bill Gramatica. That is an embarrassing way to get hurt.

That scream was awful.

Lesson for the kids: when you make a play, give a little fist pump and move on to the next one.

Also, can we now classify the full-body-turn-around-high-five as one of the worst things to come along since the wave?

Dollar · Sep 19, 2015

Leonard Fournette is unbelievable. He is just running over Auburn defenders like they're Pop Warner players.

Valpo should be fined severely and banned from postseason for scheduling that fake school.

Holy crap.

http://www.npr.org/2014/11/05/361676946/charlottes-college-of-faith-lacks-a-campus-but-not-a-football-team

Normally, colleges create their football teams. But now we have the story of a football coach who created a college. It's an online school called College of Faith in Charlotte, N.C.
...
The closest thing it has to a campus is a small room in a rundown church. Students plop their football pads in a corner when they come here to go over Bible lessons and game tape. The games can be tough to watch. The football team hasn't scored a single point against another four-year college. It was held to negative 100 total yards in a game this season, an NCAA record.
...
The degrees are not accredited. College of Faith Charlotte has a religious exemption that allows it to operate without a state license.

canderson · Sep 19, 2015

Its basketball team practices in a gym in the head coach's back yard.

By the way, the NCAA is no longer counting these games. Can't believe they got an FCS school to play them.

McBride11 · Sep 19, 2015

Wow is right. This seems like a huge scam. What is the 500 player fee going to? Esp if one game is worth 'thousands'?

I found this long form article on reddit about this team. Apparently their conference consists of the CoF and their rival University of Faith. Same scheme run out of Florida.

BTW Ohio State looks awful. They'll win but really have struggled against NIU.

PC Drunken Friar · Sep 19, 2015

Fumble by OSU. NIU has the ball....how did the refs call that runner down?

Deathofthebambino · Sep 19, 2015

Holy crap. OSU fumble. Northern Illinois is going to get the ball, down 7 with around four minutes to go.

I was going to say the same thing in my post. I'm glad the rule was changed and now it's allowed to be reviewed, but that should never, ever have gone to review. That was such a clear fumble that the refs who missed it should have their stripes taken away.

canderson · Sep 19, 2015

5th OSU turnover. NIU ball, down 7, 4:05 left.

Doubt they score but they were 34.5 point underdogs.
