Week 10 College Football Gamethread
- Thread starter Infield Infidel
- Start date
Louisville blew a goalline scoring situation early. But their defense has been legit on FSU's two first drives.
My TV is dead for a couple of days so I have to watch this on my computer and the only feed I can get is the ESPN Skycam feed (the camera on the wires). No commentary, no graphics, stadium sound only.
It's a pretty cool way to watch a football game. I recommend trying it.

Are you able to see those ugly uniforms Louisville is wearing?
I can't believe I'm forced to root for a Petrino coached team again.

The Louisville defense is probably the best defense that FSU will face all season, and are one of the top defenses in the country. They are the real deal, and if their offense moves the ball the way they have been, this could actually get ugly for FSU pretty quickly. Don't be surprised. There is a reason that FSU was only giving 4 points tonight.
Keep an eye on Louisville defensive back, Gerod Holliman. He is #1 in the FBS with 8 interceptions through 8 games, including two games with multiple picks. He's only a sophomore. Michael Dyer is the same Michael Dyer that rushed for 1,000 yards as a freshman and sophomore at Auburn.

Devante Parker, the WR for Louisville, who already has 3 catches for 91 yards, just came back last week after missing the first 6 games. This Louisville team is not the same team they were at the beginning of the year when they lost to Virginia (their other loss was to Clemson three weeks ago). With Parker and Dyer healthy, their offense is now pretty good, and with that defense, they are dangerous and with a capital DANGER.
Think of it as Charlie Strong's former team. Much better association.absintheofmalaise said:
Wow. 14-0.
FSU cannot stop the run right now. Dyer has around 90 yards on the ground already. He's ripping off 7, 8, 9 yards every play.
TD, Louisville. 21-0. They've been in the red zone four times already, and got stuffed on fourth down the first time. Otherwise, it would be 28-0. FSU has no answer, and I'm not sure the Seminoles can even score 21 against this defense.
The Skycam feed was focusing on the D line in between plays this whole drive. They are completely gassed.
FSU fumbles at the goal line, goes into the end zone and recover it themselves for the touchdown.
Lol. The ESPN Skycam feed is turned on for the halftime proceedings from the stadium. Some dud just won $500 throwing a football somewhere.
Now the band is on. Yawn.

That was an amazing play, but I don't understand blitzing on 3rd and 10. Keep it in front of you.
Good drive to Louisville to retake the lead. Hopefully the can hold on, FSU has shaky as hell defense.
Another first down after a 3rd and 10 blitz. They had a good rush without blitzing the play before
Ugh, passing on 3rd and 2 & 4th and 2. If you can't get 2 yards on 2 run plays, why are you even playing football?

I didn't hear anyone of note think that FSU was going to cover.
Edit: I'm sure I will be proven wrong, but a lot of the guys I heard L-O-V-E-D Louisville.
Pretty good win for FSU here. Down 21-0 against a very good defense, on the road, and as always, the Seminoles find a way to win.
I just love Gerod Holliman though. 2 more interceptions today, 10 on the season now. I think they beat Notre Dame in a couple of weeks.

A friend of mine (and former Tree) designed them. And I've told him countless times how fucking hideous they are.
Actually, anytime you see that fucked up shit on TV, it's usually my friend's doing. Good God, are they ever ghastly. But as he points out, they're not designed to appeal to me. They're designed to appeal to recruits.
I went last year. Had hotel rooms by the beach and downtown, which were both used both nights (don't ask). It was a disaster. You'll have more fun than I did (don't ask), but I still had an awesome time.
Bring a bottle of fireball and a bunch of beer. Wander aimlessly and you'll have fun. If you want more details or specifics then PM me or post here and I'll jump in where I can.

They codified the rule this year that the numbers "must clearly contrast with the jersey", so official can tell who committed a penalty (especially for ejections). The penalty is a charged timeout per quarter, but Louisville wasn't penalized

They were available for cheap last year, but neither team was living up to fan expectations and both were coming off losses. Anyway I went to the game for about 10 minutes in really expensive seats before heading to the bar at one of the hotels (don't ask), but my buddy had an awesome time wandering with whatever remained for our 30 rack and a bottle of fireball. Guess he made many a friend before passing out in his car.
Maryland's captains refused to shake hands with Penn State's at the coin flip and there was also some kind of dust up pre-game. Maryland had to kick off from the 20, so they were given 15 for something. Not sure which it was for, but Ficken kicked a 47-yd FG on the ensuing drive so it had an impact.
Yards: Temple 30, ECU 119
Points: Temple 14, ECU 0
Temple scored on a 63 yard fumble return and a 1 yrd TD run after another fumble
edit- and ECU's punter drops a snap and couldn't get a punt off. Temple ball in ECU territory
