1st half thread is unlocked now.

Beautiful day in OP, NY.

Anyone have the reddit link for the game?

First play of game; Shady run through A gap, gain of zero yards.

Shady +1 through an A gap.

It will be 3rd and 7. 5 yard completion to Zay Jones, tackled 1yard short of first down marker.

You're dealing with concussion related symptoms, and those vary greatly from person to person in duration and intensity, based on the hit itself, # of past hits, frequency of hits, and God knows what else. Some guys get dinged and they are dizzy for a week and have to sit still in a dark room to avoid the dizziness. Other guys are OK and back to normal in a short period of time.

It's amazing to me how a relatively small pool of coaching names keeps getting regurgitated over and over around the league. They just move from town to town to town.

Anyone still watching T.T. and U.OK? Exciting stuff! Texas Tech just scored, went for 2 points to tie; picked off in end zone, Sooner runs the ball like 105 yards for 2 points going the other way!

It might be a question mark for some. For me, it's more like an exclamation point. As in an emphatic, crystal clear, exclamatory sentence which says "I don't know what the F. I am doing!"

There's already a thread on this! And yes, I would!

That approach isn't going to work straight up. When was the last time you saw a team play lights out D, pound the rock, and beat New England 13-10? It doesn't happen! You gotta be able to run with the big dogs and outscore the teams that score at will.

Alabama has pro quality talent all over the field. Defensive backfield, WR corps, defensive line to name a few.

I agree with him that the Big 10 is almost undervalued as a competitive division. Top to bottom, it's one of the toughest divisions in the country and it's been that way for many years. I'm not sure how to devise a perfect ranking system.

Very odd set of circumstances, no doubt.

I don't think Allen is close to being ready to go and he shouldn't go... But your stance on Anderson is interesting. I think he could be suffering from concussion like symptoms, but with everyone injured, you don't really know what the deal is. It's an opportunity for them to play games with the roster if they want to..including delaying Allen's return beyond when he might be able to return.

I don't know. Maybe Clemson? LSU is outclassed all over the field.

Been watching that one too, and Oregon as well. I love Herbert. Augie, you were 41 minutes ahead of me with this thought. I swear to God LSU is not going to get a point.

And Incognito wasn't "lost unexpectedly". They were dicking him around for a while and seemingly preparing to move on from him long before they actually did, despite having no plan in place for replacing him.

A key to the game will be how long Peterman can go without throwing a pick. If he can get some playing time under his belt without a TO, he might build some confidence and have an OK game. If he throws a pick early, it could snowball into an ugly situation IMO.

They did a nice job of conserving the clock and getting the ball right back to Alabama.

Hey! They caught the spiking in the end zone. Good.

Oh dear God. Lucky that wasn't a safety. And now they'll be punting from the end line in the end zone!

That INT is like a long punt and now LSU is going to be way backed up. Maybe they can put together a 97 yard drive.

Oh yes, it's as clear as mud! At least the director is doing a good job of finding the attractive women in the crowd. "LSU survives the first quarter." Hopefully they can make it a game.
