Games watched

[YoloinOhio]

I’m watching Purdue and Sparty and poking myself in the eyeballs to enhance the joy

 

Meanwhile, “Bye” just drove 90 yards for a TD vs tOSU

[CIrvine]

I'm watching Texas Tech vs. Iowa State right now.

[row_33]

Clemson gashed the Noles bad, watched the first half, switched to Wisky/NW for second half

 

And NW destroyed Wisky

 

 

 

[YoloinOhio]

Iowa’s punter just threw a TD pass to a defensive tackle, who made an over the shoulder catch.

on to week 9...

 

Saturday Noon:

 

Clemson and Wisconsin stomp cupcakes

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you were half right.

 

That Notre Dame-Northwestern game is looking very interesting now.

Wisconsin is bad. They were missing their starting QB and when it was announced the line actually moved in their favor

If Wisky can’t just run the ball 74 times up the gut with no opposition to speak of, they are totally *****

Sorta.... sad how most major conferences have the 3 top teams on one half duking it out for the right to win the conference title game 55-0

You missed a good one

 

Cold and rainy day.  Penn St played sloppy in the first half.  Punting team gave up two safeties (one on dropped snap/blocked kick and the other on a terrible snap that sailed out of the end zone). 

 

Iowa scored a touchdown on a 4th and goal trick play pass from their punter to a defensive lineman.

 

Trace McSorely injured his knee in the first half and Penn St played their backup QB.  Yet somehow they went to halftime tied at 17.

 

McSorely returned in the second half and had one of those beautiful McSorely TD runs in the 3rd.

 

Penn St was up 27-17 and looked like they were about to put it away but fumbled in the Red Zone.  Then on Penn St's next possession McSorely threw a pick six, cutting Penn St's lead to 27-24

 

Down 30--24, Iowa had it first and goal from inside 5 with about 3 minutes left.  Some confusion on the play call led an Iowa WR to just kind of stand there after the snap.  The ball sailed past him and right into the arms of a Penn St defender

 

Iowa got the ball back with a minute and a half and no timeouts but Penn St held

 

Penn St 30, Iowa 24

Georgia was too much for Florida, despite that very impressive goal line stand the Gators had in the 3rd quarter.

 

I wasn't used to watching a game in Jacksonville that did not require tarps.

 

Kentucky pulls off an unbelievable come from behind win against Missouri which now sets up a big game between Kentucky & Georgia next week.

 

Of course that SEC game will be overshadowed by Louisiana State-Alabama next week.

[YoloinOhio]

WR Tylan Wallace from Ok State looks like a big time prospect 

[KD in CA]

Since when can you fair catch a kickoff in the field of play and take the ball at the 25?   I don't think I've ever seen that before.

New rule this season.  Supposed to prevent head injuries on kickoffs

Yeah;  those up-and-down teams like N'Western, Pitt, Cuse always give ND trouble because those teams have some talent and are always sky high.  The last time a team came out flat against ND was probably sometime in the 1950s.

Based on rankings, Georgia @ Kentucky looks like a decent game.  But Kentucky is nowhere near as good as their record or rankings suggest.

 

Next week's schedule has a pair of blockbusters (Penn St @ Michigan and Alabama @ LSU) followed by a whole lotta "meh"

Georgia will more likely be heavily favored and rightfully so. Still, that is a big game, and the SEC is always tough. Lexington will be rocking.

 

Michigan-Penn State is big although not as big as it could have been.

 

Louisiana State-Alabama is off the charts. Should be a classic.

 

Let's not forget about Notre Dame-Northwestern. The Wildcats should not be taken lightly.

 

What has happened to the Pac-12? Washington losing to California? Oregon getting taken to the woodshed by Arizona? I did not picture Washington State & Utah as being the top teams in the conference.

Florida Vs. Georgia

 

used to be a great game.

 

Crazy how Florida has fallen off. All of the big Florida schools actually, weird since there is so much talent there.

Yes, although Florida looks to be on the right track. They played good, but Georgia pulled away in the 4th quarter.

 

Florida State hasn't recovered from that loss to Alabama from last year, and all Miami has going for them is that silly turnover chain.

 

Speaking of football teams that have "fallen off", when is Tennessee going to get it's act together?

Should have never gotten rid of Philip Fulmer, haven't been the same since. I haven't watched Tennessee in years.

 

Who's there coach now?

 

Glad to see a lot of Big Ten teams doing well, which is all that matters to me. Michigan looks to be the best this year so I'm rooting for them.  I have always liked Penn state, Ohio state, Michigan and Michigan State, Wisconsin , Iowa and Nebraska. Also Syracuse which was my childhood team.

OSU has the same deal. They are those teams’ super bowl every year. Then those up and down teams almost always crash and burn the following week.

Florida is a QB away from really competing in the SEC
