Congrats to those of you who had a winning week... I said this week was stinky and I was right.
Penn State... even when they aren't good, they are still good. They did not have their best stuff against NW, but still put it on them methodically. Their bye is here and their toughest stretch is coming up.
Note from above.. 2 Northwestern defensive players were ejected for targeting (Igwebuike and Fisher), both will miss the 1st half of the game next week against Maryland
Iowa State... who'da thunk it? 3rd string QB, on the road. Wow. Ironman Lanning did it all too. Thanks for clearing a path for my TCU futures
Oklahoma... Where to begin? Defense? Offense? Coaching? 1 idea I have... Stick with 1 running back to be the man. Abdul Adams has started each of the last few games and had success then doesn't see the field again. His last 3 games.. 8/93, 11/164, 3/42. That's 13.6 yards/carry.
Beating Georgia is gonna take a lot of heart. I don't think Auburn has it. That is setting up to be the game of the year in SEC regular season.
Speaking of heart... How about Jacob Eason on his healing ankle diving on a fumble late in the 4th quarter with a 4 TD lead?
How about Florida Atlantic? I heard an interview on SiriusXM this week with Lane Kiffin... honestly thought he was laying in bed while talking on the phone. So casual, odd too.... talked more about Jalen Hurts than his own team. I guess his team didn't mind because they took care of business on the road and are developing well.
Iowa bounced back after their emotional letdown loss last week
Ohio State scored 62 and covered -30... Western Michigan scored 71 and didn't cover -7
Over 1300 yards in Buffalo, record amount of points. 19 Touchdowns... 11/11 on PAT's...
Florida may want to see if one of those kickers from WMU or Buffalo is available... more on this game later
My thoughts and prayers to UCF backers
Does Jim Harbaugh have eligibility left? He may be the only capable QB on the team
What happened to Western Kentucky?
UL-Lafayette had a good bye week, they learned how to play defense
Colorado State is ready to put a run together
Bryce Love was human for 3 quarters
Rashaad Penny.. 27/170/2 Average day. I guess the eye is alright
Just when I thought Arkansas had it coming together they implode on the road... or is South Carolina better than we think? Arkansas in for a hurting this week against what should be a pissed off Saban
UAB wins again
Tanner Lee has thrown 11 TD passes... 15 if count pick-6's
Kansas State is gonna ruin someones Big12 title game hopes
Miami/FSU didn't come down to a FG... shocking
Dogs won Saturday according to scoresandodds closing line... 27-24 with a few pushes and 10 SU wins.
Play of the day... Pitt @ Syracuse... 1 play, 4 penalties. Cuse ball, Pitt jumps offsides. Cuse chop blocks. Cuse QB throws INT, Pitt blocks in back on return, Cuse horsecollar on the tackle. Simply amazing.
Rant #1: Mark Dantonio and the clock. Of all the coaches in all the land, don't you think this guy would know the situation in this stadium in this game? Michigan 1 timeout, 1st & 10 MSU. MSU runs the ball... should have taken knee. Timeout UM at 1:33. 2nd & 12.. MSU DOES NOT take a knee, hands off and gets called for holding which stopped the clock. A knee on 2nd runs clock down to 53 seconds. Knee on 3rd down can run clock down to <13 seconds. At that point you can punt, give them 1 play. Instead Dantonio screwed himself and left them 34 seconds and it almost cost them had McDoom not dropped the easy catch.
Rant #2: Announcer Rant... LSU 1st down at 49, 4:32 left, Florida with 2 timeouts remaining. Gary Danielson says "You only want to give Florida one more possession". Umm Gary... maybe you wanna get 2 more first downs and end the game with ball. Just a thought. Danielson is fine in the booth, but these guys are getting older. Verne and Gary meant there was a big game. Just like Musberger in the last few years, he was slipping but you deal with it because they still give you that big game feeling. But sometimes they say things that just make you wanna bang your head against something.
That's all I remember for now...
