Week 1 Other Games Thread

I think Arch Manning is going to win the Heisman this year. The only flaw I see in his game is he has trouble completing a forward pass.

That's the #1 draft pick to you! Lol

 

[FinnGopher]

When you have the GOAT () at QB, why call rutm on 4th and one? Is Limegrover the OC at Texas?

 

[GopherMenace]

Is it time to have a conversation about Sark being an overrated offensive mind?

 

[Nax5]

0/2 on tush pushes I've seen this weekend

No, Sanford is back lol

 

[GopherJack]

My question has probably been hashed and rehashed many times: But why don't teams do the halfback leap over the goaline when it's only inches to score? Back in the day, it was a standard play at the goal line. Has it been outlawed (too dangerous)? Is the tush push a better option? Someone please help me understand why you never see halfbacks leaping over the line (and goal line) for touchdowns anymore.

they showed Nebraska try when OSU stuff them. Yes they do it intermittently. imo the tush push at the college level is nowhere near as well executed. i mean hell, outside of philly, it's not all that much better even at the NFL level. i don't understand teams who don't run under center/power pro I coming under center for it like they do.

i want to try to be into this game, but my god its been boring. and i would gladly take our QB over either of these 2 guys from what i've seen so far

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

lol texas just grabbing smith everywhere he goes. i don't mind football like this, but osu is clearly better than texas but its letting them stay in it

SEC crew

 

[Pompous Elitist]

think all of Texas is vastly overrated this year. OSU D is good though

 

[upnorthkid]

so we gonna start talking about benching Arch yet?

 

[99Gopher]

Yeah..... They might have to place Arch's Heisman on hold after week 1.

 

[highwayman]

Sarkesian can’t get out of the way of his own ego.

 

[highwayman]

They announced that the day of his post surgery presser. Crackerjack reporting.

 

[stocker08]

Northwestern stinks. Purdue may not be the worst team in the league after all.

Also....Tennessee is looking awfully good.

 

[upnorthkid]

if this is truly #1 and #3, i feel a lot better about the gophers this year

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Let him burn.

Heard he went to the Manning Academy from age 10, has it between the ears, cool under scrutiny. The fourth will be interesting. Sink or swim.

I believe I saw OSU lost 12 starters to NFL, Texas 10.

Are these rankings based on transfers, recruiting, production, or advertising goals.

 

[upnorthkid]

lol awful missed illegal block below the waist on TX

We might have a better quarterback than either of these teams.

That said.....these are two of the elite defenses in the nation.

 

[salzie]

Nice catch by Tate

think your point 1 is the part that may matter the most

great attempt at the pick by OSU but that should get overturned

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

I just realized Texas is ranked #1 … not sure what for…

 

[stocker08]

Arch throws another interception pending review. Bad throw.

They've got the guy with the most endorsements.

 

[Gopher Mac]

Two quarterbacks making their first college start. One picked to be the eighteenth best quarterback in the big ten and one picked to win the Heisman. Which one would you take? You gotta like Drake's performance a little better. Preseason polls what a joke.

 

[upnorthkid]

is texas trying to run the clock out?

 

[GopherGrit]

No, Sanford is back lol

I thought you were serious for a second!

Wikipedia says: he's been coaching high school ball out in Colorado after he was not retained by Deon after 2022.

Incredible NIL resources will do that, I guess.

I remember not that long ago when Tennessee was solidly the Nebraska of the SEC.
