I just tuned in to the BYU ASU game, what the heck happened, thousands rushed the field and tore down the goalpost but there was 1 second left for a BYU Hail Mary and they had to get EVERYONE back into the seats 😆

One of the best games in the top 25 today. PSU is pretty talented and scrappy but they’re just that - not in the same tier as Oregon or OSU. Maybe not even Indiana. Probably 4th best in B1G while Gophers are 7-9, which is where you get a hard fought 1 point home loss.

I saw a graphic highlighting that PSU has beaten no one other than Illinois with more than 5 wins. They barely beat Bowling Green and USC. The Gophers are the “best” team they’ve faced this year outside OSU. can’t believe they are ranked #4. This could be the cheapest “Top 5” win for the Gophers...

He is above average. In Minnesota cultures that’s the blessing and the curse. Like Lake Wobegon kids, “above average” is the panacea. Anyway, what I’m saying is that the will never be fired in MN for averaging 6-8 wins, yet being way below .500 in trophy games overall and not sniffing conference...

Not out of the realm of expectations. If you look at it impartially 3 of the last 4 games were won by 1 score, essentially in the last minute for the most part. These were against average to below average teams - USC was highly ranked at the time but what a joke! - of which Rutgers was right...

Crazy game with crazy ending. McCord is an amazing passer. UNLV’s new starting QB was crazy good too.

I would only be in favor of kickoff offsides being reviewable in that case. The slippery slope may slow the game down wayyy too much, especially in the last 2 minutes when there are a lot of stoppages anyway. As imaging and AI tech get better the replay will be able to see more and more things...

For all the cameras and tech they have, why would they not have a “goal line” camera angle EXACTLY at the scrimmage line of the kick when they know it’s an onside? I suppose because the offside call is not reviewable. In that case is there one official exactly on the 35 whose only duty is to...

USC is beatable, they’re 2-2 and they were down 21-10 to Bucky at halftime. UCLA has got to be a sure W. Maryland is Maryland, even when they’re decent they are prone to up and down weeks. Illinois and Rutgers looking tough this year but with upstart teams one never knows what they’ll look...

Michigan is pretty mediocre. They are passing for under 100 yards a game, struggled with Fresno St for at least a half, got embarrassed by Texas at home, didn’t blow out Arkansas St., and should have lost to also-mediocre USC except for a superhuman individual effort by Mullings. They could...

A quick 4 point shift is interesting, as if someone knows something about injuries? Or tempering scoring expectations as Michigan is even worse at passing than Iowa. Imagine beating a ranked USC team with 32 yards passing. All 3 of their offensive TDs came off 40+ yard runs (the last one was 1...

Like the old guys at Orchestra Hall bolting for the aisles after the last downbeat and pulling their wives along to get to the parking ramp.

Wonder what Tom Osborne’s record was in 1 score games?

Those are two very impressively bad statistics. Not to be able to score, even a FG if you’re on offense first, in 8 OT games…and I had to do the math, it’s 8 years since beating a ranked team. It’s also 25 years since their last conference championship.

This year is probably the time to assess Bielema’s program building, his 4th year in Illinois which is starting out quite good so far. Northwestern’s very green staff did outcoach PJ last year and Braun won COY. So there is some objective evidence though it needs to be sustained.

Michigan is terrible with no QB, and may prove to be one of the biggest one year dropoffs for a national champ in a while (it’s not inconceivable they could struggle to bowl eligibility). Iowa is average with below average QB. Wisconsin is below average and lost their average QB. Gophs could...

Altmyer is a 4th year, Raiola a true frosh - the compliments are mostly how good Raiola looked for his level of experience.

They live and die by McCord. He played great 90% of the time but had a pick six and a bad INT that resulted directly in a FG, so 10 point swing. Despite that they should have won but for the horrible D called on the last 4th down - Cuse rushed 3 but left single coverage the entire side of the...

I mean, I didn’t even know Rhode Island had a college football team above DIII. I wouldn’t get too excited.

Must be talking about an MRI. An x ray of a hamstring is not going to show much.
