This Texas vs OU game is wild.

I had Oklahoma as an upset this week. They have rolled through their first five weeks.

Make it 10. Should have been 14 but Tua V2.0 missed a wide open TD.

LSU's defense might be historically bad. 

 

And Brian Kelly killed a kid.

Just as I post that, they get an INT !

What a braincramp ending to the 1st half by Maryland. Threw away 3 points. 10-10 at the half. 

[lordstanley]

Maryland receivers are weak. So many drops and misses. 17-17 midway through 3rd.

Looks like a good call. Sooners have taken control of this one.

[MIguy]

Not looking forward to Michigan traveling to Maryland.  They've got a damn good team there.  

[lordstanley]

Sideline interference penalty against Day, lol. Wipes out a 40 yard gain. 
 

Update: Ohio St TD on next play so didn’t matter. Still funny though. .

And of course the second I compliment them, they fall apart.  

[lordstanley]

Texas-Oklahoma tied with 6 minute to go. Great rivalry game. 

[MIguy]

Texas-Oklahoma is getting all the attention, but this LSU-Missouri game is really good as well.  

[MIguy]

That was way too easy for the Sooners.  

[lordstanley]

Classic. Oklahoma 34 Texas 30  final.

There is an epidemic of coaches not taking  sure points. And the thing is, it's sort of self-reinforcing because since they lost by 20, you can look back and justify yourself that 3 points didn't matter. Amirite?

And then in the final minute of the Alabama-A&M game Saban called for a pass that went for incomplete when he could have just taken 3 knees. But tonight’s GT-Miami is an all-time fail. Miami just had to kneel with 35 seconds to go, GT couldn’t stop the clock, instead Miami ran it and fumbled and GT went down and scored a long last-second TD.

Iowa had 0 receiving yards from their wideouts today.  Only two players caught a pass.  Their TE and RB.  They still beat Purdue.

And now USC, needing just a chip shot 25 yard FG to win in regulation, snaps it high and doesn’t even get the kick off. 28-28 into OT.

I remember when this happened between Wisconsin and Northwestern years ago. Wisconsin ran it instead of taking the knee, fumbled, Northwestern for the scoop and then a score on the next play for the win. Mario Cristobal is an absolute dunce for running a play that wasn't just a simple kneel down.

Here's the Wisconsin/Northwestern play for reference.

Bowling Green beat Georgia Tech at Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech beat Miami at Miami.

I’m pining for Miami at Bowling Green.  Somebody needs to make that happen.

The team that he may be referencing could be Indiana.  They recently bought out a 3 game series with Louisville and are rumored to be looking at FCS opponents.  I know some around here might think it’s Michigan, but they never schedule anyone of substance anyway, so they wouldn’t need to buy anyone out.
