Saturday Football Thread 9/4

Samford with a first down on the first possession...there we go.

Florida State is fast...not that we didn't know this.

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 12:07 PM EDT reply actions

Florida St is for real…and Christian Ponder is good. They should win the Atlantic

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions

Wow the Post-Tim Tebow era is not starting well. Florida will still win this game because Miami sucks but Florida is killing themselves with those turnovers

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 12:37 PM EDT reply actions

Miami went 1-11 last year

Penn State down 7-6 on an 80 yard TD run against Youngstown State

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 12:47 PM EDT reply actions

Pick 6...Florida up 7-3

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 12:48 PM EDT reply actions

Is florida that bad? Did they not practice? I’ll be surprised if they are in the top 25 at the end of the year unless this is just an extreme anomaly.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 12:52 PM EDT reply actions

They're looking better now...decent defense.

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 12:55 PM EDT reply actions

yeah just need to shake off the rust. They still won’t be a top 10. Probably top 25 just because they are florida.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions

Miami will win more than 1 game this year I think

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 1:00 PM EDT reply actions

Any idea if the Duke game will be on ESPN3 next week? I think the Raycom games were on last year…

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:05 PM EDT reply actions

Hmm I'm not sure I'm pretty sure they are.

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 1:09 PM EDT up reply actions

Hope so…should be a good game this year.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Weber St with an intereption on first play vs BC

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:07 PM EDT reply actions

SC State tries a onside kick against GT…fail

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:08 PM EDT reply actions

TD GT

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions

Nesbitt is good

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 1:10 PM EDT reply actions

indeed

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:14 PM EDT up reply actions

Well he's good at running, his arm leaves a lot to be desired

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 1:16 PM EDT reply actions

Tech's D is a bit porous at this point

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 1:17 PM EDT reply actions

And most of these games are pretty ugly now…Illinois-Missouri is the only close game and that’s about as un-interesting a game as I can think of.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 1:57 PM EDT reply actions

And back from running a couple of errands, about to settle back in on some football with some wings

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 2:12 PM EDT reply actions

Florida looks poor today. Miami killed themselves with a few penalties or this game could be much closer.

The Mikan Drill

by JoshuaR on Sep 4, 2010 2:51 PM EDT reply actions

Their starting RB got ejected for throwing a punch in the second quarter too

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 3:08 PM EDT reply actions

Got Notre Dame-Purdue coming up at 3:30

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 3:21 PM EDT reply actions

Clemson up 7-0 early

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 3:42 PM EDT reply actions

The ref got rocked on that Clemson touchdown run.

by Robert Reinhard on Sep 4, 2010 3:56 PM EDT reply actions

Michigan up 7-0 early. Huge year for Rich-Rod. I think being on the hot seat will motivate him all year, and Michigan will make a bowl this year.

by Robert Reinhard on Sep 4, 2010 3:58 PM EDT reply actions

Michigan is going to take UConn to poundtown

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 4:01 PM EDT reply actions

Looks that way

The Mikan Drill

by JoshuaR on Sep 4, 2010 4:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Clemson is not playing that well. Hopefully the trend continues all season.

by Robert Reinhard on Sep 4, 2010 4:27 PM EDT reply actions

Nice punt there though…Clemson with 4th down from their own 20, turned to NT having it on their own 10

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 4:34 PM EDT reply actions

Clemson is having a rough game so far....and score as I was typing that

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 4:47 PM EDT reply actions

North Texas is better than a lot of the cupcakes the ACC is playing this week but Clempsun doesn’t look good. Parker looks off and hasn’t gotten any help. Big play from the Mean Green to get in Clempsun territory

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 4:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Is NT that good? They've been poor lately. They were good a few years ago when they had all those rushers

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:02 PM EDT reply actions

No, but they are better than Samford, Elon, Presbyterian, SC State. Maybe about same level as Weber St

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 5:08 PM EDT up reply actions

Point taken

There can’t be many teams worse than Presby out there

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions

Also Oregon is up on New Mexico 59-0 at halftime....

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:19 PM EDT reply actions

That’s just nasty. Oregon is for real.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 5:22 PM EDT up reply actions

NM has a linebacker named Messina who led the nation in tackles last year

other than that they are God awful.

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions

What's more surprising?

Texas 24-Rice 10 or WVU 10-Coastal Carolina 0.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 5:23 PM EDT reply actions

both at half (3rd just started)

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 5:23 PM EDT up reply actions

WVU 17-CCarolina 0

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 5:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Texas/Rice I'd say...both are about right for this stage, but normally Texas blows teams out

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:28 PM EDT reply actions

I'm pumped for the TCU and LSU games tonight

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:31 PM EDT reply actions

Oregon is driving again...

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 5:53 PM EDT reply actions

Oregon driving again up 65-0...they've scored on 11 of their 13 possessions

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:13 PM EDT reply actions

Well 11 of 14...NM stopped them...sort of

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:20 PM EDT reply actions

Minor victory :UMKC

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions

Oregon driving again...

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:31 PM EDT reply actions

72-0...I'm embarrassed for the state of New Mexico

State and Virginia locked in a bloodthirsty battle with powerhouses Richmond and Western Carolina

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:37 PM EDT reply actions

72-0 final....wow

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:42 PM EDT reply actions

Kansas State up 17-16 with 2 minutes left against UCLA and about to score....

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:42 PM EDT reply actions

KSU scores, then UCLA scores in two plays...going for two now t otie it up at 24

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:48 PM EDT reply actions

UCLA misses the two point conversion...KSU up 24-22

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:50 PM EDT reply actions

Ole Miss just scored in OT against Jacksonville State to send it to double OT.

Ole Miss was up 31-10 at half and 31-13 at the end of the 3rd quarter

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 6:59 PM EDT reply actions

Bart, great job keeping this thread going.

by Robert Reinhard on Sep 4, 2010 7:03 PM EDT reply actions

Sweet...ESPN picked up the coverage

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 7:08 PM EDT reply actions

OMG, Jacksonville St.

by Robert Reinhard on Sep 4, 2010 7:14 PM EDT reply actions

Jacksonville State!!!!!

by BJohnston on Sep 4, 2010 7:15 PM EDT reply actions

wow…finally an upset.

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Duke-Elon

Might be equal fans for each team in the crowd…

by deacdiggler on Sep 4, 2010 7:35 PM EDT reply actions

That's sad...I didn't see any of this game, but at least Duke won

by BJohnston on Sep 5, 2010 12:46 AM EDT up reply actions

Yeah that’s good for them. But i do think Elon is one of the higher ranked FCS teams

by deacdiggler on Sep 5, 2010 2:37 PM EDT up reply actions

Duke

Already nervous for this game…I hate it every year. Especially when it’s in Winston – they always play us close there. Their offense looks pretty strong this year, defense is suspect. it’s going to be a wild one I think.
