NGT: College Football Gameday thread

truebluelarry : 9/18/2021 1:46 pm
Didn't see a thread posted so figured I'd start one.

It's halftime of the Army-UConn game. Black Knights are up 42-0, the Huskies are a mess (I live in CT so I know all about their disarray) but the freshman QB they have in is showing like he could a peice they can build around. His receivers have been plagued by the dropsies and have killed drives.

As always, the Army triple option is doing it's job with 253 yards in the first 30 minutes. The TOP is only 17:00 as they've had a lot of big plays and quick drives.

Sabans bugaboo is mobile QBs. That guy fucked up the read though, it was there, should have had 2. Could you imagine losing to Bama because your kicker can't make an EP, guy is going to get daggers this week.

Lost two linebackers so far this year and one is the best player. Mullen is a excellent offensive coach. Nick is going to be all over his DC.

He had 3 TD passes. Should have had 4 if Bolden doesn’t drop the easiest TD pass ever.

Not sure how much more you want…kid is growing into a very good college QB.

Lock of the day - USC bounces back and walks into Pullman and covers the 7 rather comfortably.



Well I took MSU today and just fired on Florida getting 14, but WSU is generally a cover machine as dogs at home. Buyer beware on that one.


USC rolls 45-14… ; )

Very young QB. They not only replaced a lot stars they also have a new OC and OL coach.

Alabama’s offense has always started with their run game. It was not a typical performance today on the ground.

Because Florida's defensive backfield is a mess right now and he's on Bama, he has talent everywhere. Bolden dropped a TD pass that was wide open, you could have made that throw. I don't think he looked all that great and could keep them from winning the national championship. I stand by that, when it's the elite of the elite, you need the QB play. Especially since Bama is so heavily invested on offense now from a recruiting standpoint it seems. Like I said he's young, but so far, this year, I haven't been impressed.

Neither should Ohio State. They let an 0-2 Tulsa team get within 7 in the 4th quarter. That D is really shaky. The game was much closer than the final score would suggest. And good luck vs Penn State & Michigan State.

We won’t know if Michigan is for real until they go to Madison in two weeks. Still, they did score TDs on nine straight possessions and threw the ball effectively, and their starting D only gave up one long drive.

And now - whiteout time in Happy Valley.

College football is great. But they definitely need the crowds. Just adds to the pageantry.

Good start for Auburn so far

but Penn State winning tonight negated all that, great win and I can sleep well tonight. On our way to hopefully the CFP.

Sam Howell had himself a game against Virginia:
14/21
307 passing yards
15 carries, 112 rushing yards
5 TDs, 1 INT

No. 21 North Carolina defeated Virginia 59-39.

Yeah, once he figures out what he has in new offensive talent - especially after losing so much to the NFL draft - UNC is going to be a handful. Howell can put up points.
Corrall is only listed as six feet

There's no way that he'll fit the profile of either Gettleman, or whichever replacement GM we hire based of Ernie Accorsi's recommendation.

Didn't watch it but saw the stats. The TOP difference was unbelievable. Basically 40 minutes for Frez, 20 minutes for UCLA.

Time to start taking Fraz seriously because they gave Oregon a very good game in week one in Eugene.

I didn't get Herbstreit's raving about Nix during the broadcast. Looked to me like he missed several throws that could have made a difference.
