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.
Serious ?...

The ESPN 30/30 show talked about how Schellenberger was recruiting in areas of Miami that they had not before where all that great talent was. Seems part of it might also be that other teams got in on the secret.

Walker III is a workhorse so far. Fast, shifty, strong, runs hard, makes people miss, has hands, and secure with the ball. Thorne isn’t awesome, but makes the plays he needs to and no big mistakes.

The U owned the LOS at first, good adjustments to find what worked, keep Miami off balance.

The D played the soft zone that looked awfully familiar, but here Miami couldn’t sustain the long drives.

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.
