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.

Is it time for UConn to fold up shop & shut down their football program?
Army subbed out all 11 starters on defense to start the 3rd

quester and UConn got their frist TD against an FBS opponent. 42-7.
The U is a fucking disaster

I'd love to see the upset.

to come back is if Bass, Strawley and the rest of the 'E before W' crew are removed and have no more influence on the athletic department.

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.

I love the linebackers in this 2022 class. These OU guys like Bonito and White are very active and can fill gaps nicely.
Nice throw and catch...

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

I was listening to the end of the first half while driving

UCONN was referred to as a poor man's Giants

Not sure which team that reflects on worse

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.

I hear you on WSU at home. Hoping the new HC for SC - Williams - has them ready to go after an unexpected loss to Stanford. SC has a LOT of talent this year on both sides.

Mario will be Miami's top target if and when they shitcan Manny DIAF and Blake James.

He already has plenty of support and people who will write the checks for him.

If you mean Bama is up (as they always seem to be) and Florida is down, then yes you’re spot on.

Bama is just machine like. 21 first qtr points, and looking like they can do whatever they dial up on O.

Losing was predictable given their performance so far. Easy money taking the money line on State today.

Don’t look very good. The Clemson kid, the osu kid, honestly even Bryce young. I think a team with a good about can beat these teams.

Zeke's Alibi : 9/18/2021 4:34 pm : link
Florida's offense. Saban historically struggles against the mobile QBs of the world. Figured they were a look to hang around and backdoor cover this one. Not too sure about that anymore.

Yeah me only hesitation was going down to play in Miami, but knew it was over as soon as they let them wear white. Why the hell would you do that?

3-0 creampuff schedule that really locks down his core recruiting area before going into the buzzsaw of the Big Ten.

They will beat NW and Illinois and then the Maryland game will be for the bowl game for both teams.

Cape May Brewery is fantastic.

Tucker had a rough start last year. Hired very late after Dantonio got his bonus and bolted. Then COVID. Then no season. Then Psyche! Yes season.” Went out and rebuilt the roster with the transfer portal. 41 new guys! Big ? If he could pull them I to a team so fast. Good early results.

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.

After several years where NYG and MSU sucked, at least 1 is pointing up now,

Dart is so much better than Slovis  
Anakim : 9/18/2021 6:02 pm : link
I never saw the appeal with Slovis. He put up good numbers and is accurate, but he has like no arm talent and arm strength. He's like a less mobile Jake Fromm.

Won national title, lost all your best offensive weapons, yet still ranked best team in the nation the following year. I know my team is ranked 10th but I've seen years where we start good, have one bad loss, lose to OSU and get knocked out of any national title convo.

Must be nice to have homer announcers every time you are on TV if you're a Bama fan. I rarely bet against Bama, but man I hate these two.

Florida's defense is not good and he makes some questionable decisions and his accuracy isn't all that great. And there's no Tua on the bench.
What is he talking about finish the play, the forward momentum

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.
