Not a really inspiring slate of games today
BYU vs Oregon  
montanagiant : 9/17/2022 12:11 pm : link
Seems to be the biggest game of the day
Miami / A&M could be very interesting

Texas A&M vs Miami is the game ..we will get Van Dyke or Levis
It's actually a decent card...  
bw in dc : 9/17/2022 12:21 pm : link
I think this Neb v Ok game may be pretty good.

Penn St at Auburn could be very good.

Michigan St at Washington has a lot of intrigue to me.

Miami is at A&M...lots of pressure on A&M.

And USC and Fresno should be very fun with Williams vs Haener. Haener is an underrated QB who makes play after play after play.

Good call on the last one. Haener doesn’t have ideal size, but man he just makes plays and keeps his team in games even when facing more talented opponents.
Go Gamecocks!

Anyone catch the FSU - Louisville game last night?  
bw in dc : 9/17/2022 12:45 pm : link
Johnny Wilson is a giraffe at WR for FSU. He's 6'7" with pretty interesting speed and athleticism. Remember that name.

And while he's not Lamar Jackson, Malik Anderson, QB/Louisville, does a pretty good impression. He is a lot of fun to watch. Can really make plays with his legs...

This could get ugly.

The TE for Oklahoma is interesting looking - Brayden Willis. Doesn't get a lot of balls, but I like his physical nature when he gets a catch opportunity.

Never noticed him at ASU.

Two good transfer pick-ups by FSU - Wilson and Micah Pittman (Oregon).

Yep, he is.

Bowers became my favorite player in all of college football as a true freshman last year. Uber-talented and will look even better in NYG blue in a few years than he does in Georgia red.

It's a very solid matchup outside the top 25. Pretty evenly matched teams with explosive offenses. My daughter's first night game at Maryland she said the students are fired up for it.

Van Dyke never threw downfield even when the team needed him to do so. Everything was short. I know A&M is a hostile environment (great crowd, looked like) but I didn't come away impressed by Van Dyke.

Neither did I but, as I said, the OC calls a terrible game and they seem to have no WRs (apparently their best WR is hurt). And they dropped at least 6 passes, including the last one
