College Football - Week of Sept. 5th

[Guest]

I got to agree with the sentiment, it's great to have some beer and watch some college football. Weekends are going to be awesome the rest of the year.

Preliminary report on Bradford: sprained AC joint.

 

Not season ending, but could be 2-4 weeks they say.

 

so he's going to miss part of the season and their chances of winning a title are almost gone. wonder if he's wishing he'd gone pro.

Probably not, as he would be on the Lions.

 

i'm sure he will end up going to a great team after this season.

Go Hokies

 

EDIT: Also, Duke lost to 1-AA Richmond. This comes after the highest preseason expectations for Duke in at least 10 years. Sweet.

I don't get it...what harm could have Iowa have had if they had touched the ball, regardless of it was before or after the line of scrimmage?

 

Remember Leon Lett? I'm surprised you guys are hammering the Iowa players for not touching the ball. That's what you're coached to do in pretty much all levels of football.

 

Here's the thing: Probably 98% of all field goals kicked are on 4th down.

Probably 90% of all blocked field goals either get deflected and go downfield where they can't be advanced by kicking team OR go backwards. This was just a 1 in a million situation.

If the kick advances past the line of scrimmage at any point, the defense is taught to not touch it. If they do, it's a live ball and the kicking team can recover for a first down.

 

Anyways, we really need to hope that getting Calloway and Vandervelde back on the o-line make a big difference. And that Brinson or Wegher can get/stay healthy and step up. We were brutal up front today. Stanzi was really good in the 2nd half. Spievey is a stud, other CB spot is weak right now. Linebackers underperformed.

But in the 2nd quarter when it was clear it would be a battle, I said I wouldn't care how ugly it was as long as we avoided total national embarrassment with a loss. UNI might not lose again this year.

If his draft stock drops even a little, he will almost certainly end up in a better situation.

He could end up as a 49er throwing to Crabtree.

And Josh Morgan with Gore in the backfield.

better to lose early than to lose late

i'm, like, 100% sure it went past the line of scrimmage anyway

That'd be a nice core for San Fran.

Now rooting for a BYU/Boise State BCS title game.

I'd love to see that.

 

Especially if they played it on the blue turf.

Nice to see UCLA rolling, even if it's against SDSU.

 

U-Dub up 7-0 early against LSU.

I couldn't watch the game. How good is Richmond? How did Duke look?

I obviously couldn't tell at the game and haven't seen a replay that really gives a good angle. I honestly think it almost went completely lateral but could be wrong.

 

It was just a total fluke play in a really weird situation. In hindsight if they fall on the ball, game over. But Hunter and others did what everyone is coached to do on a play like that, I can't fault them.

 

How does our clock operator not let that final second run off the clock anyways?

I didn't see the game, but Richmond is a 1-AA National Championship contender.

What a frustrating first game that was for Iowa.

At least they won. Now Illinois...that was frustrating.

[UMFan83]

congrats to k-state on their 4 point win over vaunted umass.

 

See? No one is bitching about how bad the Big 12 is. Kstate barely beats a D-1AA team, and OU loses to a less talented (but pretty decent) BYU team, albeit without their heisman QB.

 

But if the Big 10 does those things its, "LOL THE BIG TEN SUXXX! WORST BCS CONFERENCE"

ehhh, it was close, but i cant really tell from the field goal cam.

 

anyway, im going to wait until next week before i decide to judge anything

Richmond won the I-AA title last year. They're good.
