College Football - Week 8 (Oct. 18)

[stuy119]

I still get excited over games like tonight's and hate waiting. And I miss the atmosphere of being at the games, plus tailgating. It's one of the only times I really feel homesick and miss Tallahassee.

Trevor Knight is hurt so OU's season is over.

He came back in but should be benched anyway.

[rawaction]

Over/under on WVU-Baylor was 81, I think. Easy money on the over. More than halfway there before the half and both QBs have been terrible so far.

[Smack]

Purdue could be playing for a bowl berth today if the staff hadn't been so stubborn with Etling.

[bcl412]

Iowa football is really annoying.

[Guest]

Oregon-Washington should be entertaining. Quite a few potential first rounders between both teams - Oregon has Marcus Mariota, Ifo Ekpre-Olumu and Arik Armstead while Washington has Marcus Peters, Shaq Thompson, Danny Shelton and Hau’oli Kikaha.

[bcl412]

I'm so down with Kirk Ferentz retiring or something.

[Derwood]

The Big XII really wants no part of the playoffs this year, do they

[NOLA]

Eventually Arkansas is going to win against a ranked team. It's only like their 6th matchup this year against one and been very competitive in all, but the 2nd half against Auburn.

I really think the Hogs finally win this week, as long as B Allen shows up at QB. We have had aTm and Bama beat before giving them away. We run for 250 today.

 

Jim Chaney: OC + QB coach Arkansas

Jim Chaney's a terrific coach. Very smart offensive mind and the players really rallied around him after Dooley was ousted at Tennessee. The credit is usually given to him for Jonathon Crompton going from an embarrassment at QB to a really solid player his final year. He has NFL experience too, so that'd be an extra draw.

I can tell you that Arkansas fans for the most part wouldn't mind to see him go. I'm mixed so far. He gets credit for Allen's improved play, but there has been some questionable second half play calling this season. We lead the world in rushing, yet he calls only one rush on consecutive 3 and outs with a late lead vs aTm.

[SouthSideRyan]

I know Baylor can score 14 points in like 22 seconds, but I'm not so sure about punting down 2 TDs with 5:30 remaining to a team that has put up 41 on you thus far.

[SouthSideRyan]

I wasn't aware WVA would run nothing but HB dives

[SpongeWorthy]

Lol aTm tackling

[Guest]

Anyone have any opinion on Willie Fritz as a potential head coach candidate for KU? Remember, we're not pulling an existing coach from a P5 conference. Right now the candidates seem to be:

 

Ed Warinner: Co-OC/OL coach at tOSU

David Beaty: WR coach aTm

Tim Beck: OC + QB coach at Neb (no thank you)

Clint Bowen:our current DC (no thank you)

Willie Fritz: HC Georgia Southern

Pat Narduzzi: DC Michigan State

Jim Chaney: OC + QB coach Arkansas

Scott Frost: Co-OC and QB coach at Oregon

Josh Heupel: Co-OC and QB coach at OU (no thank you)

Mike Norvell: OC + QB coach at Arizona State

Matt Wells: HC at Utah State

 

I've bolded the ones who I think will be in the first tier. But that's just me guessing.

 

Maybe Ruffin McNeil, but I don't think he'd come.

Some talk of Jerry Kill, but his buyout is crazy, and I don't know why he'd leave MINN

FYI, I really like Mike Norvell's play calling at ASU. He's creative and seems to adapt well to changing personnel. Obviously that doesn't necessarily mean he will do well as a head coach.

 

No idea how much credit Scott Frost deserves for Oregon's offensive success as opposed to Chip Kelly and Mark Helfrich.

Lol aTm tackling

 

The offense is almost as comical. 335 yards to 45. With just under 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

[Old Style]

Kevin Sumlin and his staff are stealing money every time they cash a paycheck. This is embarrassing.

[shnsajax]

Instead of showing A&M's offense can we watch the blond in the white dress?

[Derwood]

So where is Braxton Miller playing next season?

No, I'm watching us get hammered by a terrible Texas Tech team.

[GlassCow]

Tim Beck: OC + QB coach at Neb (no thank you)

 

Please?!?

[GlassCow]

In Manila, Philippines for a few months on a work trip, and we found a sports bar to watch the Nebraska game at. We'll be heading over there in an hour or so, at 6:45am Sunday morning local time. Good luck Northwestern fans, your team has outplayed us three years in a row. Very nervous. GBR

[snoodmonger]

Tim Beck: OC + QB coach at Neb (no thank you)

 

Please?!?

 

hahahaha. I think it'll be Beaty or Warinner. Bowen if he wins a few games. Narduzzi if there's a God.

[Guest]

Haha. Alabama has more points than TAMU has yards.
