Week Nine(???) Watch Party

[ulukinatme]

2-5 Stanford is locked in a 2 point game against #5 Washington 3 quarters finished.

 

[NDMatt91]

That looked like a lateral and should've been Wisconsin's ball, no?

 

[ulukinatme]

We broke USC. Barely scraped by Cal by 1 point.

Can’t believe they didn’t take a look at that. Then a punt inside the 10.

 

[Crazy Balki]

-Got snow at Colorado State
-Stanford been looking eerily competent past few weeks

They really haven't though.

Colorado is just being exposed as the bad team they are. They got obliterated by Oregon and UCLA.

Washington is keeping it close, but they also kept it close with Arizona State last week, who may be the worst P5 team of them all.

If Stanford plays like this against ND we may lose

 

[stlnd01]

Stanford tho. Shit.

 

[MacIrish75]

Chris Fowler having a brain aneurysm right now about an iffy intentional grounding call in a meaningless moment in a meaningless UCLA/Colorado game.

We lost to an actually bad Stanford team last year. This team is just young and not deep. They’d beat the shit out of last year’s Stanford team.

 

[stlnd01]

Oh no, Stanford. Shit.

He’s the worst. I don’t have a problem w/ Herbstreit but Fowler is vomit-inducing

Of course. UW won but I’m not taking any of the remaining games for granted.

 

[Huntr]

This UNC-GaTech game is waaaaayyy off the rails. GT about to win.

 

[calvegas04]

It’s an unpopular opinion, but I think Washington is fraudulent.

I think they should be in the playoffs over the cheaters

Bruh, they lost to Sacramento State at home.

They got obliterated by UCLA 42-7 at home. That was just last week.

And the trade secret, I don't think Washington is all that good. They should've lost last week at home to probably the worst Power 5 team of them all in Arizona State. They lucked out against Oregon and I can see Oregon beating them pretty handily in the Pac-12 title.

ND should have zero issue routing Stanford, especially with last year in mind.

 

[NDPhilly]

Think Washington is a top 10 team, but Oregon is the best team in the Pac 12 and would beat the huskies 7/10 times on a neutral field. Hopefully we get a rematch.

 

[RipWheeler]

Still lots of time to go but Arizona just went up on the swamp rats.

 

[NDPhilly]

Arizona about to put this game away.

Jedd Fisch is gonna get paid when he wants to make the jump.

 

[RipWheeler]

Down go nutrias.

Stanford has really improved since September. They’ve figured out their QB situation.
We should still beat them of course but they are no longer terrible just terrible on defense
Weird how their QB and Kansas’ have the same game and almost the same name.

 

[laughingirish90]

our irish should move up two spots in the rankings one would think with Utah and the beavers both losing last night.

They really haven't.

UCLA torched their defense for 500+ yards and 42 points with a backup QB. And UCLA's offense is terrible. Meanwhile, their QB threw for less than 6 yards per attempt.

Again, this was a week ago.

I'm not sold on the Washington game. Again, they should've lost last week against ASU, who is garbage. They've been struggling since the Oregon game.

I agree with you on the QB situation not improving, but at the same time Stanford's offense only had 4-5 1st downs the entire 1st half. Lots of 3 and outs, their defense was on the field an awful lot so I'm not sure how good or bad their defense really is. TOP was 37-23 in favor of UCLA, 1-11 on 3rd downs for Stanford. Their offense was anemic that game and has been for most of the year other than Colorado and Hawaii, neither team having a defense. Either way, we don't want to fall into the trap and stall on offense against Stanford. That seems to play into their hand, it's one way they outlasted us last year.

 

[MacIrish75]

Unfortunately, the NCAA doesn’t have the balls and McCarthy will do damage to OSU.

I honestly don’t see that happening. OSU’s D is legitimately good. However that game plays out, it’s likely a 24-20 type final.

They are good, although I don't know how many good offenses they have played.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah, but by that logic, I don't know how many good defenses Michigan has played.
