Barnett and Cronkrite...alternate ND reality

Barnett is taking some punishment from GT. He's running way to much IMO..

Surprised NW is down 14 to Duke.... I bought in to NW as Big10 dark horse. I know Duke is pretty decent but thought NW would handle it's business as home.

Houston is gonna be a problem in the AAC. Part of this is because Arizona is bad, but Houston is starting to figure out their vertical passing game and how to capitalize by going fast and getting downhill with the run when necessary. Their defense is nice, too, centered around Oliver and a decent group of DB’s.

Barnett starting to get it in gear for USF, too. AAC is gonna have a decent collection of good offensive teams.

This Michigan game is like a Koolaid drip into my veins. I know WMU isn't prime competition, but Michigan is way more legit than I gave them credit for.

Houston is my pick to be the 2017 UCF. Oliver is a monster.
Cheering for Parker and UCF to be the 2017 UCF again too.
Barnett, for as big of a tool as he was, sounds to have matured based on the reports I've heard. Hope he keeps his stuff together (as I would with any kid).

I think it's mostly their OL. We abused them. If their OL does well, they can be that power running team that Hairballz wants, and Patterson will be very accurate. It will be interesting to see them the when they get to mid season. They really don't play anyone till mid Oct (Wiscy), unless you count NW or Nebraska.

Purdue trying to hang on. I thought they would deliver the goods... Stock going down on Brohm....

USF just went ahead with around 5 to play with a Barnett run to the endzone. Very entertaining game.

NW very disappointing at home today.

So do we not live chat anymore? Y'all have changed.

Duke were better on both sides of the ball. NW defence tightened up but their offence was poor. Very little protection for the QB.

yup. NW and Purdue were both big disappointments today.

Stanford looking tougher

Crazy Herm looking good so far.....

UGA, OSU, Bama, OK all handled their buz... Clemson looked vulnerable... or Jimbo is ahead of schedule.

Mike Sanford’s WKU squad lost to... Maine?

Woof.

FWIW, this jump ball offensive PI is getting ridiculous with Stanford. Last week more than this, but these are not jump ballls. These are two hand shoves to create space for catches. Against SDSU, it was crazy obvious.

 

[Luckylucci]

Gross, that is not a good football team that there

 

[Irish YJ]

Now that I'm no longer feeling gut punched from our shit show yesterday, and had a chance watch highlights...

UGA, PSU, OSU and OK looked very good in P5 matchups.

The rest of the big guys feasted on their cupcakes...

Clemson looked vulnerable, but TAMU looks good. Got hosed on that touch back call. At minimum, it should have went to the booth.

Kudos to Crazy Herm. Pretty tough road schedule for them this year. Can't wait to see him in two weeks @Wash

MissSt is going to make noise I think. They have a 5 week stretch starting end of the month vs FL, Aub, LSU, and TAMU. They SEC West should be a good story this year.

Hats off to Colorado, but I think Nebraska is on the right track. Will be interesting to see them go on the road to scUM in two weeks. Their schedule is somewhat brutal so their year could be ugly but one of substantial improvement over last year.

UCF and Houston stayed on track to be pissed off at the end of the year when they are undefeated and still don't get a shot at the playoffs...

Three cheers for KY and KS breaking their curses!

Is IU the best team in IN?

Wiz, Lion, Week 3?
