Virginia Tech game canceled due to Flo

No Skyline U coverage? SMH

Saturday night will have some good football for me to watch when I get back to the hotel from the game.

I like USC to beat UT on the road. UT is trash, USC is a competent QB from being pretty solid, and JT should only get better week to week.

OSU big, IMO.

Couldn't really watch much of the Wake/BC game. Any opinions on our on-deck?

Good offense, terrible defense. Basically a polar opposite of us.

Basically sums it up. They have some serious issues tackling the ball carrier. AJ Dillon is a good back, but still. Pretty sloppy. Wimbush could have a big day with his legs in Winston Salem next weekend.

Until we start looking strong again, my anxiety about going on the road won't stop lol. Hoping BS was our crap game of the year, and the wake up call was received. I am optimistic that our OL will look better this week vs Vandy.

IU making Ball St look like Ball St... 24-3.... SMH

Iowa St hanging around with OK but gave up a late score 24-10

Nebraska struggling with TOs and Troy... down 17-7

Syracuse up two FGs close to half over FSU

Kansas looking like the real deal over Rutgers 24-14

Maryland, the TX beater, down 21-7 at home vs Temple

Pitt surprisingly up 21-0 over GT

 

[Irish YJ]

Is FSU really this bad? lol

Nebraska - TOs and injuries just too much for them...

Iowa St still hanging around. Would love to see OK go down.

Arkansas getting destroyed by North TX..... New coach, worse result

Houston/TXT combining for 13 TDs so far and early 4th... TT up by 7

Bama and OM tied

Yup.. I knew it wouldn't last so I thought I'd get it in while I could lol...

Good lord the Houston TT game combined for 16 TDs... 4 TDs per Q.... lol. Hated to see Houston go down though. Thought they could have been this years UCF.

 

[Irish YJ]

All the gushing over Amon-Ra gives me a big ol sadz

 

[loomis41973]

Looks like Ole Miss dropped the soap.

 

[Irish YJ]
