So is Chip Kelly just totally overrated, or was UCLA just so devoid of talent? Not up on UCLA, but they, along with Nebraska and Purdue have to have some disappointed fan bases.

Go Buffs

 

[Irish YJ]

Colorado and UCLA, while not an O fiesta, is more entertaining than I thought it would be. Buffs take back the lead and are in the RZ again.

 

[TDHeysus]

I think UCLA needs more players, they have gaps in talent all thru the roster.

Syracuse beat Clemson last year (granted the QB got hurt) but that game will have my interest tomorrow (as a future ND opponent, and just to see what T Lawrence and Clemson can do).

Glad to see the Buffs coming back. Been 20ish years since they were 4-0. Would love to see both them, and ASU start emerging.

UCLA is so awful. I truly don't see a game on they're schedule that they can win.

And recruiting this year... they are sitting currently at around 80th ranked... They need to hit the JC and FA markets lol....

Ouch. Chip has his work cut out for him.

I think he's already half way to the amount of losses he had during is tenure at Oregon.

I mean I get the QB situation, but the team was ranked anywhere from 12th to 20th every year for the past 5 cycles (since 14). How can they be that bad on the field with top 15 or top 20 talent, and how can they be so bad this year recruiting thus far with "Chip F'ing Kelly" lol.

Sitting on a parking lot shuttle on the way to Temple @ BC. This place has to have the worst game day atmosphere in the FBS.

I can't find a beer. There are a grand total of 12 tailgate tents and they're all something specific like band parents or cross country or some crap.

 

[wizards8507]

Pretty baller seats.

No idea, parents are season ticket holders.

2. Throws it, crowd boos

3. Takes out ANOTHER PSU lion head, crowd goes nuts

there is actually a "fiddle kid" who brings his fiddle to the hockey and football games. just a "BC thing".

Syracuse up 6-0, and getting the ball back again. Clemson looking sloppy so far.

Crappy spot

AJ Dillon is on another level. Dude should hang them up now and not risk injury.

Dungy looks very good

 

[Irish YJ]

The Clemson/Cuse game is very entertaining.... Holy cow what a potential disaster with the QB. Took away his helmet.

WV all over TT.

 

[Irish YJ]

didn't include in the above sched, but IU is rolling on the road at Rutgers. I'm starting to get impressed with their D (relative to IU's historical D) which is something I never thought I'd say.

 

[Irish YJ]

Anyone know the scoop about Kyler Murray not starting at QB for OK today?

I heard that he was late for practice at some point during the week.
