NCAAF 2024 - WEEKS ZERO & ONE

[Brian Fowler]

BTW, it was just against Southern Utah, but Cam Rising and Brant Kuithe hooked up for three touchdowns (Rising threw five total on only fifteen attempts) so good to see them back.

[Mike Campbell]

My old manager at the grocery store was a big Texas fan, and every Saturday I'd have to catch hell from him for being an Oklahoma fan. So, naturally after the 51-3 (and only 3 because the interception didn't survive the ground) massacre on Friday night, I had to wear a Sooners jersey to go grocery shopping.

[RIPPA]

Arizona's WR Tetairoa McMillan had... checks notes... 304 receiving yards and 4 TDs!

He should have had 5 TDs but he was tackled at the 1

 

[Brian Fowler]

The under 66.5 looking like a surprisingly strong bet so far.

[EVA]

I did not consent to watching all this competent defense.

[SirFozzie]

At least this game is really competitive, not many week 1 games were..

Yeah been a really good game, just not at all the kind of game I expected.

[SirFozzie]

I'm about to doom USC.

 

This is a very Tom Brady-ish final drive.

 

edit: HOW? HOW DID HE MAKE THAT CATCH? WOW.

LSU is about to turn Brian Kelly back into The Old Brian Kelly

 

[BloodyChamp]

Haha dang I needed that because I hate that smug turd. My Seminoles might be about to go 0-2 and I just need to put out there now that I’m very aware before I start with some excuses. I personally just ain’t feeling it this year. Seems like every ranked team that didn’t play Furman or Temple lost. And how is Lane Kiffin the only coach left out of all the coaches we knew??? I know he’s the youngest one probably but 

[Brian Fowler]

Nobody can catch on third down apparently.

[Brian Fowler]

I'm thinking Florida State's front seven might officially be a concern.

[BloodyChamp]

It’s a post Bobby Bowden tradition. Good skill players with no OL to protect them. Even at our best last year and under Jimbo on the cakewalk schedules it was a thing.

Florida State cover the RB rail challenge: impossible.

Or maybe the entire defense.

If that first one hadn't been dropped, this is probably 21-0 already.

[EVA]

Yeah, FSU is cooked this season. Try again in 2025.

[BloodyChamp]

Put a guy on the dang RB for heck’s sake. And the other dumpoff man who had the only other catch that drive. We can afford to do that since we’re getting a little pressure up the middle. 

[hammerva]

Oh brother this QB stinks.  he is missing wide open passes with  the greatest of ease

Good news: FSU got a 3 and out.

Bad news: FSU’s offense has the ball again.

[BloodyChamp]

I didn’t see whatever gave BC the ball back the time before but otherwise DJ U is not missing the passes. What he’s doing is sending them too hot for anybody to catch because he’s so shook. Jeeze Mike Ditka couldn’t catch those. 

EDIT: those short ones I mean

Does FSU not have a band anymore? The constant music blaring over the PA makes for a terrible atmosphere.

[BloodyChamp]

Get the Gee Dee first down no Jimbo Shanahan nonsense

[EVA]

Some of these passes, man.

This is not even FBS replacement level.
