Another Washington TD.. Boise State go home. You are drunk.

 

[Paches]

THE ROUT IS ON! Go dawgs!

 

[LegoDad]

Boise state ruined my perfect pick em.. grrr

 

[TylerD]

Yup. Did you see the OU game? How did the new QB look? Don't really follow much in the offseason, but I was surprised Bell didn't get the job. Figured Stoops would just do what he usually does and give it to the previous year's backup

Knight looked pretty good. Ran for more yards than he passed (down right bizarre in the big 12 lately). Definitely has a burst that we haven't seen at QB in a long time. He looks to have the ability to make plays on the run with his arm or make plays with the run. Pretty solid first outing.

edit: Defense looked good and former players seemed to be pleased with the intensity and attacking nature. Something we haven't seen in a while either.

 

[LegoDad]

Touchdown Cal...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nice deep ball by Cal's QB.

 

[Cornballer]

Nice throw from Goff there.

Thanks! What has bugged me the last two years was the lack of speed and passiveness on the defense, and the lack of big plays on offense. I really felt like Huepel was just years behind the way CFB had moved. Maybe with a change at QB he can run the offense differently. I had really soured on Landry the past couple of years

 

[LegoDad]

Changing pick for tomorrow.

[Sun] Colorado vs Colorado State by 4

 

[shandy706]

They seriously rushing the field for a win against GA? As #8?

why is clempson rushing the field?

Get ready for Clemson to rush that field!!!!

Surprised no one addressed this. Lifetime fan here, Clemson fans weren't "rushing the field" by normal definitions.

The fans are instantly let on the field to meet with the coach and players after EVERY game.

Win or lose. It's a tradition now.

Edit** GO TIGERS!!!

We've found a worse tradition than vandalizing trees, ladies and gents.

Vandalizing a rock?

 

[Paches]

Good bye Boise.

 

[AntoneM]

more and more, Clemson seems as cult-ish as Texas A&M. They are starting to frighten me and the mascot already gives me nightmares.

 

[Cornballer]

Yikes.

EDIT: Yeah!

I'm not sure how a team and coaches willing to be with their fans is a negative, lol.

Whatever floats your boat I guess.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Don't let the door hit you, Broncos.

 

[cashman]

Wow Cal looks pretty good!

 

[squicken]

This Cal QB has some really nice touch on his passes

 

[Lonestar]

Vandalizing a rock?

Don't give them any ideas, they might start doing that after it happened in the offseason.

Worlds tiniest rock, incoming.

Won 3 championships without crowd rushing the field. They do it for the protection of the Crowd, in fear of Saban killing folks indiscriminately.

 

[Cornballer]

Goff looking good now and Harper/Treggs are playing well.

Don't let the door hit you, Broncos.

Nice win for you guys today.

 

[LegoDad]

Northwestern you have a 2nd half to play..

 

[cdyhybrid]

Goff looking good now and Harper/Treggs are playing well.
Nice win for you guys today.

It's a good start, but we've got bigger fish to fry.

 

[Lonestar]

Cal has Tony Franklin????

 

[Cornballer]

Cal has Tony Franklin????

Yeah, he worked with Dykes at a couple of places before.

 

[squicken]

Cal has Tony Franklin????

I had no idea he and Dykes had left LA Tech for Cal. That's a big time coaching upgrade for them

 

[Meier]

That's cool that Hardy Nickerson's kid is following in his footsteps. Bucs legend.

 

[Lonestar]

really? a coaching upgrade?

Maybe Auburn was going to be a trainwreck, no matter what, that one year.

 

[Paches]

It's a good start, but we've got bigger fish to fry.

4-0 start to the season is bare minimum this year.

 

[Meier]

Hell of a throw! Love this kid so far.

Very nicely placed ball.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

What happened? Go to clean up for the night and Cal is winning?!

Edit: nevermind

 

[Chris R]

Twerking in the Cal lockers? wat

 

[Lonestar]

:lol @ the Cal running back.

"I'm jumping for a 1st down, fuck you guys"

 

[Branduil]

Looks like UCLA made the right adjustments during halftime.

 

[Cornballer]

Dammit

 

[LegoDad]

Touchdown Northwestern!!! Yes!!

 

[perfectchaos007]

That was unfortunate for Cal. Pick 6

 

[cashman]

Damn thats just bad luck.

 

[Juice]

Ahh, that was a joyful pick six. Phew.

 

[Branduil]

Jerry Neuheisel Jr. is playing QB for UCLA right now, LOL.

I really felt like Huepel was just years behind the way CFB had moved. Maybe with a change at QB he can run the offense differently. I had really soured on Landry the past couple of years

I felt the same way. As long as Landry could sit back and just throw the ball without being pressured he was really good but when the pressure came, he turned into Doofy and was very prone to mistakes. That is the main reason why I didn't think he would make a good NFL quarterback. No play making ability under pressure.

 

[Cornballer]

Lots of injuries for both teams tonight. :/

 

[Juice]

Good grief, NU is going to have no first stringers left in game 2. :-(

 

[LegoDad]

Fake injuries??

 

[Juice]

It would be very unlikely for NU to fake it. The NU program is almost ethical to a fault.

 

[Cornballer]

Bad series there. Goff got buried on the sack.

 

[Paches]

People are taking shots out there in the Cal game.

 

[Juice]

Man, this is a frustrating game to watch. If I didn't know about all the injuries I'd be enjoying it. Instead my brain is rationalizing every play based on it.

 

[Juice]

"If only X hadn't been hurt, that would've been a TD and we'd be up 20 by now"?

I've been there.

I'm not discounting the importance of this game, but the last three seasons NU has lost one or more starters in their opener and I'm really hoping we stay healthy this year.

 

[Lonestar]

so Malcolm Mitchell Ted Ginn Jr'd himself???
