They're secretly not good. They're one injury to Barkley of their season being over. He accounts for 80% of their offense. And they haven't played anyone. Yes, Iowa isn't anyone.

They're a pretender. They'd get trashed by anyone else in the top 5.
He's so bad.

Unpopular opinion: Chubb and Michel are the third best RB tandem in the SEC. But still damn impressive.
We play 5 RB's though in non garbage time. But who are 1 and 2 in your opinion? I don't necessarily disagree, just saying if the two of them were the only ones that played they'd be putting up ridiculous stats.

Oh, I'm not just going off stats. I know my eyes tell me those two are a fucking load. Alabama's got the best two starters in Harris and Scarbrough, and I actually think I'd give the nod to Williams and Ford at A&M for second. But at that point, I'm splitting hairs.
I haven't watched much A&M so I can't say. Scarborough and Harris seeks reasonable though.
I haven't been watching that game but Saquon is great. It's just that Penn State has nothing else and if Penn State plays any good defenses they will key on him and make Penn State get other people involved.
Should've gone with Admiral Ackbar.
First major university to adopt a good pop culture mascot will become my second team.
The Stanford Groots vs The Army Captain Americas
I mean, Stanford's band is at least weird enough to do it. I think it would be great.

Point out the Saquon criticism. People are criticizing Penn State.
Then again, Saquon is Penn State's offense, so by that logic, criticizing Pedo State is going after Saquon.
Stanford's band merely adapted to weird. Rice's was born it.

Game time was moved up due to possible hurricane Nate impact.
Herbie went against Chris Petersen today and said Pac12 should be happy ESPN is carrying their games. :jnc
This take is dumb as hell. They weren't doing it out of the generosity of their hearts or something.
Yeah Herbie has been more shit than usual lately. Attacking that highschool kid on Twitter another example.
I saw that it got move to a 12 ET start. I'm still kinda confused as to how it was going into the 4th when most other games were still in the 2nd.

I think the tape thing is important. Guys who don't put up enough tape for their flaws to be fully exposed do get drafted but they tend to wash out (ie Mark Sanchez), while guys who might go high with insufficient tape get exposed in college and then fall (ie Matt Barkley).
OTOH it is kinda proven that the NFL is fuck awful at evaluating quarterback prospects, relies far too much on outdated notions of prototypical size and body type, and the notion of "pro-style" offenses, which is ridiculous in an era when the best teams are cribbing from College and Arena Football.
Buckeye commit dared to tweet saying a backup should get a chance over Barrett and Herbie called him out on Twitter and doubled down on that week's Gameday.
Here you go.
There's also the whole thing of freshman (red shirt or otherwise) not starting much so they can grow and learn the system, but in the pros (when they tell us the game speeds up) rookie QBs are supposed to come in and change a franchise's fortunes.
Also, Vandy > Vols confirmed.
Also, Vandy > Vols confirmed.
In the Vols defense, our defense was sleepwalking in the first half. I'd be interested to see Bill Connely's percentage breakdown of first half vs second half, but I don't know if he breaks it down that far.

Only Herbie did. Even then, he basically admitted it was a leap of faith. I think Miami should be favored, but I honestly picked FSU in the pick em. Just a weird hunch.
What a dickhead.
Vandy getting first downs and scored? UGA'S A FRAUD

Clemson's Kelly Bryant is out of the Wake Forest game in the third with an ankle injury. Didn't look really serious, though.
Clemson is up 21-0.

Just discovered something. Vandy's horn is called The Admiral. They described it on TV as Blowing The Admiral.
Oh my God here is the video.

Does anyone else feel like yards come hard for their team's offense, but easy for their opponent's offense, or is it just Iowa?
I'd love to be able argue, but no lies detected.
A&M fan here, so... yeah.
Exactly. My local Fox is showing Duke/UVA because the ACC still hasn't gotten its shit together.

Iowa State takes the lead over OU
Yeah, it's that stupid Raycom game that starts at 12:30. For me, it's on CBS, so I miss the start of the 3:30 game. Must stink more to miss an actual national game.
