Yeah, but Rutgers... essentially at home.
People were led to believe this year they might actually be halfway decent.

Temple went 2-10 (1-7 AAC) last year, and they are blowing out a Vandy team that went 9-4 (4-4 SEC).
The Vandy/Ole Miss opener last year was one of the best games of the year. This one, not so much

Cyan, when I typed 5,000 in my pick em for Rutgers I meant 2.9999999999999999....
edit. Oh wait three Rutgers fans posts in a row. Now we just need Jamesinclair, Peterykirch, and Cagey.

I love Connor Halliday. I hate everything defense. Going to be a long season if we can't even slow Rutgers down. Really disappointed in the team.

You do realize though, Rutgers had a great running attack last year with Paul James healthy?
If anything I'm shocked WSU just didn't put 10 in the box in forced Nova to beat you.

That's too much to put on our young secondary. Our defense is fucked.

Rutgers secondary is just as bad and young, hopefully having Boggs back soon can fix things a bit more.

I posted when it happened but I think that big conversion in the third quarter really helped Nova regain his composure. If he doesn't get that I think the game goes differently.
Mark Richt has lost control of himself.
Coach Richt is a genuinely nice guy.

Shit.
Way to go, Rutgers. Wish I would have watched that one.

It was offensive if you enjoy defense in your football.
Not sure if serious. He's sponsored by them and does commercials for Ford every year in the state.
Vandy was really like a 6-6 team that was handed a few wins by SECREFS. But yeah not a good sign for a new coach to have your first game go like this.

I sincerely doubt it could have offended me, given the past two years of Ohio State defenses.
There's reason to be excited, but USCe also looked like butt.
I'm too old for these primetime-on-West Coast starts during the work week, I fell asleep in the 4th Quarter last night. Woke up quite happy at 3am tho.
Yeah... every pass attempt from him made me nervous. Again. And he's a senior.
I thought Nova was fine, passes started sailing on him earlier in the game, but he pulled it down and started making clutch throws. . The int was on Peoples (and it was really on the play call more than on People). He's never going to be an all pro, but I'll take what we got last night from him.
Quality of opponent pass defense certainly helped in that regard.
There were a few calls last night from Friedgen -- swing passes, designed rollouts with a short-mid-deep trio of options -- that I think we need to see earlier in football games. Easy passes, guaranteed completions (for small gains), where the ball is thrown quickly or the pocket is moved to safeguard against any pressure, so we can get Nova comfortable.

Welp, 0-3 in my picks so far. Back in midseason form!
The team who's games you can see the most of.
So depends a lot on where you live and what cable package you have.
Find a friend who has one and they will usually convince you to bandwagon.

If you support championship football but also rape and crab-leg theft, then Florida State is the team for you.

Auburn is ranked too high, they are not admirable at all. List invalidated.
Yeah, this list is complete garbage.

As an Oklahoman, this is depressing, yet unsurprising.
Poor impirius.

Vandy and WSU need to be shifted off the page to the left.
2 things about that. lol at NC being down with us and secondly how is NC considered more of a power house than Penn St lol. They are 13-16 in bowl games, Despite playing in the ACC and Southern conference have only won the league 7 times, have only 7 10+ win seasons, their best bowl win is the gator bowl. SHENANIGANS!
