It was not great defense by UNC?Never trusting the Hokie offense no matter the opponent. What‘s the over/under in a game between Hokies and Hawkeyes… 27.5?
I assumed they weren’t capable of that. And i‘ve just been perusing Hokie forums. Was it great defense from UNC??It was not great defense by UNC?
No, VT has one of the worst offenses in college football and UNC's defense was/is not good.I assumed they weren’t capable of that. And i‘ve just been perusing Hokie forums. Was it great defense from UNC??
I thought we really stepped up today and played our best 60 minutes of football by far, but I do agree that Va Tech play calling and inability to catch open passes did help more than a bit.No, VT has one of the worst offenses in college football and UNC's defense was/is not good.
The fact that LSU winning games they should lose is always a good sign.I mentioned it in the in-game thread, but I think it's time to be worried about UGA. They are still going to out-talent most teams, but that's 2 straight games they looked disinterested. They were jawing with Mizzou showing the ring sign before the game. They remind me a lot of the Alabama team the year after they won their first title. Ultra talented, but maybe not mature enough to handle the success. They can still turn it around of course, but those games against UK and Tenn just got a lot more interesting in my mind.
Not sure how AU managed to lose that game. I'm about to get on an airplane, I expect to read about Harsin being fired once I land. Maybe they are waiting for after the UGA game.
I'm pretty happy with how Alabama responded after losing Bryce in the 2nd quarter. I'm not sure there are many teams that could have won that game in those circumstances. Sounds like Bryce will be fine, and if our WR learn how to catch balls that hit their hands, this could be a really good team. Road schedule will be tough to navigate unscathed though: @ Ark, @ Tenn, @ Ole Miss, @ LSU
Miss St is a good team. I know the short-comings of aTm, and that State lost that game to LSU they had no business losing, but Miss St is going to be a tough out for everyone they play. Egg bowl is going to be epic this season, as it is most years
Great win for Ole Miss. UK had their chances but couldn't capitalize.
In the SEC, there are going to be 2 or 3 pretty good teams that go 8-4. Something to think about for bowl season, though hard to gauge interest levels these days

Yea it’s a few games and these aren’t his guys and Daniels ain’t good but Denbrock can leave tomorrow as far as I’m concerned

I was simply amazed at how bad Oklahoma was on defense
Agree 100%. Think LSU will be force and regular NC contender again very soon.It’s a sign of being well coached with a winning culture. Kelly will do great at lsu
I have a decent sized rsw on on BYU over 8.5 and I couldn't be less impressed with them. Uncharacteristically soft on both LOS. Not sure how they beat Baylor, but were very ordinary vs Wyo and USU.Bet on and lost with both AF and BYU last two weeks. Got off the BYU losses betting Live while watching them. I think ND is going to dominate BYU this weekend in LV and is a great bet at -3. That ND backup QB was awful that 1H vs. Cal but has since been decent. Don't think it's going to matter a whole lot vs. BYU - BYU is simply not that good. Their D looks awful to me and I think ND will dominate the LOS, making it easy on the backup QB. Might even look like the ND/NC game. Since I always lose these games I feel strongly about, will just be a 1u play.
But at least I've learned you probably don't want to lay big #'s with AF and BYU.
I've thought about this. Now you could give them a pass for USU with ND on deck. But I'm just amazed how their 27 and 28 year Olds are getting pushed around.The thing that struck me watching BYU the last two weeks is how undisciplined they are. Big penalties in big moments that either helped Wyoming or Utah State or hurt the BYU O. It wasn' that long ago, I recall people saying Sitake was not a good coach, then 2020 happened and last year when they produced DD win seasons. But teams committing penalties at the rate BYU has been, at the times BYU has been it reflects very poorly on their coaching.
Could be that BYU didn't take Wyoming and Utah State all too seriously, because now BYU is, or wants to be, one of the big boys - the type that can play with and beat Power 5 teams more often than not while thinking they can just go out and push their other opponents around and not play their best ball.
100% agree on the undisciplined part. Exactly what I was yelling at my TV watching them the last 2 weeks. Very frustrating to watch. Plus definitely can't lay a big # with them - Sitaki doesn't care enough. I just think ND might rip them a new one. I think the Oregon game might be the reality.The thing that struck me watching BYU the last two weeks is how undisciplined they are.

I'm already on Texas -5. Right now, every team in the Big 12 is more well-coached than Oklahoma. Oklahoma has now gotten out coached, out smarted and physically dominated by two teams that together--all 170 scholarship players--do not have one player who Oklahoma even bothered to offer. At least if they lose to Texas they'll lose to a bunch of other NIL four and five stars.I was simply amazed at how bad Oklahoma was on defense
Kansas State played today a lot likey they played every other game except for OU, not making the most of their opportunities. It almost cost them, but they cover in the end. Strange play, there was a pass late 4th Q that could've been reviewed or challenged as a catch perhaps, refs, sounded like refs, somebody blew a whistle during the play that K St got the game sealing INT on. Texas Tech coach no doubt going to have something to say about that.
Oregon State has thrown 8 INTs the last two weeks
Penn State has played lackluster football the past two weeks. This game had an familiar feeling to the Illinois upset last year, but today 2022 Northwestern was not 2021 Illinois
UConn, man UConn. Good to see them finally get a win. Fresno only scored 1 offensive TD
Cincy - Tulsa was a really rough game to watch with all the penalties and sacks, plenty of things both those teams need to be better at
Temple led 3-0 at the half. Did lose 24-3, but that team is playing some D at least
Ball State was down 7-24 HT, won 44-38 in OT
Missouri State nearly beat Arkansas a couple weeks ago, they are 0-2 since. Petrino hasn't been able to right that ship
You know, it kinda sucks that GT had such a tough opening schedule...they finally played a weak FBS team and look what happens?
New Mexico State was a 15 point favorite, yeah, they lost straight up
I see UNC was a big favorite for a reason, and the people that moved the line up knew what they were doing
People who flipped San Jose to favorite knew what they were doing
Kent State plays perhaps their worst first half of football all year, not vs Washington, not vs Oklahoma, not vs Georgia, but vs Ohio University - go figure
