What really jumped out at me Steve was 23/26. I never thought I'd that sort of stat from a Minny-soda QB on a Spartan defense. I don't know what's worse, and I'm sorry to say it, the Spartan defense or the Spartan OL.

Guess what second half game stats with the score tied at 14 these are from.
... punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, turnover on downs, missed field goal.

Kansas 24, Duke 20
Holy Gayle Sayers, do I have to start to care about Kansas? A team that has not had a winning record since the Bush II administration? At the longest until mid-October. Then reality.
I expect a great basketball game here....uhhh....wait...what? Football you say? Hmmm. Lance Leipold is a very good coach. His dominance of Mount Union will attest to that. He has little top-notch talent to work with, but he's done a good job. Great offensive mind IMO that can work and scheme with what he is given. A lot of coaches can't do that and rely on their high-priced beef, which it's always been. (Only now more than ever with NIL)Note: you won't see many Kansas football players getting top dollar from NIL. But I digress, but yeah the guy works well with the clay he's given. I expect a high scoring game. 43/40. Don't know who will win but I've always had a Wiskiesque irrational dislike of Duke. So, I hope the Jays win.

University of North Carolina 27, Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie 12
Heh heh heh. Trip and pole vault right out the window. Heh. Schadenfreude is a legitimate feeling and I neither deny it nor apologize for it
I see the Irish grinding out a win here. NC has the better record but IMO their defense hasn't been all that. And IMO ND has way too much talent to keep looking as bad as they have. The OSU loss took the starch out of them. Sooner or later these guys are going to find second gear. I'm thinking it's this Saturday.
I'll go, ND 28, NC 25.

The Ohio State 45, Wisconsin 31
The merits of boasting of a win over a MAC school aside, The has an impressive offense, with talented depth everywhere. Stroud is looking sharp, he is gelling with the WRs and the two running backs (Henderson left the Toledo game but I expect him back, as cagey as The has been about the nature of his injury) are a load. I expect the parade of points to continue even against a normally stubborn Wisky defense. I still worry about whether the The defense can hold down a good offense, holding Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie down is looking less and less impressive each week. Wisky did move the ball even in the gam they lost, so I look for them to put up some points here.
I think you have the right of OSU putting up a win here. But I'm feeling that possibly the score might be a little lower. Something like 34-20. That's assuming the Badgers can eat some clock with the kind of offense they have. Also, in the Red Zone they have been pretty decent and FGs don't run up the score as much as TDs.

Methchicken 42, Maryland 7
Yes, your offense can roll over Yukon. Don t impress me much, as they say. They have not been tested yet, and they will not be here
I'm thinking a much closer game here Steve. I'm not thinking Michigan will lose but that the Terps won't roll over.

Here's second place.

Although seeing as Vandy totally sucks they may actually own first place. Either way happy gorging. :-)

« on: September 21, 2022, 08:37:20 PM »Okay.I assume it is the no punt return kick return yada yada yada.
After you sort through the meaningful numbers
Like 763 total yards, 11 TD drives out of 12 total, etc.
Stuff like that.
So Steve was right. You're bragging about eating a cupcake. LOL Go team!
Let me know when those numbers are matched in any game between
Division one teams.
I will wait.
Oh no please don't let us keep you waiting. I freely admit that you and the Buckeyed have won the cupcake pie-eating contest.
Congratulations.
Now, go wash your face.

Hey, we don't suck.
So far.
Likin the defense.
Offense is a little better Jones is still not the guy. Neal is making a lot of rookie mistakes and getting taken to school a lot. He needs to stop leaning and try and get his knees to perform their function. AKA play with balance. Right now, on a lot of plays I've seen, his center of gravity is all wrong. He leans too much and loses balance when defenders get off him. Watching him, and I loathe saying it because I want him to succeed, he may not be quick enough to play tackle at the pro level. But if he can correct and adjust who knows. Otherwise he eventually gets moved to guard.
