Texas A and M 27, the Miami with Palm Trees 21
Pissed. I think that will be the word for TAMU this week. I doubt practices were much fun. Miami has played a SWAAC team, and a team that lost to Liberty, so this is their first real test. Despite the literal dog turd TAMU laid down Saturday, they are still a very talented team. I am interested to see how they rebound.
"Pissed", funny.
Because Jimbo Fisher has decided to pull out his Johnson in Miami. QB Max Johnson that is. Who IMO was his best option to start the season, but Fisher decided to go with King instead. A primetime game audience will see two of the more hyped head coaches out there. Johnson IMO is an underrated talent that hasn't hooked up with that OC that can bring out the best in him. Dickey is an excellent teacher and could be that guy. Prediction: Aggies 29 Canes 27.

University of California** 42, the Fresno State 32
What is going to happen when SC plays a team that does not turn the ball over on a routine basis? The offense is impressive, Caleb Williams is a stud, the receivers look great. But the defense is, well, not. Fresno State is not a pushover, and I doubt they will gift SC the ball like Stanford and Rice did. So while I expect scoring to keep happening for SC, I expect the games to start being closer for them.
I think Fresno State is going to get Fresnoed.

EVENTUAL 2022 2023 NATIONAL CHAMPION MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 27, WASHINGTON 20
They damn well better win. One of my staff is a UW grad and I do not want to have to skip work for two weeks to avoid the gloating. Anyway, we need to run more. I know that is not the direction CFB is going, but we run and run block pretty well. On the other hand, Eventual 2022 Heisman Trophy Winner Peyton Thorne has just seemed a little off this year, missing throws he should make and his arm strength seems to have diminished. Better to rely on Berger and Brousard, our Bed and Breakfast Bread and Butter. Washington seems to have put last years offensive issues aside, and they have been pretty effective through the air, which is troubling for us still. Pennix gave us problems when he was at IU, as dual threat QBs do. Still, I think we can control the ball offensively enough to take this game.
This should be a very good game to watch. I'm predicting a Washington win, but with lots of drama right up until the end. Buuuut, if Tucker is smart enough to use all of that nice linebacking talent he has Pennix just might not know what hit him. The Spartan secondary has got some seasoning so let em hold their own Mel.

« on: September 13, 2022, 09:38:53 PM »If it hit a Georgia player we are in the wrong game.An official cannot guess who an intended receiver could be until the ball lands.According to Saban, Alabama "did" have a receiver, Jase McClellan, in the vicinity on the "safety" call. "If" he's right, then the incomplete pass call is correct.I don't think that guy was in the vicinity of where the ball was aimed. If aimed is the word I am after. But reasonable minds may differ. As may you.
Here, "maybe" is a photo that proves him right. It shows a partial view of an Alabama player behind a Texas player No. 13. I don't know who it is, and really it doesn't matter. any Bama player would do. The real referee video replay should have been for intentional grounding. Too bad there is no replay allowed for that unless it's called. It wasn't. Then the play would have been put to bed like it should have. But looking at the photo and to extrapolating from the video of Young's throw it was heading in that Bama player's direction. Thoughts?

Now I wish I had an overhead video. LOL
And if a defender deflects it there can be no penalty for grounding.
Actually, it hit the Georgia guy right square in the front of his helmet. But as much as it makes my gorge rise, essentially, you're right.
Egads, that's going to leave a bad taste for months.
Jesus, it's catching you've been right twice. What evil have I unleashed here?

« on: September 13, 2022, 06:31:33 PM »Looking like Cinci may not have resolved that O Line issue that sunk them in the Super Bowl. Burrows may need a hole to hide in. You do not take that many hits year upon year without negative consequences to your QB. Relatedly, i do not buy Pitts as a legit contender, especially if Harris misses time, but that defense was win them some games.
They had Steelers at 9-1 to win the North after finishing a half game back with the weak armed Ben.
I chuckled - then laid out some cash.
Icky didn't look all that good according to reports.
Evan Neal had a decent outing. Here's a video of him bouncing Ola Adeniyi around like a ragdoll. It looks like he just touched him. LOL

Georgia 31, South Carogoddamnlina 3
Did I underestimate Georgia? Maybe, but though they eventually crushed Oregon, for a while Oregon moved the ball, only to have Bo Nix Bonix, and you cannot read anything into a game against Samford. Still, they are putting out a monster defense, and Stetson Bennett IV, Esq. is playing like he does not know he should not win the Heisman. The Cocks suck themselves, so I expect UGA to win big.
I always wonder about how many points the underdog scores after the outcome is no longer in doubt. But the Dawg second team is also so loaded with talent just itching to get some contact. Smart IMO is the best defensive minded coach in the college game today. After he left Alabama the Tide defenses were still good. But IMO not as dominant as when Smart was there. Schumann and Muschamp make a formidable defensive coaching combo in their own right. After watching them dismantle Oregon I think Georgia has the nation's best defense. Their offense however is still shaky at QB due to their potential problem with injury. Neither one of their top 2 QBs is 100 percent heathy maybe not even 80 percent healthy. So, it might not end up looking as lopsided as it really was final score-wise. But I look for the Dawg defense to be responsible for at least a couple of scores in this game. If not outright, then at least setting to offense up.

Smaller college coaches, or pro, or college assistants, may go there if the money is good enough. But they gotta know they are doomed.
