Today's College Football Thread

[fishwax]

The big game this week is Auburn vs. LSU, both top 10 teams. Auburn, you may recall, won last week in a real pitchers duel (3-2) against Mississippi State. LSU has shown a little more offense in their two wins, but the game is at Auburn. The only other game between ranked teams today is Wake Forest vs. Florida State. Georgia and Arizona State is the next best thing, and the Sun Devils would be ranked if they hadn’t fallen to UNLV in overtime last week. The other big game is Florida’s first SEC matchup, against Tennessee. A few other games of note between undefeated teams: Boise State plays Oregon and undefeated Utah plays undefeated Air Force.

My Oklahoma Sooners are off this week, as is Illinois, so I’ve got no particular game to gear up for. But next week Illinois plays at Penn State and Oklahoma plays TCU, who will probably be just in the top 25 by then. :woohoo:

So what game are you looking forward to?

[fishwax]

1. Ohio State in another battle with the men of Troy

but this week it's Troy State, rather than the USC Trojans. They're up 14-10 late in the first half.

[Droopy]

3. Keep me posted on that game if you would

I don't have a TV and you're better than ESPN online. :)

[lizziegrace]

6. Same here

up here in the great white north, the Big 10 network is showing the Minnesota game so I have no idea how the Bucks are doing...

x(

[fishwax]

15. I guess I can't get it here either

Last week, my cable network had all the Big 10 Network games available, with the other regional games on overflow channels. But this week, it appears they're only showing Northwestern vs. Ohio. :grr:

[fishwax]

9. I'll do what I can :)

It looks like Troy got the ball to start the third, and they're inside the tOSU 20 ...

[fishwax]

16. Still 14-10 at the start of the 4th quarter--Troy has the ball at their own 2

[Droopy]

19. Nothing like seeing a Big Ten powerhouse

struggle with "pushover" teams. I'm an Ohio State fan, but I'm having a hard time not rooting for Troy.

[fishwax]

21. I can't help cheering for those teams either

It's always exciting to see them hanging in against the big names :)

Meanwhile, Ohio State has the ball back again, and it looks like they'll get away with this one ...

[fishwax]

20. Ohio State scores on a 38-yard Touchdown pass: 21-10 Buckeyes

[fishwax]

23. 28-10 Buckeyes

[Ava]

2. alabama is leading arkansas 21 to nothing after the first quarter

:woohoo: ROLL TIDE!

[av8rdave]

4. AR just scored :(

Roll Tide!!!!


Wish it were covered on TV here....I'm having to check espn.com and talk to my son for updates.

[Ava]

10. 35 to 7 at halftime

:woohoo: roll tide!

we held them on the one yard line so they went into halftime with 7 instead of 14. go defense!

[SoxFan]

12. This is going to be a looooong season

I figure petrino will have a meltdown and kill Casey Dick by Week 7.

[av8rdave]

17. Their defense has been pretty consistent this season...

Offense looked a little rough in the Tulane game, but came back nicely last week.

[unsavedtrash]

28. Came in for lunch and under a minute to go...ROLL TIDE ROLL BABY!

Hell Yeah!

[Ava]

29. 49 to 14! roll tide!

before the game i predicted it would be 49 17... i was pretty close! :P


rammer jammer! :woohoo:

[av8rdave]

5. Utah plays Air Force at 4

Go Falcons!!!

[fishwax]

13. I think that will be a fun game to watch

I only wish I could watch it--but it's not on TV here. :(

[av8rdave]

18. Don't think it will be covered here either....

But should be a great game!

[5thGenDemocrat]

7. Central Michigan and Purdue are tied 10-10 at the half

CMU's quarterback, Dan LeFevour, has just 50 yards through the air -- about a third of what you'd expect. If he gets hot in the second half, look out Boilermakers! Remember the name -- he's one of the best QBs you've never heard of.
John
Fire Up, Chips!!
Chip-POOOOOOOOOOOO-Wah!!

[fishwax]

11. That would be a nice win for Central Michigan

if they can pull it out in the second half. I know their only loss this year was to Georgia ...

[foxfeet]

39. But it wasn't, now was it? Go Boilers! n/t

[Ptah]

8. Arizona Wildcats and Montana Grizzlies! In about an hour and a half.

Arizona at UCLA

3:11 PM ET, September 20, 2008

[fishwax]

14. I hope the Cats beat the Bruins

I was surprised to see they lost last week :shrug:

[fishwax]

31. Wildcats are rolling!

Congrats to Mike Stoops--looks like this might be the year you finally turn the corner :toast:

[Faygo Kid]

22. Go Green! Beat Notre Dame!

Gonna fix myself a Bloody Mary and park my sorry ass in front of the TV at 3:30 and watch Javon Ringer ring up the yards.

[fishwax]

27. I hope the weather (and the play) is not as sloppy as last week

I think that game should work out well for Spartans fans :)

[Faygo Kid]

30. OK at the half; State 10-0.

Just OK. Excellent defense, Ringer is fine, but Hoyer - again - is not getting the job done. To be fair, his receivers have dropped a couple balls, but Hoyer is just not very good.

Great to see the beautiful weather there. It's a gorgeous campus, and I don't live in the state now, but hope to retire back to Michigan in a few years.

[Faygo Kid]

33. State beats ND; Javon Ringer runs for 200+ yards. Heisman, anyone?

Javon is the best since Barry.

Period.

[fishwax]

24. NC State and East Carolina heading to overtime

[fishwax]

26. NC State wins it

East Carolina got the ball first, but fumbled, and the NC State scored a quick TD on their possession to win the game.

[fishwax]

25. The Buffalo Bulls are keeping it close against Mizzou

17-14 Missouri with about five minutes left in the first half.

[IDemo]

32. Boise State 37, Oregon 13 after 3 quarters

Freshman QB Kellen Moore is doing a great job today.

[Twillig]

34. Broncos win 37-32! whoohoo!

Congrats!

Boise State was my favorite team today.

[Twillig]

36. Duck fans are oddly quiet tonight. n/t

[SydneyBristow]

37. Well, from one ducks fan...

Hey, we didn't show up in the first half. But you must admit, you were scared when we came back in the 4th, after moving to a Free Safety for a QB, i think he did pretty well. I mean come on, we have like 1 QB left. Considering that, the Broncs should have never let us come back. And there was nothing quiet about Autzen Stadium during the 4th Quarter!!

"Pac-10 Re-jects!" I lol'd when I heard that from the crowd!

Go Ducks

[Twillig]

38. Well spoke!

And it's true. That could have been a tank job, but the Ducks fought back. I got worried when BSU missed the field goal that would have made it 40-26.

BSU went prevent and, of course, that was a quick TD for UO.

Then the onside kick and I was thinking Oklahoma game all over again. (sorry Fishwax!)

"Pac-10 RE-jects"? Isn't that the kind of taunt that Belotti put to words on TV a couple years ago when he said pre-bowl game that BYU wasn't even good enough to be a mid-level Pac-10 team.

And then got Beat?

Pac-10 has got no room to talk shit.

GO BEAVS!

[GOPisEvil]

35. A&M only lost by 18!

:woohoo:

Ya can't coach speed, and A&M has very little. Maybe next year.
