Oh and RIP Sooner Schooner
Oh and RIP Sooner Schooner
On the subject of things going horribly wrong in college football today:
Also, this is how you do a fake punt:
He's draft eligible this year, I think
Wake forest have a couple of notable qbs. Think two of the guys from qb1 went there. The freshman who played most of pilasters year was the dude coached by Will Grier’s Dad At Oceanside and only lost the job after getting injured. Looks like he won’t win it back either.
Florida are also struggling with South Carolina. If they spoil two sec teams CFP playoff hopes in back to back weeks it’ll be amazing.
Dan - you watched any of “Saturdays in the south”?
Yeah, Sam Hartmann. I think he's injured too as Wake have had three different QBs throw the ball in the first half & he was none of them.
Going back to South Carolina, DT Javon Kinlaw is making his push to be a round 1 player the last couple of weeks, and their freshman QB Ryan Hillinski looks like a solid player too. If they win this week they'll be ranked inside the top 20 from nowhere.
Not been watching the Saturdays in the South, but I've heard them talked about - is it just a history of the SEC or something?
EDIT: Just realised I've been saying Wake Forest but it's BC/NC State Got my three mid-tier brand teams jumbled up. Does explain why I ended up mentioning Chubb & Harmon though.

I’ve only watched a couple but yeah, it sort of focuses on certain aspects of sec footballl. Episodes I watched were about Hershel Walker, Steve spurrier, bear Bryant, the sec championship game being developed and Peyton manning.
I’m enjoying it a lot. Makes me so jealous I don’t live in America.
It's a bit unfair that Trevor Lawrence can seemingly run the ball like Marshawn Lynch as well as being able to throw it out of the stadium.
Looks like Florida have pulled their finger out & put this one away now
Yeah that failed handoff fumble really spoiled this as a contest.
I don’t mind Florida as much with trask at qb. Everyone loves an underdog and he’s the ultimate underdog.
Fuck Felipe franks though.
Justin fields by the way. He is smokin at Ohio state.
Hoping penn state level Michigan tonight.
I'm looking forward to Oregon/Washington in a minute. Will be interesting to see Herbert & Eason in a big game against good defences.
Fucking hell Wisconsin, way to shit the bed before you play Ohio State next week.
Illinois though Almost got Michigan last week & now they take out a top 10 team.
Wisconsin man. They’ve fucked themselves two of the last three years. 2 years ago they just had to beat a mediocre Ohio state team and they’d walk into the playoffs. Lost.
Now losing to Illinois? Given the strength of teams this year elsewhere that’s them hosed.
I’ve got my dual tv line up going with the LSU game on one screen and Oregon/Washington on the other. Just need to work out which one I should have the sound on.
Good first drive from Herbert. They seem to give him a lot of quick, easy throws in their offence, but then he actually gets the chance to throw more than two yards downfield & you wonder why they don't let him do it more often.
I've got Oklahoma State/Baylor lined up - I wanted to check out Oregon State/Cal but couldn't find a stream.
Espn player?
7 day free trial?
I didn't need to watch it that badly. Found a series of channels on YouTube that do condensed games so hopefully a few of the Oregon State games will be on there - planning on taking a look at their WR Isaiah Hodgkins as he's getting some chatter this season.
This Washington stadium is amazing. What a place to watch college football. Imagine it’s extremely cold, but what a cool school. Plays in purple, great stadium, pretty competitive team consistently.
Am I right in thinking LSU haven't been on their usual form so far today?
Yeah they’re struggling a bit. Thankfully miss state are pretty pish.
Been watching the Oregon game more instead.
Nevermind, they've scored two TDs in quick succession. Normal service is resumed.
Washington's offence is looking good today as well. Eason had a nice deep ball for a TD earlier, and with Salvon Ahmed, Aaron Fuller & Hunter Bryant they've got some pretty good weapons. They could lose all four of them to the draft though, so it'll be interesting to see what they have next year.

JB at LSU is going to go above Herbert in the draft.
He’s just absolutely hammering it this year. I want to dig back through and see what I said about him last year. I remember about a year or so ago speaking to a guy at work from Louisiana about him and saying (stupidly) it wasn’t a shame he wasn’t going to be there this year... to which he pointed out he would. Boys been wasted sitting on the bench elsewhere. Baller.
He’s exploded this year. I think the general consensus around Burrow was that he’d be a day three guy who might become a decent backup, but with LSU opening things up this year he’s flown up draft boards. The question will be whether it’s him that’s taken the leap or if it’s the new system that’s creating all his success.
Hopefully he’ll be at the Senior Bowl this year, along with Herbert & Jalen Hurts, so we can get a look at him in another system. Definitely seems like he could be the second QB off the board right now though, and if Tua keeps getting hurt & LSU take out Bama, it’s not impossible to see him being the #1 overall pick a la Baker.
What’s the early Sky game?
Recorded the penn state game on espn and they appear to have put on the Spanish commentary version. A tad annoying.
If Miami aren’t careful they are going to lose the number 1 overall pick to the bengals.
Seems like ever since Whitworth left they’ve been struuuuuugling. This is going to be Daltons last rodeo as a starter all season. Tua, Herbert or burrows will be slinging in Cincinnati next year. Burrows is from Ohio...
They can cut Dalton without any dead cap at the end of the season as well.
Chances are one or two of them are going to be shite anyway so they better get lucky.
I feel for Dalton behind that O-line though. Every game, he's under so much pressure. I don't think any rookie is going to be pulling up trees unless there are some big upgrades there.
Refs are giving the Packers the win here.
He looked likely to be out but there was no angle to say he was definitely out, which is needed to overturn it in accordance with the rules. That gets called the same way for every team in the league.
No that’s clearly out, unlike the other one. That’s how it works, if the evidence isn’t totally clear then it goes with the call on the field. It’s been that way since they brought replay back.
Even the refs can tackle Freeman.
This defense is all very Capers looking.
Fuck me, the refs might as well be wearing green and eating cheese. 3 TDs they've basically handed the Packers today.
Dalton is incredible.
Hearing 'MVP candidate Lamar Jackson' said aloud a few minutes ago was a bit jarring.
Stick that in your MVP pipe.
Pick 6 on his debut.
HERO.
Someone who sounded very white just said to someone who sounded very black 'I don't have any of those quick twitch muscle fibers like you and Lamar Jackson', and Sky immediately changed to another game.
Marlon 'Defensive Player of the Year' Humphrey
Philly are a mess. It was so bad I didn’t even finish watching the highlights from last night
Reynolds bloody apoligised when Spikes said 'crap' too. Fuck sake.
Watched Baylor yesterday too:
Toggle Spoiler
Also had SMU holding against Houston to go 8-0 last night. Their defence continues to be all or nothing though - gave up TDs of 75 & 96 yards by taking HORRIFIC angles, as well as a 44 yard run that set up a field goal, but then had two fumble recoveries & a pick. They also continued the wackiness by letting starting QB Shane Buchele punt once for 40 yards He's the next Daniel Jones.
