Week 01 NCAA Football

[Vowelguy]

Merrimack may beat us. They played very well vs. Air Force and did a really good job stopping the run.



G5 programs are going to lose by more and more as time goes on. The talent separation is greater than ever. Has a G5 even upset a Power program yet, even come close?

FAU was fairly close against MichSt
MSU 16 FAU 10
Nwern 13 MiaOH 6
Wisc 28 WMU 14

Rice looks just as terrible as us vs. a Sam Houston program coming off a 3 win season.

My take away from all the games so far unless anyone can prove me wrong the G5 programs have not beaten a power team yet and are getting slaughtered overall in head to head match ups. We are not unique to the butt kicking going on. Guess this is what happens when the top G5 talent gets paid to move to Power Conference.

Syracuse is up by 12 over Ohio at the end of the 3rd. Ohio was favored by ~20.

No they weren’t, they were 17 point underdogs, they covered by 1 point.

Oh.

Our former backup kicker is kicking for James Madison.

 

[Tdaley]

Looks like Chris Shearin is one of the starting safeties for James Madison.

 

[Tdaley]

Cam Ross is playing as well.

 

[CJasmer]

SEC and BIG will probably get 9 teams into CFP. You have Georgia, Alabama, TN, MO, TX, and Old Mis. BIG you have Oregon, OSU, Michigan and Penn State.

 

[Forte]

I recall a lot of interest in Moorehead just before we got Mora. It appears to have been an even worse hire than ours at this point.

 

[BugsyCT]

UNLV is on the road beating Houston 17-0 3rd qtr

Make that 24-0

 

[Tdaley]

Nice run by Ross on the reverse!

 

[Vowelguy]

If he isn’t already, Dabo Swinney is going to be a case study in B-school of what happens when you fail to adapt to a changing landscape.

 

[Purple Stein]

Nice run by Ross on the reverse!

He’s got 94 combined yards in the first half so far.

 

[Tex-Lager93]

I’m sure Fritz will get this ship turned around, but Houston looks rough. Big XII football…

 

[BigTenFan]

Fresno State playing tough in Ann Arbor

Auburn 52 Alabama A&M 3 - halftime

Our former backup kicker is kicking for James Madison.

We did not want Ruelas or McFadden for some reason. We were told it was because we got a great transfer/portal kicker from Indiana. He looked great on that 38 yard kick that was 20 yards wide left.

It look like he also missed both tries in the Summer open practice. Our punter looked awful on most of his kicks after he made couple long punts in the beginning of the game. Brown did look good on kickoff returns today for us.

 

[Bongo Fury]

I recall a lot of interest in Moorehead just before we got Mora. It appears to have been an even worse hire than ours at this point.

And we (fans) were willing to pay him at least 2.5.

 

[Bongo Fury]

Watching Sluka play for UNLV. Dark Memories of him playing at the Rent his freshman year.

Fresno St @ Michigan is possible upset in 4th quarter. 16-10, Michigan, but Fresno just scored.

 

[Vowelguy]

Big having a fairly bad opening week.
Minn loses to UNC and of the 8 semi-close games between p4 and g5, the BiG has 6.

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Oregon in a close game with Idaho in the fourth quarter?

Ruelas left because they put him behind McFadden, who he played better than the previous year after McFadden went down. Bad decision.
