Week 7 - NCAA Football

USF football is an embarrassment. How are they so pitifully coached every year?
 
Was really hoping that South Carolina would beat 'bama and give us another memorable SEC Shorts. Instead I watched Rutgers get blown up by Wisconsin, so I got some satisfaction today.

And they used to have decent teams in the 00's and last decade if I recall correctly, with their alternate shiny golden helmets.
 
Not surprised that USC is up 14-3 on PennSt. Nittanies do their regular Franklin flop. The only bigger paper tigers are the Canes.
(Specific of, Cal down double-digits to Pitt.)
 
Will be interesting track how the west coast teams do in their home/away games this year. So far it seems like teams that are doing 2000+ mile trips are generally losing, but haven't checked?
 
Future opponent GaState tied with Old Dominion 7-7 at the half at home. State with just 9 yards rushing in the first half.

One more note about the Army game - QB Bryson Dailey accounted for five of the Cadets six TD's (one passing, four rushing). Sorry, my dad was a West Point grad ('45), and they have always been a favorite team.

Using only B1G and ACC conference games:

E @ W 2-4 (both E wins @UCLA)

W @ E 3-7

Watching the Cal vs Pitt game, the combo of Cal's QB Mendoza and TE Endries is almost half Cal's entire offense. Endries is a big target, decent enough speed for good YAC, and gets open seemingly at will. Sammis would do well looking at that film for how to get TEs open over the middle and on sidelines for our QBs to find them.

SC not far from being 5-1 if they could have closed against LSU and Alabama. They had their chances today.

Florida offense having their own temple moment against tennessee, with a goal line fumble

UMass needs to stop scheduling 3 SEC teams a year - pointless matchups that do nothing to help the program and simply demoralize their players. Really feel bad for those guys, their MAC return can't come soon enough.

They don’t sell out many games
 
Classic targeting hit by LSU defensive player on the Old Miss quarterback who was in mid slide. The LSU player hit him with his helmet in the head area! Of course on review the call was inexplicably reversed!

If there's a way to win a game, remain undefeated and still drop out of the AP top 25, Pitt just achieved that. My God was that ugly.

It was ugly, but both teams gave 150%. A win is a win.
 
On the once and future opponents scoreboard -

'Cuse over NC State 10-7 at the half. Joly 1 catch for 14 Yd TD.
FAU leading 4-1 N Texas 34-27 after 3.
1-4 Rice leading UTSA 23-13 early in the 4th.
Buffalo beat Toledo 30-15
ODU over Ga. State 21-14
Merrimack beat Morgan State 32-24

Nick Saban ain’t prowling that sideline anymore.

At the end of the Vandy game, they had a corner absolutely going huts. He threw his mouthpiece and then proceeded to walk over and kick the football before Vandy snapped it. Saban would never tolerate something like that, and it will be worth watching to see if the discipline of their program slips some.
 
Ohio State bumbles away a chance to win at Oregon. All this talk earlier in the season about "what is wrong with Oregon?", and now this. Once again, we see that all that counts is winning, hang the style points.
 
Oregon edges Ohiost 32-31

Boise loses by 3 at Oregon and it’s 17th.
Miami won’t play a single ranked team all year, keeps winning close games, and it’s #6

Winning counts. It always has, especially when you start at a decent ranking. It's certainly better than losing, that's for sure.

Sean McDonough is insufferable as an announcers.
He chooses to not separate opinion from fact with replays and close calls. And injects stupid levels if drama. The Game has enough natural drama; go with it and don't try to steer it.
 
Some fun football today. Penn State/USC, Pitt/Cal and OSU/Oregon were all entertaining and relatively well played, and Miss/LSU is a good nightcap.

Illinois/Purdue and Alabama/SC were sloppy messes, but were close.
 
The RB for K State (Giddens) has been so impressive against Colorado.

They don't seem to be able to stop him at all, at least on this drive. This last hit might slow him some though.

Any G5 team with Miami’s resume wouldn’t be in the top 20.

Well, the great thing is that they play games and we will see how it plays out. They look like a pretty dynamic team to me, that has real talent on the line of scrimmage and one of the better quarterbacks in the country. Still a long way to go for them of course, just like everyone else.
