They were talked up in the pre-season. Close losses to Rutty and Miami hurt VT. But they aren't out of it for a decent finish. And they catch Clemson at home in 3 weeks.

Future opponent Georgia State looked awful in the first half against our old friend Marshall last night (down 18 points at one time), but made a nice comeback in the second half. They were down by 8 (20-28) with the ball in the red zone with two minutes to go, but lost the ball on downs. They got the ball back after a punt, but a pick-6 made the score a deceiving 35-20, Herd. Both teams had 427 yards of offense, and GSU (2-4) had a season-high 218 yards on the ground.
I think they lost a close one to Vandy as well. They aren't an easy out to say the least.

Was watching some of the game before the half thinking VT had it sewn shut with a 28-0 lead. Go to take the dog out for a walk and settle in for the night only to see that BC pulled within a TD...fortunately VT woke up in the 4th quarter to put the game away. So BC and the Yankees lose, yeah, while the Mets get blown out, dammit, all in all not a terrible sports nite but was hoping for a trifecta of sorts.

I'm ridiculously pumped to watch NDSU and SDSU play this weekend. #1 vs #2. Total powerhouses of the FCS.

Watched (CBS Sports ranks) 134. Kennesaw State lose at 131. Middle Tennessee State 14-5 on Tuesday.
It is really wonderful that we are not as bad as either of those football teams.

Maine is hosting number 5 Nova today. Hope the Bears can keep it close but I'm about ready to part ways with Jordan Stevens - 7-21 in three years now. Maybe we can get Charlton back, lol.

Someone mentioned Army QB Bryson Dailey as a Heisman candidate. All he did today was account for all six Army TD's - five rushing, one passing. Passed for 147, rushed for a career high 171.

Speaking of Army, the last time both Army and Navy were in the top 25 at the same time was 1960.

Only bright side for today is the fact that Rutgers lost to a 1-5 UCLA team

Navy as scored thee TD's vs. Charlotte in the first quarter. They are 20 for 20 in the red zone, and all 20 scores are TD's. That's crazy.

I thought both 4th down decisions at the end of UT-Bama were terrible. Bama going for it on 4th and 22 from their own 18, with 3 timeouts left was stupid. Punt it, make the stop and get the ball back, possibly in better field position.
Then Geogia 4th and 2 from the Bama 23. The field goal takes a game from Bama needs a TD to win to Bama needs a TD to tie, strategically you're not changing anything. You're also then going to kick off and probably put the ball on the 25, actually giving Bama better field position to score the TD they need. Go for it, you convert, you win. You fail you give Bama the ball, still needing a TD, you went from possibly ending the game to guaranteeing Bama a shot.
