Week One Non-Uconn Games

Anyone who was actually paying attention realized Arch was overrated by his senior year in high school. He was a top-ish QB for the class on a par with the others. None who have set the world on fire either.

Julian Saylin (his opposite today) was similarly overrated during his junior year, but not being a Manning fell down the ranking a little (still, he is the starting QB for Ohio State). You will note that Saylin didn't exactly set the world on fire today either.

The Texas offense will gain some momentum against weaker teams and Arch will grow in confidence. Opening up the offense a bit will open up running lanes allowing him to be good college QB by midiseason (that and having NFL talent all around him, which never hurts).

Give the kid a bit of a break. This isn't a reprise of the Sanders hype where the kid ate it up and believed it. The Manning family has been trying to downplay things from day one (perhaps over doing it, if anything).

You also need to keep in mind that Arch is playing for one of the most overrated coaches in college football.

lol FSU fans storming the field.
Have some dignity folks. You’ve won NCs.
And this isn’t even a top 5 Bama.

And that pretty dress would look better on me, honey..LOL

Heck...beat a top 10 ranked team, in your season opener after a miserable season, rush the field and pay the ACC the required $50,000 fine....

The field was rocking..fans engaged...the players came to play like they were eating iron and sh..ng nails....What you want to see...

Bama's touted O line with future NFL guys, was manhandled...Me? All I wanted out of FSU was to play with enthusiasm...I liked their hustle.

Now I was just old school...had Alexa put Otis Redding on..."Dock of the bay"...Watching the tide roll away.

Found the Manning family burner.

I agree but the Manning family wouldn't have let him go there if they felt that way, so the overrating is coming from a high level of the football world (or you and I are mistaken).
 
Notre Dame just lost on prime time with their shiny helmets, and I'm happily drinking a dark beer... It was a good day, even if it was an all cretins crew team that beat the golden domers.
 
toughest opponent of the year for Irish
They should win the rest

Remaining road games are Ark BC Pitt Stanford

To your point, Miami had four straight possessions without a first down until their winning drive.
 
I really enjoy college football. What I hate is hearing about college football playoff implications in August. This was discussed as early as game in Dublin last week.

Miami did what it had to do to win the game. They have the best offensive line in the country and a stable of stud running backs. I have no problem with MC turning the keys over to his defense and letting them eat. Bain and Mesidor single handedly wrecked that game.

ND was always going to close the gap. They are a top 5 team not a bunch of G5 slappys.

There is a reason they call him "Estupido Mario Cristobal".
 
UNC has 70 new players from last year. I wouldn't touch this game. Even if you feel they are better, how many games does it take to gel?

I would agree for the most part. I just felt like they got super predictable with one up the middle run after another. Now ND is a well coached team that does not quit, so it may be that they were able to get back into it when other teams may not have been able to. At any rate, that was one very physical team that Cristobol rolled out there.
 
Just tuned in to the UNC TCU game. Have they mentioned that UNC lost to UConn in their bowl game last year? Just wondering.
