Stop what you're doing and turn on your TV or streaming box.

USF taking #25 Boise to woodshed, 31-7 in the 4th

 

[LetsGoUC]

USF looks really good. I think they have a great coach

 

[NowInStorrs]

Duke and Elon are tied up at 10 at the half

 

[Vowelguy]

USF 34-7 and Rutty 34-31, both late

 

[BugsyCT]

Delaware making their FBS debut at home vs Delaware St. Blue Hens up 21-10 in the 3rd qtr

Buffalo (Ta'Quan Roberson starting QB) at Minnesota tonight.

 

[Vowelguy]

RU converts on 4th & 7 to seal the win. 34-31

 

[BugsyCT]

Very impressive win for USF over Boise. 34 straight points.

Cincinnati with a good idea to play Nebraska on a neutral field. It’s all red so they can claim they have more then 100 fans. I’m sure it’s 99% Nebraska fans there.

 

[KryHavok]

Watching the Buffalo-Minnesota game... Buffalo defense keeping them in the game, and our former QB with 36 yards passing in the 1st half.

Except for the 2 in the luxury box.

 

[History Geek]

Buffalo’s D is going to be a challenge

 

[TRest]

The Nebraska QB is the most overrated player I can remember in the last few years.

 

[Marbles90]

Roberson looking better in 2nd half. Buffalo hanging on down just 3 going to the 4th. They are a solid team.

 

[BlueWolf25]

B10 teams really showing the MAC who is boss tonight…some things never change

Rutgers beats Ohio 34-31
Wisconsin up 3-0 on Miami (OH) in the 3rd
Minnesota struggling to pull away against a TaQuan Roberson led Buffalo team

 

[BlueWolf25]

Buffalo’s D is going to be a challenge

Yeah it’ll be an interesting matchup. On paper our strength is on offense, so going up against their defense will be a good test.

Then again, their defense was solid last year and then we put up 47 points

Obviously would have preferred Buffalo winning to improve the overall strength of schedule, but all things considered a pretty positive 1st day of week 1 for UConn no? It does not mean everything, but…
Delaware did not exactly show out against Delaware St, despite the win.
Buffalo’s defense is legit, but the offense puts no fear in my heart.
UAB looked weak while pulling out the win against Alabama State.
Duke was even with Elon at half and pulled away late (this game likely means the least with the time to gel and all that).

Don’t get sucked into assuming what you see it Week 0/1 is indicative of the true quality of a team.

 

[Revrat]

Buffalo was pretty good against the run early but started to break down. That Minnesota QB is a baller and was throwing darts all over the place, but his receivers kept dropping them. Fleck was doing Fleck things early to establish the run and the Red Zone D of Buffalo was up to the task

 

[ZooCougar]

Nebraska will never be Nebraska again.

I definitely agree, though I will put more weight into a team’s performance like Buffalo that we play earlier in the season and a perceived strength was continuity/retention.

Roberson had a typical Roberson game. Maybe it was because he was playing against a B1G defense, but I still didn’t see an ability to throw over the middle/slants or run the ball. I was thinking the farther he got away from his injuries his running game would improve. But…maybe it will against weaker teams.

I am sure he will be fired up to put up big numbers on UConn.

Based on last year’s Maryland game we should have went 0-12.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Based on last year’s Maryland game we should have went 0-12.

And Maryland should have gone 12-0.

 

[Hamms30]

Really wish we played Maryland later in the season after we had a few weeks for the new OC and DC to work out the kinks on both sides of the ball.
