    Regarding SMU, it's funny listening to the various pundits talk up the FSU @ SMU conference game coming up in a few weeks. "Don't you just know that those SMU fans are thirsty to show off their newfound significance against one of the biggest brands in CFB?" -- Uhh, no, I don't know that. 

    Regarding the Duke@NW game, NW plays really salty defense. I'm interested in seeing if Murphy has developed any when it comes to reading a defense, or if he's just going to throw 3 picks and watch Duke lose this game, 20-13.

    On Saturday early games:

    -Ga Tech @ Syracuse should be a good game and tell us more about the ACC and how it will shake out. If Ga Tech wins this game, someone has to start taking them seriously, right? If Syracuse wins this game, they have a shot at being 5-0 heading to NC State. The QB play in this game should also be really good. 

    -I expect KSU to beat Tulane like a borrowed mule.

    -I'll be cheering for Okie State to beat Arkansas, unapologetically. I despise Arkansas and their "only one game matters" jihad bullshit. I've always liked Gundy and his post game presser comments this weekend cracked me up. Hopefully he doesn't Gundy this up. If Texas faces a walking dead coaching staff against Arkansas in November, so much the better for us. 

    Saturday afternoon games:

    -Northern Illinois seems like they're good for one decent appearance as a non-conference underdog every year or two. Maybe they play ND close?

    -The total in the Iowa/Iowa State game is 35.5. Seems like a lot for these two, but they have gone over 35.5 in 9 of the last 15 battles. This game has caused me to nod off on a handful of occasions, against my will. 

    -How can you continue to leave Biff Poggi off of your watch list? The Charlotte Whatevers had their asses handed to them against James Madison at home last week. Poggi grabbed his starting QB, tucked his head firmly underneath his hairy, sweat-soaked underarm, and proceeded to noogie the shit out of him late in the 4th quarter. These guys are going to show up terrified and angry to play the Fighting Mack Browns.

    -The UTSA/Texas State should be really interesting and likely features two postseason teams. 

    Saturday Evening games:

    -South Florida is getting 31 points playing at Bama. South Florida is not a bad team and, as we all know, played Bama tight last year. I'm not predicting an upset, but I do think there's more to learn about Bama this week than last week. 

    -Everyone is predicting a big win for Nebraska versus CU. I'm preparing for the inevitable CU absurd victory and for the "Coach Prime" hype to erupt all over again. 

    -OU continues to really test themselves in the non-con with a very manly match-up against UH. Right. Fucking pathetic. They're certainly going to be fully prepped when Tennessee comes to town. 

    -Upset alert feels real in the App State @ Clemson game. I don't say that just because App State has played the role of giant killer historically. They're simply also supposed to be a top G5 team this year. Beyond that, I don't really see what merits the notion that Clemson is just going to throw their hats on the field and get the W. 

    -Boise State @ Oregon late is another one that suddenly looks worthy of a watch. Oregon couldn't get out of their own way last week. Have they cleaned that up? 

    Why should we take Georgia Tech seriously given how bad Florida St is? They’re too one dimensional

    I think Klubnik is mediocre and would fare better at a G5 also-ran with a decent developer of QBs. Garrett Gilbert did exactly that when he left Texas and it helped him eventually earn an NFL paycheck.

    If you think Klubnik is the worst P4 QB this year, you'll be relieved to know that that assessment is way off. He's for sure better than the following: McNamara (Iowa), Weigman (ATM), DJU (FSU), KJ Jefferson (UCF - this overrated bum has gotten worse every season of his career and continues to be touted), Daniels (Stan), and probably whoever is at Cal, Pitt and Indiana, at a minimum. Gun to my head, I probably take him over his Lake Travis enemy, Hudson Card, as well.

    Will Howard may not be trash, but he’s definitely not elite. I hope it costs Ohio St this season

    What I liked the best against CSU was the RZ effeciency. Quinn never showed that last year and if he did, we'd have put a 50 burger on Alabama. We left 2-3 TDs on the field with a bad RZ performance. I think if Quinn and the offense has turned that corner, we are going to put a big number on Michigan. Hell, we didn't even try to get the ball to Niblack or Bolden. We can send waves of elite skill position talent at defenses. This is a big game for our IOL to show if they have a shot at the NFL.

    The point about Niblack is a good one. If we held back anything on offense, it’s not using Niblack. Bolden too, but we have speed in multiple spots

    very, very funny after all the howling at the committee and alleged courting the Saudis…

    Username checks out 

  5. This is malpractice from Norvell by not putting in another QB. Then again, maybe he’s going full Jimbo – mailing it in to force the buyout money

    Yeah d looks salty but coverage and run d look better than the pass rush. Not seeing a whole lot there but admittedly not able to watch for pressures but haven’t seen many qb hits and no sacks. Would love to see the stats.

    Broughton did a swim move and deflected a pass back in the QB’s face in the 2nd quarter. Yes, pigs are flying
