    Moseyed back to watch some of the Michigan game. Looks like they finally benched Underwood and learned how to score on offense. About time

    I haven’t watched any WVU games yet this season, but the live box scores have been highly entertaining. High-flying offense with terrible defense. Several back-and-forth games.

    Anybody watching an Ohio State at Indiana?

    Ryan Day tried five or six times to run it in at the goal line and could not. In the end they got the TD by throwing it, but they just aren’t a physical team and I don’t know why they try to act like they are in these situations (not like I’m complaining lol). The “born on third base” thing must still be getting to Day

    florida @ Texas

    If my UT can’t play the gators this year, I guess I can cheer for another Manning in orange to beat the gators

      I will be a Jones believer if he plays well after teams have a couple of games of film on him, but he was just the ticket today.

      Arch has strengths, but man I am just not sold he’s ever going to be a team elevator.

      Very defensive heavy game so far too. Both defenses have been very impressive. Or they were when I first started typing this sentence, Texas seems to have forgotten how to play defense ever since.

        If Arch figures it out, the Gators will be in trouble. The secondary is by far their weakest unit.

      I don’t know how the Gators are hanging in there, really, but I’ll take it. First drive in the second half will be huge.

        The backup QB is surprisingly good for a first start and a road environment like this. Good O-line, too. And my goodness y’all have a great punter

          That did go well, though afterwards maybe a little less impressive. After the last two weeks though, I’m just hoping not to jinx Florida into second half blowout loss.

          I do still feel like the main issue this year is roster construction, not coaching competence.

      I’m legitimately upset that I have to pull for Texas today, they’ve quickly become one of my more hated teams that ain’t rivals since they joined the SEC. It feels way dirtier than pulling for Tennnesse or LSU(I’m a UGA fan since we don’t have flair)

        I feel the same way on the other side. Had no opinion of Georgia before the 2019 Sugar Bowl, but something about that game rubbed me the wrong way. I think it was the sense of entitlement from the UGA fans and players, as if they deserved a playoff berth instead. (Fully aware that our fanbase and program also have those issues.)

        But since that game, y’all have had our number and picked up the titles to boot, so I don’t think Georgia has anything to worry about whenever they play Texas

          If yall beat Alabama we’ll get to find out in Atlanta it looks like

          Edit: Also I think our success against yall recently is just that Kirby has had Sarks number thus far, I ain’t complaining at all but if yall get someone else in there the money and talet yall can get worry me

        tbh, it still feels weird even caring about Texas (or Mizz or A&M or Oklahoma). I do not care for conference expansion

        Welp, he’s not. Even though the UF DB couldn’t haul it in, that was an awful decision

          Aaaaand then we turnover on downs, so from a field position standpoint it would have been better if the Gators got that INT

    10pm (CT) kickoff for Nebraska v Oregon. I’m ready. For the first quarter, then I’m probably falling asleep.
