UCLA @ Cinci

Wagner @ UConn (go Wagner!)

Florida a&m @ UCF

FIU @ Tulane

Northern Colorado @ San Jose State

Cinci looking pretty solid

 

[TU_BLA]

Cincy looks like they stole our playbook

 

[TU_BLA]

Looks like Cincy is going to come away with a win. UCLA is dreadful on offense. Cincy looks like they use our playbook but the QB is allowed to throw downfield and they have a really nice TE.

Cincy should be ranked. They’re D is really active.

 

[TU_BLA]

Of course Cincy just lost their 2nd RB of the night to injury.

Sounds a lot like our offense. Watch for the fly sweep.

 

[JesseTU]

Either the Cincy D overcame their NFL losses, UCLA turned it over for no reason, or both?

Cincy looked solid.

UCF basically error free.

Tulane making it look easy too.

A lot of pundits are high on FIU. A few picked Tulane to lose. Tulane may be even better than they look.

Spavital is getting the business from A&M

And UCONN is worse than we all thought. Wagner is a pretty low-level FCS school predicted to finish 4th in the Northeast Conference.

Tulane will be decent. Don't put too much stock into beating a C-USA school.

UCF beat a really bad team and suffered a major injury to one of their DBs. This game doesn't do much to tell us who they actually are or how good they really are.

Cincy could shock the AAC.

San Jose looked OK against an FCS team.

BTW, Arkansas sucks again this year. I wish this TU team could play Arkansas this year.

Arkansas always sucks, but some years their better at football than others years. My oldest son had the nerve to take my 4 yr old grandson to Fayetteville today for indoctrination. Of course I told him he was going to hell and he should expect a family and children's services employee on his doorstep to investigate the abuse.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Wyoming is currently beating Mizzou 17-14 with 5 to go in the 2nd Qtr

Wyoming 27-17 at half. Missouri sucks.
SMU also losing to Arkansas St. in the 3rd

 

[TU1NNJ]

Wyoming takes down Mizzou. They will be a more difficult opponent than many think.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

SMU downs Arkansas State in Jonesboro too.

They sucked last year and shut TU out.

 

[HuffyCane]

They sucked last year and shut TU out.

I loved Chad when we had him. Loved that he left quickly. Like Monty, he doesn’t have what it takes to be a FBS coach. Clemson’s inherent advantages disguised his considerable deficiencies.

 

[mcane]

It was a amusing to see the stadium empty in Fyvlle when PSU scored to pull within 7 at 5 minutes. Apparently, the Hog fans had decided that a 14 point lead in the 4th was enough (it was, barely). Or, they had just gotten tired of watching sorry offense.
Chad and Ben Hicks - Ark is now a bad version of SMU.

 

[TU 1978]

Kitty is sucking in Norman right now.

 

[rusty-c]

Kitty is sucking in Norman right now.

Not thinking that Kitty is sucking, thy've obviously got some talent. Oklahoma is just flat out handing their asses to them, I think the theme is likely to continue through the season to Gooner opponents. Sooners need to clean up a few things (boneheaded penalties primarily), but they've got to be scaring the hell out of everyone else on their schedule. Grinch is the real deal at DC.

Edit: Their D needs to quit feeling so good about themselves and play the whole game. Grinch seems to be pretty old school, so I'd hate like hell to come to practice tomorrow. There will be some serious reminders distributed...

 

[HuffyCane]

It’s been 10 years since OU looked this good, close to 20 really. And I’m including the Hurts wobbly passes and that kicker in this assessment.

They may not be championship caliber where every player must be perfect on every play, but they are sure as heck going to be entertaining.

That Haselwood kid is the stud daddy as a true freshman.

 

[TU 1978]

Kitty is overrated by the AAC writers. Watch and see.

 

[TU_BLA]

Kitty is overrated by the AAC writers. Watch and see.

Not so sure about that. They’re average on defense at best. They’ve got some lightning quick WRs. After they realized they play with the same ball as OU they settled down and started to play. Houston is going to put up a ton of points on just about everyone

And for everyone thinking OU is that special...they’re defense is the same old defense. Athletic QBs give them fits and they’re not smart enough to turn and find the ball.

 

[TU_BLA]

Did anyone bother looking at the Wyoming and Missouri box score? Wyoming has 92 yds passing. Completed 6 passes. Missouri had 3 TOs. Granted we take care of the ball like a 5 year old take care of something marked fragile, but I’m pretty sure our defense is good enough to stop them. Mizzou had 537 total yards.

The SEC sucks except for Bama and UGA. Every other team in that conference is trash. The ACC outside of Clemson sucks. PAC-12 is not better than the AAC. The B1G actually looks like they may have 2-3 legit CFP contenders. And the Big XII still doesn’t play any defense.

Point is, let pump the breaks on anointing Wyoming as the next kicker of our ***

Wasn’t saying they were going to kick our ***... just that they’re probably a better rushing team than Michigan State was. Their QB is extremely mobile and he can pass when he has to.

Our run defense is going to have to be lights out against them. Their defense is opportunistic and swarming but not unbeatable.
