First Saturday of College football

[KingLando]

Nothing too exciting but

UNC/TCU might be a decent game--can the Hoodie save his college coaching career? Noon, ESPN
First look at USC vs SJSU--Niumatalolo hasn't had much success at SJSU but it's year 3 so we';ll see 3pm, NBC
NCSU/UVa--some people probably want to see Beau play 3:30 pm, ESPN

I’ll watch Beau. Plus I’ve always liked Virginia, it’s a family school. (Others are VaTech, BC, Georgia Tech. Big family, I have an awesome group of cousins.)

Fixed. I suppose this will be the in-games thread?

Pro tip, gotta do my TiVo GO TROJANS

 

[LionJim]

UNC-TCU is being played in Dublin.

F me, the UNC QB Edwards is on his fourth P4 team. Wake, Maryland, Wisconsin, UNC.

basically been a 1 year hire everywhere. Got hurt immediately at Wisco and did nothing

It is funny watching a game and for about 60% of the players they say "the transfer from X"

He spent a couple years at Maryland, right?
Disappointing end to that drive for UNC

I’ll never get comfortable with it but I hope to eventually be able to just let it slide.

 

[LionJim]

Now, off to the gym! I have already taken in 1.5 soccer matches today. Even though I walked three miles this morning 6-7 hours in front of the tv is not gonna work for me. Later.

 

[LionJim]

I do love to see Belichick lose, here’s hoping. Later!!!!

Well Xavier had put together a very strong roster......they had to go somewhere if not starting for mighty Xavier.

Took me a while, attaboy.

 

[Aardvark86]

That’s a pretty good family.

 

[Midnighter]

And you guys said we’d lose to Northwestern….

 

[LionJim]

That’s a pretty good family.

We’re all tough, all fighters. We really are. We push each other, stand up for each other, are each other’s biggest cheerleaders and harshest critics.

 

[LionJim]

Pro tip: it’s okay to continue the game thread while I’m at the gym.

 

[LionJim]

UNC DL playing big boy football, you gotta appreciate that.

 

[Alphalion75]

Wow! Nova really gagged!

 

[KingLando]

Wow! Nova really gagged!

Yeah, they did--just a disaster

Tough loss for TCU and the Big XII--UNC's supposed to be one of the worst teams in the ACC

Gotta give UNC credit. Football isn't always a pretty game, UNC did what it needed to do. Some bad plays by TCU, though. That late hit, dang, just stupid football.

“The first sellout at Scott Stadium since 2008,” is what the captions said.

I find it odd they didn't sell out against Va Tech during almost 2 decades--that's at least 8 games

Virginia had 11 wins last year, too. Inexplicable.

 

[LionJim]

Virginia 3rd-and-7 and they set up a designated qb run. I guess they didn’t want to risk the 3 points. You gotta throw the ball sometime.

Not a vote of confidence for Beau’s passing ability.

He looked great on that QB run

Nobody did handoffs better than Pat Devlin.

 

[Bwifan]

Nobody did handoffs better than Pat Devlin.

Maybe Marsh Creek Eagle

 

[Efejle]

Nobody did handoffs better than Pat Devlin.

Maybe the best backup QB in PSU history actually...considering in the 80s you had the Lonergan brothers, who belonged on an intermural flag team, and let's not forget Iowa City in 2021, when the kid literally froze stiff on national television and couldn't get the team lined up correctly let alone execute a play.

 

[LionJim]

Three pass deflections against the NCSU QB so far…

I am good at counting!

 

[LionJim]

Is Bailey supposed to be this hotshot? He’s shown nothing today.

That's really not in their game plan apparently. 30 runs on 33 plays so far--but this is good coaching--let Beau do what he does best which isn't reading a defense from the pocket

What happened last year in Columbia was full stop coaching malpractice. This is how to run an offense with Beau. He is a running QB who can occasionally hit an open receiver. That's it.

 

[Efejle]

Oh by the way the SC glorifying train is in full effect on ESPN... they are handing him the Heisman after 30 minutes against San Jose St at home

 

[LionJim]

@BobPSU92 here is the thread.

 

[MtNittany]

Wow! Nova really gagged!

Yahoo reported that they lost twice. Once to William and again to Mary.

Dang, that’s some nice play calling there. Lovely football.
