DOOK. vs. uva

I just tuned in. uva had the ball. Beau missed an open receiver, had a pass batted down at the line of scrimmage, and fumbled the ball with DOOK. recovering. In the midst of that mess, he did run for 16 yards and a 1st down. Maybe Beau should just try to get the runs.

ciggie back to jmu? Chesney?

Appalachian State hands James Madison first loss of season

James London kicked a 40-yard field goal in overtime to give Appalachian State the win Thursday night and leave just five unbeaten teams in the FBS.

Manny’s hair looks great.

Beau picked on 4th down. Horrible throw. DOOK. wins.

Manny getting it done. Nice win.

Tony Elliott really taking a step back this year but Eli Drinkwitz had the same issue with the same QB. You'd think coaches would learn.

Still unimpressed with Manny as a HC though I do think he's doing enough someone will gamble on him. Hopefully they beat Miami in a few weeks.

Some coaches are really good offensive or defensive coordinators, but they just can’t become successful head coaches.

How was the “team” down the road ranked? duh u is wiping their a$$es with them today.

 

[KingLando]

The early games have been meh
LSU destroying Auburn on the road (Auburn's win last week still doesn't make any sense)
Miami embarrassing Pitt
Northwestern embarrassing Rutgers (they're about to be 6-1 unless something crazy happens)
Cincinnati all over an overrated Texas Tech team as well

Michigan hanging around with Indiana. Michigan's defense is better than people acknowledge. We'll see if Cignetti can avoid Ohio State beating them twice.

they were ranked because Franklin couldn't beat Pitt's backup QB
Pitt wasn't bad with their starter but Pitt managing to beat Va Tech was enough to let them sneak into the rankings
Miami is #1--that score isn't surprising

Pitt’s season effectively ended when their starting qb went out for the season; that garbage program has several more losses coming this season. I would think that even Pitt might think that they need a coaching change soon.

IU is going nowhere with this qb. Oh well, when you bring in a new free agent qb every season, not all of them are going to win the Heisman.

They still might make the playoff but, agreed, I can't see him winning a title.

The only reason that they’ll make the playoffs this season is because most of the Big 10 is so down. They can’t even put away this garbage Michigan team whose only offense comes from the other team’s bad offense.

Michigan isn't as bad as people think
Underwood was garbage and they'll need to be patient with Carr but Michigan can beat anyone other than Ohio State...like you said...the Big Ten is down. It's Ohio State then your pick with UCLA Indiana Iowa and Northwestern. But Michigan and USC are right behind them IMO.

I think that USC will win next week if they don’t suffer any catastrophic injuries tonight.

Miami is chimping the commode known as Pitt!!!!!

Wahahahahaha...!!!!!!

Maybe--I want to see what they do against a mediocre Wisconsin first. I don't really have confidence in either team

Cignetti should have called a timeout after the sack
I realize the risk with Michigan having three timeouts but if they missed this FG are you really worried about them scoring in 8 or so seconds
Not even sure who to root for at this point lol

Indiana does not deserve to win. They've been outplayed and outcoached today

Michigan's play calling in OT was, at best, questionable
Indiana survives
