What a glorious day for B1G Ten football.

The absolute embarrassment by Michigan takes the cake today, but the Buckeyes showing many glaring weaknesses will shut up the many Browns fans who are rabid Buckeye homers and get insufferable to listen to throughout the fall nice and early. No more title aspirations, no "if the Bucks are undefeated they are guaranteed a playoff spot!!!11" talk.

Win win today really.

Anyone who pays attention saw this coming. I mean, I root for my team to win and all, but fucks sake, let's be real.

At least the band got in a good halftime show before that scandal shuts their show down.

Here are provided seats of meditative joy, where shall rise again the destined reign of Troy.
I'm still in disbelief that we pulled out the win. For Stanford to make it into the red zone 9 times and come away with only 10 points...just unbelievable. Pretty sure my 20 month old is now terrified of football based on how much noise, jumping, and white guy dancing followed the sack/forced fumble at the end of the game.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I honestly don't know how to behave because VT's never gone on the road to a place like that and gotten a win of this caliber.

Oh nevermind, FEELS loving AWESOME.

oh hey predictably Texas's junior high linemen were able to do absolutely nothing against BYU but we kept running right into it anyways. we steadfastly refused to make any sort of downfield throw to back BYU off the line so this game was pretty academic from BYU's point of view. our defense did a pretty admirable job but there is only so much you can do when your run-oriented offense struggles to get back to the line of scrimmage.

oh almost forgot, our kicker sucks hard

pee pee doo doo texas is bad at football. our offensive line is probably a war crime.

Blake Sims is good(?) Not sure how he's going to do against an actual defense, but from what I saw Coker would poo poo his pants and throw a screen 20 rows into the seats, so

this is a very interesting Alabama team. We might(will) end up in some crazy games this year, pretty sure. The Florida game should be illuminating.

For the record, Central has been stuck as a middle-of-the-road MAC team at best for quite a while now. They're the best of the directionals and they're better than Miami and UMass but that's really not saying much at all.

People say we suck at sports but they don't understand
It's hard to catch with holes right through your hands
Virginia Tech pulled off arguably their biggest road win ever beating #8 Ohio State in Columbus. Michael Brewer continues to look increasingly competent at quarterback which is nice. The freshmen came through again this week, as well. Running game was a problem though. Deon Newsome finished as the leading rusher, off of jet sweeps. I think this was mostly because the running game wasn't working and the passing game was effective. Oh yeah a fullback was a giant key to the offense.

Defense was spectacular of course. Kendall Fuller going out was disappointing but Riley is a junior and had experience. He came through in a big way with the game-sealing pick-6. Still need to work on stopping explosive plays.

Joey Slye was fine, the field goal was a considerable distance and just didn't make it. Pretty excited that there was a win.

Well ASU's extremely young defense looked confused and like horse poo poo versus New Mexico's triple option in the 2nd quarter, but I can't complain too much about a 58-23 final.

SR QB Taylor Kelly has looked out of sorts through the 1st two games, his completion percentage is way down and he's scrambling a bit more than I'd like. UNM did a pretty good job of shutting down stud WR Jalen Strong, limiting him to 3 catches for 43 yards and 1 TD. DJ Foster was amazing at RB, 19 carries for 216 yards and a TD plus 3 catches for 54 yards.

I'm glad ASU has Colorado and a bye week before UCLA. This defense needs a ton of work and ASU is going to need to win a lot of shoot outs if they're going to win more than 8 games this year. Though through 1 and 1/2 games so far UCLA hasn't looked like world beaters either.

Michigan's kicker (Matt Wile) is terrible. I mean, really awful at what he does, which is kick field goals. He's missed like 5 in a row.

However, he is NOT a rapist, to the best of our knowledge, so we've got that going for us.

The Michigan offense didn't do him any favors by never ever entering the red zone.

Seriously, Ohio State losing makes up for a lot of how annoyed I am that Michigan is still terrible.

It's more frustrating because of all the hype about Nussmeier working with him and all the talk about how much he's learning and progressing.

Then he's dogshit in a high-pressure game.

We've got all season for him to keep learning, but we've seen this movie before enough times that we've got the ending figured out.

Honestly it's a shame to see them slip back. Brian Kelly and Butch Jones seemed to really give them some great momentum as a program and while that hasn't totally vanished, they just seem stuck in neutral now.

They started off pretty promising in the game, and then ND made some adjustments and we kept waiting for Michigan to adjust and it didn't happen. Then panic sets in and we get all those loving turnovers.

Same story, every year.

They should have just been chucking the ball to Funchess or getting Gardner out of the pocket.

The whole Devin Gardner being a pocket passer is the exact opposite of what's beaten Notre Dame in the past.
