No way in hell I was staying up late enough to watch the Texas game. Looks like a close loss, which is not bad for that team on the road late at night. Kinda what I expected more or less. What happened?

Texas' defense is, somewhat surprisingly, loving terrible. At the end of the game when it was 50-43 Cal, Cal broke a big run but their RB dropped it before he crossed the plane. While a Texas player picked it up in the end zone, it was ruled not to be an immediate recovery, and Cal kept the ball and just kneeled it. I think this is a drat silly ruling but Texas still would have had to drive 80 yards with no timeouts and little time left just to tie it so really they can't complain very loudly imo.

Yeah I had been reading from the GDT and comments in here that some kinda dumb thing happened at the end but lol @ 50 points on the board by Cal, can't explain that away by a few bad ref decisions.

Oh well, at least we kept it close. Kinda expected this game to be a loss.

Oh I should have mentioned a catch by Cal that kept an eventual TD drive (iirc) alive was not a catch and should have been reviewed, but was not. Texas can complain about that I think. Even so, fix that loving defense and it isn't an issue at all.

Florida looked dominant on defense, vanilla on offense (presumably trying to get Del Rio meaningful, high pressure reps), then probably lost him for Tennessee.

UF's starting QB has missed a game due to injury in every season for the past 6 years according to the twittersphere. I'm too lazy to fact check it, but that feels about right.

Either way, ugh.

Defense got repeatedly clowned by some walk-on WR. Just over and over again.

Texas losing sucks because it seems that Notre Dame is bad and that MSU isn't very good, either.

Even though it hurts our rankings (meaningless for Texas this season really), it's always good to watch ND lose, especially at home. Good stuff on MSU.

Tennessee is going to make a back-up look like word beaters after Saturday.

Seriously Tennessee has lost 3 of their 4 best players on D (only Barnett survives), their OL is trash, and the O has yet to find any rhythm this year. I don't think they have put together a good quarter even against a MAC team.

Tennessee looked better during the Dooley years than what I've seen in the first 3 games so far, and we have the most talent we've had since the Fulmer years. Worst 3-0 team.

Other than some dumb procedural penalties in a loud stadium Ohio State looked awesome and the marquee road game could have hardly gone any better. The new starting talent was fully on display and I have no questions at all about JT Barrett getting back on the field to lead an inexperienced offense. Defense looked good, made several huge plays and forced multiple mistakes from a Heisman votes caliber quarterback. Playoff teams are officially on notice.

Also the person who made it famous made it so because he fumbled it. Why is it so hard to make sure you're in the endzone first?

Anyway, MSU kicked rear end for three quarters yesterday and then gave me the worst John L PTSD flashbacks of my life, but at least they held on this time.

Well... I've watched FSU lose some games before, but that was pretty rough. The last time we got hosed like that was against Oregon, but that was just horrendous luck over and over and over, the gods finally turning against us after an entire season with us. But this? Man, this was just an abortion.

No part of the team looked good, everyone looked unprepared, both lines were loving terrible, etc. I have no idea if our offense would have had a chance or not normally because there were like 1-2 plays in the entire loving game that the Louisville DL didn't just blow up our OL right off the bat. Normally you can look for bright spots in losses but really this whole affair was dumpsterfire.jpg from beginning to end. I'm going to chalk it up to Lamar Jackson really is that good and enjoy the rest of the season.

I guess maybe we'll get a good episode out of the Showtime series at least. Hopefully we'll see some dudes step up after this and come back hard. If we go down south and lose to the USF Bulls I'll start to worry.

Good God did they ever. I felt like hiding under a table at the bar. Glad MSU pulled it out, and probably more glad that there's a teachable moment here about taking their foot off the gas.

Also, a ~Top 10 match-up between MSU and Wisconsin will be...at noon on BTN? How the gently caress did that happen?

They're not.

Well... the players are, but the offense is being horribly mismanaged which in turn stresses the defense to the point where they don't have the endurance to play 70+ plays a game and pee pee poo poo.
