NCAA Football 2017-18 thread

Yay, controversy on the very first play. Taking forever to determine whether a hit was targeting or not.

Thankfully it was not. That would have just been ridiculous.

[Crissi]

That was the most ridiculous game of football I've ever watched. We'll be slaughtered by USC next week if we dont fix those mistakes.

A 30+ yard run on 3rd and 13. Great defense...

Also, Michigan's QB is bigger than their RB's.

I was only looking at scores, but it seemed like there was about three scores in the last two minutes.

pick six, 2 blocked FG's for TDs (1 per team), interceptions, penalties ruining TD drives, maryland losing half their team to injury...blaaaah

[Crissi]

and while some of that was the coaches fault (when your QB got sacked on 3 and 2, why go for 4th an 2?), so much of that was mental crap by the players that #FireHerman is incredibly premature by stupidly salty bandwagon fans

Franks got one chance to throw deep, and he dropped it in perfectly. After that, nothing but screens and failed runs, and nothing but 3rd and longs. Gonna be a long game if that's all it's gonna be.

Florida is gonna score more points on defense than offense. I guarantee it.

This game so far. Michigan is just DIRE on offense.

I figured they'd have some continuity there and that defense might have an issue or 2 with communication, but the offense has mostly just stunk.

I'm glad Harbaugh decided to go back to Wilton Speight. This opening drive shows he CAN do it, just needs to keep his head straight. Hopefully this also means Michigan can turn things around the rest of the game.

[Pendulous]

Welp, this season is gonna go a lot like last season. Hope our defense does the job while we decide who plays quarterback up until the bowl game.

Also, WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE FUMBLES???

Yeah, that Zaire guy definitely wasn't any kind of improvement to the guy that started for you. Backbreaking fumble in the endzone. Hope for you they figure something out.

Honestly, I agree with what these commentators said at the end. 1 game does not make a season.

Michigan definitely looked able on defense, but it seems the offense will continue to be a work in progress, hopefully they figure that out before we have the tough road games at Penn State and Wisconsin and The Game at Ann Arbor.

#1 Alabama against #3 FSU and NO ONE is chatting about it? You guys suck

So far it seems a bit of a feeling things out match before the heavy punches get thrown.

[Pendulous]

I'm here, I just haven't had anything to say yet (dunno where my friends are, usually watch Alabama games with them). Jalen Hurts is still inconsistent, but Bama just got a great stop on 4th down.

[xskarma]

Failed 4th and 2 by FSU, first punch seems to be Alabama. About midfield when they get ball back.

[Pendulous]

Francois gonna be scared to drop back by the end of this game.

I'm not so sure. He looks like a gamer. Finished that drive no issue. Alabama answered emphatically though. This might turn into one of th ebest games fo the season, and it's the first week-end!

Oh shit. I forgot. Alabama Offensive Coordinator is Brian Daboll, former Patriots assistant. Going to be quite interesting watching that Alabama offense with that in mind.

[Pendulous]

This might go better for Bama if Jalen Hurts realizes that Calvin Ridley isn't the only person on the field who is eligible to catch the ball.

[THE Bigzoman]

That was the most ridiculous game of football I've ever watched. We'll be slaughtered by USC next week if we dont fix those mistakes.

Iowa State>Texas

Bahhahahhahahahha

[Pendulous]

Hey, look, Alabama's offense is just as good as Florida's...

[xskarma]

This might go better for Bama if Jalen Hurts realizes that Calvin Ridley isn't the only person on the field who is eligible to catch the ball.

Or if his O-line actually had any ability to block.

Or if he actually didn't run at the first sign of trouble.

Alabama O is much like it was last year. They'll win on athleticism against lesser opponents, but against equal teams they seem simplistic and dare I say, bad.

This game.......

Yeah, FSU had that coming, can;t make that many mistakes on special teams and offense against Alabama and expect things to go well for you.

[Pendulous]

Aaand an INT. FSU looked so good in the first half, keeping the game close. Then just started to make so many mistakes.

By the way, I don't know who Liberty is, but they just beat Baylor.

And I STILL can't navigate ESPN's menus, they just don't fucking work on Firefox.

[Crissi]

AHAHAHAHA. That makes me feel better, Baylor lost to freaking Liberty. ahahahaha

(Liberty being that Jerry Fallwell super conservative college)

[draynay]

At least I only had to spend one week confused as to why Texas was in the top 25.
