Blah daytime but the Michigan v PSU Gabe could be fun, if not a PSU blowout.

Even more fun when it's a PSU blowout

Anyone else watching UNLV-Fresno State?

Fresno just executed the jet sweep as well as I’ve ever seen it done.

After knocking off Georgia last week, South Carolina tied vs Florida in the 3rd quarter.

AMS25 · Oct 19, 2019

Florida v. South Carolina is a good game. Wisconsin v. Illinois isn't bad either.

mauf · Oct 19, 2019

Help me understand this Miami turnover chain tradition — on a fumble, does the chain go to the guy who forced it or the guy who recovered it?

They were absolutely abused by the refs in the fourth quarter. Every ticky tack call went Florida's way on big plays and they missed every call against Florida.

Wisconsin is in trouble.

mauf · Oct 19, 2019

Illinois down 23-21 with the ball at the Wiscy 40, less than a minute to go. Illini were a 30-point underdog.

Nice call on this. There were a few underdogs hanging around when you posted this, but the others have fallen off. The Illini have not.

Upset of the year.

mauf · Oct 19, 2019

Miami’s kicking game is a shitshow. Three kicks of less than 35 yards missed today. If they lose to GT, that’s why.

shawnrbu · Oct 19, 2019

Miami needs to come up with a gimmick to give to the kicker when he actually makes a field goal.

mauf · Oct 19, 2019

Crazy ending in Miami. Correct call, but 2 or 3 inches is well within the margin of error even on a replay-assisted spot.

I thought that Vandy’s win over Missouri might have topped it, but Missouri was only a 21 point favorite.

johnmd20 · Oct 19, 2019

Mich 4th and 1 at PSU 45. They punt. It goes in the end zone. They gained 25 yards and gave up the ball. What a turd.

mattquinley · Oct 19, 2019

Hokies beat NC in 6 overtimes.

DeadlySplitter · Oct 19, 2019

Georgia couldn't score until mid-3rd quarter. They'll shut out Kentucky, but they're in trouble.

Don't get the Longhorn Network. Is Kansas playing well, or is the Texas D having a bad game?

Texas‘ defense is horribad and the offense is a shadow of what it should be.

Longest delayed TD call ever on the Michigan sneak.

They had to unpile everyone off of him.. not sure when his forward progress was stopped though or where the ball was during all of that

Kansas-Texas turned into a regular Big 12 shoot-out, didn't it? First time in awhile for Kansas, I imagine.

Did he wear glasses before Michigan? Or is he just trying to look like schembechler?

I think it’s more likely that he’s wearing them to appease Lloyd Braun. He looks exactly like Jerry in the episode with the gum.

BYU is kicking the everloving shit out of Boise

Just ran a double reverse flea flicker thing for TD

I was just coming to post this. #14 Boise is in big, big trouble

shawnrbu · Oct 20, 2019

Boise State misses Bachmeier. Tough to go on the road to BYU and win with a backup QB.

15 yard penalty for shushing the crowd. Sheesh.

Appalachian State might have a chance for a New Years 6 Bowl.

shawnrbu · Oct 20, 2019

BYU needs this game to end in the next 15 minutes.

BigMike · Oct 20, 2019

BYU gets a 4th down conversion deep in their own territory for the win

Linesman almost decided the game on the play before. As the previous series started with a kickoff into the endzone. Ball spots automatically on the 25. 3 plays run, ball is spotted 4 inches short of 35 yard line, they bring out the chains, and it shows first down (inexplicable). Anyway they challenge to spot, and it is moved back, then BYU gets the 4th down conversion.

shawnrbu · Oct 20, 2019

Interesting formation for BYU on the last QB sneak. 7 on the line tight and 3 behind the QB to push him in the back to make sure he gets the first.

luckiestman · Oct 20, 2019

I never got a good look at the second down play that got spotted short that lead to the 3rs and 4th down drama. Live I thought he made the first but didn’t see a replay.

I think you might be right, I never went back to it, but I remember thinking at the time, that it was the worst possible thing that could happen to BSU in that situation (him being marked short on 2nd)

So this was the difference in the game? Nice coverage

Michigan played one on one coverage almost all game and got away (for most of the second half) with it either because their pass rush got there or PSU's QB missed on his throws. On that particular play Michigan was caught with a safety on PSU's no. 1 receiver.. and he's really fast.

InstaFace · Oct 21, 2019

yeah the WR, Hamler, has like Tyreek Hill-level speed. That screenshot shows him having already caught the ball and the CB pull up, knowing he's beaten. The actual coverage wasn't piss-poor or blown, he was beat by a few steps, but Clifford (who's no world-beater as QB) absolutely put the deep ball on a dime. Stephon Gilmore would have had trouble covering that play 1:1, nevermind a Michigan safety who gave the WR a running head start.

SoxJox · Oct 21, 2019

He may not be, but with this game, he set a PSU record for most TD passes (16) through 7 games.

He's got a lot of room for growth and improvement, but there are a whole host of teams that would love their QB yo have this line - especially the INT number:


CMP	ATT	CMP%	YDS	AVG	TD	INT	LNG	RTG
116	184	63	1,742	9.5	16	2	72	169.1

canderson · Oct 21, 2019

I watched a good chunk of that Michigan-Penn State game and had no idea what Penn State was doing in the second half offensively. It made zero sense - and they let their best RB not even play until basically the final drive of the game.

Absolutely bizarre game management, which is a Franklin hallmark.

The funny thing is he's reportedly not even the fastest guy on the team. That would be walk-on special teams gunner Drew Hartlaub, who's been officially clocked at 4.25.

A passer rating of 169.1 out of a maximum of 158.3 seems pretty good, now that you mention it.
