CFB 2023 Week 8: A thread that will not be mocked for its Caleb Williams takes

[JCizzle]

Is UVA tanking??? What the fuck is happening?

 

[AMS25]

Is UVA tanking??? What the fuck is happening?

UVA is winning with 2:30 left.

 

[canderson]

Then a 4 and out for UNC. This game is fun.

 

[JCizzle]

UVA might be able to just run this one out.

 

[canderson]

3rd and 4 to seal the game.

Efit: failed. UNC gets the ball with ~1:20 and no TOs.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Nobody Is open for UNC.

 

[8slim]

PICK! WIN! UVA!

 

[canderson]

INT

Virginia upsets UNC

 

[JCizzle]

Down goes UNC!

 

[shawnrbu]

Drake Maye was awful tonight.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Drake Maye was awful tonight.

Overrated

 

[Ale Xander]

What an epic pants shitting by UNC

that holding penalty on the TE nowhere near Maye when he threw that long TD was a killer

uVa’s first top 10’win on the road

Drake can forget theHeisman

 

[fiskful of dollars]

WAHOOOWAAA!!

 

[shawnrbu]

Leonard got his ankle snapped again.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Leonard got his ankle snapped again.

Better than his neck, which was a distinct possibility there.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Leonard got his ankle snapped again.

I don’t think so. I think his shin hit the DE’s coming through. I’m sure it hurts. But I don’t think it was twisted or rolled again.

 

[Ale Xander]

Leonard got his ankle snapped again.

Poor kid

Better QB than Maye imho if he had good ankles

 

[IdiotKicker]

Nope I take it back, rolled it a bit.

 

[AlNipper49]

Overrated

I kind of feel like his absolute biggest possible upside is current Daniel Jones

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Overrated

Do you think so? I haven't seen much of him, but he has good size and a strong arm. He wasn't overly accurate tonight.

 

[canderson]

Nm fake I had too much wine

 

[8slim]

Michigan State had an in-game trivia contest.

Nothing new there right? It’s a fun thing many places do,.

Well no one else would put up a picture of Hitler and ask where he was born. Sparty needs to be shit down for the 1,683rd reason.

This has to be fake, right?

Good lord

 

[canderson]

This has to be fake, right?

Indeed - didn’t realize it was a spoof Twitter account. Mea cupa

 

[luckiestman]

Stadium looks empty for mid game

 

[8slim]

Don’t blame the booze.

 

[Pandemonium67]

Caleb Williams looks mediocre too. USC hasn't scored since the 1st quarter, now near end of 3rd quarter.

edit: Then throws the kind of dime Mac never does.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He was mediocre last week against ND as well

 

[luckiestman]

Totally different offense for the Noles when Travis is running

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Indeed - didn’t realize it was a spoof Twitter account. Mea cupa

It seems real. Seeing apologies from MSU.

 

[luckiestman]

He was mediocre last week against ND as well

He looked a lot worse than mediocre against ND I thought. If you didn’t know his reputation you would have thought “this guy sucks”. Kids can have a bed game so no harm done but that was a bad performance:

 

[soxhop411]

This has to be fake, right?

No. Its not fake. They actually put that up on the scoreboard. And they finally released a statement blaming a “third party”.

[Pandemonium67]

They showed a stat showing that Williams has done very poorly against top competition, including 6/6 TDs/INTs and just over 50% completion.

 

[JCizzle]

Yep, he was really bad against ND. He seemingly threw more often with his feet parallel to the line rather than stepping into it.

 

[canderson]

It wasn’t fake!

Michigan State put up a trivia question about Hitler tonight. Jesus. Christ.

 

[Pandemonium67]

Austria!

What do I win?

 

[canderson]

Pick 6 for USC to cut it to 5.

 

[SLC Sox]

Utah has been waiting (impatiently) for Rising to come back but in the meantime the offense has started to finally come together. Don’t count them out of the Pac12 if they can hold on here.

 

[luckiestman]

If JT will run, the Noles can beat anyone. If not we have to grind it out

 

[JCizzle]

FSU seems to be looking pretty. Utah holds on and we have a great game next week vs Oregon. I’m not much of a gambler, but USC by 7 going into this game seemed way off to me.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Duke isn't nearly good enough without Leonard

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Caleb WYD?

 

[Pandemonium67]

Yeah, Caleb just dropped the ball in his windup on a crucial 3rd down deep in the RZ, down 8. Major fuckup.

 

[luckiestman]

His equity stake in the Pats keeps taking a hit.

 

[8slim]

Maybe shoulda let him score on that punt return. But probably not something a guys gonna do in real time.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Utah done effed up

 

[SLC Sox]

Damn I hate USC so much. That punt return is killer.

 

[canderson]

Let them score.

 

[Pandemonium67]

Wow, and Caleb takes it in himself. What a game this has become.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Utah's kicker is decent. They have a shot.
