That was an... interesting series for the Tennessee offense.
Yeah normally I like Heup's playcalling. It can be controversial but it's aggressive... that wasn't
Well fuck me
AAAHHHHHH IM GONNA THROW UP

This BYU - AZ game is pretty competitive, but BYU is about to make it not so
Lol @ Gus thinking BYU could kick a fg from their own 40
Now I'm wondering how high of elevation you would need to make it possible. Like, if Justin Tucker was on top of Mount Everest could it be done?
RRS is too stressful, so seeking brief reprieve in ^3^ Penn State at USC. This is a beautiful uniform combo.
Refs single-handedly deciding the game for Penn State in OT. Not calling TWO pass interference on them in OT on same drive. Just disgusting.
I, uh, did not know that the C doesn't have to line up at center and can snap on the end of the line and be an eligible receiver. That was a beautiful TD by Penn State's center there
^1^Texas v. ^20^ oklahoma
It's 2:38 PM in Dallas and ou still sucks
The roar of "ou sucks" chants is music to my ears. They are sucking a little more than I anticipated
I don't mind Horns-down as a hand-sign at all. Texas schools having hand-signs they're overly attached to is just kind of a thing, and it's ripe for mockery. Where it gets cringe is commissioning custom jewelry, like the OU staffer the broadcast just showed. Or maybe worse, if it's not custom, and you're literally putting money in the pocket of Roller-Derby UT.
Also, a team that fumbles shouldn't be allowed to benefit from the ball having rolled forward. Just feels bad, man.
I don't mind much either. Same thing with holstering the Texas Tech guns -- it's just having a bit of fun with the old SWC hand signs. But non-SWC teams doing the hand signs feels kind of lame
Yeah not a big fan of the "Vol" hand sign tbh
Fumble into the end zone to recover for a touchdown! Exactly how we drew it up. Not stressed about nearly causing a touchback at all, nope
Man OU really just refused to tackle for an entire series huh
Breakfast Taco UT finally starting to look decent.
RRS is always one of those "throw the records out" games. Neither team ever looks truly comfortable in Fair Park, but both of them are chock full of highly-recruited DFW kids trying to show each other up with a ton of friends and family there.
What's wrong with Ewers. He missed 2 wide-open receivers for sure TDs. Are you sure his injury wasn't to his head?
Looks like he's trying to play too quickly and is missing reads (probably doesn't want to take too many hits). I had a hunch he would be like this, but more so that Sark's aggressive play calling is not doing him any favors -- I usually love that, but this actually ticks me off a lot that he doesn't dial it back in situations like this where he should be just trying to ease Ewers in.
ou misses their field goal! The "yet to trail this season" streak lives on a little longer
Well, OU tried to give y'all chances, but Ewers looks really rusty.
Y'all always have sparklers on your flags?
SC QB can't count. Dude went for the TD 3x instead of the FG. That's an entirely winnable game he threw away, literally.
He's a kid isn't he?
Depends on perspective I guess. Yes, he is, even if he's over 18, he's young. Alternatively, no, he's over 18 and he's paid to do this now, and is a professional to a point. It's not the highest pro league, but it's near enough.
On the positive side, Gamecocks got a good young QB. If you can keep him there. He looks like a better passer than Milroe. Part of the growing pains!
I was in and out of the coverage, what year is he?
Man they almost had em. THAT woulda been a fun back to back leading into TSIO next week lol
I am so disappointed in that lmao. Blue balled to death
That last drive of Bama was perfect play calling protecting Milroe. They took away decision-making from him by calling runs and short passing game where passes were essentially run plays. The TD pass was a simple read, throw there if guy is open, otherwise run or toss the ball away. Gamecocks were lulled into sleep with repeated run plays and blew their coverage, gave up a TD.
I keep expecting Bama to play better defense, or to dominate lesser teams. Then it dawned on me. This isn't Saban's Bama. This team is just like DeBoer's Washington. Where every game is close. Where defense is leaky, and lets other teams get back into the game. There are few blow outs, even against weak teams. This is the new Bama. DeBoer's Bama.
Iowa is totally getting jobbed here. I know it's just 3 pts but that was not a field goal! I absolutely cannot believe the ref said it was good. Honestly he should be suspended
Lol, and a few minutes later Iowa has a nearly identical borderline FG kind of negating UW's earlier one.
EXTEND YOUR FIELD GOAL POSTS, IOWA
The fall of Bama is amazing to watch
It's a different Bama. I think if you look at last year's Washington Huskies' season, then you have a better grasp of this year's Bama. They have enough talent to go to national championship. But because they never blow away teams they should, they will get ranked lower and lower, and get underestimated. Like last year's Washington team. Huskies were always ranked lower than their fans thought they should, even with better record. It wasn't until the final week or 2 the picture cleared, and they were in the final 4. Even then there were doubters, but their performance in the championship game showed they belonged.
SAFETY ON MILROE! Hell yeah, Gamecocks!
Fwiw, some people have taken to calling the UF-UT game the Third Saturday in September. I just call it the fucking florida game
I didn't even know we played it mostly on the same weekend. 🤷♀️ It's an important game, but unless we're both in top form, it's our #3 rivalry, and the LSU game is closing in.
Now, to be clear, Florida is no where within spitting distance of being close to top form. Billy doesn't even need to win today to fend off the reaper, just look like a competent college coach that might win this game in a year or two.
In fact, I really can't lose today. Either we win and give fans of Runaway-Truck-Ramp UT fits for another year, we lose close and look competent, or we lose big and get a head start on stealing somebody's coach.
What is dead may never die.
I didn't either, I just know that I can count the wins I've seen against florida on one hand. That's the only team that's true for. Even the other members of the "big 3" that we face every year were "easy wins" when I was young. This game has always been a special game to me, so I've always hated the gators with a passion. As far as the name goes, I don't really like it. It feels like people were just trying to match TSIO (which to be fair when the florida game started to really become a rivalry bama was not really an exciting game). Here's to a good one today
I heard that for the first time this morning and was very confused.
I love when matchups have names, but I never cared for the ones that are named after a specific date. Especially with all the changes recently in cfb (and the lack of reverence for history by TV execs), there are no guarantees that rivalries will continue to even be played, let alone occurring on a traditional day
