Notre Dame still had a shot at getting the stop inspite of this. :laugh:
Did you hear what Freeman said after the game? He said that they knew they only had 10 guys out there but didn't want to risk getting a penalty trying to get the 11th guy out there... because that half the distance to the goal really would have made a huge difference from inside the 1
 
Lance Leipold has Kansas 4-0 & probably gonna be ranked when today’s polls come out. He’s taken Kansas from the complete bottom of the P5 to closer to the middle being a legit threat for bowl eligibility now.

He might be the name on this year’s coaching carousel.
 
Both my teams are rolling so far, Penn State and Texas, partially b/c they have real QBs this year.

I think Penn State will be exposed on defense against a physical team, they're quick up front but not that big. I'd try to wear them down the first half then pass the second half.

Texas however may be for real, Howie is definitely gonna keep an eye on DT Murphy. They are deep enough to rotate on the DL, and with a top offense, that'll keep them in any game.
 


Still the guy I predicted when Jojo put me on the spot. But dang to do that against an Iowa Oline is bonkers. I don't think he'll go top 10 like Verse but probably top 15 like Brugler has him ranked.

This was so transparently deflective. I can’t imagine how anyone took that seriously, and it’s insulting that they thought anyone would buy it.

@JojoTheWhale Josh Pate from 247sports refers to this as the “Deion Tax”. The is the trade off for Deion bringing new viewers/interest to the sport. :laugh:

Patrick Payton looks like the FSU guy coming after Verse. He had some ridiculous flashes on Saturday.

They're threatened by this new model of a big face being a CEO and existing chiefly to suck in all the talent. EZ Mode recruiting that is probably hard for the normies to compete with, and they probably know it's bad for them if it expands. So they're gonna crowdsource this, I guess.

This chaos is delightful. I support both sides. I hope everyone succeeds.

Honestly I don’t think anybody else could really potentially pull it off but Deion. I can’t really think of any other former player that has that level of cult of personality.
 
It’s probably not gonna get easier for Colorado from here on out. The talent level from the opponents week to week is ratcheting up as you head into conference play. You have a team that likes to talk shit without the overall talent to back it up. You have a head coach that doesn’t really try publicly to be diplomatic about the overall talent level of his team.

This has potential to be a hilarious powder keg from a safe distance.

Back to back blowouts would be a downpour on the already lackluster parade

I'm rooting for everyone on both sides. It is the best way.
