College Football Catch-All Thread

[Bigs23]

Why is that peculiar?

I think football at all levels have a rule that allows the refs to award points for an egregious penalty that serves no purpose but to prevent the other team from completing an obvious score. It's rare that a player/team does something clear cut enough to enforce such a rule, but I'm pretty positive it exists at all levels.

Right. What other ruling would they make?

How was that hit in the Penn State and Oregon game not targeting?

 

[EyeballKid]

Both PSU/Oregon and Bama/UGA living up to the hype.

Good grief, you could put that in the instructional video for refs on when to call targeting.

 

[SnoopRob]

Hooray for Oregon!

Stupid Bama.

The runner was no longer defenseless. Therefore the question is whether he used the crown of the helmet.

 

[HandsonFire]

Well, it is State.

Sweet that they probably had the first down on that last drive but the replay didn’t show it. I love it when they think they were robbed.

The runner was already down. And I don't think you have to use the crown if you strike the offensive player in the head that way.

Numbers 3, 4, 5 and 8 all beaten by lower ranked teams this weekend.

He brought that tackling technique with him from Chapel Hill.

So—are both UVA and FSU good teams? Or are they both standard mediocre ACC teams?

UVA has a pretty easy schedule from here on—they don’t play UM, GT, or Cuse. Will they drop a game or 2 against subpar conference teams?

What to make of FSU? Will they rebound or will they end up with 3-4 losses minimum?

Is anyone in the ACC good?

 

[Zoo_View]

You put students in the upper sections with no direct field access.

The Smith Center approach.

Rajun Cajuns 54-Marshall 51-couple OTS
That is a lot of points

 

[Mulberry Heel]

Not even a little. If we are gonna be horrible, at least they can join us.

Well, it looks as if, as usual, Doeren is down to one game to get back into the good graces of State fans and keep his job. And we all know what that game is. So I'm sure that however the rest of this season plays out for them, State will be well-prepared for their game with us and they'll probably put forth their best effort of the season, as they usually do. Doeren probably starts planning for the UNC game during the summer, as that game more or less guarantees his job security there. He's probably already been working on his trash-talking lines and insults if they win the game, as that also makes State fans giddy.

 

[C-Money]

App State looks bad, too.

 

[dukeman92]

Castellanos is awful.

 

[EyeballKid]

Castellanos is awful.

Miami’s D might have something to do with that.

Castellanos was #20 in the NCAA in QBR.

He’s crazy elusive, but UM was able to contain him for most of the game.

 

[EyeballKid]

I watched the Florida game and I understand what you see in them but I just dont share the enthusiasm

UF was ranked and just crushed #9 Texas today.
ND was ranked in the top 10 and looks like a solid top-20 team at a minimum.
USF was ranked and looks to be the top team in their conference and a strong contender for a playoff spot.

UM beat them all, and just beat #18 FSU. Shoulda been worse.

Any thoughts at this point? What ACC team do you see tripping them up?
