Id like to see it because I like upsets' date=' except for when it involves my team.[/quote']

 

Me too..

 

But for some reason I really, really hate TB, so I want them to lose bad.

This game is offense crazy, and there havent even been that many passing plays...Ryan Matthews (who also has 3 of Fresno's TDs) and Boise States RB are having a field day...

[Jasonbay44]

Every time Fresno state scores, Boise State answers back.

and Vice Versa

VT vs. Nebraska should be a good game today. Hopefully Nebraska will shut up all these obnoxious VT fans.

A lot of people put BC as the bottom of the barrel in the ACC this year, but I just have to disagree. They can absolutely win this conference. I've been to a good amount of practices, went to both games so far - and yes, I know they played Northeastern and Kent State (but they kicked the mother loving s*** out of both teams like they should have) - and I must say Justin Tuggle at QB is looking quite good. He has a good amount of mobility and can HEAVE that ball. Almost every pass he has made hasn't even come close to being picked off, and he hasn't made any poor decisions. He only puts the ball where his receiver can catch it. He reminds me a bit of Tyrod Taylor, except a tad slower, but with a much more accurate/powerful arm.

 

Now, I'm going to wait until after today against Clemson to see what's up, but I do expect BC to kick their s*** in. Since they play in the ACC Atlantic (which is nothing compared to the Coastal, which includes Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia Tech), I can definitely see us making a third straight trip to the ACC title game.

 

Their running game has only improved since Montel Harris and Josh Haden were true freshmen last year, and were absolutely ridiculous. It takes 3 defenders to bring Montel down every time, and he'll always make 3 extra yards if he gets stuffed at the line.

 

Despite the loss of Brace, Raji, and Herzlich on defense, they still have the same defensive scheme that just shuts the other team down. Spaziani is now the head coach after Jags got the boot, and he has been the defensive coordinator throughout all these years that they've had ridiculous defenses. Now that he's at the head of the whole team now, I expect them to become a bit more of a defensive team with a much-improved offense over last season.

 

Say what you want, but I know their QB situation is better having suffered through a year of Chris f***ing Crane and Dominique Davis. Tuggle is ten times the player either one of those scrubs is, and we went to Tampa last year anyway.

 

LIKE I SAID, I know they've played s*** opponents, but they've done everything they've needed to against them. They've outscored opponents 88-7 in the first two games, but it was 68-0 in the first 5 quarters of the season. Kent State didn't score until the waning moments of the fourth quarter. I could have been unsatisfied with the wins, but I've never walked away from two games against s*** opponents with such confidence. I can't wait to see how this season plays out. BC has some huge games against Florida State at home in 2 weeks, @ Va Tech in 3 weeks, @ Notre Dame in 5 weeks, and home against North Carolina in 9 weeks. Those are all quality opponents, but I definitely think BC can beat each of them. We'll see.

Special teams touchdowns suck.

 

EDIT: Gunnell needs to f***ing hold onto that ball. The pass was a bit high, but it hit him in the hands and you can never allow yourself to tip the ball upwards. Goddamn it.

[The_Destroyah]

Special teams touchdowns suck.

 

Dont watch the highlight real from Boise St. @ Fresno St. then, I dont think there was one bad kickoff return in that game.

[schillingouttheks]

And BC picks it right back! Good f***ing defense. What a s***** pass though.

I only mean when they happen against my team. They suck when you're not benefiting from them.

[The_Destroyah]

who is BC playing?

[Jasonbay44]

Jahvid Best is a beast. He is probably only RB who will get Heisman consideration.

Yeah, its good to see a nice RB, there has been a lack of elite talent at RB the past couple of years, not saying there arent some great RBs out there but there hasnt been the plethora of talent you see in WR and QB.

[schillingouttheks]

I take it back. Our defense is looking fine, but our offense is pathetic.

 

We're playing Clemson, btw, T_D.

[Jasonbay44]

Yeah' date=' its good to see a nice RB, there has been a lack of elite talent at RB the past couple of years, not saying there arent some great RBs out there but there hasnt been the plethora of talent you see in WR and QB.[/quote']

 

Very true, there has been some good RB's, but there really hasn't been an elite Heisman consideration worthy RB since Reggie Bush. That being said, I think Best has a good shot at the Heisman, but it will very tough with all the great QB's he's going to be up against.

 

Anyway, so far today, Best has 100+ yards and 3 TD's and its only halftime.

 

The game itself is pretty close as well. #8 California is up 21-14 over Minnesota at halftime

[The_Destroyah]

yeah it's a good game, Minnesota has some pretty good WR's, I guess I didnt realize that...

[msubulldogs21]

Minnesota is not bad. When they got down 21-7 I thought they might fall out of it, but they're within a TD now and driving.

[The_Destroyah]

Minnesot vs. Cal is a tie ball game now.

[msubulldogs21]

Kentucky just went back up on Louisville 31-27 with 4:30 to play. What an exciting game.

[The_Destroyah]

That one was a hell of a game too, College Football is by far my favorite sport.

[yankees228]

Can Tenn. hang in there?

[suns]

Tenn has a chance.

[msubulldogs21]

Can Tenn. hang in there?

 

Maybe for about the first 5 minutes.

 

They are going to get ripped. I hope Florida hangs 60 on them.

Maybe, but the Tennessee defense looked pretty good during the first possession. I don't think Tennessee wins, but I wouldn't put it past Monte Kiffin to find a way to keep this game relatively close.

This is true. Their defense looks a lot better than last year. I'll be surprised if they move the ball well though.

[msubulldogs21]

There are so many good games on right now:

 

CBS: Florida vs Tennessee

NBC: Notre Dame vs Michigan State

ABC: Virginia Tech vs Nebraska

ESPN: Oregon vs Utah

ESPN2: Iowa vs Arizona

[RWTP24]

Ten. is hanging in there with Florida. LETS GO TEN!

[RWTP24]

F&ck! It is slipping away... I spoke to soon. lol

[RWTP24]

Hold on!

 

A fumble and a big stop.. Ten. is still alive. Ten. 13 vs FL 23 with 5mins left. Ten. has the ball.
