Nebraska vs UTEP

That Raiola pass gives me hope. The penalties to set up 2nd and 30 do not.

[-] orangeNgreen@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

I was expecting some more scoring out of the Georgia/Clemson game.

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 2 months ago

Makes sense though, with how UGA is built defensively and how Clemson has, like, 0 receivers

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I would say were safe from a potential riot this year. Rest easy Knox Vegas

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

We got BRUUUUUUU on O and BOOOOOOO on D!

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

OHMYGOD, 3 & out, fucking fire Heupel

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Non ironically though, I love Heup. Just called time out to get the ball back with just under 2 minutes in the first half while up 45-0. Most coaches would let the Mocs burn clock right there

Also no offense, because I know it's harder to do everything with a rush breathing down your neck. But the Mocs need a new punter

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Getting the backups some reps, ya love to see it

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

lmao, blocked punt to seal it (implying it wasn't already sealed)

The mercy rule was invoked in the Auburn vs. Alabama A&M game. Last two quarters will be 10 minutes each. Tigers were up 52-3 at the half.

I didn't even know college football had a mercy rule...

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I wonder what the exact rule is, Vols were up 48-0 at half and I don't think we employed any such rule

Edit: it seems that both coaches have to agree to it, but it can happen at any point, see below:

  • The National Collegiate Athletic Association's mercy rule provides, "Any time during the game, the playing time of any remaining period or periods and the intermission between halves may be shortened by mutual agreement of the opposing head coaches and the referee." (NCAA Football Rule 3-2-2-a)

LOL, a'ight. I'm out. Too old to pretend there's value in watching an overmatched and undermotivated team. Billy better figure shit out.

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

At least TCU had a good one last night. And you've got the TN game to look forward to! (I will never believe we are gonna win that game any season until the clock shows :00s)

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Florida

Backup QB

Vols sweating profusely

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 2 months ago

Catching bits of this during the ad breaks in the Texas game, rooting for the Canes. But man, the new ABC score bug is hideous

fwiw I'm on your side for this one. idk so much about go Canes, but definitely don't go gators

[-] Oyml77@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago
[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yes! We are legion! Go Gators!

[-] orangeNgreen@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

Just once I want to see Miami live up to some preseason hype. Give me a good game, with good decision-making, big plays, and solid W!

Go Canes!

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Glad to see Baron balling out for the canes! He had a weird offseason, but he's still a VFL in my book

I was thinking VA Tech might be a dark horse for the ACC this year, but seeing them down double digits to Vandy has me rethinking that...

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

Welp, Vandy missed the walk-off FG so now we have OT. Now I've gotta hunt for the Texas game...

Go Irish! Big road win though Freeman walks well for having such big balls.

[-] ryry1985@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It seems like the Iowa Hawkeyes are still struggling on the offensive line. This will make it difficult for the offense to be productive yet again...

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 2 months ago

I haven't caught any of that game, just seeing the box score, but I wonder if things are just a little off with Kirk Ferentz out. (Not like bringing him back next week is going to make the offense any better, though...)

Tailgating here at Willy B!! Go Cocks!

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

On lightning delay.

I hope they use this extra time to compose themselves and come out playing football 😐

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

We didn't. This is ROUGH.

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Go Cocks! Wasn't there just a concert at Willy B? Or maybe one coming up? I feel like there was a thread about something like that over on Vol Nation

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Hootie played at Colonial Life, but not at the stadium.

Last big thing here was the soccer match. Manchester vs Liverpool.

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The soccer match is what I was thinking of, thanks

Go Horns Go! Nice to see DKR totally full at the start of a cupcake game. Hope people stay the whole game

The ferret is drowning.

[-] Tujio@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

After years of the Pac12 screwing us by having late start times, I'm excited for the B1G to get us those sweet primetime slots, like

8PM PST? What the fuck!?!

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

I just flipped over to the Northwestern game and my goodness is the field they're using just picture perfect, right on the shore of Lake Michigan

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If the yellow line is accurate, that was 100% over.

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Shoulda given himself up at the 1...

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

I thought the same thing. Feels like too much time on the clock
