***2024 CFB Week 3 Games Thread***

Fox just showed Proctor celebrating after the TD. Waiting for Heinrich’s to go on KXNO.

What’s going on in the Texas tech game. Just turned it on and see they scored 52 in a half. Is North Texas just that bad?

 

[Kinch]

And to think Iowa fans want to ditch the Cy-Hawk series to play Alabama.

Florida State being bad will just make it more entertaining to watch them walk around trying to make the case that they are too good for the ACC.

 

[ClubCy]

It’s wild what a fluke qb injury has done to FSU program in the past 10 months. They are spiraling.

Since we don't play this week, I am a Boston College Eagle this weekend.

Also bama losing without saban breaks up their dominance and makes for better cfb. Wisconsin isn’t very good though so doubt it happens

I actually think Bama is going to be better without Saban. The offense will be way more diverse, the defense we will have to see but they seem loaded on both sides, just very young.

As far as the SEC being overrated. Well the bottom half is but the top half is loaded. Georgia, Bama and a few others.

I’m a big Troy fan this week

One of spartys few projected wins this year got a lot harder

Joe Labas-led CMU keeping it close at the half vs Illinois. Former Hok QB is completing 60% of his passes vs a B1G defense. Wonder why the Brain (and Papa Freerents) kept him on the bench?

BC ahead of Misery by 11.

I……don’t know if that’s possible.

 

[WartburgClone]

Isn't that a penalty?

 

[KidSilverhair]

Isn't that a penalty?

I think ”vaulting” is a penalty (it definitely is if a teammate helps lift you), like going cleanly over the blocker - simply “leaping” where your lower body is still in contact with the blocker is okay. I think.

Now THIS is a hot take.

I'm obviously making up a narrative here, but as much as FSU's playoff snub sucked and the decision to just say F it against Georgia was somewhat understandable, did it just show everyone that it's fine to give up when things suck? Because this team just looks broken and can't do anything right. They obviously have some talent issues and DJU has clearly demonstrated he's not a CFP level QB, but come on, this is something else.

 

[CychiatricWard]

I'm torn on Wiscy & Alabama. Ultimately I want Alabama to win today (I just threw up in my mouth) because, if Bucky has an upset win, this will just strengthen the perception - and continued over-hyping - of the B1G. I think Alabama, going forward, will naturally take a step or two backward - don't need for it to happen against a mediocre B1G team.

I don’t know if Bama will. Kalen Deboer is an excellent coach.

 

[Drew0311]

Now THIS is a hot take.

I’m a Bama fan. Love Saban but he left wins on the table. He is basically Kirk Ferentz but with ultra talent. If the new guy can do what he did at Washington while having the talent he can get at Bama. I think we are gonna see Bama really do damage over the next ten years.

 

[FerShizzle]

This FSU defense is not interested in tackling. Zero flow to the ball. Lots of standing and watching.

A Memphis win today would be fun

Couple it with a Tulane win over Oklahoma later and it could be a banner day for the AAC.

UTSA plays Texas also but I can’t see an upset there.
