Wow, I didn't think they'd actually overturn that.

This BYU SMU game is some ugly football.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

What an incredibly dumb play by SMU.

Both the guy for tossing it and the guy for calling for it

 

[LarryISU]

As often happens, turnovers are a huge factor hurting SMU, but BYU returns the favor. Neither team putting its best foot forward.

 

[ClonerJams]

BYU was at their best on offense with the trick plays. Let's see more of that

 

[ClonerJams]

Well I guess that's why you roll with Retzlaff. He's a threat with legs, good timing on the pitch.

@CyCoug Where are you at on Sitake? Reading cougarboard last year they were pretty down on him, but I know how message boards are.

Sooo glad they didn’t go with Bohanan*

* Like I suggested after the interception

I don’t know that he’s the best coach out there, but I’m not a big fan of short leashes. And not sure who they would get who is better.

 

[ClonerJams]

Boneheaded play there.

 

[ClonerJams]

Nice, good win Cougars. Big 12 represent. SMU fan base is insufferable.

 

[cyclonez7]

Why did BYU kneel with 20 seconds left on 3rd down and SMU didn't use their timeout?

 

[FerShizzle]

SMU could have forced a punt there? Why take the timeout to the locker room with you?

That was weird. Even the crowd kind of gasped and moaned. That’s the kind of thing that gets coaches fired.

 

[HouClone]

Another Big 12 win over the ACC, albeit new ACC teams.

FWIW, ESPN projected BYU finishing 12th of 16 in Big 12, SMU 5th of 16 in ACC. It had TCU 7 and Stanford 14, in respective leagues. B12 got both on the road, can't complain.

A LOT of available seats at this Northwestern Duke game.
It looks like a high school environment.

How is NW ever going to fill that new stadium?

I think the new one is only 35k. They've hit around there occasionally.

Other big 10 fans I imagine pad that a good amount.

Tickets are often very cheap and for free. When I had some friends there you just got in with a student id, no cost, not sure if that’s still in place

Having lived a few blocks from the lake in Chicago for five years…This NW temp stadium is easily going to be the coldest place in FBS with no wind protection off the lake come November.
