PSU has to turn this game around. It's weird how they're being shut out. Hunt is running well. Passing game is connecting for the most part. They hit midfield, and the end ensues. With some help from the officials.

Incidentally, you guys might have to deal with some strange behavior and excessive commentary from me today. Now that I live in northern Virginia, I'm missing a UVA home game for the first time in 5 years. Even though it's just Wyoming, it's still a big gaping hole. I wasn't planning on going to any games until Maryland in October, but I may have to go down for Western Michigan next week, just to get my fix.

Judging by last week's performance against Pitt and the first three quarters against Wyoming, you are probably better off not seeing a UVA game all year.

 

That Drew Stanton as a sleeper Heisman candidate is done as after struggling against Idaho last week (who's getting pummeled by Wazzu at the moment, so much for my "maybe they'll be a factor in the WAC this year" comment) the Spartans are now struggling against Eastern Michigan, up just 24-20 in the 3rd.

Notre Dame scores again. This is turning into a slaughter--I was expecting something more along the lines of a 10-point win. Great slow-man scramble up the middle by Morelli on that last play, though.

 

Syracuse is a miserable, miserable team. With Drew Tate out, Iowa's backup QB has thrown 4 interceptions...and Iowa's still up 10-7 entering the 4th quarter.

I love Charlie Weis. The guy has balls. Fake punt. Going for it on 4th and goal. Nice to see a coach who actually has confidence.

Now maybe OU can figure it out for a whole game against Oregon.

 

The problem with Peterson winning the Heisman appears to be getting yards. He can't get any because there's always 8-9 guys on the line!

Would YOU defend the pass first if you were a coach trying to stop Oklahoma?

BC/Clemson game has been very good. Both will be contenders for the Atlantic Division title if they maintain this level of play, but I still think FSU has the edge. NC State, after losing to Akron at home, is certifiably chump change.

 

I can rest easy tonight, not because UVA beat Wyoming 13-12 in OT on a missed extra point, but because shitty quarterback Christian Olsen's time is done after backup Kevin McCabe gets it done. What a ridiculous, ridiculous game. At least we didn't get Akron'd.

Buffalo leads 27-20 at Bowling Green. If this holds, it's one of the biggest upsets of the year.

There's already been one upset in the MAC today, Ohio goes on the road and beats conference favorite Northern Illinois 35-23.

A 17-point win over a passable BCS-conference team is fine. A lot better than a win in OT over the worst major team in the country. If Iowa can even get that.

 

2OTs at that.

 

Well it would've been 24 but it was a garbage time TD from Washington. The OU defense was like "These guys are still playing?" and Washington scored quickly. Peterson did a nice job padding his Heisman resume though.

When was the last time Buffalo was 2-0?

 

Never in their short 1-A days. They've only won 2 games in season once. Unfortunately, UB has a very tough schedule after this game. Games at BC, Wisconsin and Auburn. :(

The "This will be a blowout eventually but still an interesting score at the moment": Troy 3, Florida State 0; 4:38 2nd

 

And Syracuse shows why they are Syracuse. Seven plays at the goaline, no touchdown. Wow.

Geez, how does Iowa get so close with shitty Syracuse. Meep. So, they'll be undefeated for the OSU game, and get stomped. Yay.

I thought they weren't allowed to switch games to show extra coverage at the end.

 

It's over, anyway. BC beat Clemson 34-33 in an amazing 2OT game. Clemson had an extra point blocked in the second OT, which turned out to be the difference.
