(+) Yeah! (+)

The Third Saturday in October is here

ya go my Vols

Georgia/Ole Miss is pretty good

UAB fired Trent Dilfer and dropped Jon Kitna's terrible son as starting QB and suddenly they're very competitive against Memphis

UMass snatches defeat from the jaws of victory to avoid their first win of the season

Oregon St with a chance to get off the schneid tonight against Lafayette

They also apparently have Chris Mortensen's son as the interim coach

Suddenly the Ole Miss offense looks inept.

Only Alabama is allowed to beat Georgia, it seems

I mean is anyone surprised that Ole Miss would collapse against Georgia.

Generally speaking this is just a game they're not allowed to win tbqh.

They beat Georgia last year!

But winning at Athens is too tall of a task, looks like

Exactly. They've already hit their quota of wins against Georgia this decade.

Meanwhile Texas Tech is quietly laying a massive egg at ASU through three quarters.

Amazed that the Badgers kept TOSU to only 34 points! Was expecting it to be 59-0.

Hopefully Fickell is on his way out. These guys don't have any fight and that's on their coaching. We need to blow up the culture and fast.

Georgia should kick here. Even if Ole Miss actually wakes up and gets it, Georgia probably only needs like 20-30 seconds to get into range.

Grambling aside, Ohio State isn't putting up monstrous points on offense because we seem to deliberately slow the pace of play down. I'm sure we could score more, it's not like we are punting lots, but we seem content to just play at a slow pace. I had heard speculation that we were doing it to obscure a lot of our playbook for later in the year.

Obviously helps that our defense seems to be absolutely lockdown. I'll be interested to see what happens against better offenses because we are making everyone look bad but I don't think we have played a high end offense yet

Yeah, Ohio State seems to be playing the long game knowing they're going to be in the playoffs (and likely the Big Ten title game too), so they're saving their strength for those games.

Arizona State had an easy first down and the guy just stopped running forwards for no good reason, leading to a blocked punt.

Uh oh

And now Texas Tech will get the ball with a chance to win

And after a crappy punt and a good return, they start in the red zone lawl

Memphis did a tush push and got flagged for the false start you see on every one of them

Take notes, NFL.

Not surprised to see ASU choking. They had their chances, and then it looked like the guy refused to get a first down to avoid being hit.

Everything has gone to hell since that one play.

Scored too quickly...?

Memphis gets a TD, overturned to down at the 1.

False start

Get back to the 1

Half the team false starts on a tush push

Delay of game

Ball thrown out of bounds on 4th down

What a final sequence.

UAB becoming a quality win for Tennessee, you love to see it

Arizona State isn't done yet

Big 12 really cementing itself as a 1 bid team. BYU is the only undefeated and they're lucky to be that way. Their ranking and home underdog status to Utah says all you need to know.

USC and Notre Dame traded TDs.

For ND it was just "Love runs up the middle right through everyone" twice.

Arkansas refusing to go away against A&M

Arkansas refusing to go away against A&M

But their defense refuses to show up

Carr just threw one of the dumbest interceptions of the college football season.

Gets pressured at the USC 5 yard line, runs backwards THIRTY YARDS, then throws it directly to 3 USC players.

how is Texas only good against Oklahoma

And that's the end of the Vols.

Dunno why that was the playcall there. Disastrous outcome, and Bama gets the ball first after halftime, to boot. They score out of the gate and that's probably all she wrote.

Glanced at the box score, saw Tennessee on the 1 and thought oh I should switch to that. Find the channel it's on and its suddenly TD Alabama and they're up a ton and the game will go back off for me. Granted it's HT so wasn't staying on but you get the point

This is exactly what happened.

It's the only play I actually saw, and good chance it will be the only one I see.

Tennessee has been playing well, so I think they can come back if they don't let this shake them. Just every big play has gone against them so far.

Okay, 3-and-out to start the second half, so we can start to stem the bleeding, hopefully

Another ranked team's going to escape with an unimpressive win over a Wazzou team that just can't finish.

And it's not even a walkoff FG, it's an almost-walkoff safety.

Don't count us out yet

We signed up for 60

And now a big turnover on defense

Let's do it

Notre Dame keeps committing DPI and it's burning them.

Also, Kentucky could end up walking off Texas at this rate. Nevermind Kentucky did Kentucky things.

USC hits a 60 yard TD pass to go up by 3, ND counters with a kickoff return to go right back up by... 3 because of a missed PAT. A missed PAT might haunt them again. Why is this guy still the kicker?

Notre Dame drops a pass and misses a 25 yard FG.

If they survive this game they really have to do something about this kicker.

Kentucky just put up 30 yards on two plays to get into field goal range.

This could go to a billion OTs or end in one, it's anyone's guess!

..But why did they kick it with 15 seconds left?

Also USC hit another 50 yard pass and immediately turned it over the play after. Weird game.

Texas looks like they'll barely escape against maybe the worst team in the SEC

Actually, not so fast! Kentucky just kicked a tying FG, so we're probably headed to OT barring something weird.

It's going to OT barring something kooky. Kentucky just ran right through the Texas defense in 30 seconds.

Texas and Penn State keep one-upping each other for the biggest bust award.

Kentucky starts OT with a 22 yard rush and can't score.

Texas wins.

Alabama using the "just throw it deep and draw DPIs" offense to ice this game and it's working

USC is stopped on 4th and inches inside their own 45.

This might be it.

USC faked the sneak and it did not fool ND at all.

And Texas actually lost yards before winning the game on the FG. I thought they should just kick it on first down, too.

Arch and this offense got bailed out by everyone else my god.

Did anyone see the absolute HALL OF FAME Couging it WSU did? They were up 20-10 against Virginia, gave up a FG and a TD, and then on the ensuing kickoff after the TD made it a tie 20-20 game, a player fair caught the ball at the 1 yard line... the Cougs were then promptly tackled in the endzone for a game-winning safety and Virginia closed it out to win 22-20.
