Bama up 34-3. Looks like they won't cover.
Oregon puts 42 on Nebraska in the first half.
Actually not so shocking. It's Oregon. And Nebraska.

SC is looking pretty strong on their first drive.

The OU looks good. The Stanford not so much. Not running against Rice here.

The defense can't stop either Darnold or the running game. The offense is just too fucking predictable, which has consistently been Shaw's weakest point, especially in early season games. The only good thing is that Stanford can lose this game and still win the PAC12 north if they beat the Washington teams and Oregon. Maybe get another shot at SC in the CCG.

That was a horrible no call on the DPI. Should have been 1st and goal from the 2. But no worries they just scored.
Rape U just got beat by UTSA to fall to 0-2. Haha.

It's raining in Corvallis so maybe it is raining in other parts of the state which may help with the fires.
Oh and Washington State fan has to get tired of 8:00pm kickoffs.

Very impressed with Oklahoma...going to be tough for any team to top that in terms of a non-con road win. That's about as good as it gets. Love these early season resume-building showdowns.
Tight game in South Bend but far from a classic. The four best games of the day were all in the primetime window. Didn't watch much of Clemson-Auburn. Caught some of USC-Stanford. TV was primarily on OSU-OU.
Michigan's defense looks solid but the offense is a work in progress. So many new starters plus Pep Hamilton taking over. No single standout on the offense so it'll have to be a group effort. Speight has been very meh.

Damn, I figured ATM would hang 75 on their FCS opponent after last week. But with 10 minutes to go in the game they were tied at 14. They won by 10. Oh boy.

Though they've only played BGSU and WMU so far, MSU's defense hasn't given up a touchdown yet. WMU's scores yesterday were on a kick return for a TD and a fumble return for a TD, both by the same guy (Darius Phillips). That dude is also a shutdown corner. Very, very good player whom the recruiting services whiffed on. MSU held WMU's rushing attack to 2.6 YPC, who ran all over USC. So, I'm encouraged so far. But the O-line still looks pretty shaky and they lack depth so they can't afford any injuries to key players. ND game will tell more.
Pretty damn surprised by that OSU-OU game. I wasn't able to watch it intently. You're just not used to seeing OSU get worked in big games, but there was Clemson in the playoffs and now this.

With the way their schedule sets up, OU is very likely a playoff team this year.
I expect tOSU to drop another game, maybe three, but then come on strong at the end like Meyer usually does. Not enough to make the CFP though.
