The Official College Football thread

[Deutschbag]

So who out there is a college football fan?

The season is officially under way.

Wake Forest destroyed Baylor 41-13. This being the only top 25 game with WF ranked 21st.



Some good games this weekend. Glad football season is under way.

I will give my thoughts.

All the top 10 teams are good.

Especially USC, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Florida. Bascially the top 5


Michigan is in for a long season.

Alabama is going to surprise a few people.

LSU is good again.


My WSU Cougars are in for a long season.

But so are the Washington Huskies.

Any thoughts on dark horse teams?

I was in Ann Arbor for the first U of M game (i don't go there though) and I thought their offense was impotent. However their defense really turned it up in the second half. Utah is way better than people give them credit for. However, I still think a 7-8 win season would be a success. The years to come will be much better though, don't think this will last.

dark horse teams I would say ECU, BYU or Utah, maybe Fresno State

Gators & Canes primetime Saturday night, can't wait!





Go Gators!!!!!

My state disappointed the fuck out of me...UVA got bitch slapped by USC...VT got smoked by E.Carolina. That didnt take long...I'm done after the first week.

[holyrollers]

Unfortunately I can't watch my Huskies play.. but I hope they stop Temple as opposed to last year's controversial finish.

This Ohio St. vs. Ohio game is getting very interesting. I would love nothing more than to see the Buckeyes get beat...

I used to live in Ohio and I can't stand the OSU fans.

[Johnny Blazed]

2 hours till kickoff!!!!!!!



Go Gators!!!!!!!!!

[chreeschan]

What are everyone's thoughts on the USC/OSU game next week?

Personally, I think OSU is gonna get wrecked

[kbd]

oklahoma's got this shit.

[Tray Dub]

USC will dominate Ohio State.

Oregon is the fucking shit. We would've won the championship with Dixon (and the 5 or 6 other starters we lost through the season would've helped a lot, and the second and third string QB's we also lost by the time Dixon went down), but whatevs. This year, we're very good again, though we'll probly lose to USC and either Cal or ASU. But remember the ducks.

I got one for ya! My Florida State Seminoles.

The Noles opened up at home with a 69-0 win over Western Carolina. Drew Weatherford is a redshirt senior who started the past three seasons... but this year, he lost his job to two redshirt sophmores; Christian Ponder and D'Vontrey Richardson. Richardson has been described as the most athletic player on the team and according to head coach Bobby Bowden could play any position he wanted to. Ponder is nearly as mobile and altheletic and won the job based on more accurate passing.

After holding Western Carolina to a three-and-out on the first posession, Tony Carter (replacing the suspended Preston Parker) returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown. Christian Ponder went 11/17 and 196 yards and three touchdowns including a 54 yard TD pass to Greg Carr before coming out after the first drive of the second half. D'Vontrey Richardson, after rushing for a first down on his first play from scrimmage, ran for a 52 yard touchdown and a 7 yard touchdown following a Western Carolina fumble just seven seconds later. He threw 5/6 for 57 yards.

All in all, Florida State put up 561 yards of total offense including 290 on the ground. True freshman Jermaine Thomas ran for 91 yards including two TDs. The defense held Western Carolina to 176 total yards giving up only 57 on the ground.

Now, of course, this is just Western Carolina but you could not ask for a more impressive game out of the Seminoles. If they continue to play like this, Florida State will easily become a National Title contender within the coming weeks. We've got three quarterbacks who could start, two of whom are mobile one described as the most talented athlete on the team. We've got three running backs who could start and about five wide recievers that could play the one slot. Florida State is loaded! I would think the only two teams in the nation as talented would be USC and UF.

I will let you guys know after the Wake Forest game in two weeks if Florida State is back... for sure. But as of right now things are looking real good down here in Tally.

2008... the year of the Spear!
