Iowa defense with a lot of atypical poor tackling to open this game with Washington.

Another 2 time zone jump game.

Blocked FG. 0-0. Washington still doesn't have a kicker.

Bama up 7-0 on USCe.

 

[fastlax16]

Looked like a fumble to me.

 

[lazydave841]

Iowa with a good drive there. Up 7-0 after the review went in their favor.

 

[Jerry]

Wisconsin up 14 on the road against 1-loss Rutgers. That game in Madison in a couple weeks is not going to be easy.

 

[lazydave841]

Iowa up 10-7 2 minute time out before the half.

Bama 14-7.

Bama misses Saban. After the Vandy loss this is pathetic

SouthCarolina is a decent team. They have a tough schedule but so far have been resilient - but lose.

So Ole Miss won a scrimmage...cool

Watched about 10 minutes of Wisc and Rutgers as penance for something. Both teams are terrible - slow and sloppy.

 

[lazydave841]

Guess next week, new cameras coming. Lol

 

[GregInPitt]

Washington defense not doing a great job stopping the Iowa running game. That bodes well for PSU.....

How's the new Wisky QB look?

I just saw a lot of check downs and drops. It was brutal.

 

[LandoComando]

Washington is tough to figure out this year--they somehow gave up 20 to Iowa in a half today
Michigan better hope Portnoy is really willing to buy them a QB next year

Road games, but Huskies are just bizarre. Lose to Rutgers. Beat Michigan. Iowa controlling them.

 

[lazydave841]

South Carolina takes the lead. 8 minute drive coming out of the half.

 

[LandoComando]

DeBoer might be regretting taking the Bama job right about now--that seat is going to get hot real quick

 

[GregInPitt]

Doesn't Bama have one of the two most talented rosters in college football???

As I expected, these West Coast teams just aren’t as good when they have to make multiple trips East; the constant travel just takes a lot of you.

 

[LandoComando]

They do--Vandy and now SCar are simply beating them in the trenches
It's one thing to lose (possibly lose) but there's zero fight in Bama

 

[lazydave841]

Possibly but there was a lot of roster turnover when Saban walked. They lost more talent than they brought in, best I remember, but they lost The Way Things Are Done, which hurts more than anything.

That and the physical style of play in our conference. So far the four West Coast additions don't seem to be holding up very well to that kind of football. I think a lot of people wondered whether they could.

Joel Klatt did an analysis last week of Alabama and said its defense was terribly coached. That players were not filling the gaps well. Also, said the same thing about USC and Michigan defenses.

Adding teams from the west coast is a disaster. It's only going to get worse.
There are plenty of great teams in the east to add.

[Jerry]

Rooting hard for the Gamecocks to pull this off. Take Alabama down another notch.

Wisconsin now 3 touchdowns up on Rutgers.

The definitely aren't filling gaps--they better figure it out real soon

Alabama just gave the flash in the pan Washington coach a big retirement gift.

I personally would have preferred raiding the ACC to get some of our Eastern friends back from the old days.

So far, out of the six West Coast teams that joined the Big 10 and ACC, they’ve won a combined one conference game when they had to travel East, and that was Stanford beating Syracuse; Cal won at Auburn but lost at terrible FSU.

 

[LandoComando]

The Big Ten should have gone after Texas and OU
But the ACC teams add nothing aside from arguably UNC and UVa
USC/Oregon/UCLA/Washington is obviously the right decision

Maybe that's why McAfee referred to them as the Huckin Fuskies.

You say some really stupid $hit.

How?
Who do you think adds value to the Big Ten from the ACC?
You all have to get over "Penn State used to play Syracuse and Pitt"
The SEC nor the Big Ten are chasing Clemson or FSU. UNC is the ACC's biggest prize which isn't close to Texas, OU, USC or Oregon

The entire ACC would add value to the Big Ten.

Definitely two of the wealthiest public Universities in the country with UVA and North Carolina. Not "arguably".

The reason the Big Ten went to Washington is because neither is interested in the Big Ten.
Same reason we took Maryland.

You're so naive regarding the top east coast schools and merit this isn't worth continuing.

I said UNC/UVa--the rest don't add anything to the SEC or Big Ten
They added Washington to pair with Oregon to give us a pod in the west
I'm not naive about anything here. You're going to be very confused when expansion continues other than UVa/UNC--which again is what I said

Maybe, but you can count on Lando to continue it...

 

[mhlarch]

I never understood the attraction of UNC and UVa to the B10. IMO very boring football programs. Of course UNC adds in bball.

 

[LandoComando]

Bama was in trouble until SCar decided it wanted to let them back in the game...still might be
