Saturday Early Games Thread (Pitt-Tennessee / Oregon-OSU, etc.)

[lazydave841]

I noticed Minnesota scored as many points on Ohio St as they did on Miami. Of Ohio.
Found that interesting.

With the talent they have, things can change quickly, but many were scared to believe it and the Oregon game probably shows it better.

OSU is down compared to as good as they have been. Their defense is not very good. Their offense is loaded with talent, but isn't unstoppable.

Loving this down in Austin! @CentexLion @PSUSignore

Texas = all brakes, no gas

Haven’t listened to sports talk radio here in Austin for many years. May do it this week. Texas fans are probably the most delusional fans out there (along with Michigan).

Pitt Down Fast. 3 and out, -4 yards and punt blocked. Local fan boys picking them to win big on the road is a joke.

Not so fast

Final: 60 - 10.

3rd stringers played most of 2nd half.

Been watching Kent since 1985. They've never had talent in depth like this.

Sean. Lewis.

Guess who leads the nation in INT's (8)?

Same team is 2nd in nation in rushing yards.

Are they going to beat Iowa?

Nope. I hope they can score... and keep it semi-respectable.

I actually think KSU has a very good chance of upsetting Iowa...

Didn’t this loaded Kent State team just get crushed by A&M and only score 10 points?

It was a one-score game deep into the 3rd.

Kent was driving and intercepted by A&M for 85 yard pick 6.

This Saturday at Iowa is another battle of Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. The differences in resources, fan suppport, etc. are staggering. Last week at Kent, i'll bet attendance was ? 5000. I never expect Kent to win games vs. Power 5 opponents... i just root for them to play their best and hopefully make a decent showing.
