Saturday games of interest
- Thread starter bdgan
- Start date
No doubt, the home team is now 12-4 in these long-travel games with the former PAC12 teams (a similar lopsided advantage for home team is playing out in the ACC with the former PAC12 teams there). The only visiting team wins are PSU's win @USC, Oregon's yesterday @Purdue, Indiana's and Minny's wins @UCLA.
Change topic. Carson Beck, UGA QB has now killed two of their droves in the 1st qtr by throwing INTs, though the 2nd one was a tipped ball. UGA was running the ball well on this 2nd drive and then he NT inside the Texas 10.
Allar's better than Beck--I think NFL scouts will see that as well
Beck's definitely not on his game today--again
I can't bear to watch any more, but MSU is hanging in with Iowa. Sell out to stop the Iowa running game, they just don't have a lot going on offensively. Just saw a really ugly hip-drop tackle by Iowa trying to injure the MSU quarterback. They do seem to play for injuries.
All of a sudden our win over USC looks unimpressive.
- USC CBs couldn't shed blocks to make tackles on WR screens.
- USC defenders didn't wrap up on their tackles.
- USC passes were short of the 1st down which allowed the clock to run down. Poor clock management.
- The blocked FG didn't look like it was the kicker's fault. Maryland got ridiculous penetration.

Damn. Check Leinart’s and White’s Twitter accounts. (Nothing from Bush.)
Is Franklin our guy finally? Or are we going to hear CJF to USC crap again?
I hope not. Hard to see there being a much better job than here. I think PSU is a top 5-8 job; but have to pay top 5-8 $$$ then.
But if he would go, I want Manny.

They're a talent team--just not a good team. We saw them put together a half against us like they did against Wisconsin
Only once this year have they put together a complete game.
USC beat Wisconsin in LA - there is a world of difference between PSU traveling to Madison and beating them in their Homecoming game and Wisconsin traveling to LA and losing @USC.
That corner blitz was beautiful by UGA there. Ewers got up, which surprised me. Dawgs cash it in.
Every time there's a "Franklin to X" that just helps sell our program. He's not going to USC of all places.
I think right now Texas is having trouble adjusting to the UGA defensive speed.
Nobody is going to win at USC again until they close off Cali to poachers (Oregon, UGA, others cherry pick the talent) while getting the national studs as well. Coincidentally, USC's last great run (Sneaky Pete) involved a lot of illegal NIL type of payments (before it was legal).
I can't see Franklin leaving. PA guy. Rebuilt the team. Has stability.
I agree--unless he wants to leave for the NFL
I could also see him pulling a Tony Bennett (UVa) and retiring early though
Yeah, 10-0 UGA. We'll see if Sark can make adjustments to slow UGAs defense & DL pressure.
Big 10 middle is crazy. Iowa explodes with 40 vs Washington then looking like a scoreless 1st half tonight.
Michigan beating Sparty isn't a lock either and they probably need that game to finish at .500.
If he wants to tank Ewers draft stock a la Riley with the Williams supplants Rattler move from a couple seasons back.
Unless Ewers "reinjured his oblique". 😉
I'm a little surprised by Iowa being this bad against Michigan State--they haven't been great this year but they have losses to two top 10 teams and Michigan State, IMO, is about as bad as it gets in the Big Ten.
Okay--might have to go to Arch
Okay--might have to go to Arch
The "Ewers wasn't 100% so we made a change" sounds like it's forthcoming
He's a Michigan man. Certainly that breaks his widdle heart.
Oof. Ewers with a pick.
Hopefully Texas has a second half in this one like Georgia did against Bama because this screams blowout
As an Austin resident, I am loving this
UGA is a prime example of why I don't worry about anything other than winning. The 1 pt win vs Kentucky and the close loss to Bama and here they are up 17-zip on the team who supposedly had no flaws coming in to tonight's game.
Just. Win.
Just. Win.
It would be very tough for Sark to go to Arch because then he can't go back to Ewers if Arch does well
They have overwhelmed Texas @ the LOS offensively & defensively.
When the 4 man rush is beating your OL and then Kirby dials up a 6 or 7 man pressure and you get dropped, it might not matter who the QB is.
