2013 NCAA Football Thread

Home field is usually worth about 3 points.

 

I know, I'm just not sure even with that in mind.

 

I don't expect us to win that one. But...I'll still do the profile pic wager with Warputer if he wants to...

 

I don't know what to expect, this year has the feel of a couple years ago when we opened with Boise St at the dome.

 

Hey, things could always be worse. You lost by three points to a top 10 team. You weren't embarrassed on national TV by not being able to score on a Big 12 team and having your supposedly offensive minded coach fail to field a quality offense. I don't see why you're complaining.

 

Cuz national title chances BASICALLY got destroyed in the first game of the season

 

Instead of dwelling on one game, take the rest of your season one game at a time and see what happens. If Clemson runs the table, y'all win the rest of your regular season and take care of business in the SEC title, and nobody else is undefeated, and we might see a rematch. Just remember that your team could always be much worse.

Also, last year, y'all nearly played in the National title after losing early, could happen again.

 

I wouldn't say I'm complaining, just disappointed. It has the same feel of a couple of years ago. I didn't see much that makes me feel good headed into the game next week. Our o line was supposed to be one of the best and got destroyed before heading into next weeks game with a even more talented defensive front.

We knew our d was suspect but thought our o would be strong enough to carry us enough to compete for the SEC or possibly the NC and now it looks like we could start the year 0-2 or worse

Bottom line is I'm just a little disappointed after waiting the long off season, but maybe they'll surprise me. It is better to expect less I guess.

 

10 more hours

 

So Malcolm Mitchell tore his ACL on a touchdown celebration??

 

That's what they're saying. I watched the video replay and it looked as if he walked off the field as if nothing happened. During the game nothing was said other than he was out and had an ice pack on his knee.

But this is another reason for our disappointment for the season.

 

I don't expect us to win either....maybe it'll be 0 to 0. I'm not the typical "chicken fan" as Jeff calls us. I don't talk much shit because I'm not playing on the team.....so, I have no control over the outcome.

Same here.....we didn't look all that good on Thur. night, other than a few breakout plays that we got "lucky" on. And we usually don't play as well in hostile territory. The Bulldogs will be playing pissed off & the crowd will be loud as Hell. I'm not expecting positive things from us.

 

I need Georgia to win. I don't wanna have to play a severely pissed off Georgia team that's 0-2 in Athens

 

Oregon plays Virginia this week. Opening as a 23 1/2 pt favorite. We will see how high this gets by the end of the week. But I am thinking it'll end up being a 29 1/2 pt game by the time it's all said and done.

Virginia, from what I can tell, has no passing (114 yards?) no rushing (109 total) and a mediocre at best defense.

 

Yea. Landed funny when he came down from chest bumping Gurley after his TD run. He was our big play threat, too. JSW will need to step up in that role now. I don't think Bennett is fast enough or explosive enough to stretch the field.

 

Here's the video. It really looks like it happens when he goes to jump instead of when he comes down, to me.
