Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: Philosophers on September 06, 2024, 08:01:47 PMHuge weekend (at least for me).

Michigan - Texas is a huge matchup.  Nobody is giving Michigan a chance and that is a mistake as I believe their D will keep s oring way down.  Can Michigan take advantage of shots?  I think they were holding back last week.  I expect a good, close game.

Watch Will Johnson at CB against Texas' Bond at WR. True lockdown boundary CB vs explosive WR.  He's been getting coached by Charles Woodson.  If we want a boundary CB, he's the one.

I am in Colombia at the moment and will be sure I can find a sports bar showing it.

I just turned it on.

No I agree, as a defensive unit the team is not good. I'd argue both Tennessee and Ole Miss have better dlines currently and outside Will Johnson Michigan's secondary has not looked good.

Lot of upsets on the table now.

Go Cuse!

Jolly,

As a NY state resident, I actually am a bit of a Cuse supporter. I'm not any sort of fanatic, but I generally pull for them.

I will say though, I feel like it's the same story every year. There is some enthusiasm about them early in the year, and they get off to a nice start record-wise and sometimes crack the top 25, and people get all excited. Then come some point in October, pretty much without fail, they finally have a legitimately tough game on the schedule, and it all comes crashing down...

The first time they've had a legit QB in years, and they have TE Gadson back (who just caught another TD, BTW). McCord has thrown for 368 yds and 4 TDs (0 int) with about 9 minutes left in the game. Cuse up 31-14.  And Georgia Tech is the team that kicked no. 10 Florida State's butt a few days ago. I think my enthusiasm is justified. But you're right about Cuse folding towards the end of the season. But this is a different team with a new coach and a friggin QB for a change

I just looked at their schedule. With a win today they can get to 5-0 for sure. It gets more challenging after that. If they get to 5-0, remain undefeated, and then start winning in places like NC St and BC, playoffs could start to become a conversation.

How's that Wink Martindale defense looking today?!!

LOL!!

The Big House is still packed with the home team down 31-6 with under 7 minutes to go in the game. Credit these fans for showing loyalty.

I see a fair amount of burnt orange in the stands. Usually when Michigan plays at home the visitors are only visible in a small section of the stadium.

I bailed on the UT/Umich game a while ago. Too many other interesting games. K State/Tulane is a good one. I'd love to see the upset here. This would be a huge win.

Cuse 2-0 after beating GT - McCord 4TDs, 386yds, 0int. Nice to see the Orange knock off a ranked team...especially a conference foe

I think Texas bailed on the game a while ago too. Have barely tried to score in a while

They have shown class in not bringing in Arch for mop-up duty against this opponent.

Arkansas - Ok State is a wild game, heading to OT

Penn St fell back to earth today.
