Official 2015 College Football Week 6 thread

[cartman]

Here's the match-ups between Top 25 teams this week:

Northwestern at Michigan
California at Utah

[Kodos]

Let's take down PSU, Hoosiers!

[Honolulu_Blue]

I would definitely take the under in the Northwestern/Michigan game.

[CU Tiger]

Coming off a huge win Clemson get GT.

GT is ALWAYS a thorn in Clemson's side with the Tiger's basking in the media glow this week and GT coming off 3 straight losses and looking like a wounded animal...this game bothers me.

Hopefully it dries out.

[digamma]

Nah. I was looking this morning, and out of the 12 skill positions on offense in the GT two deep (six positions x 2 players) coming out of spring practice 7 have been lost for the year. Four of the other five had no significant playing time coming into the season. Two DL, one OL and now a starting CB also down.

It's a literal MASH unit right now and the other parts of the team are pressing to make up for it (not in good ways). The Jackets will show up and play tough, but it could be ugly, just because of the situation.

[tarcone]

Iowa hosts Illinois. Could be a trap game for the Hawks. Gotta stay focused.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Maty Mauk suspension has been extended to this week. Methinks Maty has started his last game.

[JonInMiddleGA]

C looking like wounded animal

More like roadkill.

[MacroGuru]

ECU @ BYU this weekend.

I am very concerned with this game. I don't think we can win a shootout, but I think we can stop their offense.

Jon's Three Cents | Because two cents worth isn't always enough (https://jonsthreecents.wordpress.com/)

I can only imagine how much it pains you to list 2 B1G teams atop your poll. :D

[dawgfan]

Washington heads down to LA for a Thursday night game against Sark & USC. First time the Huskies have faced Sark since he bailed. Washington's defense and special teams give them a chance, but when Sark loses games he's not supposed to it's usually on the road, not at home.

Myles Jack declares for the draft

[BillJasper]

Myles Jack declares for the draft

I don't understand the upside to declaring now? He could go to school for the rest of this year, still and then declare in February. Plus, how does this work now for his rehabilitation expenses? Why would UCLA continue to pay when he's no longer in school?

[Atocep]

There's rumors of a video showing Butch Jones getting into a fight with a player during fall practice.

[Eaglesfan27]

I don't understand the upside to declaring now? He could go to school for the rest of this year, still and then declare in February. Plus, how does this work now for his rehabilitation expenses? Why would UCLA continue to pay when he's no longer in school?

UCLA won't pay for his rehab now. The only benefit to Jack that I can see is that he won't have to go to class and he can focus strictly on rehab and getting ready for the draft.

[MrBug708]

I'd imagine they'll pay for some of it considering it happened at UCLA, but he'll better care by not having distractions and focusing on football.

A 5 million dollar policy makes it worth it

He can leave school. Sign with an agent. Get probably $500,000 cash advance now and live like a baller for 6 months until the draft.

I mean...uh... he can work out more without the distractions of study hall and rehab more focused.

[miked]

Visiting friends in Tallahassee this weekend and they got us tickets to FSU-UM. Not a fan of FSU, but would love to watch Miami get destroyed.

[cartman]

The LSU-South Carolina game is moving to Baton Rouge.

[JonInMiddleGA]

The LSU-South Carolina game is moving to Baton Rouge.

A $4m dollar hit to SC on ticket sales alone, another $6m-$10m in lost revenue to the community (based on an 2013 article giving estimated spending during a football weekend in/around Columbia)

Looked at the schedules for both teams, I'm not sure what they could really do here to save the situation. Their off dates don't match up (10/24 for SC, 10/31 for LSU) and LSU has a non-conference game with WKU on 10/24 I don't think you can move that around and discomfit LSU for something that isn't a problem of their making.

What a crappy scenario on top of everything else though.

[Atocep]

WVU loses one of the top 2-3 safeties in the country for the season with Karl Joseph tearing his ACL in a non-contact drill at practice. :(

[Butter]

Nothing made me as angry over the weekend as the Nick Saban rant about Alabama being written off.

Are you fucking kidding me? The team that has gotten the most benefit of the doubt in the conference that gets cut the most slack ever really is pulling the "disrespected" card?

That seems to me to be a sign of desperation.

If nothing else, it pissed me off to no end.

[tarcone]

Well, there was a discussion on ESECPN talking about does a 2 loss Alabama team make the playoff.
What other team would that even be considered?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Well, there was a discussion on ESECPN talking about does a 2 loss Alabama team make the playoff.
What other team would that even be considered?

Given the way a lot of teams have looked thus far, I think at least one two-loss team is a possibility. Whether that team turns out to be Bama, I dunno.

It's a conversation I suppose but the Ole Miss loss last weekend hurts that possibility I think.

[BillJasper]

Report: Maryland to fire coach Randy Edsall as soon as this week - CBSSports.com (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25331383/report-maryland-will-part-ways-with-coach-randy-edsall-soon)

[BishopMVP]

A $4m dollar hit to SC on ticket sales alone, another $6m-$10m in lost revenue to the community (based on an 2013 article giving estimated spending during a football weekend in/around Columbia)I assume LSU would at least give SC a portion of the money from their ticket sales. Not really sure though - plus do you honor SC tickets already sold, or just refund everyone and have them buy new tickets if they can make it down to.Baton Rouge? Time for the AD's to earn their paycheck I guess.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I assume LSU would at least give SC a portion of the money from their ticket sales.

That was not expected based on the coverage yesterday but today nola.com says "The game will technically remain a home game for South Carolina, which will get the gate receipts".

LSU opted to keep the home game on the 2020 schedule for themselves (another option that was on the table was to simply flip the games in 2015 and 2020 ... but there were already concerns about a team getting an extra conference home game so I figure that squashed that route.

Plus I imagine that would piss off some very powerful alums or season ticket holders, and cost LSU some revenue. They do have a very rabid fan base, but it'll be interesting to see the crowd they get. Very much doubt a sell out.

Seems like a great chance to do lower price tickets & give fans who otherwise wouldn't see a game in person the opportunity to do so. And down in those final 24 hours I suspect a LOT of freebies could end up being distributed if things are indeed slow.

[MrBug708]

This UW-USC game is like watching low level high school game.

[bronconick]

Tom Fornelli ‏@TomFornelli 5m5 minutes ago
Sark finally gonna get Washington that win over USC.

[Eaglesfan27]

USC is missing Turek (who was hurt early in the game.) Way too many low snaps tonight. Cody is doing a great job fielding them but they are throwing off the rhythm.

[BishopMVP]

Just put a yellow jersey on Kessler at this point.

[Logan]

Tom Fornelli ‏@TomFornelli 5m5 minutes ago

Haha ouch.

[CU Tiger]

Sark has now been a double digit favorite 6 times at USC against a P5 opponent. He has lost 4 of those.

Wonder is SC wishes they'd pursued Petersen instead now?

[Chief Rum]

Petersen is a better coach than Sark, but he hasn't exactly lit the world on fire so far at Washington either. No way USC would have hired a guy straight out of Boise who didn't have the experience coaching under the kind of scrutiny USC brings.

It's pretty clear, though, that Sark is in way over his head.

They might wouldn't have, but I'd suggest they should have.

A good read here and that is surprising coming from my disdain of ESecPN and Mark Shchalaughuagh. However somehow they combined to produce a good read.

[Wolfpack]

Speaking of coaches who seem to be in over their heads (and offensive coordinators and quarterbacks)... I don't think I've ever hopped off a coach bandwagon quite so quickly as I have with Dave Doeren. Six games into year three and I think I've seen enough at this point. 3-15 in 18 conference games. That is Tom Reed levels of awful. It's not like the ACC has been a murderer's row either. Clemson and FSU are the only teams where State would be totally outclassed, but that still only accounts for four of the 15 losses. Looking ahead, Clemson and FSU are sure losses and the biannual road loss at Wake Forest is pretty well expected also. That leaves Syracuse, BC, and UNC as toss-ups to get wins out of at this point. We might get to six wins and get shipped to some cold-weather bowl to meet the last slot obligations of the ACC, but this is not where things should be in year 3.

[dawgfan]

They sniffed around each other, but my understanding is it was mutually agreed to not be a great match. Petersen wasn't going to be the media-friendly/booster-glad-handing guy USC wanted. And Petersen confirmed that he really wasn't interested in the media fishbowl atmosphere that is L.A.

[dawgfan]

Tom Fornelli ‏@TomFornelli 5m5 minutes ago

I get the humorous intent, but perhaps Fornelli has forgotten that Sark went 2-2 vs. USC while he was at Washington?

Yeah Ive been really surprised by Doeren, I thought he was going to really turn things around there. And there have been flashes where you think...and then stumble.

Signing my (and several others) National #1 Dexter Lawrence this year will help him though.

[cartman]

You heard it here first:

Texas will win the game against Oklahoma today, as long as Oklahoma doesn't score more points.

In all seriousness, I'm expecting another beat down. But this series is strange. Often, when one of the teams is a big underdog, surprises happen. Look at the game two years ago.

[Thomkal]

Coastal Carolina opens Big South play today as they host Presbyterian. Not expecting any problems with the "Surf Turf" after all that rain, but we are under a flash flood watch today as we are expected to get more rain today. We've pretty much walked all over Presbyterian past few seasons, so expecting more of the same this year.

[Wolfpack]

Signing my (and several others) National #1 Dexter Lawrence this year will help him though.

I think the debate at this point is whether it's Doeren or whether its his coodinators. Huxtable is doing a passable job at this point on defense I think, but Canada is getting most of the hate right now with how dreadful the offense has looked so far. The running game is ok, but that's due to the sheer volume of talent (at least until Thornton got kicked off the team) that's available to carry the ball. The receivers are lousy (and any decent ones we've had since Doeren came all seem to transfer out at the first chance) and Brissett is just not a good quarterback. He may be a talent, but there's something missing, an "it" quality that you know if you needed him to carry the team, he could do it. A senior quarterback of a major college program should have that ability and I just don't think he's got it in him. Yes, he's got poor receivers, but good QBs find a way to overcome at least some of that and produce better than 12-for-25 for 113 yards and 1 TD/1 int. It also doesn't help that he lost a game last night to a second-string QB who gimped around on a bad leg for half a game and still threw three touchdowns.

[cartman]

YES!!!!!!!!

[mckerney]

You heard it here first:

Texas will win the game against Oklahoma today

Hell of a call by cartman.





:p

[BillJasper]

Wow. Texas only had 55 passing yards.

[cuervo72]

Not sure those unis are working for me, Vols.

[nol]

Nick Chubb just hurt his knee and the replay's definitely not for the faint of heart.

[BillJasper]

Nick Chubb just hurt his knee and the replay's definitely not for the faint of heart.

That sucks.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Nick Chubb just hurt his knee and the replay's definitely not for the faint of heart.

Yeah, so I'm hearing.

The obvious fear is that it's a Gurley-type injury.

[BillJasper]

Not sure those unis are working for me, Vols.

Not great. But I've seen a lot worse.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I don't think they've said it outright on TV but Allie LaForce tweeted that Chubb lost consciousness while being moved from the training table to the cart, only coming to after they had him on the cart.

That cannot be a good sign.

Look, I despise UGA football/the program with pretty much every fiber of my being. That said, Chubb carries himself exceptionally well on & off the field. He's got a tremendous work ethic, has been a just-gimme-the-ball warrior since HS (he played in the same region as my alma mater). Definitely not the sort of kid you can wish genuinely ill.

[tucker rocky]

Tennessee fumbles, Georgia returns it for a 90+ yard TD.
Chubb injury looked awful.

[Ben E Lou]

The obvious fear is that it's a Gurley-type injury.Obviously, we don't anything at this point, but it *looked* closer to Lattimore than Gurley.

[JPhillips]

Hopefully it can rehab like Gurley's. I'd hate to see Chubb lose his chance at the NFL.

This also has to be a big data point for Fournette in 2016.

[JPhillips]

So Brady Hoke is just a really, really shitty coach?

[bronconick]

Any RB should go pro ASAP.

The college football hall of fame should do an exhibit on the great WF games.

[Solecismic]

It's been a long, long time since Michigan "took care of business" like that against a top 20 team. That was nice.

I have no illusions that Michigan State will be that easy, but it's nice going in thinking the Wolverines have a decent chance of winning.

Was Brady Hoke just a bad coach? He said he wanted to bring back the tough Michigan teams of the past. He recruited players who fit that bill. But they didn't play all that tough. Harbaugh seems to know how to do that.

[tarcone]

Iowa beats Illinois. Tough, hard hitting game.

Interesting that NW got waxed like that.

[MizzouRah]

3 really stupid personal foul penalties by Missouri and yet we are still in this one at the half. We need to come out and score a TD, if we can't start having some drives, our defense will wear out against the Florida offense.

[General Mike]

Rutgers up 14-10 on Sparty at halftime. Who would have knew?

[tarcone]

Go Arkansas! And the blew a fake punt
Go KSU!

Still schocked by the smack down Michigan put on Northwestern.

[BishopMVP]

I didn't think Chubb's injury looked as bad as Lattimore/McGahee. I still think it's likely he tore a ligament, but I wouldn't be shocked if he "only" has a bad sprain.

[General Mike]

North Texas lost 66-7 to Portland State, so they fired their coach.

[Atocep]

I despise college overtime.

[tarcone]

I like the NFLs better

[Shkspr]

North Texas lost 66-7 to Portland State, so they fired their coach.

It's really the combined 246-74 score they've lost all their games by so far this season. UNT is just a bad team.

[BishopMVP]

Al Davis would love this TCU team. Just win baby.

[tarcone]

2 plays, 2 TDs, game. TCU can bring when need be.

[Vince, Pt. II]

This Cal-Utah game is insane. 7 Turnovers, 500 yards of total offense...and that's just the first freaking half.

[BishopMVP]

This Cal-Utah game is insane. 7 Turnovers, 500 yards of total offense...and that's just the first freaking half.I still like Jared Goff better than Christian Hackenberg or Cardale Jones (or the MSU kid), and I don't want to overreact to one bad game but he's not a top 10 pick right now imo. I like his accuracy and quick release and he at least makes quick decisions, but he really struggled with any semblance of pocket awareness and those last 2 picks were brutal (as well as the fumble his team recovered late). Just terrible decisions in all aspects that reminded me of Brian Hoyer's throw that ended the Thursday night game. It'll be interesting to see how his draft status plays out, because Mariota was knocked for a lot of the same things Goff will be (always playing in shotgun, running an offense based off quick reads, didn't work in the pocket much), so I wonder if Mariota's success will help a top 3 team (cough*Chicago*cough - doesn't Hackenberg getting reunited with Bill O'Brien just seem more likely?) talk themselves into Goff. Which would be a mistake imo, because while Goff does have the tools, in Mariota's case people thought he might struggle in the absence of data, but in Goff's case you can actually see him struggling with them.

[BishopMVP]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQ_UUT1WwAA0mCF.png

Oof. Just saw the "highlights" of how this one ended. You fumble the ball inside the 10 with a minute left, miraculously get it back, then completely blow that possession and have the clock run out at the 1? No way Wake Forest should've won in regulation.

At least the Rutgers play was a panic decision, and they were far enough away it was very unlikely to matter. The BC one must have developed in slow motion over what I'm assuming is at least ten minutes of real time.

[Julio Riddols]

Michigan wins against Michigan State and it looks like clear sailing for them until they play Ohio State last game of the year. Given that they have allowed 14 points in the last 5 games, I'd say they have a good chance.

[RainMaker]

Chubb has a PCL, MCL, and ACL tear. Doesn't sound like nerve or artery damage which is good. But the PCL is tough to come back from.

So definitely worse than Gurley but doesn't sound as bad as Lattimore. Still unlikely he plays next year and probably best to just rehab and train for the 2017 draft.

[Logan]

Some rumors that Sark was asked to take a leave of absence from USC.

[bronconick]

Sarkisian got sent home by Haden today. Clay Helton is the interim while he's getting treatment

[BillJasper]

Some rumors that Sark was asked to take a leave of absence from USC.

Rehab?

Tough to fire a guy whose having a bad season if he's in rehab. Probably a smart move by Sarkisian, if that's the case.

[Solecismic]

I have watched a lot of both teams this season (my wife earned her Ph.D at MSU) and this will not be a shutout. Michigan hasn't faced a quarterback who makes good decisions and has the arm to make that back-shoulder throw at distance. Lewis can shut down one of MSU's talented wideouts, but the other will have plenty of opportunity. Cook can get the ball out quickly, which will negate some of Michigan's excellent DLine play.

Statistically, MSU has not been impressive, and that drops them considerably in computer rankings. But I can't recall any of their six games (in none of which they covered the spread) when I thought they weren't in control.

MSU will probably score in the 21-24 range. The game will hinge on whether Michigan's offensive line has gelled after an iffy opener against a very talented and mature Utah line.

[Eaglesfan27]

Rehab?

Tough to fire a guy whose having a bad season if he's in rehab. Probably a smart move by Sarkisian, if that's the case.

Sark is done at USC. Leave of absence for now.

So Coach O or Norm? Gotta get the band back together!

[dawgfan]

While it would be easy to laugh at Sark, I feel bad for the guy. He's clearly got an alcohol problem. That was an open secret while he was at the UW. Now his problem with alcohol is out in the open, he's going through a divorce and he's going to lose his dream job. He's headed down a potentially very dark path. For the sake of his two young kids, I hope he gets his shit together before he falls even further down toward the bottom.

Why did they let him go any further after the whole donor function thing? The rumors then seem to be pretty consistent with what is being said today.

There's a lot of truth to this. Whoever is next in line is going to inherit a helluva roster, with a shit-ton of talent in the youngest couple of classes. Although you have to wonder how this circus is going to affect their 2016 class - I suspect they're going to see some of their current commits and targets look elsewhere.

Forgot to post what is being said in Columbia about why Matty Mauk was suspended.
Apparently, Mauk is using and dealing drugs. The starting Center and team captain tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't. So the center turned him into the coaches.
This hasn't gone to police. Coaching staff keeping it in house.

OK guys, let's keep this to ourselves.

BYU had the game in hand then Tanner goes down with an injury and Beau Hoge comes in.

Our team looks flat and ECU ties the game with 4 minutes left. Who hobbles onto the field, but Tanner. He leads BYU in a 9 play drive and BYU score the gw with 19 seconds left.

It had the aura of BYU QB history there.

[Thomkal]

Coastal Carolina barely managed to hold on to its unbeaten season with a 24-17 win over Presbyterian. Held off Pres. for four plays within the 10 yard line late in the fourth quarter to preserve the win. Did not score any offensive TD until the fourth quarter themselves, and had a fake FG for a TD in the first half. They (and I) are breathing a sign of relief as they head into their bye week before heading to Monmouth (a Big South member though they are in NJ) for hopefully a big win.

[dubb93]

Chubb's school paid injury insurance apparently sucks. It's a 5 million dollar policy which is nice. The downside is the only way he can collect is if he remains "permanently disabled." I would say the chances of that are significantly lower than this injury just knocking him out of the football world.
