College Football Week 5 Discussion Thread (spoilers inside)

General Mike · 09-26-2006, 05:56 PM

Week 5 of the college football season kicks off tonight with a C-USA clash between Southern Mississippi and Central Florida on ESPN2 at 7:30. I'll be watching.

Here is the link to the rest of this week's TV slate of games:

VT has two starters suspended for the GT game this weekend -- WR Josh Morgan and DE Chris Ellis were among a crowd of VT students that were picked up and cited for disturbing the peace earlier this week outside a bar in Blacksburg, so Beamer suspended them.

With our situation at WR (very deep) it shouldn't hurt our offense (which is inconsistant anyways), but Ellis is a big loss for this particular game. History shows that if you pressure Reggie Ball, he'll fold like a card table, so we need our DE rotation to be able to put pressure on him all game. I think it went from a possible 7 point VT win to an even matchup.

General Mike · 09-26-2006, 08:25 PM

This USM-UCF game has been a pretty good battle so far.

cartman · 09-26-2006, 08:28 PM

Texas and Oklahoma are taking similar approaches to their preparation for the Red River Shootout next weekend. This weekend Texas plays Sam Houston State, while OU has a bye week. The level of competition for the 1st team on both squads will be comparable.

cartman · 09-28-2006, 07:42 PM

Looks like TCU's win streak is going to come to an end. They haven't been able to stop BYU on 3rd down all night.

General Mike · 09-28-2006, 09:01 PM

Here is the 3:30 pm coverage map for ABC this weekend:

VPI97 · 09-28-2006, 09:10 PM

Unique third quarter in the Auburn/USC game...Auburn gets the ball to start the half and goes on a 17 play FG drive. They follow it up with an onsides kick and go on a 14 play TD drive that extends into the fourth quarter. First time I can remember seeing a team not have a single offensive play in a quarter.

General Mike · 09-28-2006, 09:43 PM

South Carolina's got a chance in this one.

timmynausea · 09-28-2006, 10:06 PM

Survive and advance for Auburn. South Carolina turned 4 red zone trips into 10 points or they would've pulled off the upset.

Galaxy · 09-28-2006, 10:26 PM

Good game. Should of SC went for the 1st down?

VPI97 · 09-28-2006, 11:05 PM

Hmm...I was just watching Sportcenter and they did one of those pieces where they talk about poll results from ESPN.com. Anyway, the poll question is "Who should be #2?" and on the show, they displayed the results as USC winning the poll with 48% to Auburn's 35%. The problem with that is the actual poll results on ESPN.com were the other way around - Aub 48%, USC 35% - a case of West Coast bias?

Neuqua · 09-29-2006, 04:27 PM

Anyone else kind of surprised that Rutgers is only a 4.5 point favorite tonight?

B & B · 09-29-2006, 04:56 PM

Im more suprised that the line is now down to 3 1/2.

Everyones brothers uncle's mother is on Rutgers.

Thinking about taking Paxson and Cartwright plus the points.

No. USF is very good.

Is it just me or should that have been another grounding call in the end zone?

You need more emphasis on the V of Very. Think "V for Vendetta" type emphasis on the V.

I agree Mike overstated it. USF is "good" as in a legit 1-A program. Rutgers seems to be moving towards a solid road win here. I can't complain.

I want them to go at least 2-1 on this 3 game road trip, so this appears to be a very nice start.

Poli · 09-29-2006, 10:07 PM

Personally, through the Rutgers fans on the board, I'm becoming a closet Rutgers fan (in other words, I'm happy they're winning 'cause it makes you guys happy). I want them to win all 3.

cthomer5000 · 09-29-2006, 10:10 PM

Rutgers is not making this easy... come on you jackasses.

come on... do Rutgers and the Jets really have to act so similarly? even if they win, Rutgers likes to make it torturous.

It's not over yet. 22-20, USF going for 2.

Right on. I didn't know. I'm not cultured, despite the Navy's attempts to make me.

I tell you what though, I was called black (as in, get your black *** over here) last week. I think it was a compliment. That was a first.

larrymcg421 · 09-29-2006, 10:17 PM

I thought that was much closer to PI than the earlier play where he jumped up for it.

Z²+ · 09-29-2006, 10:18 PM

i was actually rooting for RU tonight, I want a battle of 6-1 teams when RU comes to town for Homecoming in late october

Craptacular · 09-29-2006, 10:19 PM

Still an onside kick to go, but even if USF gets it, those new clock rules will let them run one play at most.

Z²+ · 09-29-2006, 10:20 PM

no 10 yards
