2009 College Football: Week 2 Discussion

Poli · 09-10-2009, 02:22 PM

I'm, of course, very interested in UCLA/Tennessee, but I'll be taping a youth football game before coaching my own team at the same time this one's going on.

I am looking forward to the Notre Dame/Michigan and USC/Ohio State games, despite not being a fan of any of the programs. I'm also hoping that Mizzou shuts out Bowling Green and puts up 90 on Clawson.

dawgfan · 09-10-2009, 04:26 PM

So where are all the Idaho fans on this board...

Karlifornia · 09-10-2009, 04:27 PM

I have to wake up at 9 am to watch Stanford/Wake Forest...Hopefully the players are more awake than I am.

I always thought that early football games on Satruday and Sunday would be one of the advantages to living on the West Coast. I like the idea of football starting at 9:30 or 10:00 am and being done by around 8:00 pm or so, especially now that I get up early anyway.

The drawback, of course, would be 4:30 pm or 5:00 pm starts to weekday NHL games. Those would be tough with work and all.

Well if they listen to Nirvana before the game that ought to put them back to sleep.

RomaGoth · 09-10-2009, 05:22 PM

Michigan/Notre Dame should be a good one. Ohio State/USC will be entertaining as well.

Love that it's football season again.

10..okay...9? Not as okay.

clemsonfan · 09-10-2009, 05:52 PM

I'm pretty nervous about Clemson's game tonight against GA Tech.

I would. That triple option is a bitch to defend, and then add in the fact Dwyer is a focal point back there. Oof.

I got GT 34 - 21

I'm not done until the 49ers games end.

tarcone · 09-10-2009, 06:33 PM

Iowa travels to (I hate) Iowa State.
Should be much easier then Northern Iowa.

Ill be watching on Fox Sports Midwest.

Karlifornia · 09-10-2009, 07:02 PM

Come onnnnnn, Clemson. I'm calling Clemson with the minor upset: 28-27

So am I, but in reverse.

If Spiller's healthy I honestly think you may score 40 on us. And I don't know if we can hold onto the ball well enough to match that.

CU Tiger · 09-10-2009, 07:39 PM

Not sure how it looks on TV, but there is a much closer mix of fans in the stands now then I wouldd think.
We always travel well, GT is smaller...but its probably 70/30 maybe even 65/35 white to orange..

GO TIGERS!

Recoil · 09-10-2009, 07:43 PM

I hope our defense looks better than it did against Jax St. If not, it could be a long night for the Jackets.

Logan · 09-10-2009, 08:01 PM

Beautiful run.

MJ4H · 09-10-2009, 08:01 PM

thats why the triple option rulez

Passacaglia · 09-10-2009, 08:12 PM

The pooch punt -- they'll never see that one coming!

DeToxRox · 09-10-2009, 08:12 PM

Oh Dabo.

Lathum · 09-10-2009, 08:24 PM

Dabo is getting insanely outcoached

Logan · 09-10-2009, 08:25 PM

Beautiful GT fake FG for a TD.

Passacaglia · 09-10-2009, 08:25 PM

What are they doing? They should have pooch punted.

DeToxRox · 09-10-2009, 08:25 PM

Coach Paul Johnson is so fucking good.

Recoil · 09-10-2009, 08:27 PM

Absolutely thrilled right now, but there's a lot more football to play.

CU Tiger · 09-10-2009, 08:33 PM

Fuck the fucking Fuck fuck fuck....

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 08:33 PM

I'm currently slightly less worried than I was before kickoff. Still worried, just not as worried.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 08:39 PM

Okay, that was a sweet run.

flounder · 09-10-2009, 08:43 PM

Man. The execution of this offense so far is light years ahead of where it was last year (except for the passing of course). I think I'm starting to sip the kool-aid.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 08:45 PM

What's the good word?

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 08:45 PM

I'll give you a hint ... it ain't pass coverage.

Lathum · 09-10-2009, 08:46 PM

finally

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 09:01 PM

Good camera work to catch Parker screaming into his helmet.

edit to add: I was curious about the guy (#16) who they showed coming over to encourage him a little later so I looked him up. Third string RS-JR QB Michael Wade, a 4.0 student whose parents both lettered at Clemson, mom in volleyball & dad who was on the 1981 Championship team.

flounder · 09-10-2009, 09:04 PM

Ok. I'm not saying anything else for the rest of the season. No more jinxes.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 09:13 PM

Man, Josh looks terrible throwing the ball. No touch at all, just flinging it and praying someone in white runs under it. He's seriously regressed, he was more accurate than this in high school.

CU Tiger · 09-10-2009, 09:20 PM

O vs D its 10-7....throw in 14-0 on special team/trick plays....

tarcone · 09-10-2009, 09:22 PM

I love the triple option. So much more then the spread option. I am watching Ga Tech whenever I can.

CU Tiger · 09-10-2009, 09:24 PM

BTW I was wrong about the crowd...they just showed up late...still not an official sell out I guess but plenty showed up mid way through the 1st quarter....

Team was shell shocked early...hope we come out better in 2nd half

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 09:45 PM

Horrible fucking bullshit call.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 09:52 PM

And just like that, it's a two possession game. 24-14.

Galaxy · 09-10-2009, 09:58 PM

Flipping between this and the NFL game, GT looks really good.

Not since the first four drives

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 10:03 PM

4th & 1 becomes 4th & 6 on a delay & we punt again.

Radii · 09-10-2009, 10:05 PM

oh dear

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 10:06 PM

Missed tackle as two DB's collide and it's 77 yd TD for Jacoby Ford and it's now 24-21.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 10:07 PM

Our defense is getting exposed here, we dropped 8 and still got lit up.

CU Tiger · 09-10-2009, 10:08 PM

WOOOOOO
HOOOOO
WOOOHOOO HOOOOO
C-L-E-M-S-O---N!

We have a game....

I'll refer you back to post #27 of this thread. It's not without good reason I feel that way.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 10:12 PM

Now 0-8 on third down. And with this offense of all things.
This is not, repeat, NOT an top 10 team (which they would have had a shot at with a dominant win here)

JonInMiddleGA · 09-10-2009, 10:17 PM

Okay, make that 1-9 after an unusual defensive holding on the punt attempt before the kick. Of course it's three & out after that.

Is it just me or does Nesbitt's footwork on straight pass plays look incredibly awkward?
