To me, it's fascinating when you think about how rock-solid Northwestern has been the offensive line pretty much since Fitzgerald became entrenched as head coach.

Now think about how sub-par we've been on the OL over the last decade or so.

IMO, you'll never see a bad team with a quality offensive line; and you'll never see a really good team with a lousy OL

Anyway a giant sinkhole emerges in Columbus Ohio on Saturday????

 

[Silver King]

Funny seeing how wrong people were based on how a game starts on here, there's a reason they play 60 minutes. They do it with the Canes too.

Yup. If you're remotely cognizant of the inherent limitations of Northwestern as a football school then you have to realize that Fitzgerald is a helluva coach.

Just look at them being 4-0 in their last bowl appearances and the amount of double digit win seasons they've had since he took over versus... let's says...hmmm...a school like.....Texas A&M.

I don't think we'll ever get to see him tested as the head coach at an actual CFB power program though. I think his next stop will be with the Bears.

FSU played Duquesne... Not Duke, Duquesne.

Their walk-ons could’ve beat them by 4 TD’s.

They play in the same conference as Central Connecticut ST who we played last year...

That was a scrimmage, not a real game lol

You would think I said FSU was going 10-2 based on comments. I said 7-5. But they have position groups better across their roster than last year. Travis had a higher completion percentage than Sam Hartman at WF last year, albeit much less attempts. Point is he is improving enough where he isn't a huge liability passing the ball.

I thought FSU would be better regardless of the gsme against Desquesne. I just think the transfers will help them like the transfers help us.

QB, RB, WR, OL, DT, LB, DB all improved for FSU year over year imo. Again I said 7-5 they still have a tough schedule.

I'm FROM Pittsburgh and I forgot that Duquesne even had a football program.

They're occasionally good at hoops. Norm Nixon went there for anyone that watched Winning Time on HBO. But football? Hahaha.

Who knows? Depleted FAMU roster.

I was more impressed with the FAMU QB. Willie Simmons and staff coached themselves a good game.

Nebraska board in full meltdown

This won't be popular here, but FSU is improved this year.

Not great like 10-2 improved, but more like 7-5.

Travis is getting better as a passer, and he along with Cunningham are the 2 best running QB's in the ACC.

Their OL is better, their WR is better this year over last year. The DE take a step back, but they're not awful there, and the LB and secondary are pretty good.

I think they lose to LSU, Clemson, N.C State, Miami, and Florida.

UNC is going to ge good offensively and very average defensively. They will improve on defense through the season. 7-5 or 8-4 type team.

I can't see FSU winning 6 more games.

LSU
@UL
BC
WAKE
@NCST
CLEMSON
GT
@ UM
@SYRACUSE
LOUISIANA
UF

They will likely be dogs this week and next. Neither BC nor Wake at home is a gimme, even with Hartman out or in question. They'll be dogs again @ NCST and Clemson. GT is winnable. Miami on the road they'll be a dog. @ Cuse and home for UF will be contested games too. I don't think they're bowl eligible this year.

Gurvan Hall just missed a huge open field tackle as UConn is running it down USU’s throat so far.

I didn't watch the Utah State v Bama game, but ESPN reports Hall didn't have any tackles. But he did have a memorable (non) play.

 

[Jaxson Villain]

My boy Terrell Jennings looks decent against UNC., Oxendine isn’t bad either.


Side note, my Jacksonville player to keep an eye on in college this year is Demario Douglas at Liberty.

My boy Demario was getting the off against Wake Forest today.
