Yeah, we never play well against Utah.

I was bummed when I found out Gus Johnson was doing the Mich/Indiana game but it's turned out to be the best game of the morning.

TCU/Kansas is pretty good as well.

UT up 28-10 on Bama.

Bama looks completely frazzled.

Early 2nd quarter.   

[PattyD22]

After 2 failed 4th down attempts by UT, Bama converts that into 10 points, and ties the game at 28.

Good game.

[PattyD22]

This UT/Bama game is nuts.

Especially if you like offense.

Congrats Tennessee.

That was a great cfb game. 

17 penalties? That kinda hurt.

Is this the first time the Bruins have been in the top 10 since the Cade McNown days?

Classic weekend with several games featuring one highly ranked team vs another

Tennessee is for real.   Hooker has made himself into a possible Heisman candidate.

Bryce Young is Bryce Young, best QB in the country.

USC ran into an emotionally fired up Utah team wearing for the first time helmets dedicated to their two late teammates.   Utah’s TE had the game of his life.   That was a classic, hated to see USC lose but have to totally respect what Utah was no doubt feeling.

That said, Caleb Williams is the real deal, best USC QB in years?

Michigan running game made mince meat of Penn State’s D.

TCU/Okie State was another classic.

All in all, a great Saturday!

His body was found at a church. Hate to say it, but I'm guessing suicide.

Oregon’s uniforms today are simply the worst uniforms I’ve ever seen in college football.  
 

They look like something you would see in a Pride parade.

Boy that Jimbo Fisher can sure judge character.  Who could ever imagine that giving young adults boatloads of cash via NIL might lead to this?

The rumor is these players were caught smoking pot in the locker room after the game.  Certainly not a capital offense, but when you are a 4 star, and two 5 star recruits, that’s a pretty stupid thing to do.

Oh, and your team is now 3-4.  College Station isn’t in a good mood, either.

The transfer portal and NIL money has completely changed the landscape of CFB, and in my opinion, not for the better.
