Week 5 college football thread - The Bamachurian Candidate

I take an inordinate amount of joy watching shots of the college students after their team just gave up a crushing touchdown or turnover.

 

And then, not so much.

 

Should I get a Boise State or Oregon jersey?

 

That 10-1 Texas A&M run against Arkansas inside JerryWorld tells you little. I was actually in the house (by luck) when the Hogs won their one. Seven of those wins have been by one score, with three going to overtime. I don't blame Yuracheck for overruling Jerry and taking it back to home fields.

 

That moment when Tyler Watts liberates himself from the headphones that were clearly oppressing him.

 

You’re kidding.
It was 28-0.
You can call it a great comeback by Georgia in the second half of you can call it a defensive bed-shitting if you’d like. In no way is this in the same hemisphere as the greatest anything.

 

FTFY.

 

The ability of those wrs all night to stay on their feet after insane catches, make moves, and run was spectacular to watch.

 

Army is 4-0 and weirdly only has two road games left this year -- at Tulsa next week and at North Texas on 11/9. They'll get Notre Dame (Yankee Stadium) and Navy (Northwest Field -- new Commanders' stadium name) at neutral sites. Could be a sneaky fun team to watch down the stretch.

 

If this Georgia team ever figures out that the game starts in the first quarter, they'll be pretty good.

 

I understand it was not an ideal script for the discriminating neutral. I truly do. But that first quarter was a Platonic ideal. I have never seen and will never again witness such a dominating stretch in a game between evenly-matched top tier squads.

 

For a "great game" Georgia-Bama was pretty poorly played. Nick Saban, the old DB coach, probably went through a case of Lil Debbies. That Georgia QB is trash. But I get it, this is the new college football - put your athletes in a position to make big plays, throw it up and have the receivers go get it. But my goodness, bad tackling, bad reads, bad technique - this game had it all.
