Afternoon Games Open Thread

They had 10 wins last year so they arent terrible. certainly better than Applachian State who went 4-8 in FCS

football coach. While their coach has brought Rice to heights they haven't seen in ages, he has not been consistently winning.
This was supposed to be a reloading year for Rice.
However, I doubt last year's Rice team would have beaten ND this year, either (see the Liberty Bowl).
Point being, Rice winning 10 wins last year doesn't mean much. Rice went 2-10 a year after Baliff got rice to 10 wins in 2008.

They are not throwing against what is a very suspect secondary, they can't tackle, and they keep making stupid mistakes. They are a bad football team. I'm sorry that you upsets you but it's the truth.

by their standards. They wiffed on fourth down; WVU moving the ball pretty smartly now.
August 30th, 2014 at 5:55 PM ^
Cheering for WVU so hard. Is Griese the color guy? Sounds like him.
August 30th, 2014 at 5:57 PM ^
Drops like that is not how a team beats Bama. Points potentially left on field. Derp.
Followed by a miss FG. Sigh.

West Virginia and Cal have the same color scheme as us, but they're both playing with all-white uniforms. I don't get it. West Virginia isn't identifiable at all in this look - they look more like Tulsa.

Though the Big Ten is winning they haven't looked real strong in couple of those matchups. We will be 12-1 when the afternoon games close out. NW looks awful.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:06 PM ^
GA 7 - CU 7, looks to be a good one. ND game is becoming unwatchable, Rice sucks.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:07 PM ^
And suddenly, we've got a ball game over in Evanston. 31-21 Cal.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:07 PM ^
NW just did a halfback pass that was really fun to watch. Trevor Siemian CAUGHT a TD pass.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:23 PM ^
That was our old "transcontinental" play, which John Navarre scored a TD on.

Such a horrible call on WVU...wow.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:15 PM ^
That is bullshit!
August 30th, 2014 at 6:16 PM ^
Brian Griese is doing an excellent job in the booth for this WVU - Bama game.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:21 PM ^
Thought it sounded like him.
Well there is a reason he is doing the ABC game and a reason Galloway is doing ESPN2 game.
Nice catch WVU! Keep doing it.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:18 PM ^
These refs have made some terrible calls in Alabama's favor. Apparently getting run into by an offensive player running out of bounds is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
good job by WVU defense to hold 'Bama to the FG.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:24 PM ^
For as many easy passes as they've dropped, they've made some really nice catches down the field.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:26 PM ^
Great throw! Is WVU's QB considered really good? Lighting it up.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:38 PM ^
If I'm remembering correctly, Trickett was Florida State's second string quarterback when E.J. Manuel was there, but transferred for playing time.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:29 PM ^
Oh NO's
August 30th, 2014 at 6:30 PM ^
Is there a GIF for shooting yourself in the foot??
August 30th, 2014 at 6:32 PM ^
August 30th, 2014 at 6:34 PM ^
Should be tied. Previous drive WR dropped wide open ball deep, then they missed a FG.
Cant see anyone in America rooting for Bama outside of Tuscaloosa,
and INT!

Nick Marshall didn't even get held out a whole game for smoking weed?? I thought one game would have at least been the standard punishment

August 30th, 2014 at 6:47 PM ^

They are trying to come back from a big deficit for a change, instead of blowing a huge lead like usual.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:45 PM ^
August 30th, 2014 at 6:48 PM ^
And Les would be in Ann Arbor??
August 30th, 2014 at 6:51 PM ^
Not sure RichRod would have done any better at Bama than here. Remember, Bama was a mess at that time.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
Northwestern has a chance to tie it! The B1G still has a chance to have a perfect weekend.
August 30th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
HAnd sighting :(

21 pts on GA in Athens middle of 2nd Q... but the SEC is all about defense and all. As S.C. showed.
August 30th, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
NW falls.
August 30th, 2014 at 7:04 PM ^
Talk about a tale of 2 halfs. They easily won that second half just fell way too far behind early.
