Minnesota is clocking Colorado - might be the best of the West
September 17th, 2022 at 5:59 PM ^
ND just won 24-17. Bummer... Also, PSU is throttling Auburn 24-6, but they don't look especially good doing it. Nothing to be scared of, anyway.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:03 PM ^
Auburn looks like swamp ass. Bryan Harsin should be fired tomorrow.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
Dang, that hail mary was close. Notre Dame is basically exactly as good as Cal, so that's not great.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
Cal player had the heave in this hands laying on the ground in the end zone and drops it

Wheres the potato salad
September 17th, 2022 at 6:04 PM ^
Enough with this stupid video.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Please stop.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:03 PM ^
I'm watching Michigan vs UConn. Michigan is currently up 7-0 but just went 3 and out and their second series of the game.
Not feeling great about this one so far.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:29 PM ^
They'll be talking about this loss for years. UConn shocked the world. I can't believe they were capable of playing like that, and Michigan didn't seem to either.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:12 PM ^
I know it’s better for the Big Ten but….ugh. I hate Penn State. And Notre Dame can suck it.
Last week was overall better compared to today. But all will be forgiven if Washington beats Sparty.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:14 PM ^
Can’t tell what’s real and fake with Penn State. They’re running the ball pretty well and they’re rushing the passer pretty well… both things I didn’t think they could do well this year and both things I would rather that they suck at when we play them
September 17th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Auburn might not be a good team but they’re an SEC team getting pounded in their home stadium and it’s not fluky. PSU is running the ball very effectively from what I’ve seen.
Their defense looks decent as well. A head coach is only as good as his assistants and hiring Diaz as DC was a smart move by Frames.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
They're not real. And they're not even spectacular.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:12 PM ^
It’s sorta ridiculous to see people dismissing PSU’s victory on the road because “Auburn stinks” after we’ve played baby seals at home who don’t have a fraction of the physical talent that the average SEC team has.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:33 PM ^
This is wishful thinking. I don't like them, either, and just how good they are is certainly TBD. But they just pasted Auburn at Auburn, and they're going to take a leap up the polls.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
I’m amazed at how Clifford takes a pounding week after week and is somehow no worse for the wear.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:15 PM ^
Penn State might be our toughest game outside of November 26th. I'm not sold on Auburn though.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:17 PM ^
Auburn definitely stinks.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Auburn is a dumpster fire, still not very often a team goes into jordan hare and dominates like that. I feel gross rooting for penn st, but i hate the sec
September 17th, 2022 at 7:06 PM ^
Auburn is absolute garbage. They won't make a bowl and Harsin will be fired by midseason.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:16 PM ^
I'm quite surprised at the Penn State / Auburn game. It just seems like this years big ten teams outside maybe osu and Michigan are straight up garbage possibly. But maybe not as bad as I thought.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
Auburn is baaaaad. I was kind of looking forward to this game until I read how they had to hold on to barely beat a BAD San Jose State team at home last week.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:31 PM ^
Harsin (?) won't last the season. He may not last the month.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:07 PM ^
Honestly, Auburn's AD should fire him tomorrow.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:21 PM ^
B1G recovering nicely now.
But Nebraska/Purdue/Northwestern... wow.
And Indiana/Rutger nearly disastrous. Thankfully, the East teams were the ones that escaped.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:36 PM ^
Been impressed with what I have seen of PSU. We will need a healthy OL and DL for that one. Their DE's get after the QB.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
Bigten East recovering nicely. Fixed it for you. The west sucks ass!
September 17th, 2022 at 6:52 PM ^
Pat Fitzgerald, let him replace Jim Harbaugh, oh god, oh god, let him replace Jim Harbaugh.
/Yes, that's some pretty thick sarcasm.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
Is Auburn really bad or did Penn St. find something?
September 17th, 2022 at 6:39 PM ^
Penn State with a run game is a completely different beast than the team we seen last year. Not to mention we were fortunate to face a hobbled Clifford.
Still early in the season and a lot more data points to come, but Penn State looks good. Good thing we get that at home.
Where did this true freshman LB come from, btw? He was like there 11th or 12th rated recruit but his physical traits scream 5*.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:43 PM ^
Auburn has played Mercer and San Jose State. They beat San Jose State by 8. They appear to be bad.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:48 PM ^
I find that somewhat reassuring. Thanks.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:56 PM ^
Auburn is not good, especially on offense, but they still have athletes on defense and what’s notable is that Penn State didn’t look like this on the ground at all last year.
They hadn’t had a 100 yd rusher in a year in a half and now their big recruit has back-to-back big games well over 100. Last yr against Auburn they had 84 yds rushing. This year they’re already at 245.
Auburn being bad doesn’t mean that Penn State hasn’t improved and visually it’s pretty apparent. It’s like watching JJ vs Cade and being able to see the difference physically. Our cupcake opening 3 games doesn’t change that.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:09 PM ^
PSU has definitely improved compared to last season, but Auburn also looks to have quit on Harsin.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:45 PM ^
Crap. Penn State looks good. Heck I'd say Penn State looks better than OSU rn to me. Small sample size but going into Aurburn, no matter how bad they may be, ans completely dominating them, you'd have to be good to do that.
Big ten west. What a F'in joke. The league is horribly split.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:45 PM ^
LSU can't do anything on offense, but Leach goes for it on 4th and 1 from his own 29 instead of trying to pin LSU deep. Failed. Come on, man.
edit. And then Miss St. picks up a turn over on the next play. Nice!
September 17th, 2022 at 6:46 PM ^
App State just won on a last second, tipped ball Hail Mary against Troy.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:05 PM ^
The hightlight is crazy. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
September 17th, 2022 at 8:16 PM ^
I think that it might be time to crown App State as this year's CHAOSTEAM.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:47 PM ^
Danielson forced to pump up Penn State like they aren't the third or 4th best team in the B1G east. Maybe they're better than that but I'll put my money on Auburn being ass.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:48 PM ^
When will the Penn State fanbase turn against Clifford in favor of the Allar? I hear that's a thing fanbases do now.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:15 PM ^
It’s hilarious how you believe that JJ starts only because Harbaugh “caved to the fanbase” and not because he might actually be the better player.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:49 PM ^
I had to look up what a Salukis is.
It's an abjectly obscure football team, that got blown out 2 weeks ago by another abjectly obscure team, Incarnate Word, that just beat Northwestern.
Where's all those people today who are always rabid for Pat Fitzgerald to coach Michigan?
BTW, a Saluki (name origin: Salucia, a name of one of the cities in the Bible) is a very slender, mix breed dog, that can run 43 mphs.... just in case you were wondering class.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:52 PM ^
How many fakes out of 5 on that time?
Let's see that dog at the combine.
September 17th, 2022 at 6:54 PM ^
After these afternoon b10 blowouts wrap up, nomconference matchups will be:
B10 East: 16-0
B10 West: 10-7
B10 East is 2-0 so far against B10 West.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:00 PM ^
Anyone going to watch Wash v State?
Go WASHINGTON!!!
September 17th, 2022 at 7:11 PM ^
Absolutely. My son is very excited as he wants to be a Husky.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:18 PM ^
Having my toddler in front of me I read this as your son wants to be a dog?
