Watching the Texas / Oklahoma game, where Baker Mayfield threw a perfect dart that was caught and coughed up about two seconds after it was caught for Texas' first INT this year. I guess there will be a "YOU HOLD ONTO THE BALL, YES?" discussion at halftime now....again, in Oklahoma's case.

Putting a "C" on the jersey for the captain looks cool in hockey but in football, it looks cheap.  On football uniforms, simpler is better.

NC State needs to try and kick again here.

Get 3 points...if you miss, then maybe you go for it. But you have to go for the points...also may need a FG late in the game. Kick the damn ball.

I am not going to go so far as to say that ohio state is mediocre...but after watching oklahoma play the past few weeks, their defense is just garbage. I think Michigan would have stoned oklahoma more, and maybe have put up just as many points as osu. Or close to it.

I watched most of the OSU-Oklahoma game, and OSU pretty much let up on the pedal/cleared the benches after going up 42-17 early in the 3rd quarter. If the starters were left in the whole game, it would have looked a lot worse for Oklahoma.

i agree that OU may not be that good, but it was the way OSU won that surprised me. With so much youth in a very hostile stadium they played almost mistake free football and they destroyed OU. I think Michigan would beat OU but we have a shit ton of upperclassmen. OSU did it with 13 new starters

Talent > experience in my opinion. Confidence is 80% of success at this level of football. Talent breeds confidence. I really wasn't surprised they beat them the way they did with a young team.

I was surprised that oklahoma couldnt cover noah brown to save their life, or stop the run consistently. OSU wasn't even running any sophisticated offensive plays 3/4 of the time. 3 of their touchdows were basic chuck it up jump balls.

If they try that against UM, assuming we stay healthy, I like our chances is what I am trying to say I suppose.

I had no plans to watch ND-NC State until the downpour.  The weather may now make this the most compelling game of the afternoon.

Our game at Northwestern in 1998 (the Justin Fargas game) was played in a continuous downpour like this but the wind wasn't blowing like this, I believe.

That game ended 12-6. This game may end 3-0.

You deserve to turn the ball over for running a jet sweep in these conditions...horrible playcall.

Who's going to turn it up field and do anything positive in this weather?
