Gameday / Early Games Open Thread
The blog returns. Gameday is in Fargo. All of the noon games are boring. Actually Minnesota takes on San Jose State which features David Fales, a QB with legit NFL prospects. Will be interesting to see Minnesota against it's first non-abysmal competition. Upset watch in Minneapolis

VT friends some crap for this game. tied 14-14 with Marshall after barely beating East Carolina Last week. Really impressed with Marshall's QB Cato.
LOLZ Vandy tied with 0-3 UMASS in the second, 7-7 (!!!!!)

You may want to be careful talking too much trash after how last week went.

Whatever happened to Va Tech? They have had a lot of talent in Virginia the last 2 or 3 yrs and VT has gotten none of it. I mean how does that happen?

a lot of the top in-state talent in Virginia would leave the state. Usually VT would pick up or or two (typically the 4*/5* DTQB from the Tidewater area) but a lot of those guys would leave. Just go through the Rivals Virginia Top X players of any given year and I'd bet around half of the best player leave the state each year on average

PSU historically has recruited Virginia really well. I don't know if that's still the case, though.

With Hyde's first down before that drag of half of FAMU's defense there, Ohio State passed the 200-yard mark for this half. FAMU has managed all of 24 yards, on the other hand.

Lefty is OC at VT? No wonder they seem plodding like an ole michigan offense.
September 21st, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
At least he's doing the read option.

Got a 3-2 barn burner going on over on the CBS Sports Network. As a bonus, you get to see Army run the ball up the middle for two yards on every single play. It's like going back in time and seeing 1950's football.

30% chance of rain until midnight... so naturally it will be a torrential downpour for 4 hours.

Fales is damn good.

I switched to the other football and not even this Chelsea v Fulham game is interesting. I can't catch a break!

Mourinho just can't seem to figure it out lately. Maybe he's lost his touch.

I get that Mata doesn't fit Jose's preferred style but he's too good to bench. Looks like Chelsea finally realized Fulham is not good and started playing better.
Chelsea discussion in the noon game thread = super slow day.
September 21st, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
The Special One will figure it out.

FAMU shows that great "Cover Who?" defense and Guiton throws to the customary receiver that no one remembered was there. That makes 326 yards of offense in the half for Ohio State.

OSU is gaining more yards per play by rushing (8.4 ypr) than passing (6.4 ypp).
September 21st, 2013 at 1:34 PM ^
34 passes, 13 carries
Stay classy OSU...

I like soccer, but calling it "football" is pretentious. We're not Brits.
September 21st, 2013 at 1:55 PM ^
Calling it "soccer" would've defeated his joke
September 21st, 2013 at 1:36 PM ^
So four touchdown passes in a quarter, six in a half, is that some kind of OSU record?
On a related note, do the Buckeyes have any other backup QBs they can throw in? Maybe some that suck?
September 21st, 2013 at 1:40 PM ^
September 21st, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
there are 4 freshmen QB's. Maybe Cardale Jones??
September 21st, 2013 at 1:45 PM ^
September 21st, 2013 at 1:37 PM ^
Jesus Christ. Ohio 55, FAMU 0 at HALF???

In a limited defense of this, SJSU-Minnesota is at least interesting and features a very, very good David Fales. The OSU-FAMU game sadly only features bloodshed and other assorted violence.

engineers trying to crowd surf the mascot look soooo awkward.
September 21st, 2013 at 1:42 PM ^
Will Ohio Score 100?
Also can't believe Ohio went for it on 4th down from the 30 on the last drive of the half.
September 21st, 2013 at 1:52 PM ^
scoring record for one game, you better believe St. Meyer will go for it.
