Noon games open thread
Not a great slate but some interesting games going on. Nebraska-NW is intriguing. Ohio State got a favorable, non-reviewed 4th down conversion and scored immediately after. Will be interesting to see if Auburn's decided lack of offense makes the Tennessee game interesting

Keep crying
October 13th, 2018 at 2:47 PM ^
OSU has to be outscored. They score nearly every possession.
Minn missing that FG killed them. Thye have to get TD this time or OSU will get at least another FG.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
They have 23 points after 50 minutes, let's not get carried away here.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
Urban Meyer doesn’t look like he’s having much fun.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
He’s no Zach Smith.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
Tennessee up 27-17 on Auburn. The pollsters may have to finally bite the bullet and drop Auburn from the rankings.
Or they'll probably see SEC next to their name and drop them one spot.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
It’s just proof that Tennessee is back. The Vols should really be in the top 25. Thing about the SEC is it’s just so tough with all those great teams beating up on each other. Can’t drop Auburn after a hard-fought road loss against a virtual top-10 team.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
Wow, that trick play by Minnesota, turned out perfectly.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Northwestern keeps committing killer turnovers. Nebraska just might do it.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
The Nuts defense scares nobody.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Put that on a line, freshman. So much air on it for the safety to get over.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
GD! Freshmen walk on QBs! Geeze. Seriously, you don't think the safety can't get there?
October 13th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
Safety!
October 13th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
Down by contact in the endzone.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
Wow, Prince is a turnstile.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
Pretty encouraging that OSU doesn’t have a better RT than Prince.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
I wouldn't fuck those female Nebraska fans with any of your dicks.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
Really? Cuz I'd raw dog the back door with yours :)
October 13th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
Not exactly what we do here.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
Really? Cause I'm kind of desperate so I don't think I'd mind...
October 13th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
Prince playing like a pauper.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
Ohio St. line looks susceptible today. Chase and Rashan look like they could take advantage in November. Also whoever said to stay the hell away from a -30pt spread...was spot on.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
I don’t think OSU is elite.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
So if osu is just “great”, does that mean psu is only “good”?
October 13th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
Prince not getting called for a false start amazes me. He stands right before ball is hiked.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
I love that pull and pass play up the middle.....miss it from the RR days.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
Shea hit it to Gentry last week for ~20 yards...
October 13th, 2018 at 3:07 PM ^
Did he really? The one where the QB takes a step looking like a run and then pulls it out for a pass? I must have missed it...back to the UFR I go!
October 13th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
Man, PJ and the crew are dialing up some nice plays. Too bad they're not working with experienced 3*s.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:04 PM ^
Four down territory Gophers
October 13th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
odd play calling if you know you're in 4 down territory for Minnesota....
October 13th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
Fleck has sucked in this game. Poor use of timeouts, failure to challenge that spot early on, the end of the first half. Really poor game management.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
That's how it works for Urban
October 13th, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
Each time I've switched over to the Minnesota game, OSU has started doing good things. There, the 3rd down pass was dropped. So I'm out. That game - UMinn - needs help. They don't need my bad superstitions getting in the way.
They should win now. You can thank me later...
October 13th, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
How is Minnesota out of time outs already?
Also, they need to throw the ball to a guy not being covered by Okudah.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
It seems like # 1 for Northwestern's only job is to be in the area when Thorson has to otherwise spike the ball to avoid a sack.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
Ballgame.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
Minnesota . . . SMH.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
I have no idea how to view Iowa this year. They look good on offense and defense, but it's also...Iowa. And their schedule is pretty flat thus far, so it's hard to know.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:15 PM ^
Iowa is Michigan of the west.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:09 PM ^
That’s not going to aggravate the cyst.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
Thorson's pocket presence today has been less than stellar.
Still a ballgame though. 31-24 Nebraska with 2:27 left.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
Yeah, that was bad. If the guy’s not open, wing it over his head.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:13 PM ^
Does Maryland winning big and the NE/NU game tell us anything about Michigan?
October 13th, 2018 at 3:15 PM ^
The entire travel squad is going to play when we go to NJ. Could get 2016 ugly given the restrictions on numbers for that travel squad.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Two things:
1. Michigan is pretty decent and improving.
2. College football is weird.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
It's Rutgers, so no that game tells us nothing. Their QB had a negative efficiency rating today.
Nebraska's offense looking really good when they don't play us is worth noting, I think.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
Maryland winning big means they played Rutgers.
NW-NU being a good game is positive in general because Michigan won both, but if Michigan is going to play well enough where their strength of schedule/quality wins becomes a relevant point, you want teams like NW and Maryland to win a bunch and for sad-sack teams like Nebraska and the like to not cannibalize those wins by beating higher-regarded opponents.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
Is Dave going to call that a "sad touchdown"? Seems like it. You can go one of two ways. You can say, damn that's some confidence in the QB and receivers. Or you can ask when was the last time that Ohio State didn't have <insert metaphor> to run out the clock against Minnesota?
