It makes me a little sad that BYU is handling UConn. Also MSU's defense still seems very scary and at this rate Connor Cook will have 10 completions for 9 TDs.

The most exciting part of the night will be seeing Houston's stadium. 

They should be playing at the Astrodome. I mean, why waste money when you have a state-of-the-art facility already in Houston?

Man JState has had some solid play calls, their guys just can't execute. Lot's of open guys but nearly all have been dropped! If Sparty plays like this vs Oregon next week they're gonna get destroyed.

Crazy nice touch on that TD fade. And that receiver was a walk-on.

MSU looking excellent. Good for the conference, I guess.

That E Lansing game, if it wasn't before, is definitely looking like the toughest one on our schedule now.

I would the defending conference and Rose Bowl champs would look good against an average D2 program. Not much else to take away from this game.

They're talking about how MSU still has a chip on their shoulder even though they finished 3rd in the national polls last year. Think I'm gonna have to mute this.

Boeheim going for the stall.

But seriously folks, 'Nova ran drive for about six minutes to start, held 'Cuse on three downs and then ran into the punter for a penalty that gave 'Cuse the chance to get a 65-yard TD run by grad student Prince-Tyson Gulley.

'Nova dominating time of possession, but had a pass dropped in the red zone and missed a field goal from about the 34.

Will see whether 'Cuse draws more fans for football vs. 'Nova than it does for hoops vs. 'Nova. Playing the game indoors.  When it's 72 outdoors, the dome can feel like a sauna. Despite the name, the Carrier Dome has no air conditioning.

Al Groh (NY Jets head coach between Bill Parcells and Herman Edwards) is the analyst.  Jets Fans:  Rich Kotite was not available.
