Week 7 kicked off on Wednesday and saw Troy get upset by South Alabama. This was the same Troy team that upset LSU earlier this year.

Tonight Clemson faces Syracuse - their black quarterback is injured but sounds like he will play. Syracuse does have a good QB - Eric Dungey who may be able to give Clemson a scare tonight. An upset would be a nice way to kick off the weekend.

Washington St. faces off against Cal in what should be a good game. I hope Falk continues his impressive play since the hiccup with Boise St. I hope Laird gets alot of carries tonight as well.

Some games of interest tomorrow:

TCU vs. Kansas St - Hopefully Ertz is back in the lineup this week. TCU has not been an overly impressive offensive team this year and KSU usually plays good football and has defeated hyped black quarterbacks like Geno Smiff and the Gremlin. I think they have a good shot to defeat TCU with Ertz healthy.

Texas Tech vs. WVU - Hopefully Grier continues his great season and Sills catches a few more TDs tomorrow

Rutgers vs. Illinois - Epstein and Dudek should put up big numbers tomorrow.


Oklahoma vs. Texas - Mayfield needs to have a big game as the "experts" are beginning to question his next level projections even though he is having a great season. They are saying that he makes to many plays off script and improvises - the same things that got 2 black quarterbacks drafted in the first round last year.

Ok St vs. Baylor - Mason Rudolph needs another strong game to also quiet many of the "experts" doubting him as a first rounder.

Ohio St. vs Nebraska - hopefully the Cornhuskers can pull off this upset.

Utah vs. USC - Everyone is criticizing Darnold which is laughable. He has his team at 5-1. He is one of if not the best QBs college football.

Looks like Wazzu layed a dud...Falk with 5 ints :detenido:

Still ecstatic that Clemson lost. Now the media will push Ohio St. back into the top 4 now for a playoff spot.

I'm curious -- why the dislike of Clemson? They have 7 White starters according to their write-up, and TwentyTwo noted they played as many as five Whites on defense during one game. I watched a few minutes of their game last night against Syracuse "Black is the New Orange" and was hoping Clemson would win as Syracuse was fielding its best imitation of Grambling.

David "the Prodigy" Sills with the Nation's Leading 10th TD catch...from 31 yards! Still learning the WR position...

Dylan Cantrell nice catch for TD...Already 5 rec for 51 yards in 1st Qtr.

Clemson has bucked the trend..there are more white players on this roster than 10-15 years ago...
Zerrick Cooper is a "Redshirt" freshman...was ok but nothing special last night. Only time will tell for true freshman Hunter Johnson..there are some schools that just never seem start white QB's ... so understand the frustration.

Syracuse QB Eric Dungey is pretty good.

Very white friendly game for Texas Tech vs West Virginia!
2 white QB's, 2 fantastic receivers in Sills and Cantrell
Quite a few defensive players as well, Eli Howard just made a sack for TTU

Not sure, because they are at least trending in the right direction, even if it may be temporary. I was hoping they would beat Syracuse as well. My guess is because of Clemson's penchant to recruit and play black quarterbacks (all the way back to Homer Jordan back in the very early 80's) whereas Syracuse started a White QB that may have a chance of getting drafted into the NFL.

Are we looking at the next Jordy Nelson, in David Sills??

Also Dylan Cantrell had a nice game, with 8 rec for 85 yards and a TD! Sills looks to have already solidified himself as an early-round selection in the 2018 draft. Dylan Cantrell on the other hand is trying to prove he's more than another white UDFA, and hopefully his performance against this good W.Virginia side boosts' his draft stock!!
