#7 Alabama vs #11 Tennessee is a one this weekend! Let’s go Vols! Hoping Will Brooks has a good one at Safety.

#24 Michigan vs #22 Illinois is more up my alley. Much more going on in terms of “our” guys. I was feeling good about Illinois chances, until they gave up 49 points to Purdue last week.

Nebraska vs #16 Indiana is another Big Ten game of note. I’d say Nebraska has a good shot at the upset here. Black shirts ranked Top 5 in Defense. Rourke vs Raiola is a great QB matchup.

Wisconsin vs Northwestern is the 3rd Big Ten I’d keep an eye on. Badgers offense finally has a pulse and their Defense has tightened up, led by ball hawking Safeties in Wohler and Zachman. Locke at least looking competent. Fickell wants Yacamelli to be a good goy and keep riding the bench, do what’s best for the team blah, blah. But everytime he steps on the field he’s busting a run.

#FreeYAC

30 Carries for 264 yards and a TD!

8.8 average!

How can he ever compete with Darrion Dupree’s 33 for 111 and a TD?! 3.4ypc for the Explosive Chicago back LOL.

For NU, they have a stellar snow patrol led by Mueller and Uihlein! At QB they have a QB breakout candidate in Jack Lausch. Dual threat took over at week 2 and has cats on track. 6’2 210 Redshirt Sophomore has some wheels and can sling it, but needs more work on his accuracy.

726 yards @53%.
4TDs 2INTs
37 rushes for 132 yards and a TD.

Nice write-up @Bucky

Tomorrow night Oregon plays Purdue. Looks like the Boilermakers are new QB Ryan Browne's team after Hudson Card struggled so far this season. Would love to see an upset here, it's a longshot stranger things have happened.

Oklahoma St vs BYU - BYU sits at 6-0 and is pretty White friendly this year, hopefully Chase Roberts has a breakout game. Ok St benches Alex Bowman for Garret Rangel. The Cowboys have struggled this season and their preseason Heisman favorite RB has disappeared from the conversation.

Arizona St vs Cincinatti - Looking forward to seeing QB Brendan Sorsby in action along with dynamic RB Cam Skattebo. It's a shame ASU QB Sam Leavitt is out this week. Backup quota Jeff Sims has stunk at his other two landing spots, lets hope he is good enough to keep defenses somewhat honest so they don't stack the line vs Skattebo.

Notre Dame vs Ga Tech - two of the best dual threat QBs in the country face off in this one - Riley Leonard and Haynes King. Leonard had a strong game passing last week so hopefully the Irish continue to open up the offense and throw more this week.

UGA vs Texas will be a huge game with playoff and NFL draft implications. Beck and Ewers are the two best QBs in the country so it will be entertaining watching them face off against each other. Both teams have Whites on defense and offense as well. Looking forward to this game.

Likewise buddy.

Action packed weekend Of football no doubt. Should be good viewing.

Brock Glenn starting for FSU with Uiagalalei out for the season. Hope he has a strong second half of the season for Free Shoes and they beat Duke tonight.

Fsu’s mainly black offensive line is beyond terrible. And not only are they awful they are even worse teammates. Fsu (white) qb got hit low by a duke lineman and his knee was bent back while lying contorted on the ground. The duke players got up very slow keeping the fsu qb in this very unsafe position to the point I’m shocked he didn’t tear any ligaments. But the sumos just stand there not pushing duke players off their qb, and getting in their face at all! Pathetic display by a team that quit after week 2

And still, one of those black boys are definetly gonna get drafted by the NFL as a mediocre [insert position] despite the atrocious record and plays

This BYU Game is too close to call. Hope they can hang on!

BYU with a wild win.
Last minute TD pass. Not as excited about BYU as I used to.
But good for them.

Lassiter is a very good receiver and he had a great game but they ignore Chase Roberts most of the time. He is as talented!

Not only do the linemen suck, so do the receivers. Saw multiple outright drops and other times the wr’s displayed alligator arms afraid to make a tough catch but I bet a decent amount of players on this fsu team get drafted bc of that “upside”. They suck in college but somehow they’ll be better going against professional players smh

 

[Leonardfan]

Glad BYU pulled out the last minute upset! Three White DBs with INTs in the game too

 

[Leonardfan]

Hopefully we get more activity in the college football and weekly nfl threads. A bit of a disappointment.

 

[Bucky]

I’ll be tuning into the Wisconsin vs Northwestern game. Indiana and Nebraska on at noon as is Skattebo in an early matchup with ASU Vs Cincinnati!

 

[Bucky]

Clemson should continue rolling against Virginia

 

[Bucky]

Looks like GA Tech’s QB Haynes King is out today.

 

[Leonardfan]

Dickell not giving YAC any carries yet

 

[Leonardfan]

Colandrea for UVA is a fun QB to watch, reminds me alot of Klubnik actually.

 

[Leonardfan]

Army is a machine this year. QB Bryson Daily is tied for 2nd with 15 rushing TDs on top of his 6 passing TDs

 

[Leonardfan]

Oklahoma's savior quota with 2 turnovers - an INT and fumble so far with 10:37 left in the first quarter. Venables should have let Jackson Arnold remain the starter and learn this season.

Edit: just threw a pick 6 at the 9:40 minute mark in the 1st quarter. Oklahoma down 21-0

 

[Warhawk_46]

Is Yamicelli hurt? Not a single carry yet today…

 

[Bucky]

YAC got a short carry for a TD but is getting typical treatment for a White RB. No respect.

The freshman number two back Dupree had 3 carries for 2 yards last time I looked. About 3 ypc for the year, also.
He continues to get more, and earlier, carries than Yac.
Good to see the TD. Hopefully their block head coach gives him more carries in the second half.

DWFs claim Dupree is a better receiver. Which may be true, based on his stats stinking carrying, but looking okay catching.

Either way feed YAC!

Damn pretty sure Skattebo just coughed up his 1st career fumble.
