    Texas is allowing just 5.5 points per game

    I love that stat. We’ve always been able to play offense, but we have struggled with defense for so long. Coach K has really been transformative to our program

      I HATE TAKING POINTS OFF THE BOARD.

      This might be my biggest pet peeve in football. You kick a FG and get 3 points. Why accept the offsides penalty and try going for it on 4th? I’ve seen it fail way more than it be successful. Just keep the points! All you’re doing is giving momentum to the other team

      Also love the stat that Texas is one of four programs to have yet to trail this season (the others being Tennessee, Indiana, and Army). Really looked like that was in jeopardy but we held them to another field goal. Gotta get more points soon though

    These announcers are gonna make this CO game awful. It’s been 15 minutes of throating CO. “Travis Hunter is top .001% WR”, “It’s just him and OBJ making catches like that”, “CO is 3-1 because of their passing, and they’re running the ball right now, unstoppable”.

    I’m sure Hunter is good, but idk if he’s comparable to OBJ yet, and they went 3-1 last year.

    Why is Louisville-ND on Peacock? This is not going to get people to subscribe to Peacock. NBC would certainly get more eyeballs and ad money if it were on broadcast TV

      Yeah the Chinese fire drill FG is just fucking dumb

      Also are we allowed to say Chinese fire drill these days? Asking for a friend who wants to be respectful of all cultures

    Decided to play some cornhole in the yard. WVU on bye, it’s nice to have a free weekend. Just been checking in on games for hour or so.

    Got me thinking. I coulda been a Bama fan. Saban is from here, the connection exists. Instead I just decide to be sad every weekend

    Did I hear that one of Ole Miss’s defenders goes by the nickname “Poo”? I swear every week I hear an even more bizarre nickname in a random game. I’m starting to feel like a lot of these players are playing practical jokes on the sportscasters

    TCU @ KU

    Frogs trying desperately to find a way to lose this game, but failing so far. Great punt return.

    Alabama is just eating Georgia’s lunch right now. I don’t think either team is really built to come back from a big deficit, so this could become a blowout

        I tuned back in about halfway through the 4th. Absolutely wild ending.

        I kind of thought Georgia wasn’t as vaunted as they were made out to be going into this one, so the yuuuuge lead Alabama built up felt like proof of that. But with the script flipped in the second half, now I don’t know what to make of Bama. Maybe they’re both really good, or maybe they’re both slight imposters. I think the October 19th games (Bama @ UT and UGA @ UT) will actually tell us how legit these 2 teams are
