Were they just playing commercials into the Nebraska game so you end up missing the turnover and touchdown live? Good job ESPN.
August 31st, 2019 at 2:59 PM ^
I caught the second defensive TD. I was checking the schedule and saw that there were some 2pm games, so I figured, what the hell.
And I know it is only the first game, but Nebraska's offense has be as scared as MSU's.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:17 PM ^
I may watch the first half of the Alabama Duke game if I don't end up watching a movie instead.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:47 PM ^
Haven't you heard? Martinez is one of the top 3 favorites to win the Heisman.
Stat line today: 13/22 for 178 yds. 0 TD's 1 INT.
Oh yeah he had 6 yds rushing too. 13 carries. (bad snap and couple sacks included)
August 31st, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Brandon Peters > Adrian Martinez
August 31st, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
Coulda swore I saw 2 ints. Maybe I’m losing it?
August 31st, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
Nah but Nebrasker lost at least 2 fumbles (maybe 3?). I knew S. Bama was gonna come to play, and I haven't bought into the Husker Hype.
August 31st, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
Whoever commented that shorting Martinez was a good bet was 100% correct. It's the same as a buying a zero coupon bond at roughly 91 or so and getting 100 back in 4 months.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:11 PM ^
Whose offense is worse? MSU or Nebraska?
August 31st, 2019 at 3:18 PM ^
That's a race to the bottom.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:19 PM ^
South Alabama should’ve won this game if their coach wasn’t an idiot and they had like 2 less turnovers. 5 turnovers gifted and Nebraska still can’t win by more than 2 possessions
August 31st, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Yup. SA backup QB has to come in for a play and the idiot has the kid throw the ball
August 31st, 2019 at 3:27 PM ^
None of these games are making time pass any faster. Not even the countdown this year helped, but thanks JWG(?) for your efforts.
It seems to be taking forever to get to watch a Michigan football game.
I decided to have a beer hoping to pass some time. Didn't work.
NOTHING IS WORKING!
Go Blue!
August 31st, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
Right there with you.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Time to have another beer then :)
August 31st, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
Ok, twist my arm.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
And THAT, folks, is why I don’t like Michigan playing afternoon or night games.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:27 PM ^
Go Idaho
Fuck Pedophile State
August 31st, 2019 at 3:31 PM ^
I think Kiffin and the S. Alabama coach went to the same coaching clinic over the summer
August 31st, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
Boise State / Florida State, though a noon game, is still going and is VERY intriguing......
If you're watching a snoozer, switch to ESPNNEWS
August 31st, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
Iowa St. - Northern Iowa is in double OT, but yeah, you're right, the BSU-FSU game is interesting. I saw FSU go up early and gave up on BSU.
In case anyone is wondering, UNI is wearing their UNI unis.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
I always love when Florida State loses, especially in front of an empty stadium
August 31st, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
Man. Osu looked like dogshit after the first 8 minutes.
Give whatever caveats you want about the score, but Fields should be in bubble wrap and Day still had him out there with 5 minutes to go
August 31st, 2019 at 3:40 PM ^
Fuck Al Washington and Greg Mattison, FAU scored 21 on them losers LOL
August 31st, 2019 at 3:40 PM ^
If Alabama’s OL play stays like this, the Duke / Alabama game could get interesting.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:42 PM ^
Waiting for Northwestern v Stanford. The marching bands will compete at spelling out differential equations on the field during halftime.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
UNI with 4th and 3 from 18. Looked like a TD but receivers knee was down inside the 10.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
Iowa St 23 UNI 16 2OT
August 31st, 2019 at 3:49 PM ^
What a scramble by UNIs QB. About 10 sec around the crumbling pocket to find a receiver wide open. XP pending to tie it at 23 will force 3OT
August 31st, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
What a TD by NIU! I thought the QB was insane for not just running for the first with more than enough in front of him and tosses one for the TD.
edit: No TD but still a big 4th down conversion.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:47 PM ^
This is another reason why it’s easy to get burned out on Alabama. The media wants to will them to a blowout win today because they feel sorry for them for getting killed in the title game last year.
It’s kind of like feeling sorry for a trust fund kid to wait an extra week to get their cash. They don’t need their hands held. Stop pitying them.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:49 PM ^
Field Goal Franklin strikes first.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
duke came out running the triple option nicccce
August 31st, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Why does UNI continue to run the ball??!! They have less than 50 yds rushing in regulation + 2 OTs. Every first down in OT has been a run for 0 or - yds.
August 31st, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
The leather helmet field logo in the Bama game looks like a UM helmet
August 31st, 2019 at 4:01 PM ^
Alabama and OSU called for holding in the same season. Times are a changing!
August 31st, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
That will change when we play them
August 31st, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
Well,
Bama certainly doesn't have the Gattis offense this year.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:05 PM ^
That sucks. Northern Iowa got hosed on that turnover giving Iowa st another fresh set of downs
August 31st, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
How did UNI get hosed? Looked pretty clear that Purdy recovered the fumble.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
watching some of these qbs the last couple of days makes me thankful we have shea
August 31st, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
Duke QB just got crunched at midfield, but this game is on track to be 0-0 at the start of the 2nd quarter. No way I would have predicted that.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
I love it that Duke is playing hard. Seriously we should make academic league. Get Duke, vandy, NW, Michi, Stanford, Washington etc. B1G with likes of OSU and MSU can go F themselves.
August 31st, 2019 at 6:36 PM ^
... and Pedo State. Don't forget Pedo State can go fuck themselves too. And when they are done fucking themselves, Pedo State can eat shit and die.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
W Taggart on hot seat ? Yes. Yes he is.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
Yay for Florida State losing! That makes me happy!!!!
August 31st, 2019 at 4:22 PM ^
Had something like 10 total yards in the 4th quarter, too.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
Damn I totally missed this. Flipping around other games. I thought this one was done.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:17 PM ^
Harris only suspended one qtr. Boy that Saban don’t fuck around
August 31st, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
Northwestern's shiny new QB with an inauspicious start to his Wildcat career.
