Evening game thread

Submitted by St Joe Blues on September 17th, 2022 at 7:30 PM

There are a couple of interesting / big games going on this evening.

  • Toledo just cut through OSU's defense like they were playing UConn. 7-7  5 minutes into the game, plus OSU's Henderson just went into the locker room.
  • Staee goes to Washington
  • #13 Miami tries to knock #24 Texas A&M out of the top 25
  • Iowa tries for its 2nd TD of the season against Nevada
  • Plus others

The right call.

If Washington scores a TD here this game might get out of hand for MSU.  They don't have a ton of offensive firepower and that defense still can't stop anyone in the air.

Mel Tucker’s stupid ass look after that goal line stand has officially done it for me…I officially can’t stand the dipshit. He deserved that safety. I wish Michigan would blank them this year and shut his ass up.

Don't look now but Maryland's offense looks bad against a semi-competent SMU defense and their defense still looks like trash.  It might not be until October that this team plays anyone who can conceivably challenge them.

They just showed a closeup of the 1970 Washington quarterback who helped turn the program around that season.

Fun Fact: Michigan traveled to Seattle that year.  It was Bo’s second season.  Michigan won 17-3.

Half of the Big Ten looks like absolute trash today. But UM won big and thats ALL that matters. Love seeing purple face getting beat too. Only thing that would have topped today is if Notre Dame had lost and OSU loses to Toledo.

So, three cupcakes will make you look good (if you play them, not eat them).  With the Kansas game over, Michigan has the most points through three games, though USC can equal if they also score 59 tonight against Fresno State (not a cupcake).  I suppose if Miami scores 66 against A&M they tie as well.

On defense, two teams with three games played have given up less than Michigan's 17: Georgia (10 & Ole Miss 13).  Iowa gave up 10 in 2 games, and is shutting out Nevada.  James Madison gave up 14 in 2 games, but doesn't play today.  Texas A&M also has 17 but is playing Miami.

That's a really nice defensive line call by Washington to get that sack.

Also, MSU looks absolutely shook right now on offense - without Walker they can't consistently move the ball on the ground behind their leaky line and with Reed out they lack anything resembling a consistent downfield threat.
