What the hell are they doing there? How does Francois not know to get that in the end zone at this point?
September 15th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
Great showing from the BIG 10s newest members today.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
Halftime thoughts from channel surfing.
KU might outscore OSU vs. Rutgers?
FSU QB looks completely broken - fluttering balls when pressure even gets close to him, probably need to pull him for a half or a game to see if a backup can do more. FSU defense looks a bit like M’s last year - frustration with the O and trying to do to much (but with more personal fouls, which is the Florida/FSU/Miami way).
Most B1G teams look like butt so far today - The terps may have suckered me in to thinking they weren’t bad. We should crush UN. PSU just looks incomplete but I guarantee Franklin will run up the score for better optics.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:55 PM ^
FSU has the same problem we do: cannot pass protect at all. Except their secondary blows.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:59 PM ^
That might be the end of it for Troy. :(
September 15th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Or not, given that Nebraska somehow couldn't punch it in...
September 15th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Seeing what Temple is currently doing to Maryland (at College Park)... really makes me wonder how bad Texas will be the rest of this season.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
is this going to turn into a game?
September 15th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Had no idea that is what Lady Gaga looked like.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
Iowa St. with 2 NFL players on offense. Montgomery is a great runner and this Butler out wide is a 6'6 matchup nightmare
September 15th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
They really trying to give Nebraska the game
September 15th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
1st and goal Syracuse.
Make that touchdown Syracuse.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
My God, FSU is baaaaaad.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
1. Let's steal some FSU recruits
2. PSU is good or average? Playing garbage teams. Why the hell didn't we do that for all 3 of our games
3. Clemson is the #2 team ????
September 15th, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
How did FSU go from national champ to this? Did Jimbo just start mailing it in after the title?
September 15th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Didn't recruit or develop linemen. They've been terrible Francois' entire career and how he's got the thing Gardner had.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:44 PM ^
Greg Frey OL looks bad
September 15th, 2018 at 2:47 PM ^
Isn't Maryland supposed to be semi-legit this year? They're down two TDs to 0-2 Temple.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
FSU players clearly are not buying what Taggart is selling to them
September 15th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
Does anyone else stream using YouTube or psvue notice the commercial time a lot more now? I’m watching Clemson on ESPN, and I feel like the “Commercial break. We’ll be right back.” Screensaver and it’s stupid little bass jingle has been on my screen for hours.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
I'm about sick and tired of being told to be blimp-worthy. I DON'T WANT TO.
Troy ups their lead though!!!
September 15th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Remember when Nebraska fired Bo Pelini? Lol
September 15th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Nebraska football. Wow.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Troy is now up 11 @Nebraska. Troy lost by 36 at home to Boise State last week.
Nebraska, you are butt.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
And Nebraska is in trouble
September 15th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
Uh. I apologize. The Blackshirts are AWOL folks.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
We can use that "BIG TENNNNN!" expression again this year. God, this conference SUCKS!
September 15th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
To be fair they're starting a walk-on at QB, but still, Nebraska getting roasted at home vs Troy is pretty bad. If Martinez is out next week I don't see how Nebraska is even as good as Western overall.
I think Frost will get them back eventually, but the QB depth and defensive talent is going to take years to rebuild.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:00 PM ^
Will September 1, 2019 also be Scott Frost day in Nebraska?
September 15th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
Millen better not be calling our game...
September 15th, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
That ref crew in Lincoln has called 16 penalties in the game today. Jesus.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
The Troy player never touched the guy's facemask. At all.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
Iowa State converted a 4th & 11 but eventually only got a field goal. With 10 minutes left 34-27 OU.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
Did not like that 2nd down wildcat run. Take a shot a the corner again.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
that ball was in the air forever. Surprised it wasn't picked off
September 15th, 2018 at 3:07 PM ^
Nebraska is trash and Scott Frost should feel bad.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:11 PM ^
Chris Ash may not be allowed to get on the plane
September 15th, 2018 at 3:15 PM ^
Here we go. Nebraska has a shot.
Edit: Cancel that. Nebraska just threw an interception.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Not anymore. INT!
September 15th, 2018 at 3:18 PM ^
How many hits did Nebraska have this week?
September 15th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Textbook intentional grounding against Nebraska on first down, completely ignored (passer was out of the pocket but the ball didn't get back to the line of scrimmage).
Karma on second down.
Go Troy Trojans of Troy, Alabama (We're from Troy!)
September 15th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Husker nooooooooooooooo! or Frosty noooooooooooooooo!
September 15th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
man, nebraska 0-2
September 15th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
Terps, NO!
Huskers, NO!
September 15th, 2018 at 3:18 PM ^
Nebraska outgained the crap out of them - and NU 22 first downs vs. Troy's 11
But 3 turnovers is tough to overcome
September 15th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
Nebraska's defense was boom-or-bust.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:18 PM ^
I wonder if Frost is on the hot seat yet?
September 15th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
First down, game over Troy
September 15th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
Troy taking out The Fighting Frosts.
September 15th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
B1G not looking so hot this year.
