what are your thoughts on yesterdays D1 games
ill start with one near and dear to some of you up in the KC area.
watched that neb GASO game last night. Jesus! Scott Frost is in trouble.
the black shirts need to do something about that DC. he got eaten alive and the DLine stopped absolutely NO running. 5.7 yards per carry.
GA punted for the first time half way through the 3rd quarter.
i have a personal connection to Casey Thompson. i've known him since he was a young tike. coached against him in little league and went to middle school and high school with his mother. great kid and he seemed to be the only spark for nebish last night. i wish Lincoln riley would have gone after him instead of a few they went after. he seriously wanted to play for OU. you probably know his dad....google Charles Thompson and sports illustrated and look for images. if you've been around since the 70s...you've definitely seen that picture.
anyway, Casey seems to be the only player keeping that offense moving. i think neb has always been my second favorite team behind OU my entire life. at least since i discovered football back when i started playing. it sucks to see Nebraska down so bad especially with OU heading to see them this week.
the game i was more interested in was texASS and bama. my thought was bama really thought they were going to be able to walk in and tell them what they were going run and the texas defense woudnt be able to stop them. texas played better than ive seen them in 10 years and bama played very sloppy. ANNNNDDD they played at DKR stadium lol. you dont just walk out of that place without being heavily penalized. bama had 15 penalties for 100 yards. texas had zero for zero yards. glad it was that close. i kind of wished i could have woken up this morning and see them still playing into the 45th OT at a 0-0 tie.
of note: Gary Patterson as a DC is scary. that dude has nothing to think about other than worry about defense??? jesus.
AandM deserved that ass kicking in my mind. app state has a history and TAMU didn't respect it. they've spent so much cash on buying wins and still haven't been able to. i love it. I'm a big fan of building a foundation first. otherwise, you're just putting lipstick on a pig. i also dislike relying solely on juco transfers. they serve a purpose in small doses. if you have a large roster of juco players, you typically turn the team into a gaggle of individuals who turn the program into a juco school. i mean, a majority of the time, there is a huge reason they started at JUCO. Oklahoma state is a good example. they got an injection of millions of dollars back about 15 years ago and the team got much worse. and eventually has gotten slowly better. it took Gundy threatening to leave several times and getting many raises but they've finally gotten better and consistently staying in the top 25. but to begin with, the kids ONLY wanted to come to OSU for all the pretty uniform combinations and JUCOs were dying to get in. they had a lot of bad apples there to begin with.
anyway,
the other funny was ND losing to a Mathew mahgdoimghey led marshal team at home.
