[Diable]

Duke just punted for 79 yards...that ball was on remote control I think.

[Nimreitz]

First legitimately interesting game is UCLA vs. Baylor tonight. Looking forward to seeing my two fantasy QBs dual it out.

[Nimreitz]

Well this game sucks.

[Dissonance]

In related news, VT still sucks.

[rocketeer]

oregon state completely gave the game away against texas. we couldn't stop the run at all and oregon state abandoned the run with a 10 point lead and let okafor make himself some money with 5.5 sacks on the night. i guess i'll take it though.

[Geaux Tigers]

Anyone got any score predictions for the LSU/Clemson game?

[Dissonance]

Hm. 31-10 LSU.

[Nimreitz]

Started to type "this is the worst ****ing game" but then GT scored the most hilarious 20 yard TD on 3rd and Goal. LOLane.

[Knicks4life]

@ArashMarkazi
FINAL: Georgia Tech 21, USC 7. USC loses 5 of their last 6, becomes the first preseason No. 1 team to lose 6 times.

...

[Diable]

I know Les Miles is always a Wild Card, but what the hell was he doing there? This has been a very good game. I'd love to see Clemson close this deal.

[hobojoe]

Les Miles outsmarts himself. Up 2 with just over two minutes to play they throw the ball 3 times, Clemson doesn't have to use any of their timeouts and get the ball back with just under two minutes to get into FG range with one of the best kickers in the nation to win it.

[Dissonance]

Boyd throwing high.

[Dissonance]

Sam Montgomery with sack/trip while on the ground.

[Dissonance]

Wow, Boyd to Hopkins on 4th and 17.
