NCAA/College Football - 2015 Discussion

After the weekend's action and it's very early of course but the two most impressive teams to me were Ohio State and Notre Dame.

Now with Notre Dame we are unsure just where Texas are at but I'd find it hard to believe they are anywhere near as bad as they were made to look by the Fighting Irish.

Ohio State are bringing big to the offense, everybody is just big with the exception of Ezekiel Elliott. They are going to just bulldoze over teams with their size. Jones is huge and Miller is a beast, they are going to be hard to stop.

I still think Barrett does far more for that offence than Jones.

Re: Miller, I expected most of his involvement to be screens, sweeps and dump offs but he looked like a legit WR. He's just so explosive, it's unreal.

As for Texas, was listening to a podcast that slammed them and Charlie Strong. Basically said that not one player has improved under him, that Tyrone Swoopes is not a FBS QB, that Strong came in with his whole "it's not good enough" bravado while suspending players and firing coaches who've been there for 25 years. And I agree. I think he's a fraud. The worst criticism was the QB situation and how they didn't make any plays for one of the transfer QBs and how guys like Kyler Murray and Jarrett Studham would rather be QB2s at A&M and Baylor than compete at Texas.

I think Alabamas win was more impressive than Notre Dames, but you can only beat what's in front of you.

I don't agree regarding Jones. I think Jones gives them the big plays they need when teams come with that aggressive and focused defense, OSU will see that alot this year.

He can make them 30/40 yard throws standing in the pocket with ease and he can also run it better than expected. That was some tough tough running by him last night.

JT is also top class but he tends to end up grinding out wins on off days because he can't find the big pass plays. I think that unless there is a significant difference between the QBs at practice, mayer would have favoured JT. Which suggests Cardale is the legit starter.

Wisconsin - ranked and almost favoured by the bookies
Alabama - massive favourites
Oregon - massive favourites
VT - only team to beat OSU last season.

Almost 1000 yards passing and 200 yards rushing in those games. Imagine what he'll do against the easier big ten teams and the likes of Hawaii? There seems to be a lack of respect for his achievements because he's a bit silly!

So far I've been impressed with the obvious teams like Notre Dame, A&M and UCLA. I'll hold predictions until mid October though when we get into the conference grind!

Amazing season ahead!!!

Some big teams struggling in these early games. Auburn are losing to Jacksonville State.

Don't know if ye have seen this but tunein.com have a section that has 100 colleges and it works perfectly. Listening to penn state and buffalo at the moment.

Dalvin Cook is the FSU offense in this game.

ESPN Goal Line is very handy. One of the biggest shocks in college football history if Auburn lose here according to the commentators :eek: What was the spread?

Notre Dame 12 - 0 up on Virginia. Zaire's throwing is a bit off the mark tonight.

So much for winning the championship.

Looks bleak for the Irish

Have never understood the reluctance to decline penalties in American football. Surely a 4th and 4 is a better choice there than 3rd and 15

One point down, 1.48 left with a third string QB in.

Not looking good for the Irish.
