Please use this thread to discuss all early college football games played on Oct. 7

 

[LionJim]

Maryland-Ohio State could be one to watch.

 

[PSU Mike]

Speaking out of turn here, but why are the Beavers only 7.5 favorites over the Bears? Letdown after last week?

Beavers are always my favorite.

The Beavers spread isn't wide enough for you? Please, tell us more.

*gulp*

Would the Beavers by 69 be more appropriate?

 

[LionsAndBears]

Let's Go Terps!!

Depends... how good is your "game" in the deep rough and under wet conditions?

 

[Madsol]

Gus Johnson is a poor announcer. Not talking about his over-the-top style. Some like that, some don't. He simply doesn't know what is going on. Had no clue initially about the OSU fake punt. Then a few plays later, took seemingly forever to realize the QB had kept the ball. He's just lost.

 

[PSUAXE70]

Maryland-Ohio State could be one to watch.

Who are these announcers? It sounds like they have never done this before. They are calling the fake punt a botched play. One suggested it was a bad snap. Taulia takes the ball and they don’t even see that. They announced a handoff. Sounds like a bunch of middle school students.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Maryland is legit.

 

[psuno1]

Maryland is legit.

So Far

 

[rudedude]

Gattis call on 4th there. Bad, nothing like telegraphing the play.

 

[rudedude]

Buckeyes look soft

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Buckeyes leaving the TE open on that play every single time and Maryland is gutting them with it.

 

[rudedude]

Another crappy Gattis call on third down.

 

[Classof09]

Buckeyes look soft

So for some of the ‘fans’ on the board, does this mean we have a chance of winning that game now? Because you know, it’s all about things 4 weeks before the game like play calling, how the team starts off, etc.

 

[Anon1640372757]

With Franklin as head coach, PSU could easily lose 3-4 games this year.

 

[psuno1]

I hope Henderson is out when PSU plays OSU.

I heard that last year…bwahaha.

No....it means we have to add Maryland to OSU and Michigan as our tough games.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

And.... there is the Maryland that we have known for years. Easy INT for the Buckeyes and score.

 

[Madsol]

Completely baffled by the penalty in the OSU game. That flag came in as the defender was running yet they said it was after the play and a sideline warning? What was that about?

 

[Corner Room Breakfast]

I guess Henderson will be ready for PSU. I feel this will be a different game 3rd Q.

 

[LionsAndBears]

OSU is so beatable this year. Our Defense should match up with them very well.

 

[blion72]

Henderson is their big play guy on the run game. was not even in pads for game time decision. maybe he can dramatically heal in two weeks. assuming Day took this as a serious game, he would have played if he could go - i.e. not just holding him out.

Little bro like big bro, Turndaballova!!

 

[JWB389]

Terrible clock management to end the half by MD.

 

[Madsol]

Terrible decision by Tagliavoa to throw that underneath. Simply inexcusable for a 5th year senior to make that decision. Heck, you'd be upset with your high school senior making that decision. Points lost.

 

[Madsol]

I know every game is different but neither OSU nor MD have shown me much. OSU looks soft. McCord looks very pedestrian. And MD has some athletes but just seems like a decent, 8-4 type team.

Tune in for the postgame. Ryan Day will be calling you out.

 

[JWB389]

Umass with the most obvious fake injury to stop the clock that I’ve ever seen. Trying to make a mass substitution and a player just flops. Pretty funny.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

various scores:

25-17, Mizzou over LSU, with 11:27 left in the 3rd qtr
10-10, Maryland tied with tOSU, at the half
17-0, Wisconsin over Rutgers, with 8:41 left in the 3rd qtr
20-17, Oklahoma over Texas, at the half
20-16, Boston College over Army, with 2:56 left in the 3rd qtr

 

[BobPSU92]

Objectively speaking, I think we lose to everyone playing today.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Officials may need to step in and give OSU a boost, perhaps a timely holding penalty.

I would much rather we be the first to do it though.

There are plenty there to call. MD is grabbing a lot of Jersey.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Terps QB has bad pocket awareness. He seems to run into pressure a lot.
