I would say no, Stetson Bennett wouldn’t lead UGA back from 18 down, though Jake Fromm* led UGA back from 17 down against Oklahoma so who knows


* and by “Jake Fromm” I mean “OU’s clown car run defense”

So we are in agreement that Bryce Young is a better QB and Bama is the better team. Let’s just skip the hassle and drop that ol’ trophy off at UPS. They know where to send it. :v:

I cannot get over that Hyatt had six catches for 5 TD's and 200 yards

Nebraska WR Trey Palmer played in a game with pretty much the same overall talent level and national relevance as the Alabama-Tennessee game. Palmer's stats:

Seven catches for 237 yards (33.9 ypr)
Two touchdowns
One carry for another 60 yards

He was the first player in FBS to have over 225 yard receiving and over 50 yards rushing in the same game in the Twentieth Century. The 237 yards is the all-time Nebraska single-game receiving record.

Somehow this was not good enough to be Big Ten offensive player of the week. Instead one of the co-winners was Chase Brown, who had 180 yards on 41 carries (4.3 ypc). I guess your team has to win to be the Big Ten *PoW.

Since we never get what we expect I'm calling for this game to end up with a score of 42-40, and I'd be really interested to see how Iowa got to either side of that in my imagined future.

I genuinely can’t fathom Iowa scoring 40 here. The only proven issue on this defense is 50/50 balls with the corners, which Iowa’s not throwing.

Now, if you tell me Stroud forces the ball into some bad windows or gets hurt and makes Kyle McCord go out there? Yeah that might mean Ohio State scores 21. Still unlikely but possible. Iowa’s going to drop 8 all game though, so can’t see the QB really taking hits.

Ohio state is going to use this year to get revenge for the one time we beat them bad by beating us 70-14

The 14 is an intentional safety, an unintentional safety, a long field goal and a fumble recovery for a touchdown

Lmao, Day is out here describing 2017 Iowa-OSU as a scar that doesn’t go away when there are 3 total guys on the roster from back then. I would really really appreciate not having to sweat this one out, and my hope is that the lack of Greg Schiano and Urban in the building helps. We don’t seem to do the dumb “lose to 3rd tier Big Ten team” type thing since Urban got out and we started using actual quarterbacks.

I was at the Husker bar for the Northwestern/Nebraska game where Nebraska lost in OT without scoring. I was so pissed off until they switched to Iowa/OSU and it all just vanished at seeing Iowa putting a beating on OSU.

Sam Westmoreland, a Mississippi State University football player, has died unexpectedly ... the school announced on Wednesday. He was 18 years old -- and only two days away from his 19th birthday.

No cause of death was revealed.

"My prayers are with Sam's family and friends," MSU president Mark E. Keenum said in a statement, "with his MSU teammates and coaches, and with the Tupelo community during this most difficult time."

Westmoreland joined the school's football team this year after a stellar career at Tupelo H.S. in Miss. The 6-foot-4, 260-pound freshman offensive lineman had yet to play in a game.

A little late but I put together a dirty shrimp poll. I'm on vacation for two weeks on Friday so no polls for a couple of weeks. By then I think we'll have a CFP poll to compare this to -

Yep, I’m here. I think it’s just me though.

That Iowa/Ohio State game is probably #2 on my list of best games I’ve been to. My dad and I had season tickets all through my childhood and it was the last game we went to before he got too sick to go. We almost didn’t go because we went to a truly awful Iowa/Minnesota game earlier that year that was rainy and grey and awful but we went and every time we scored I would turn to him like “this feels fake, someone is pranking us” until the 4th quarter when it became clear there would be no comeback. A perfect football game.

Very doubtful since we're in a tailspin right now. If it was another MW opponent I could maybe see pulling off an upset to right the ship, but ND is asking too much

OU has done a lot of these 2-and-1s with midmajors recently: Tulsa twice, Tulane (before the hurricane moved the away game to Norman), and now this.

Regarding the SEC mindset, thought this reply was pretty funny:
