OT: Week 2 NCAA College Football Games Thread 9/10-9-12 Thurs-Sat
- Thread starter rutgersguy2
- Start date
If Oregon isn’t as good as people think coming into the season, will USC or PSU step up and take their place?
B12 with some solid showings.
ASU score was deceiving because some crucial TOs they went toe to toe with A&M on the road.
Ok St beats Oregon and they were able to win despite some crucial TOs. It could’ve been worse for Oregon.

One year can make a huge difference. OSU had 91 transfers or something, bad start against Tulsa. I think Oregon is a victim of this new era. You have many players getting paid a lot of $$$ and often not respecting the opposition, thinking they don’t have to grind. Lanning is struggling with that. Like Schiano , a very fundamental coach who may not be the right guy for this brave new world of college football.
He’s got two new coordinators, Mehringer is their new OC. Both were internal promotions.
i think Lanning is fine, he just may need to rethink the staff if things don’t improve.
Not everyone is as seamless and Saban was in replacing staff and that was also in a pre NIL and portal era.
He hired the coordinators. If he doesn’t win a NC in the next 2-3 years, with the money they are spending on the roster, he could be done there.
Okay I can go along pressure building over time. I thought you meant he’s under a lot of pressure right now. I mean he is sort of because you’re right they put a lot of money into it but he’s not on any hot seat in the immediate future.
it’s sort of like Ryan Day until he got the NC monkey off his back.
There’s always a lot of pressure in these high status jobs but if he can continue to win at a high level even without a championship he’ll be fine for awhile. James Franklin was at PSU for a long time and he probably won fewer big games than Lanning has in a shorter time frame. IMO Lanning will have a long leash as long as he wins a lot.
Cuse up 12-7 on Cal, where one of Lanning’s coordinators is the HC.
Stein the other Lanning coordinator at UK is up 17-13 on Alabama.
Miss St up 28-13 on Minnesota.
Duke 28-24 on Illinois
Pitt up 5-0 on UCF

Washington up 13-7 on Utah St in the 4th qtr. Between this game and the WSU game, they don’t seem as good on offense this year.
Duke up 31-27 on Illinois.
Alabama takes advantage of stopping a fake punt and later scores a TD..under review….31-17 Alabama

I know it’s only halftime and I’m sure Vandy will come back to win.
But has anyone mentioned Delaware’s Ryan Carty as a future HC Candidate? Young as hell, great HC record at UD and probably bring in his coordinators in as well, esp DC Manny Rojas.
Of course the same ones who says that KC Keeler sucked, they’ll same the same thing about Carty because he’s not Rex Ryan or Jon Gruden.

Nice job but I wonder if too big a leap from CUSA to the P2. If he can step up to a higher mid major conference like the AAC, MWC, PAC or Sun Belt and do well then I’d feel better.
I was curious to see how Lea would do after Pavia. Dogfight with Delaware…interesting to see what they do this year.
16-14 Wash on Utah St and they recover onsides kick
Memphis 7-3 at Boise
Duke with INT still up 31-27
Cuse 18-14 on Cal after FG doink

By that logic then to exaggerate the point why not a high school coach or a D2 or D3 coach right up into the P2.
Why do many college coaches fail in the NFL, even the most successful ones like Meyer and Saban.
Every time you step up a level, the ability of the teams you face goes up and the acumen of the coaches you face goes up.
So you want to see how a candidate does with each step up in “difficulty” so to speak. Any choice isn’t a guarantee but the more of a track record you have against better competition as you go up the ladder, the better chances that your choice might work. Of course there can exceptions like Tressel or Klieman but I don’t think it’s a bad rule of thumb to have.
Delaware closes to down 35-26 to Vandy with 6 mins left.
Cuse gets the ball at their 25 down 21-18 with 1 min left., no timeouts

Cal gets a 3rd INT off Angeli and that seals the game if it counts…under review

Mullen taking it on the chin in year two at UNLV

I hate to break it to you but there has been lots of high school coaches who have successful in the college level.
Memphis has 81 new players on the roster this year.
I thought Eck’s 73 last year was a ton now I hear 91 for Ok St and 81 for Memphis lol
