9/23 CFB Early Games thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Rutgers scores on their first drive and holds on defense on Michigan's first possession. I know many would want an undefeated UM to play PSU but the schadenfreude factor of UM losing to Rutgers is enticing.
All in for the upset. Will be interesting to watch - Michigan selling out to stop the run - will likely be what they do to us.
Instead of a 15 yard penalty, why not require him to post in Standard English for a week?
Wait, rule clarification needed. Is Meatchicken NOT allowed to kick field goals after the play clock expires? Huh, who knew.
and/or FSU looking really bad. It's still early (relatively speaking), but this could get ugly unless FSU steps up
FSU going for it on 4th, at midfield, rats, a lean got them a new set of sticks.
Sorry boys the ads brand new and not on Google fu yet so best I could do while cooking

Clemson took less than three minutes to go up 17-7.
Rutgers playing LOS both sides tough. maybe UMich is not as good this year on LOS.
The announcers were saying that the UM OL isn’t playing as well as they’ve seen the last two years. 14-7 Michigan at the half.
if Rutgers can play LOS game vs UMich like this, seems like we should able to be even better vs Wolves. I don't think anyone would suggest that Rutgres is better on the OL/DL than we are.
Our OL has to prove they're better than Rutgers OL.
IMO DLs are difficult to compare because of our approach. We don't clog the middle to stop the run. We move LBs around and blitz from all angles in an attempt to make explosive plays. A lot of times that works but it also leaves us exposed if we don't get the desired pressure.
very interesting PI call against UMich turned over. it looked like it should have been turned over, but compare that the the PI callled against KLS last week which was not turned over and was a major factor keeping Illinois in the game.
and then a delayed blitz by a FSU defender causes a fumble, which is scooped up and returned for a TD. 24-24
end of game with UMich running the ball was textbook running out the clock. no silly plays to stop the clock, pushed Rutgers off the ball and did not make a snap until clock hit under 5 seconds. game ends at 2:45 EST. they get the ball with about 6 min and Rutgers never has another play on offense.
Riley had a brain fart and ran a fake reverse pass that was blown up.
Dumb IMO.
Then missed a 30-yard FG
OL
It’s a good game. 24-24 FS driving. #14 Wilson made a hell of a catch. I’ve been multitasking and don’t think I have a good grasp of how the game’s played out so far, the ebbs and flows. Ah, overtime.
Clemson made a ton of bonehead plays. Credit FSU, hung in there and won on the road.
