BYU is the worst football team in the state of Utah.

Well, it does reduce injuries to starters, and give backups valuable playing time. That is what you should do as a coach. When you are up 28 in the 4th quarter, put in the subs and who cares if the other scores a few TDs. Depth and health is a lot more important than "style points".

That has to feel good to have beaten teams with that kind of winning percentage.

Purdue +24
Baylor -20
South Carolina -3
Oregon +3
New Mexico -5
KSU +4.5
Buffalo +6
Locked in the Purdue, Baylor, and New Mexico lines: haven't made the other plays yet.
Also looking at the Clemson-BC over (37.5), the UVA-Syracuse under (54), Arizona (-7), and the under on Wisconsin's total points once that drops.

Everybody is picking Oregon and I am not sure why. Washington has a great defense.

I think that LSU's D is going to eat Treon Harris alive (again). Similarly, does Florida's D expose the youth of Brandon Harris? Probably, but enough about the quarterbacks. The running game is the deciding factor and you'd be crazy to pick against Fournette/LSU under the lights.

Has anyone been out to Washington's new stadium? Looks badass.

I remember as a kid waking up for GameDay and it getting me so pumped for the day ahead. Just put it on and I don't know how I did it. Whoever watches this shit for 3 hours every Saturday morning is practically lobotomizing themselves. Probably not a word but I stand by it

year 4 of the Mora era and it's still the undisciplined bullshit with the penalties.
first drive: offensive PI on Payton - wipes out a first down. Next play, pick 6.
Second drive: TD run by Perkins- wiped out by illegal formation. Settle for a FG.
would have it mattered and made it a closer game? doubt it. But the same shit time after time is getting really old. While Mora stands there, looks pissed, dumbfounded jotting down the penalty on his pad.
Cal next week is a toss up. This teams spirit on defense might be broken. Shaw could have put up 70 if he wanted to.
but, really. The defense lost 3 all conference players on defense, and probably all 3 will be top 40 draft picks whenever they come out. Hard to replace that, but other than MLB Savaiinaea, nobody has stepped up in their absence.

Cal next week is huge. Thursday night. Will be 65k at the Rose Bowl, probably 40 by kickoff. Must win. Should run the table till SLC. Which is a terrible matchup for the Bruins. Southern Cal is a toss up. Wouldn't be surprised if they really light it up under Helton.
8-4, 9-3 possibly. Think Mora needs to make some changes. The secondary hasn't really been strong in his 4 years here. Disappointed in Bradley's scheme so far. Laying off 8 yards deep against Hogan in 3rd and long. GTFO. But Bradley isn't going anywhere. Mora wanted him here 4 years ago.
Mazzone's 3rd and 1 in shotgun makes me want to drown babies. UCLA has the backfield to go jumbo and ram in down your throat, but never do. Mind bottling. Hurr durr no Myles Jack/Vanderdoes/Clark backfield's anymore. Mazzone probably has reached his ceiling here.

nUtopia could do a college football pre-game podcast and it would be better than FS1.

I was hoping Brock would chime in, but here's my thought process: Oregon has scored points/moved the ball on everyone this year. Well, almost everyone (Utah), but the Utes are legit on that side as you know.
Washington's passing game isn't good: the offenses Oregon's struggled against the last few years are the ones that can throw it really well. I see them running it well enough with Freeman to put some points up with the Huskies struggling to pass from behind. Also not entirely sold on UW as a great defense.
PS: I wonder what we're missing with that Arizona line. I've actually seen it as low as -7 elsewhere: you'd think they'd be able to cover that against a pretty mediocre Colorado outfit, but who knows...

90 minutes?!?!? Back in my day, Gameday was 60 minutes.

Was talking to @bruin228 about Bradley before the season began: the soft coverage is unfortunately a staple of his. Was actually surprised Mora hired him: his defenses tended to struggle against the spread type offenses that populate the Pac 12 while he was at Penn State.
I like Mazzone more than Brock, but sometimes it does feel like he's too spread for spread's sake, if you know what I mean. Love watching that Perkins kid though: first time I've had a chance to really see him up close. He's a legitimate talent.

Makes sense. My thought is that anyone can score on Oregon so why can't Washington. Utah has a very mediocre offense as they always have and they still put up 60 on them but who knows.
I don't think the Arizona game will be a blow out but they should win by two td or so.

I fear for what Goff is going to do to us next week. Unfortunately the injuries have really hit home. Moreau was our best cover corner and Jack was basically a hybrid LB/S that could do anything. You lose your two best cover guys with a coach who already plays it pretty soft in a pass first league ? Mother.
Yeah, Perkins is a pleasure to watch. Runs down hill. Kinda reminds me of a more agile Skip Hicks.

Hopefully he will throw 5 more interceptions.

I would advise against this, BC likely will not score any points especially with Jeff Smith a true frosh making his first start, but their defense is quite good as well

Well it was 60 minutes when I was a kid too, but I didn't watch it when I was a kid.
All these games suck so I'm forced to watch ACC footbaw.

Missed out on that Wazzu game, man.
I especially love the fullback hitting a wall at the goalline, 5 seconds later everyone gives up and he falls into end zone. Side judge runs in like dunkin donuts is giving free jelly donuts away and signals touchdown, and it's upheld
