    Alabama vs Oklahoma today and I’m going to game. This one worries me. Our lack of a running game means we are a couple of dropped passes, or a turnover or a couple of penalties from getting behind. Being one dimensional gives Oklahoma the green light to an all out rush. Hopefully DeBoer has figured out something.

    No doubt it was a factor, but this dance has happened multiple times over the past several years with other cable/streaming services like Disney trying to raise fees a participant pays for being carried on their service. It eventually is settled but the consumer pays the price during the standoff.

    KP, bravo to Google/Disney getting thing sorted out for me! Looking forward to watching this one, I expect a battle. If you can figure out how to get your run game kickstarted let us know, we can use the help too

    UCLA's starting QB is out for the game today, concussion protocol.

    Feeling like a 45-0 type of game.

    Could Va.Tech be the first team to secure a new coach in this cycle?

    Former Penn State coach James Franklin and Virginia Tech are in the early stages of talks, with some resolution on his candidacy expected in the coming days, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Saturday.

    Virginia Tech is still running a full search, but it's clear there is mutual interest between the parties, sources said.

    Game Day crew picked UGA across the board.
    They were slightly 3-2 for Alabama.

    Great day for football!!

    South Carolina beating A&M at College Station 30-3 at the half? WTH?

    Yes that is more than shocking Bobda, I just have to believe that the Ag's didn't come out believing that South Carolina had a chance, but the Gamecocks came ready to play.

    Another big upset on the way, maybe. Navy is up big over USF 24-9. Navy QB, Blake Horvath, was held out of the ND game for some injury, is back and having a great game.

    Aggies now in the lead along with Northwestern who have rallied from a 21-6 deficit to a 22-21 lead following a pick of a bad Underwood pass.
