    Hoping that injury isn't season ending. Max is a really good kid and deserves a chance to play.

    NDS played well. Were it not for Hunter, they likely would’ve left Boulder with a W.

    All three games should be interesting to watch Bill.

    Right now that is my plan Don.

    But the Gators for sure.

    Max broke his leg, done for the year. Unless he gets some medical ruling I think his college career is over. He's played 2 years each at LSU and A&M

    Big wins for Miami on the road in the Swamp. Gators have the toughest schedule ahead be interesting to see how they bounce back.

    Georgia also got a big win over Clemson. Dabo has a 60 M buyout and a couple of NC's, so he's not in the same situation as Billy Napier.

    Maybe Florida’s AD might call Nick to see if he might have a change of heart going from coaching to the broadcast booth.

    Didn't watch the Longhorns, did the Scottie v Colin match instead. But the Longhorns started a little slow and then steamrolled CSU. Even Arch got into the act.

    Texas might be as good as advertised.

    Alabama rolled as expected but got a lot of help from TJ Finley. Man, he looked bad. South Florida next then we get to some competitive tests.

    Hah! Thank God for streaming. I am a Direvtv user and they are in a $ dispute with Disney. So no ABC for the USC/LSU, but I was able to go to my Roku and get ESPN + and watch the game.

    Question. Were the SB Domers rooting for historical rival USC or a Kelly coached team?

    That was an exciting game to watch last night. Both squads played lights out!

    Legitimate question, Bobda. I ignored my feelings about both and picked who I thought was the better team. Unusual for me but feelings-wise I wished both would lose. Unfortunately for me, I picked the wrong one.

    I picked LSU to win just thought they would win, but in general it's better for the Irish that USC won with regards to helping our strength of schedule. Not to mention most of the Irish fans online line felt the same and of course wanted Kelly to lose as well.

    Very entertaining game. Like Terry I begrudgingly pulled for SC. When the condoms play the Wolverweasles, it's going to be impossible.

    I am not a Bill O'Brien fan after his tenure with the Texans, but that was a very good win for BC last night. FSU expected to be 2-0 facing ACC also rans Ga.Tech and BC, but now their the also rans.

    That loss by LSU to USC helps the Irish strength of schedule and for many Irish fans the joy of seeing Brian Kelly lose is just a the cherry on top. USC offense looked good in spots and should get better as the season moves on, the defense also looked much improved. Hard to say what's ahead for LSU. Their QB has a great arm, but they didn't compliment it with a running game. Defense not as bad as last year but probably not good enough for a good SEC season.

    I didn't watch the Oregon/Idaho game but everything I read is not complimentary of the Oregon win.

    I’m not a huge fan of Pat. Not my cup of tea lol. I enjoy Saban on there but miss David Pollack on GameDay. He added that sense of reality to the show.

    I agree, I respect Bill O’Brien. Good coach, he knows his stuff. I think he’s gonna have the Eagles contending for the ACC soon! God love him also for leaving Ohio State and coming home to be close to his kid who is in a Boston hospital. What a story that is in itself.
