    Tua's brother, Taulia, had a heck of a game in leading Maryland to an OT win over Minnesota.

    Tua’s little brother is the real deal. He torched Minnesota tonight leading Maryland to a 45-44 OT victory. Like his big brother, he throws a beautiful ball with touch and zip and might be a better runner than Tua. Really impressed by his performance tonight.

    He certainly had a great game. I really felt for the Gopher's place kicker who missed that extra point in OT to lose the game.

    What happened to Maryland last week vs. Northwestern? Is Northwestern that good, or did Tua just have first game jitters? He sure looked awfully good last night, like his big brother, or possibly better. Time will tell.

    Desmond Howard doing Game Day from home as he has tested positive for Covid and has some mild symptoms so far.

    40 years ago a undefeated and top ranked Notre Dame went to Atlanta to play GaTech, but looking ahead to the next week's big match up with Alabama in South Bend, were tied by Tech 3-3.

    They did beat Alabama the next week 7-0.

    This Clemson / BC game is starting to feel like the Alabama/Ole Miss game a few weeks ago. Like Alabama, Clemson is the better team but BC not acting like they believe that!

    Clemson backup for Lawrence looking more comfortable as the game progresses. I doubt Boston College can hold for 4 quarters? Another possible upset MSU vs the Wolverines?

    What about Clemson's "elite" defense? Already 21 points to BC???

    Looks like the Tigers aren’t going to get to pull their starters early. Now if only Etiene would twist an ankle...

    The SB Domers might want to turn on the game on FOX.

    Clemson, not surprisingly, regrouped and came out and played like Clemson.

    Still game is not over only 4 point lead

    Well it looked like the big upset of the day was going to be in Death Valley, instead it was 1000 miles north in the Big House where the Spartans pulled off a huge upset. 27 - 24

    With about 2:30 left in the game, BC tried a 40 yd pass on 3rd and 9, then tried another one on 4th and 9. Both incomplete, game over. I'm not impressed.

    Sparty punched us in the mouth and come out of AA with a 27-24 win. Milton’s inability to throw an accurate deep ball, S physicality, and S receivers torching our dbs were the difference. Sparty was a 25 pt dog. This has to be one of the biggest upsets in the series.

    What happened to the running game, it looked good v Minn. Hamilton threw 50+ passes, that can't be what Harbaugh wanted to do.

    I laughed when the announcer said one of the MSU coaches said that other than the turnovers (7) they played well last week. Guess he was right. Sparty quieted the Big House by taking the cutouts right out of the game.
