Yes. Their running game in general is pretty underrated. Luckily their defense doesn’t seem top notch but #1 and #2 for UW are going to be a tough day of work.

If we do what we should vs UW/Illinois we’ll roll into November undefeated. Those two games have seemed to appear more difficult than first glance. Particularly UW.

I thought Illinois was the game that most had circled as an underrated match up. But they looked like another Bert led team yesterday

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

sflbuck
A couple thoughts on the SCUM defense.

1) Whatever combination of cheating and talent allow them to have an elite front 7 the last few years, they do not have that on this team. OU did not have any consistent running success yesterday or last week except for QB power run. SCUM had only 1 play concept to stop the entire game and they could not do it. When was the last time you saw a Scum defense allow a long drive, that was running a single play concept, drive the entire length of the field for a game clinching score? (don't talk to me about the facemask because the field view of the play showed Mateer had a crease to his right that would have gotten him the first down)

2) I still think the scum secondary is a question mark. Mateer to me is a good passer with really questionable mechanics and OU's passing game concepts are really simple.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

I think two things are true about scums offense right now

1) To get Underwood to flip his commitment, Moore promised him that he would not turn him into a running quarterback and would run a pro style offense. The reason Underwood did not commit to Michigan originally as he was worried about his development. Moore had to make this promise to get him to flip.

2) Right now Underwood does not know the all the plays that Michigan is trying to use in any given game (let alone the entire playbook) . I have seen Underwood turn the wrong way on play action pass fakes several times. Add the play where he threw to MaCulley's back (while he was blocking) and then argued with Haynes on the sideline it's pretty clear somebody's not on the right page.

This puts Moore in a box. Does he simplify the call sheet more? Does he hope Underwood learns all the plays they want to use? Does he break his promise to Underwood and put in more QB runs?

Let's hope he chooses poorly.

In Underwoods defense, he signed with the understanding he'd be given all their opponents defensive plays ahead of time.

What is even more hilarious is that now at this point in Underwood's development, the head coach has to sit out a two-game ban where he (allegedly) can't even oversee the practice sessions. Hopefully, someone from NCAA enforcement will be checking to verify that Moore doesn't violate the two week ban. At first, I was pissed about them letting Moore coach the first two games and then taking the suspension for weeks 3 and 4 but now I'm kind of happy it turned out that way. Fuck them. Come on Nebraska! Beat these fucks in Week 4.

They were dumb to not just sit Sherrone the first 2 games. They were losing this one regardless. Not that I think Sherrone is sone great coach but I think they definitely lose to Corn with whatever dope circus in charge for that game.

It was hilarious seeing them run up the middle on 3rd and 5/6 multiple times within scoring range. This isn't the same as calling ultra conservative vs Texas with Sayin with the lead and backed up in awful field position. That right there says there's zero current trust in the golden boy. I don't think Moore is capable of breaking the Harbaugh script that turns every QB into Captain handoff/check down.

Underwood seems very easily rattled by opponents and now his own teammates. Another game of two like this and I think the odds he transfers sky rockets.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

ScriptOhio said:
Indy or Minneapolis aren't any more neutral than Atlanta or New Orleans. I don't believe that a site is really "neutral" just because a collage team doesn't actually play their home games there. You have to consider it's geographical location and/or the close proximity to a specific conference's schools.


:sarcastic:...You know that Greg Stankey and the SEC would be "ALL IN" on that one....:sarcastic:

:lol:

Just sayin': The location(s) of the CFPs will be determined as all college football decisions are determined these days; it's not what is the best interest of the players and/or fans, but what brings in the most money, etc.
Click to expand...
That's exactly what I was doing. All of the "neutral" sites are located in the southeast or the southwest. Adding more geographic variety would absolutely make it "more" neutral, meaning the location could favor anybody. As it stands now, it benefits certain schools more than others exclusively.

Not that its relevant, it won't happen, and your last point is really all that matters.

Florida Gators (official thread)

ScriptOhio

The SEC brought some unexpected surprises to Week 2

Florida and Mississippi State both produced stunning results on an otherwise relatively predictable Saturday.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

College football Week 2 highlights: Top games, plays, stats​

In Starkville, they stormed the field with cowbells.

In Gainesville, they might soon be storming the castle with pitchforks.

For the SEC's tale of two cities on Saturday, it was the best of times for Mississippi State and, if not the worst of times for Florida, it was perhaps the moment any hope for a revival under Billy Napier reached its nadir.

When the dust settled, Napier was forced to take a hard look in the mirror and ask: "Does anyone remember my LinkedIn password?"

Mississippi State Bulldogs (official thread)

ScriptOhio
Arizona State marched 95 yards in 15 plays while chewing nearly nine minutes of clock with a tie game hanging in the balance at Mississippi State. Then Bulldogs linebacker Nic Mitchell shot the gap and stuffed ASU running back Kanye Udoh at the 1-yard line. Sun Devils head coach Kenny Dillingham opted for an 18-yard field goal. He trusted his defense to steer his team away from a Week 2 upset, a season removed from its Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff appearance. Unfortunately for Dillingham, his defense didn't honor that trust. No. 12 ASU gave up a late touchdown and lost 24-20 to Mississippi State in a wild finish Saturday in Starkville.

Man, I don't even know what to say, because, well, I don't really know wtf he's doing.

What my best guess is though, we shouldn't be debuting Triston Blackmon with 7 friendlies left. I don't have any opinion on this guy as a player one way or the other other than he's 29 and probably would have learned to bite as a pup... larger point being, from what I can deduce, the CB's and DM's really need to be on the same page (and that lets you get away with a lot of other chaos) but we need to start figuring out WHO those guys are and for better or worse they need to be the ones getting minutes. Did we need to start Josh Sargent again to see that this just isn't his thing? And I have trouble believing we're at the Cristian Roldan portion of the depth chart.
