Wavy gonna be gravy when the chimp is done with him.

The best thing I saw​

Josh Hoover was bleeding everywhere.

During the second quarter of Indiana's 52-16 win over North Texas, Hoover had his helmet ripped off on a facemask penalty.

When he got up, blood was pouring from his nose. He didn't leave the game.

Three plays later, with blood still covering his face, Hoover threw a touchdown pass to Charlie Becker.

Hoover kept playing and finished his Indiana debut 13-of-16 for 231 yards and four touchdowns.

Three coaches who could really use a do-over​

And then there's Sonny Dykes.

TCU got a head start on everyone else by opening the season in Ireland during Week 0.

It lost 15-10 to North Carolina. That's already bad.

It gets a little funnier when you remember how much time Dykes spent this offseason talking about Josh Hoover's interceptions.

Hoover made his Indiana debut Saturday and threw four touchdown passes without turning the ball over.

Just sayin': So far it appears that Cig is still batting 100% on picking QBs out of the transfer portal.

WRs Graham and Porter did absolutely nothing in ND's win over Cheese; did Porter even play?

Update: Quincy Porter has basically been hurt his entire time at Notre Dame

Must be a glitch with the kickers on Yahoo, not counting any stats...hopefully didn't skew any of the results

Another year, another 'Dabo is done' moment: Why Clemson's blowout loss to LSU feels like game over​

Swinney's insistence on rehiring Chad Morris and bypassing transfer quarterbacks backfired immediately in Clemson's humiliating 51-10 loss to LSU\​

As one coach's tenure began in glorious fashion on a stormy Saturday night in the Bayou, it felt like the opposing coach's time was ending.

After a dramatic week full of lawsuits, court hearings and threats of significant penalties, Lane Kiffin did what he does best by putting on a show in a 51-10 win over Clemson. LSU looked every bit like a College Football Playoff contender. Clemson was a clear level or two below that standard.

"We got our asses kicked," Swinney said. "We gotta go win next week. It's an embarrassing performance, coaching and playing. We're going to have to own that. We can't let that lead to another loss."

It's the worst loss in Swinney's time at Clemson but, really, it's about so much more. It's about a man who has resisted change, who has bucked traditional wisdom and looks much closer to being unemployed than ever hoisting a trophy above his head again. Maybe the demise began in 2021, when DJ Uiagalelei fell on his face as a starter, or in 2023 when Clemson opened the year with a road loss to Duke after turning the reins over to Garrett Riley. A headline the next morning read, 'How dynasties die: Is Clemson flirting with disaster?' There was a brief stay of execution during the best of the Cade Klubnik years -- with a few what is happening moments sprinkled into a back-doored ACC Championship and CFP appearance -- until everything came crumbling down last season, Dabo's worst since 2010.

Swinney looks out-matched and unable to succeed in this current era of college football. The glory days of Clemson football, which included two national championship wins over Alabama, feel like a lifetime ago. Worse, the path back to that level of success feels impossible now under Swinney.

No one other than Swinney thought hiring Chad Morris as offensive coordinator was a smart decision. It was the ultimate double-down move from Dabo, the defiance that prevents him from evolving as other top coaches have to succeed in the NIL and transfer portal era.

Morris hadn't been a successful offensive coordinator since his first stint with Dabo back in 2011-2014. He failed as Arkansas' head coach, failed as Auburn's offensive coordinator and has mostly bounced around the last six years in analyst roles and back at Texas high schools. There's not another Power Four school in the country other than Clemson that would have hired him as offensive coordinator. Frankly, there likely wasn't a Group of Six one, either.

Swinney, of course, didn't care. He was friends with Morris and thought rehiring him would somehow lead to the same success the duo experienced in the early 2010s.

"There are always tough decisions that have to be made in this profession, and though I had to make a couple tough decisions, it was an easy decision to hire Chad Morris," Swinney said explaining the decision. "I'm really excited for our players. It's pretty cool to have guys like DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins and a bunch of great players shooting me text messages with their excitement knowing what's to come offensively. I think we've got elite offensive personnel, and the name of the game is points."

Against LSU, Clemson totaled 40 rushing yards, only eight first downs compared to LSU's 38 and even made a quarterback switch before halftime. At the time of the switch, Clemson had negative rushing yards. Quarterback Christopher Vizzina had no chance against a swarming and aggressive LSU defense, throwing an interception returned for a touchdown and managing only 83 passing yards on 16 attempts. Freshman Tait Reynolds wasn't any better with a 4-for-6 for 22 passing yards and negative-nine rushing yards stat line. Morris' offense looked completely overwhelmed and incapable of stymying LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker's group.

Ohio State must annihilate TTUN to carry out justice for the rest of college football​

At the end of the season, the Ohio State Buckeyes must absolutely torch the Wolverines. They were gifted a win that they clearly did not deserve. After years of documented cheating, it seems they have gotten away with yet another victory they should not have obtained.

While Ohio State can't give that victory back to the Broncos, they can embarrass the Wolverines to the point of no return. In that opener, it was abundantly clear that Kyle Whittingham's team is going to struggle this season. They very well could lose six or seven games this season.

With that being the case, there is a chance that a loss to the Buckeyes would knock TTUN out of contention for playing in a bowl game. There is no greater humiliation that they could suffer than to lose to the Scarlet and Gray by 50 in order to miss out on a bowl game.

That margin of defeat is in play for the Wolverines after the play of Bryce Underwood. Underwood finished the game against Western Michigan 12/22 for 170 yards, one touchdown, one pick, and a fumble. Take away that nonsense Hail Mary, and he only threw for 123 yards against a MAC school.

Had mine yesterday. Went almost 40 hours with nothing but water, 7-Up zero, and the full gallon of tasty flush-you.

I was out for the procedure and came out of it after only about 35 minutes. They cut 1 small polyp so I guess it was worth doing. I did get the doc to laugh when she gave me the picture of the polyp and I said ‘I don’t get a DVD?”

What I remember most about mine was my doctor was Taiwanese and had the personality of Long Duck Dong. He was singing "It's a Small World" as the wheeled me into to the room. The sleepy juice hit and in a snap of the fingers I was looking at HD pics of inside my colon with the nurse. No polyps.

Luke Fahey looks to have won the backup job over Tavien St. Clair​

A lot of the chatter over the last few weeks centered on a legitimate quarterback competition for the backup spot behind Sayin. The expectation was that Tavien St. Clair still held that job. He’s a former 5-star recruit and one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class, and he already had a full year in the program under his belt.

That’s what makes Saturday’s development so notable. It wasn’t St. Clair who entered the game as Ohio State’s No. 2 quarterback. It was freshman Luke Fahey.

Login to view embedded media
Fahey has been a bright spot in Ohio State’s freshman class this past offseason, and he asserted himself as a real competitor in the quarterback room throughout fall camp. Listed at just 5-foot-11, Fahey doesn’t fit the prototypical size profile, but his play earned him the opportunity over a player with more experience and recruiting pedigree. Fahey finished 5-of-7 for 62 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and one interception on a Chris Henry Jr. drop.

Even if the backup quarterback job isn’t fully solidified at this point, Fahey clearly owns the lead in that race. For him to leapfrog St. Clair is a significant statement about where things stand in that room.
