2016 CFB Week 5 Open Thread

[Mike80]

They were 7-6 last season. Their wins so far are over Rutgers, Idaho, Portland State, and Arizona - the last one in OT. There's nothing impressive on that resume'.

But they just went up 13-0 on the Cardinal so maybe tonight is when they earn some validation for the lofty ranking.

Seeing is believing. College football is too cyclic year to year in conferences like the PAC-12, Big-12 and most of the time, ACC to expect last year to mean as much year to year like it does in the B1G and SECSECSEC.

But if you want to go there, they weren't far away from 9-3 or even 10-2 last year. The only games they lost by more than 6 points were the Stanford and Arizona State games...and that was with a true freshman staring most of their games and young players playing across the board. Petersen is a good coach too.

horrible 4th down call

 

[Mike80]

Should be 20-0 but a mediocre throw to a wide open back got dropped in the EZ....

16-0 after the FG though....

Stanford looks slow as dirt. Biggest thing that holds them back is their average receivers.

 

[Buckeye doc]

Petersen is definitely a good coach, figure if you can win at Boise you can win anywhere. If they have some success such as winning the PAC this year and getting a playoff spot, that should boost recruiting. With Oregon looking notsofresh lately, they could dominate the pac north for a couplefew years.

Stanford definitely not playing Stanford Football™ tonight. Huskies making a statement on national TV.

I think they miss Kevin Hogan as well. They're not being very creative offensively either. McCaffrey has been a non factor, as they don't seem able to get him the ball in space.

Welp, let's see what Shaw comes up with at half time. The big Friday night clash of top ten titans is a bit of a dud.

Washington's defensive line is getting it done right now. When you can rush 4 and get consistent pressure, dropping 7 into coverage is a HUGE advantage.

St Thomas Aquinas-Bishop Gorman in a slugfest on ESPN U. A little more entertaining than the beat down occurring in the Stanford-Washington game.

Stanford definitely not playing Stanford Football™. I just know Herbie is sobbing in his recliner somewhere shaking his head going "this isn't real"
