[ORD_Buckeye]

One great game (LSU=FSU) and one decent game (UF-UU). That's a pretty weak lineup. I guess TCU-CU might be interesting just because of Prime.

No. 8 Florida State vs. No. 5 LSU (Orlando, Florida) | 7:30 p.m. | ABC

Oh boy, next weekend my kitchen is going to be cooking more tomatoes than a pizzeria for this one!

Ped St vs WVU in theory should be interesting. Too bad Neal Brown blows a bag of (tomato-less) gumbo sausage.

NC vs SCar also could be interesting.

Washington vs Boise isn’t bad either.

Overall, I agree with you. Not the best week one slate we’ve seen.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

How do we lose 5* talent to a team playing themselves on ACC Network?

Ped State on paper should walk all over WVU, WVU looks like they are in for another 5-7 at best type season.

Ped State does like to flop in these types of games though.

 

[Mike80]

I think Ped State/WVU will be close for about a half and then the depth of the Pedsters will start to tell.

I also think WVU's secondary may make it a rough day for Drew Allar.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I put some units down on Penn St several weeks ago. Either I have a bunch more units, or I bought myself a Penn State flop.

(But they should walk all over WVU. 20.5 points is not nearly enough)

Fredo has really been running their mouths towards Miami. First, the coach uses his press conference to declare that Fredo is the "academically superior university" because of course he did. Now, the QB has gone full Harbaugh and said they're going g down there to show them "who the real Miami is."

Fredo is patchworking together a whole new offensive line. The QB is liable to get killed in that game.

Probably won’t work well for them, but Middle Tennessee State did do a number on scUM Coral Gables recently, so they might pull it off

Miami (Fla.) vs. Miami (Ohio) | 7 p.m. | ACC Network

Miami football: QB Brett Gabbert says the 'real Miami' is in Ohio ahead of season opener​

Miami (Ohio) quarterback Brett Gabbert insists the RedHawks match up well with the Miami Hurricanes, their opening opponent in Week 1. Continuing his heightened since of confidence ahead of his team's first game, Gabbert was asked this week where the "real Miami" was since the two programs share the same name.

"Oxford, Ohio," Gabbert said. "I think we'll show them on Sept. 1."
