Take Western to cover. Pitt is a battered mess and I’m pretty sure I’m quarterbacking Saturday.

 

[Songbird]

USC giving only 12.5 is weird.

 

[dixiehack]

Oklahoma giving only 13 sets off klaxon bells.

Oklahoma giving only 13 sets off klaxon bells.

They ended up blowing out Kent State, but didn't take the lead (at 7-3) until the final seconds of the first half. They kind of did the same thing against UTEP — let them hang around most of the first half, scored late, then blew it open in the second half.
Some of that number might be the Frost factor, too. The first week after a mid-season coaching change is always weird. You never know if a team will respond positively or negatively.

 

[dixiehack]

I assume if Frost was still there the line would be 7.

 

[maumann]

Georgia Tech is awful. I'd assume Ole Miss will easily beat them by more than two touchdowns. And I get the Texas A&M at home love, but Miami's getting points against a team that just got stuffed by Appy State?

 

[HappyCurmudgeon]

UTSA (+11.5) at No. 21 Texas 7 pm Longhorn Network

Interesting. Emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted Texas team down a QB1 against in-state upstarts. Feels like a trap.

Not enough bad things can happen to A&M after this ****. **** that ****ing punk.

 

[BTExpress]

They needed a sign-language interpreter for that?

10/10 thread title

Yep. It was that tone-deaf.

Will be curious to see if that line moves, I don't know how you don't take Miami and the 6. As mentioned in the Week 2 thread, don't give me any jive about A&M at night being a tough place to play either.

This would have been lame as a heel promo at an indie wrestling card at the local Legion hall. It's even more pathetic given the result.

Love a dude in overalls calling someone else hillbillies.

 

[TigerVols]

Akron + 47 seems tasty; but then again, they lost 52-0 to Michigan State so maybe not?

UTSA (+11.5) at No. 21 Texas 7 pm Longhorn Network

Interesting. Emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted Texas team down a QB1 against in-state upstarts. Feels like a trap.

I'm watching UTSA-Army right now, and this UTSA quarterback, Frank Harris, would be playing for a lot of Power Five schools.

 

[User 11148]

Damn, @heyabbott turning out to be an A&M yell leader is one of the bigger surprises I've encountered 'round these parts.

So you've got a gal in Kalamazoo ... AND a gig?

That's just cold.
