When he gets fired by Florida in five years

If Illinois emerges undefeated with a B1G championship, they're definitely getting a playoff spot. The only way an undefeated P5 champion gets snubbed is if the other four also have undefeated champions.

They seem like a version of their former selves. Stuff run game, get a key sack from an edge rush, and make enough plays in pass coverage inside their own 50.
Whereas the past two years it's been, do absolutely nothing always.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Oregon still making stupid mistakes on defense giving up huge plays... and it's usually from blown coverage or just bad reactions.
I'll give you that compared to last season it's a HUGE improvement.

Last year they looked like a high school team on D at times. I'd feel a lot better if we had 2-3 more Troy Dye type talents but the D is noticeably stiffer thus far.
That said I think they'll have a tough time in the Pac12 but they're much more resilient this year. Your 'version of their former selves' is spot on.
I'm really confused about the offense today though. Nebraska didn't really change anything but they looked inept and the play calling was 2/10 bad.

They should be in a conference

Yeah... Utah is doing everything possible to lose this game and are still 15-0.
BYU's independence gamble has turned into a joke.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
At least after the win your coach verbally acknowledged the pentalties and stated they were going to work on ironing them out.
Meanwhile in Knoxville, our coaches are still on the gravy train even though our D-linemen are lining up a yard+ off the ball and we can't stop a division 1 team from running a jet sweep.

It's hard to get talent to go there due to the religion and culture. Most players would rather not deal with it and go to the U or out of state.
we only get 4 star guys if they are Mormon.

Thank goodness Smith and Brooks can run through tackles since Minnesota's offensive line can't block anyone.
Well I'm back to the hotel from the OSU game and finally have cell phone signal.
What a disappointment that was. Not a lot of positive things to say. Run defense was ok I guess. Most things were a trash fire. Offensive play calling is a disaster.
As many games as JT has won at Ohio State, I think I'm ready for this era to be over and start new.

Not without a QB stepping up. Was a close game. Wish I could have gone.Now don't blow it the rest of the way.
There's no way you guys beat Bama. Sorry
Our defense should keep us in every game regular season, the offense still needs to make some plays to win a couple of those. Post-season anything can happen once teams have grown up and hopefully improved. ND defense was pretty good. Kept them in the game.

Me too. I could have taken at least one seat from you lot!
I've seen several people that went say that every ND fan they came across was extremely welcoming and nice. Not exactly something most SEC fans are used to but that's refreshing to see. It's that Midwestern hospitality.

UGA game was wild in South Bend. The Georgia fans were super rowdy, and there were a surprising amount of fans there for such a far away game. Wished we didn't get so many penalties, but there also some garbage calls during that game. Defense and special teams look good. Go Dawgs.

I wouldn't say it's a Midwest thing. You wouldn't get that kind of treatment at Michigan or Ohio State.

Minnesota is not a good offensive team at all. Letting them hang 48 on you should be cause for relegation to FCS. So glad Andersen decided to skip town so we wouldn't have to deal with his bumbling any more.

I guess performing the War Chant hurt them more than it helped. My guess is they Board of Trustees will force the band to bring it back and they'll lose all the rest of their games.

There's a decent chance that over the next hour, 4 Pac-12 teams will lose.

Shots fired.
This game is nuts but I'm getting so tired. Not sure if I'll make it.

tbh at least as far as football goes, it didn't help. Was basically used to unintentionally neuter crowd noise. How could they be so dumb, one might ask? The problem with being bad at football for so long is that too many fans -- including university employees -- do not understand football
Serious followup to my previous exuberance: We're not going to win too many more this year... but I expected a loss today, so by my measure we're ahead of schedule! 6-6! I believe!
