News about 2015 football opponents/MAC teams not on UT's schedule
Thought I'd start this thread again for upcoming games, game updates, and final scores. News about UT opponents or MAC teams not on the schedule that's worth mentioning but doesn't deserve a separate thread could go here too.

Week 1 games other than Stony Brook at Toledo -

Thursday, Sept. 3rd -

Ball State hosts VMI (on ESPN3)

Central Michigan hosts Oklahoma State (on ESPNU)

Ohio at Idaho

Friday, Sept. 4th -

Western Michigan hosts Michigan State (on ESPNU)

Kent State at Illinois (on the Big 10 Network)

Saturday, Sept. 5th -

Eastern Michigan hosts Old Dominion

Miami hosts Presbyterian (on ESPN3)

Buffalo hosts Albany (on ESPN3)

Bowling Green at Tennessee (on the SEC Network)

Akron at Oklahoma (on the Fox Sports Network)

Northern Illinois hosts UNLV (on the CBS Sports Network)

Arkansas hosts Texas-El Paso

Iowa State hosts Northern Iowa

Arkansas State at Southern California (on the PAC-12 Network)

Opener for UMass is on Sept. 12th. I hope I got everybody else; I'm a little rusty.

Western Mich is NOT a bad team. Maybe there's going to be some competition in the B10.

News about 2015 football opponents/MAC teams not on UT's schedule
I was at the Central Ok. State game. They competed well and had the lead in the mid 3rd quarter. I think after that you started seeing the different in depth playing a role. They also need to find a ground game but I'm not so ready to write their rushing attack off yet as it was against a highly regarded defensive line.

For anyone that didn't watch the Western Michigan game, they played Michigan State tough. That game was maybe two or three plays different from being a potential WMU victory. I'm glad we play them at home this year!

Generally pleased with our performance, but the final few minutes of that game is going to gnaw on me a little bit. 1st and goal at the MSU 8. Punch it in and it's 37-31 and really interesting (go for on sides kick). Instead it ends in a pick.

How was the crowd there? I'd imagine MSU took a large chunk of the seats but for WMU it's probably the most significant home game they've ever had. I wanted to watch that game, which I thought was going to be on the BTN, but when I tuned into that worthless network they were showing a soccer game. With football options on TV embarrassingly limited I just watched Serena Williams.

Kent State vs. Illinois game postponed due to lightning.

Hmm, I'm beginning to think this lightning thing is punishment from above for any school that hired Tim Beckman as a head coach.

The game was over early and MSU took the foot off the gas pedal.
Sparty could of put up 60 points if they wanted. They could have blitzed all
night and run outside of the tackles. Davis and Phillips had great games for the Broncos. #77 is still getting calls for hands to the face. Franklin was a non entity even before the injury.

27-10 at halftime is "over early"?

I know Dantonio doesn't want to show his whole playbook. But if you're a #5 team trying to impress voters, even a vanilla plan shouldn't allow a little ol' MAC team to come within 8 yards of making it a 6-point game in the fourth quarter.

Every MAC RB would be a non-entity against MSU's defensive front.

One thing about Coach Fleck - he doesn't seem to have lost much speed since his playing days. 03-thumbsup

WMU couldn't run the FB against good rushing defenses last season.
Broncos had a real tough time running the FB against NIU, Toledo, CMU, and Va Tech.

Rockets face Arkansas next, so I thought I'd post a link to the game notes for today's matchup between Arkansas and UTEP as the Razorbacks open their season. This afternoon's game is on ESPNU.
