They've got some impressive freshmen on offense. I expect they'll be a bit up and down relying on youth.

Oh, and this thread should've been called the week 7 thread. Paying attention is a problem for me.

No excuse. Ball State is losing to a god awful team, they should win this game at home. Georgia State lost to Liberty....in football.

Losing to Lady Liberty is acceptable. But the school? Probably not.
Lembo has been there quite a while, so yeah, giving him excuses?....no.

That's embarrassing. Not just to them, but NIU. How did NIU give up so many points to them?

Sometimes if the matchups are just right you get this weird things. Take the Memphis thing. All year they have looked just god awful on defense, yet today they were able to pull an upset against Ole Miss. Weird things can happen in one game, but it is surprising to see Ball State down in that game.

Neither of those situations are weird in my opinion. Memphis is a VERY good team, and Ball State is a terrible team. Just surprised that Ball State would lose to an even more terrible team at home.

Very is probably a huge stretch. You can't have as bad of a defense as Memphis has and be called VERY good

Memphis is good. Plain and simple. Though I think Ole Miss was overrated.

Haha, I didn't think Memphis was VERY good at the start of the year either, but clearly they are a VERY good football team. If you don't think that, well, I'm not sure what to tell you. If they win out they will easily be the G5 rep. in the access bowl.

You have to be impressed with WMU beating Ohio 49-14. 430 rushing yards and Franklin was the 3rd leading rusher with 95 yards.

The refs and replay officials in the Michigan-Michigan State game are drunk out of their mind.

You also can't call a team "downright awful" when they're 5-0 this season and 15-3 over their last 18 games, but there you were doing it anyway.

...but it's impossible that Memphis ran into a bad matchup or two but won anyways?
No team is perfect. Even bad teams have good players and good games. Winning is always hard.

75 yard TD to the fullback. This Michigan/MSU game is nuts.

Kent State takes down UMass and the Minutemen fall to 1 - 5 on the season with Toledo up next. I cannot wait for UMass to be out of the MAC. They have been complete basement fodder since joining the league and it should help the MAC to lose one from its deep bottom.

Ha ha, alright Kent! Sure looks like a good decision to cut a football-only UMass loose.
