Quick Lane Bowl:
Boston College 6, Maryland 0 (blocked PAT)
Regarding the TD drive, BC said "we're going to stuff the ball right down your throat, Terrapins... how does it taste?"

RE: Open Thread 2016 - Army/Navy, Bowls, CFP
Who are these teams, and what did they do to their defenses? The over/under on this one was 43. With almost 13 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, we already have 56 points on the board. Normally, with the kind of lead BC has/had, you wouldn't give much for the Terps' chances, but I'm not so sure.

So good to see the BC Eagles drop the Terps.

Nice win over Maryland for BC. I love that by halftime BC had already scored their most points vs a P5 opponent in the last two seasons.

2-0 Start.
Victories over Big Ten and SEC opponents.
The ACC big guns haven't played yet.

RE: Open Thread 2016 - Army/Navy, Bowls, CFP
Even though Wake Forest ratted out the Hokies, I'm still pulling for them in the Military Bowl. I don't mind if the Deacs go 0-8 in conference next year, but I'm pulling for them out of conference 'cause I'm just such a nice guy.

Most of them are underdogs. A 7-4 ACC bowl record would be outstanding this year. A Wake upset win today would go a long way toward making that happen.

Wake Forest 24, Temple 7.
ESPN.com says there is now an 82.8% chance Wake wins.

Who are the geniuses who thought Temple was a 10.5 point favorite?

Wake Forest now has > 94% win probability.
Cue the Deac fans who will say "see what the Deacs can do when the other team doesn't know what's coming."

Then they should name other teams involved. Either WF is lying or it was just UofL, VT and Army. What was their record in those three games. Again, unless WF is covering for other teams, their offensive game plan security was a non factor in every game they have played since Clawson was hired.

Clearly the Deacons were cheated out of at least one national championship!

Louisville fans proving to be the donks that we all knew they were on this thread. It isnt a matter of wins and losses, its a matter of ethics. Not shocked that idea flies right over your head, though.
