Incarnate Word 14
UTEP 7

10 minutes until halftime

There is going to be a lot of talk on youtube about the favorites saying....WTF happened? Not realizing that in the last few years the G5's are pretty good and better than a lot of P5's. Can't wait till the 12 team playoffs and it all starts over again. Monty Show on Tuesday is going to be fun along with 365 sports for the BIG12. It's already happening in the BIG fans with Purdue's loss to Fresno right now. Not surprised from the Fresno State perspective with only a -3.5 spread for Purdue.

A bad day for FCS HBCUs

Lots of laughable scores -- lots of teams playing teams they have no business playing (looking at you, Oklahoma, Oregon, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, etc.).

... a potential 'X-factor' for Tx. St. was their new QB - T.J. Finley, who has bounced around teams (LSU, AUB) - I think he is a pretty solid QB, and evedently he's found a home for this season...

ILL at the Toledo 20 - under a minute - could end up being a FG decision... (on B1G network if anyone is interested)

Albany 17
Marshall 21 final That was a close one.

I see he's a big QB. Yeah looks like he may have found his home.

Bama skull drug my Raiders. By about the same margin as adding up the score delta of all other three times we played them.

Prior 3 meetings -51
Today -49

Bama’s OL is sick and massive (three starters over 350 lbs). Their OL is bigger than the NFL’s heaviest OL. Very different offense than we’ve seen the last few years. They’re going to be bringing back some old school football to the SEC this year.

How about a rule that teams that finish in the top 25 can't play FCS games the following year? Then again, that wouldn't have stopped the Oklahoma-Arkansas State slaughter.

have you noticed you just don;t see a lot of 80+ scores in these mismatch games each year? Plenty end in a score of 70s, but 80+ seems a no-go for many coaches. personally I'd like to see some 80, 90 and occasionally 100 scores just to keep it interesting.

OU was primarily running up the middle in the 4th quarter trying not to score. They also ended up playing a 4th string QB.

The game just got out of hand very early. Good for my team, but it wasn't a good game.

...yeah, it was the all-too-familiar 'script' of a calculated complete game - 14 points per quarter is about as consistent you can get - I hate to say it (as a UAB-Aubie), but I wouldn't be surprised to see Bama take it all this year... especially after seeing UGA a bit out of sorts (I'm sure they will be in top form when my Blazers show up in Athens, however... )
