College Football Week 1 Gameday Thread

Agree!

Also the Rebels stood their ground the first half. If the Badgers had played a good team today no way they would have won.

Denard played absolutely fantastic IMO. He really only had 1 read to make in the passing game, and he made it well pretty much every time. We all knew what kind of speed he had, and man did he show some moves out there. Just a great game.

That said though, I do think its necessary to keep in mind what kind of a defense he was doing this against. UCONN lost two guys in the secondary that combined for 9 of their 12 picks last year, on a pass defense that wasn't very good (88th in yards and 85 in pass efficiency), and ranked 62nd overall in the nation. They were replacing the best pass rusher in the Big East from last season in Lindsay Witten, and projected starter Marcus Campbell went down with a knee injury in fall camp.

That said though, this was a great game from Denard, and very promising for his, Michigan's, and RR's futures, but lets not crown him based on one game against a bad defense. The country did the same thing with Forcier last year and we all remember how that turned out. Lets wait until he puts together a string of games against solid defenses.

Pretty much this, but I think Denard played just alright. He did a great job making his reads in the read option game, and threw the ball well on screens, hooks and swings...but that's pretty much all he threw.

Consider me a believer of his if he can do that against a legit defense. He still doesn't scare me as a Penn State fan.

Oh, and Big Ten fans need to be afraid of Robert Bolden in the future. He's going to be a great quarterback with more experience.

AWESOME!

The Lobos should do that, so they have hopes of scoring at least one TD this year.

LOL wut? Our defense completely shut you down, and our running backs ran circles around you.

That ECU hail mary was absolutely insane. One of my close friends is a cheerleader for them (She's fine as hell) and this was her first college game, helluva way to remember it

That whole game was nuts. Dominique Davis was originally at BC right? He looked light years better in this game than when I saw him as a freshman a few years ago.

I watched that last gasp play for the Pirates before going to work... makes me glad there's still insane luck involved in college sports.

Being 6'8" certainly helps of course ;)

They saved the best for last; Boise State-Tech tonight! Cannot wait!

I hope Boise shits on VT

Excited for tonight's game. I have barely gotten to watch any football this weekend other than LSU-UNC.

Tailgating all day is fun but unless you have a super RV set up with a few tv's, you miss out on the other games.

I'm going for Boise, but that's partially because I find it fun to watch Virgina Tech choke every season. Ever since those fucksticks backed out of our home and home in 2003, I've held a grudge. Sure, we got payback in 2007, but it isn't enough. Also, Frank Beamer's steady stream of undisciplined assclowns nearly ruined the Atlanta Falcons from the inside out.
