He did fine, but anytime the players see their leader and stud QB it isn't easy to rally. Let alone when you got the #1 ranked team in your stadium paying you a visit. All I am saying.

Lets see, Michigan had a nice win. Their defense stepped it up against an alright San Diego State team. Nice to see defensive play like that, but this week is when the real tests start. Big Ten play starts, and we need to keep improving that D with the offense continue their scoring. I still don't believe we should be ranked, this early on.

I wasn't surprised by ASU beating USC. I picked ASU to win. Just based of what I heard about them, and that I rarely had heard anything before. They could surprise some people, and holy hell they are quick. They have some tough runners and speed, tough combo.

LSU is going a different strategy. Instead of winning those close games, they are winning in rather dominating fashion. Helps having a great play maker in Tyrann Mathieu on defense. Some of the things he does are unreal.

That Toledo/Syracuse ending was fucked up.

Well it is hard not to rank a storied team like Michigan who is off to a 4-0 start. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be ranked lol.
I think we will win next week against Minnesota.
Probably our first loss will come to Northwestern on the road, but I still think that is a very winnable game.
If we win those two games, I like our odds against State, even on the road.

Oh I know that's why we're ranked. Especially been like that the last 3 years. I'm not complaining, just that we haven't exactly earned it yet lol.
Those are my thoughts about it. I see Minnesota being a win, but I think it'll be an interesting game, because they have Marquies Gray, whose a similar style of QB Denard is. Which could be easier on the D, since we see that in practice with Denard.
Northwestern will be a tough one. Pat Fitzgerald keeps that team competitive, no matter who he has playing. I thought they would struggle without Persa, but nope. They haven't lost a step, and Persa has a good chance of just easing right back in without a hitch.
I like our odds against state always, but that's because that damn streak needs to end already lol. I think we'll win both those games. At worst, lose the Northwestern game.

Just about ready to give up on the college season.. Braxton is by no means a polished passer, but the play calling is horrendous. We should rarely if ever be lined up in the I.. Adjust to your personnel, don't make them adjust to you..

LOL freaking dumb announcer in the Auburn - So Car game.

Dyer just hurt his leg and they watched the replay to see what happened and the guy was like "running backs carry the ball right in their gut and a lot of times they come down right on the ball, and it doesn't feel good." "Yep, he came down on the ball there." ...."they are checking Dyer's ankle.."

LOL freaking retard.
