So is Colorado good or does TCU suck?

TCU only returned 3 offensive starters from last year's Cinderella team, and they lost a lot of their defensive production as well.  Most folks predicted they'd finish in the middle of the B12 this year.

That said, CU is playing good, disciplined football.  They are much improved over recent years.  I think they're pretty thin so I'd expect TCU to start asserting themselves in the 4th, but so far Colorado looks impressive.

In case anyone was wondering what's going on in the Purdue game...

The Boilermakers were starting the 3rd string Center (because of injury to #1 and 2).  He is now injured.  There is no such thing as a 4th string Center so I don't know exactly what we are starting at this position now.

More importantly, they are wearing the Brees era uniforms.  Beautiful

Yup.  And on the bright side, Texas transfer QB Hudson Card has 167 yards and 2 TDs.

Clearly blind buffoons announcing the Michigan game. I don’t always love the targeting call, but that was blatantly a very late hit and clearly directly into the head of MCCarthy. That seemed nothing like an in the moment hit and not enough time to slow down. It was well after he threw the ball and #5 went upward towards his head.

Why does it need to be binary?

Why not both? (relative to expectations)

Day has gone somewhat well. Slept like garbage, but was up early. Managed to pick up some cheaper gas, no easy feat, then a spot of time at the gym.

Wandered over to a football rally thing in town. Hung for a bit. Then off to pick up a packet for a run tomorrow. They gave me a coupon for a free side that became part of lunch. Then home, watching ball, took a little nap (my resting heart rate is out of control this afternoon). Now gotta get a bit cleaned up to drop by the UW bar for a bit and then to a tailgate before attending an evening game. 

Gonna be a long night.

 I really like Card so far.  You can definitely tell the interaction with center #3/4 is off and impacting his game

Lol.  You've gotta be f'n kidding me.

Purdue's 4th string Center is now injured.

Luckily the previously injured 3rd string Center is coming back out of the locker room onto the field.
