Wake really trying to hand this to NCST, despite NCST fumbling at the Wake goal line a minute ago.

I've been bearish (all along) on both Rosen and Darnold (as elite QBs).  Darnold must have grease on his hands, or they are tiny, the guy coughs it up all the time.  Rosen, while, yes he can throw a deep ball, always seems too cute for his own good.

edit: never mind Rosen's own half hearted love of football.  I can't see this guy committing to football as a career.  Aloof may not be the right word, but the guys doesn't seem like he gives two shits for football. (not that there's anything wrong with that view, but not a guy i'd pay tens of millions of dollars to draft).
Darnold is a walking turnover chain. However he does make some great throws. I think he'd be good with a good coach who could coach out the dumb. 
Always thought Rosen is decent. 
They are both top 10 (probably top 5) picks for the simple fact that there is so much trash at QB in the league today and that they can't possibly be worse than say 12-15 of them.

slim pickings.   Some good early ones, at least for awhile.   I ran off with the kids in the afternoon, and really only caught KSU v oSu.   This golden bell game has been fun to watch, despite the darkness.   It was just a nasty day east of the Mississippi pretty much everywhere except So Fla.

Evening has been a little better, but yeah the early ones?  Among ranked teams, only Oklahoma State was upset, and only Notre Dame and Mississippi State won by single digits.  Even 3 of the 4 other Big Ten games were duds.

That was quietly a great game. Wofford is so underrated.

I'm trying to figure out what NC State did to be mildly well thought of?  Beat an overrated Louisville team at home?

Didn't they beat FSU too? That got Bama a lot of miles.

They don't really make mistakes, even that fumble was more a great play by Wake. Plus I think they have a lot of upper classmen starters.

To be mildly fair to Bama (and FSU), FSU went from a modest penthouse to outhouse when Francois went down.

No doubt about it.  FSU has some downright abysmal QB play, that's on them.

I'll take War Eagle and the points this week, particularly if it opens at +4.  Maybe I can finally hit a stupid upset pick.

UDub BD blows up Utah ball carrier.  Probably 90% clean, his crown could be down in the chest.  I guess if the angle is raised a few degrees this is is clean?   No target called on field, now reviewing.   This is where (for the 101st time) this rule makes us all mad.  Now he's called and ejected for it.
