I have PTSD.  I'm watching Illinois - Maryland and am jealous of both defenses.

YouTube keeps striking the Illinois-Maryland channel, so I'm contenting myself with streaming some High School football. Muleshoe Vs Tulia from the panhandle of Texas. McCook Vs Seward from "out there" in western Nebraska. Not much else happening on this do-nothing Friday night.

Was that the worst 3 and out in history?  Pretty close to it.   Peters takes two sacks and throws a ball to an OL and is called for Grounding.   4th and 37.   Maryland will have all day for a FGA or TD.

Here is an interesting stat.

Kent State leads the country with 8 interceptions in 2 games.

Iowa is currently 2nd in the country with 6 interceptions in 2 games.

I think the odds of there being a few picks in the Iowa-Kent game are pretty good.
Yes, these stats are interesting. I would like to see 2nd string Alex Padilla get quality snaps, but Kent St. could push Iowa. It would be a good experience for Padilla against their pass defense. That said, Kent St. performs better on offense. I doubt Kent St. performs well against Iowa's defense.

Usually when Pitt is on the ESPN+, the local ABC affiliate picks it up, and sticks the national ABC game on CW, or something. This week? Nope? Pitt-WMU is available on Bally Sports Detroit in Michigan, but you have to stream it, literally within the city of Pittsburgh, as ABC is showing MSU-Miami. Big yikes Pitt.

Auburn did better than I expected, as did Florida.

Auburn's defense cannot cover the TE and their QB sucks. I don't really see them doing much in the SEC this year.

Florida looked very impressive however. I think they might be for real this year.

I watched the Browns do something like that about 7-8 yrs back......on successive drives.In like just over 3 minutes before the half they went from a 10-3 lead to down 13-10 on 2 fgs and a defensive TD  :sign0065:

They still did better than I expected.  As for UF, I think Mullen is a very good coach.

I hear ya. I think Bama is going to destroy Auburn. 

As for Mullen, I think he's better than very good. He'll have Florida competing for titles before long imo.

As we approached halftime, I started fast-forwarding through the Purdue / Notre Dame game in large chunks because I was time-shifted anyway.

I noticed some interesting things in the stat lines...



Story of the game was big plays (and TOs)... Purdue gave them up. Obviously you give credit to the ND offense for making those big plays and snagging two interceptions, but otherwise there was not domination by the supposed top-15 Domers...
