watched some of the ND game. I know Navy is a service academy and they probably suck, but ND looked impressive. Sam Hartman looked good. ND might be a problem this year bc I think they have a real life QB for the first time in a LOOOOOONG time.

I saw a bit of the Navy/Notre Dame game from Ireland but it was a complete Wipeout and not very interesting.

It looks like all the evening games are pretty good:

  • UTEP/JvSt are in a close one late.
  • UMASS/NMST are tied at the half in a bottom ten thriller.
  • OhioU is down 4 at halftime at SDSU
  • SJSU just tied up USC.
Why is Hawaii/Vanderbilt delayed?

looks like they will be getting lightning for a while.

Tried to watch a little of ND-Navy and Navy really wasn’t even remotely competitive in the parts I watched.  Just home from dinner planning on watching USC, but didn’t realize it was on PAC 12 Network which is the only one I guess I don’t have.

Watching Ohio-SD St.

Ohio has a guy named Titsworth, so I’ll probably keep it here just for that.

Kid is a baller.  What is he- 25? 

it has been a while since the Irish had a legit QB.   They do now.

USC's defense is still a pathetic joke....they ain't winning jack with that defense. Spicy hot-take, but Lincoln Riley is the new RichRod. WVU RichRod that is, not the god awful Michigan one.

yeah he's like 24 and was already in college for 5 years. Seemed to work out well for Georgia starting a 26 year old at QB.

San Jose State is putting it on that USC D right now. it's 21-14 at half-time. USC ain't making it out of the PAC let alone to the playoff...

A little rush to judgement from 1 half of football- don’t you think?  

USC invested a lot in the portal to improve their defense, as well as recruiting.  Is it possible the will improve each week? Your boy Domani just got burned.  Might he improve?

you may be right. It’s way too early to know

they are just bad on defense. and they have bad coaching on defense. Alex Grinch and that entire staff should've been fired. Lincoln Riley truly does not care about defense. Modern day RichRod. WVU version that is. they are playing San Jose State and their defense looks god awful.

they can portal all the players they want on defense- they are still going to SUCK as long as Grinch is the DC and Riley is the HC. Domani is a prime example of why you need to go to a good coaching staff to develop. Kid would be a baller playing for Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale. Instead he's going into his 2nd year at USC and he stinks. he fckkkked up haaaaaard not hitting the portal and joining Will Johnson at Michigan.
