Well, what do you expect from a guy named Goff?

How do you let that happen, HOW?
Sadly this is just about every single northwestern game. Fucking cardiac cats.

This or whataterribleseason.jpg are about right.
Liked a lot of what I saw from the team tonight. Goff looked very good for the most part. I hope the defensive injuries aren't too serious because Cal could use some help on that side of the ball.
Same here, with 5 bonus points. Now all I need is CSU to take it to CU tomorrow. Both for points and having a CSU alum for a brother.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
And here I was feeling good about my 8 out of 11 (with five bonus points).
Nope, and I'll paraphrase my reaction post from last night in response to that touchdown:HAW
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo our rushing defense stats."

Super bummed out. Was worried about pass rush with Maponga gone and Fields suspended, and it was non existant. The losses at LB for TCU also were pretty apparent. Outside of Varrett, who is awesome, secondary wasn't that hot.
The 4-2-5 is built on really good LB play and the ability to produce pressure with your front 4. That just didn't happen last night.
Don't even get me started on the offensive gameplan. TCU abandoned the run when it was working, and their largest deficit of the game was 13. I'm the maddest about punting on 4th and 2 and down 10 with 5:00 left, when the defense had forced ONE three and out all game.
This is the same Gary Patterson that went for 2 in the first OT against Boise State and West Virginia, so it's not like he's some crazy conservative guy. Ugh.
LSU is good, and I was surprised how well Mettenberger played. Even when the CBs had good coverage, he placed some absolutely perfect balls on receivers. Even still, but that game was very much winnable despite TCU being outmatched and outplayed. Felt like a mostly mistake-free performance would have won the game.
Still had fun at the game. Stadium was packed and loud, much louder than what you will see at Cowboys games.
On the bright side, I guess we had the "best" Big 12 loss?

I missed the second half of the Alabama game. I assume the o-line never really clicked. Looks like the defense should be good though.
I suppose on the plus side Bama's schedule weak enough that as long as they can beat TAMU they can "get by" until the LSU game and hopefully get it together by then.

It's a fig thing. You wouldn't understand.
I have a feeling Berkeley may have its revenge next year. Goff will be a terrific QB as we saw some flashes of his athletic ability last night with his laser throws and razor cut runs. The "Bear Raid" offense will terrify the PAC-12 and non-conference opponents.
At least the team is a lot better than it has been for the past seasons. Cyan, hold you head up. The first game of the season doesn't define everything as much as ESPN and the papers will write.
What a game. Probably the best night game I've seen Northwestern play yet.
As for the booing yesterday, I remember the Oregon games that the Cal players did the same thing. High-tempo/speed offense. Cal players laid down on the field as they were tired unless they were really faking their injuries.
I've never seen Northwestern players fake injuries since I started watching in 2005.
Your title is missing something about vomit.

Had a blast at UCLA's (alma mater) game yesterday. 1st half was a bit weird since our offense was off the field for so long, but that second half was godly.
Can't wait to tear Nebraska a new one at their home field in two weeks.

Game replays are available via Watch ESPN, if you have access to it via your cable or ISP.
Polls should release Tuesday. There are more games through tomorrow (FSU and Pitt tomorrow night).

Looks like Georgia was taking a play out of the Tedford playbook last night.

So guys, Louisville/MACTION starts in a bit, honestly I am interested in watching a bit of Louisville this season, even though they put us out of the Super Regionals...
Also, Clemson looked legitimate to me last night, and LSU's Offense looks like a ton of fun to watch, they both should have good seasons

This season is Louisville's Summer of George.
Next year: Beating up on the ACC.

I want them to win as much as possible just to make our meeting in Kentucky a crazy one.
But I also wouldn't mind UL losing just to stop everyone slobbering over them and just giving them the championship and BCS bowl berth.

Supposedly he had a groin injury and was trying to get off the field but couldn't. I think every team is faking injuries in an attempt to slow down the hurry up. Clemson did some last night as well.

Well alright. It was nice to have football back for 30 minutes. Now to find something entertaining.

It's basically like a clinic doing drills. Might as well not have a line out there if you're Ohio.

Random comment but Teddy always looks so skinny to me, not wrong with that though. He just has the lengthy look

Don't worry. He'll be tested October 18th! Also Cinci and Rutgers probably won't be cakewalks. Jury is out on one or two other teams on their schedule too.

I just have this weird feeling bridgewater will breeze through first 6-7 games the he'll blow a knee or break a leg or something.
