Other Games - 9/16/23

[Mean Green 93-98]

At the half, FIU is whooping up on a UConn team I thought was at least decent 24-3.  Maybe FIU is better than we thought after making their much-needed QB change.

However, Cal is losing 17-0 in the 2nd to Idaho.

This caught my eye on ESPN.  Highly disturbing to me.

[Mean Green 93-98]

In fairness, Idaho is probably not terrible.  They beat Nevada last week 33-6.

But they are still an FCS team.

I believe UConn (0-2) was favored at home over FIU.  Nobody giving FIU much love yet.

South Alabama out of the Sun Belt is beating Oklahoma State 23-0 in the 3rd.

UAB is getting their ass kicked right now... Dilfer needs to get rid of some of his staff as well

I’m glad we’re not playing Rice this year 

[golfingomez]

I've got a question. Did anyone watch the Colorado game last night? 

I'm watching the highlights and it looks like Colorado St went second during both overtimes. Does anyone know why?

And Idaho’s lead didn’t last, Cal won 31-17

From what I've read, Colorado won the coin toss and chose to go first. Colorado State had the choice for 2nd OT and chose to start on defense.

I was watching it live and looked away between the OTs and also wondered why that happened.  I should have rewound to figure out what was going on but I assumed that it was one of the recent rule changes for OT.

Is there any reason to ever go first other than impending weather that is only a few minutes away?

Yeah... the juggernaut of Cal came  back from 17 down to take down Idaho. Like I said, they might win 3 or 4 this year, or whatever it is I said. They are not good. They aren't. I know you want to think they're good, for it is a good coping strategy.

Everybody’s been doing it wrong for years.  It took Deion to figure out that going first is the better strategy.

The ESPN worship of Deion and “Grown” was an absolute beating.  I’d be irate if I were a Colorado St. fan who had to listen to it for 4 quarters.

Some surprising "other games" scores to mention from this past weekend.

Including the always wonderful P5 upsets....

@Ohio-10,  Iowa State-7 = not really that much of an upset this year.

Miami (Ohio)-31,  @ Cincy-24 =  surprising to me

ULL-41,  @UAB-21 = trouble in Dilfer-ville?

S. Alabama-33,  @Okla State-7 = Yikes!  No, not that Bama.

Sacramento State-30,  @Stanford-23  = The ACC wants a re-vote

Fresno State-29,  @Arizona St.-0 =  Fresno says Pac-who?

TCU crushed Houston 36-13 and SMU rolled Prairie View 69-0.

This score is misleading... it was 41-3 with 5 minutes left in the game, before ULL stopped caring.

Wow, you're right.  UAB (1-2) has only won over a poor NC A&T program (0-3).  

UAB now faces #1 Georgia then @ Tulane.

I looked up the scoring summary because I was interested to see how they went from 3 points to 21 points.  Three touchdowns with three failed 2 point conversions.  I like our odds against them if it comes down to a 2 point conversion.🤣🤣

When it was 41-3, ULL switch to the 3-3-5 on defense just for fun 😉
