College Gameday Thread: Week 2

[OregonDucks]

Chat about week 2 games. Where is game day gonna be at? maybe west virginia and east carolina?

[Smooth Criminal]

Another tune up game for the buckeyes this week. Hopefully Wells sits out and gets ready to go for the first real game, @ USC.

[djp]

Gameday will be in Gainesville for Miami vs Florida

[CLong4Heisman]

i actually like Miami in that game. Maybe like 23-21.

[kwilk103]

we will win, another good passing day for white

devine will run wild

[Don Vito]

Ole Miss vs. Wake Forest is something I've been waiting for since schedules came out. It's at Wake and I would go to see it but it will be televised nationally on ABC Saturday.

[Turtlepower]

Mark Sanchez is going to destroy the bye week!

I think they keep it close till the fourth quarter, but Florida will pull away towards the end. I think Kirk Herbstreit has it as close, but I see it like a 35(ish) to 24(ish).

What do you guys know about Miami that I dont, did they get back the 01 team or something?

[CashmoneyDrew]

I'm pretty sure Tennesse is off this weekend and they definitely needed it. Those coaches need to be better and gameplan around their strengths better.

[trekindude]

South Carolina will hopefully dismantle Vanderbilt. I'm hoping Smelley shows he can pass well against a decent secondary and the D should be just as stifling as it was of NC State.
24-7 to the 'Cocks

Oh its not Miami. If Harvin isn't 100% still then Miami might be able to contain Tebow. Also Miami has one of the fastest D's that Fla will see this year regardless of conference.

[BigJohn98]

Florida blows Miami away. I see something to the tune of 59-10.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

USF going to destroy UCF.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

By the way, I like ECU's D to make the WVU game interesting, unfortunately.

[Sniper]

Michigan! Miami of Ohio! Get into it! First to ten points wins....we could lose :( And then I could slit my wrists...we just don't seem to do too well against teams from Ohio.

vt wins if tyrod plays

they left some points on the board

i say we win by 14 pts

plus, vt's offense is/was pretty bad, so its not like the ecu d was goin against a top 10 offense

also a classic letdown game; mid-major wins a big game, then they dont seem to carry it to the next game

doesnt help that their qb is already giving our d bulletin board material

rumblings the game may be moved b/c of the hurricane

[Sniper]

Link to bulletin board material?

[kwilk103]

heard on our sports radio show tonight

their qb pinkney, said they already beat the toughest team on their schedule

just said it after practice today, but there should be an article on it soon; when i get it, i'll post it

Well VT's always got a really good defense, so maybe that's what he was alluding to.

[kwilk103]

either way, not exactly the smartest thing to say

the hurricane could affect things; if its windy, that helps our running game; we have a good run defense, and that would hurt their pass defense

wouldnt be shocked if they changed the start time

[504 to ATL]

Kwilk I did not get a chance to see WV play, what is your assessment on their play?

I actually picked ECU to beat them as my upset special in my college pick-em contest. I have no clue why obviously since I did not see WV play. I saw the score vs. Nova was closer than it should have been for awhile, then WV pulled away. Try and take an unbiased point of view and tell me, is there any way ECU "could" beat WV?

offense rolled as expected; they insisted on keepin 8/9 in the box all game so we passed all day; thats why devine had so few carries

defense played very basic, keep it in front; when we did blitz, they couldnt do anything; plus, we put some 2s/3s with our 1s during some of the game; all big east mlb reed williams is expected back, and he will help our defense; even 'novas qb said the defense was basic and we didnt disguise anything; just simple cover 2/3 all game; we will play more man and blitz more this week

hurricane is the thing to watch; imo, it helps us more than it hurts us; it will rely both teams to run the ball, which is our strength; the strength is our defense is the run d; the only team to get more than 100 yds on us last year was rutgers, which was also played in the rain

i only seem them beating us if we turn it over several (3+) times; i dont see their defense holding our offense in check; even if our d is bad, i just cant see their offense keeping up with ours

last few years they kept 8 in the box, and our better talent won out; this year, if they do that, we will throw, opening the running lanes up

if it turns into a shootout, i dont see them keeping up

just looked it up, vt left between 9-17 points on the board (int from ecu 19, turnover on downs from ecu 5, missed 44 yd fg)

it was more of vt shooting themselves in the foot, imo

we should cover easily

[kwilk103]

all big east lb reed williams is expected to start

josh jenkins is going to get 50% of the snaps from here on out; impressive considering going into camp our whole 2 deep returned

doc said he as the best guard in the country last year, but even then he didnt know he was that guard, and has impressed him

[scottyboy]

if Rutgers loses to UNC, I'll...****, I can't even think of anything to say that I'd do to myself...
