Coming up in 1/2 hour:



Wolverines vs. Badgers

I'd call it he best non-Buckeye regular seasson Big Ten game of the year.

I'm watching SMU/Memphis. Courtland Sutton scores first drive on an underthrown deep ball.

The over/under on that SMU/Memphis game is 69.

That's alot.

And it looks like Tigers are favored by almost two touchdowns.

You watching how fast Furguson's release is ??

Michigan is just not a good team IMO

Dear Vegas, Ohio State ain't beating Illinois by 41, I don't care where they play.

Illinois has never had respect for Ohio State, if this were a game in Illinois I'd probably think they have a chance to win it straight up.

The Buckeyes have a 1 in 4 chance of playing a bad game anyway, especially vs a Big 10 team, who they don't respect, and since the Buckeyes don't act like a Big 10 team anymore anyways.

You know how vegas point spreads work, right? If the spread was at 20, and all the money was coming in on OSU, they change the spread - Jack it up. If the money is still coming in on the Bucks, they increase it again. And again, and again - until they start getting even money.

Cavalier QB Kurt Benkert is lightin' up The #3 'canes.

Great numbers so far:

18 for 19 passing, 288 yards, 4 touchdowns, 0 interceptions..

Against one of the best defenses in the nation.

Never mind.

Hurricanes score two touchdowns in 7 seconds.

Hmmm.... looking like they're gonna lay 60 on em.

That's gonna depend on how long they keep the starters in. That's ALL it depends on.

Kid: I'll never see a TTUN National Title! 😭

Mom: It's ok. Your grandpa can tell you the story about when his grandpa saw one.

This was hilarious when they showed it on tv.

so, are we all watching tonights matchup?

Rosen vs Darnold.

B1G football officials are a freakin' joke. I mean like embarrassingly bad.

Maybe the kid is just thirsty.

I rarely watch PAC-12 but may watch some of the ucla USC game

My boss is a UCLA grad. I’m trying to decide if bothering to watch will benefit me. Just knowing the final score should serve me just as well.

That was an outstanding series by Rosen to tie the game up with USC at 7-7.

This is Jim Harbaugh's son. For real.

Yes, watching the Rosen, Darnold game. Not a fan of Rosen, I took 30 seconds to see his 3 year career stats, it's pretty obvious after 30 seconds, I won't like him.

Watching the game so far, (with an eye negatively on Rosen) and seems to me he looks a lot like Qb's the Browns have had before. I don't want him.

10 x better!

Uhmmmm...........

Are you certain?

j/c:

Rosen looks very good. I am impressed. But man, the refs are hurting UCLA tonight and his team pretty much sucks.

There is a lot to like about Rosen. First off, he plays in a pro-style O and you can see him reading coverages. I like his accuracy and arm strength. I also like how pretty his deep passes are.

I want to see his toughness and leadership. I think he has the other stuff down.

I want cake now!

j/c:

Darnold seems to get shaky at times and makes poor throws as a result.

Herbie is talking about it as I type. Dude starts to panic and makes poor throws.

I'm more impressed by Rosen.

Okay, Rosen just stood in the face of the rush and delivered a decent pass.

The refs are killing me in this game. How was that not a PI on USC?

As I'm typing, Rosen just fumbled.

Coming out of Halftime, the side by side stats, read

Rosen 18 for 28, (10 not completed)

Darnold, 10 for 15, (5 not completed)

advantage Darnold.

Are you making a joke?

It's pretty clear that Rosen is outplaying Darnold by a fairly wide margin. His team is vastly inferior and the refs are making a ton of questionable calls, but Rosen looks to be the superior qb in this game.

I wasn't going to evaluate qbs this year, but Rosen plays in a pro style offense, so I feel I can evaluate him.

I am very impressed. He looks shorter than I like, but he is listed at 6'4". Wonder if that is true? I love his reads and how he goes through progressions. He sells fakes and screens. He is very accurate.

he might be right at 6'4 or a inch or two underneath.

he looks good. i worry a bit about his mobility and pocket presence? maybe im tripping, but i wish he would move a bit better

He just made a really bad read.

Darnold has an awesome arm, but his mechanics are out of whack at times.

Making a joke? Not even close.

In all seriousness, I'm becoming obsessed that keeping the number of incompletions low, in completing a lot of passes, is the Number 1. Biggest thing I look at, and decide whether I like a qb or not.

And it's working out, and it's how I look to spend 30 seconds or less in evaluating whether to like a Qb.

So take everything else away.
I'd like to see a small section of time where in Rosen had a high completion percentage, for me to like him more.

Dude? I love ya, but man............sometimes.........LOL

You know who he looks like to me? Kizer.

That terrible INT aside, I think Rosen looks far better. Even on that INT, Kirk was saying he saw the safety, tried to move him with his eyes, and just made the throw anyway. That can be corrected.

And UCLA is absolutely being mauled by the officials.
