Been waiting for this day for a long time. Can't wait to see some real football.
I love that there is a game at 5cst too. Jump right into it.

I know if I were facing Clowney I would double team him and chip him ... and it still might not work.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Chaz Sutton (6'5", 265), the other DE would then have a field day. Lost in all of the Clowney talk is that their other DE is pretty darn good too.

I just really hope he's healthy all year. He's a SPECIAL talent. Legit #1 pick and HOF talent. He's bigger, stronger, faster and just better than anyone else.
Looking forward to seeing Noah Spence for us too.

Well Clowney was underwhelming tonight. That one clip they ran of him walking, standing around, not even engaging the play because he was tired made him look real bad.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It was a very Browns-esque way to lose a game.

North Dakota beating KSU....  Guess I shouldn't be too surprised NDS has been a powerhouse in their division but still KSU was in the fiesta bowl last year, at home, in a brand new stadium!

If you watched the game, it was a great one. The final drive by ND State was incredible .. the 3rd down conversions, the QB play, the clock management, etc .. I found myself rooting for the underdog and I'm glad I watched it.

I was routing for the underdog as well - I love KSU's coach but for some reason never really cared for the team... Pus I typically like underdogs to win

I live in Columbia, SC now. I can tell you it was miserable here. It was in the low 90s and the Dew Point was in the 70s. I was sweating sitting in the shade. The air was so thick it was hard to breathe. I couldn't believe the announcers didn't bring that fact up.
Clowney does have a history of not always going hard, though. And you are right about Sutton. He is very underrated. He's an excellent DE and I think he will be a very, very good pro.

j/c I'm really excited to see how Braxton Miller performs in his second year of Urban Meyer's system. Obviously, it will need to be taken with a grain of salt playing a team like Buffalo. I just hope his mechanics have improved and he shines in the passing game. Go Bucks!!!

I just want to see OSU improve. This game is done.

I could go either way - wouldn't be surprised if either team wins. I would probably pick Georgia to win but like I said I think Clemson has a great shot

Really sloppy game in Columbus. I unerstand guys hurt/suspended, but this is pretty ugly for still being comfortably in the lead.

The defense has been pretty bad all day today, but you have to credit Buffalo for trying to hang in.

I think for the most part you always go with the home team in a season opener. Clemson has proven it could beat the sec's elite.

They didn't look like the 2nd beast team in the country. I could see them dropping a spot or two in the polls.

I agree that they didn't look like the 2nd best team but they were without their top two RBs and their top CB.
Since I watch college football to play armchair GM, Buffalo has a good OLB Kahlil Barnes that would be a good 2nd round pick (too bad the Browns have 4 OLBs and didn't draft Millner in the 1st this past draft) and I think OSUs backup QB Kenny Guiton deserves a look as an UDFA. 9 out of his 16 drives resulted in a TD. I know Braxton has killer feet but I think Guiton is actually the better passer.

PSUs RB Zack Zwinak looks like he might be a future Peyton Hillis although he is only a Jr. He is listed as the teams FB but when inserted as a RB, as a So in week 4, he ran for 1000 yards. This dude can find holes and move piles.

I would agree with you on that, legalize. Guiton definitely has a much smoother delivery, but he also has the wheels when he needs them. It's a shame he never got many reps at QB. He had to play behind Pryor and then took a back seat to Miller. He has handled it pretty gracefully, though. And, he makes positive contributions every time he is called on.

Manziel needs to grow up. He's asking to get taken behind the woodshed when he plays Bama.

I am definitely not an Alabama fan ... but I will be when they play A&M ... and I want them to hit Manziel very hard. I used to stand up for him, but his antics today show his true personality.

Same.
I felt like he was a good kid that just let the spotlight get to him and he didn't know to react. Now he's just become a toolbag.

I don't feel 'outraged', but the kid looked like an idiot.
Are you really going to strut and peacock while lighting up Rice?

Yeah I'm not PO'd or overly concerned with Manziel, but I just think he's acting like an idiot. There are two ways you can take success, and he's choosing the wrong way IMO.
I personally didn't like the motion when he was signing the autograph ... making light of the situation .. just a dumb move.

Everyone rags on Manzel, but what about the two guys who kept getting in his face? He was provoked. Why didn't they get any criticism? Defensive guys were signing mock autographs, pointing at him, getting in his grill, etc. Yet, when the kid finally goes off, it's all his fault?
