Week 1 Games to Watch

[FrogAbroad]

Dunno if BSU @ UCF qualifies as great football but it's pretty darn entertaining.

Guess nobody is watching. Minnesota looks like they have a decent chance of winning this

I've been switching back and forth. I assume if OSU loses, it will be chalked up to a body clock malfunction since Ohio is in the Eastern Time Zone and Minnesota is in the Central or some such and it will be like it never happened come November. But I'm all for some early chaos so go Gophers.

Two observations. One, it’s fun to see OSU play with an inexperienced or otherwise not great QB for once. Should’ve happened two years ago as well. And two, Minnesota’s really good RB has 22 carries midway through the 3rd. Somehow he doesn’t look tired. TCU coaches, please take notice.

Agreed on both counts. Stroud looks awful and Minn understands RBs

I will say that the rougher passer penalty was nonsense and completely changed the game

also - Minnesota has multiple guys on their 5th or 6th year, including QB. Good roster management

What I would do for TCU to run Minnesota’s offensive playbook

Yes, that was a ridiculous call for sure. He was high but he didn’t hit him with any force at all. I hate those calls.

At very least the possession shouldn’t change. That’s total nonsense

 

[Hoosierfrog]

I’d like to say I missed Gus Johnson but..,,

Just be grateful it’s not Beth Mowins…

Well Obama is the ref so I would expect a few more questionable calls from him and his crew the rest of the way

 

[jake102]

That OL play is so beautiful

 

[jake102]

That was a TCU play. RB is tearing it up and your QB runs instead for no gain

 

[Wexahu]

Well, on to the Boise/UCF game.

So, the B1G got him, eh?

Good riddance.

 

[Chongo94]

Always amazed at how so many good qb recruits will plant themselves behind 6 others at a school like UT or OU or Bama when they could immediately go get playing time at a school like Minnesota that is in dire need of a qb and where a qb would make a good team a great team.

 

[Wexahu]

UCF not making a very good “we deserve a conference upgrade” statement so far. Well, now TD UCF.

 

[jake102]

And that’s the counter argument for giving your RB 30 carries

I get it, but it’s also so much easier to look like a good QB when you have 6 or 7 NFL players lining up next to you.

Honestly not sure Minnesota would be a great team even with a good QB. This one they have isn’t terrible, he just has one decent WR to throw to.

I don’t need 30 through 3 quarters, but how about 20-25 for a game?

When was the last time a frog RB got 25 carries? Or even 20?
