Early Games Open Thread

A full slate of non-conference games are on tab for today.  The games are as follows:

Air Force @ Navy: 1:30pm MST on CBS College

New Mexico @ Texas Tech 1:30 pm MST on Fox Sports Net

Wyoming @ Florida Atlantic:  2:00 pm MST no TV (and who really cares)

UNLV @ Nevada: 2:00 pm MST  no TV (sad this should be a good one)

As always bring the comments and lets all cheer on New Mexico because if they hold Texas Tech under 65 points that is a victory in itself.

Let's hear what you think. Register for a free account here on the site and leave your comments, predictions and other game day chatter below in the comments section.

Clemson vs. Maryland

Clemson better not lose to Maryland. That would hurt TCU

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 10:57 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

virginia beat north carolina

that helps tcu a little. no doubt the acc will have a 2 win team win their conference. they will only get the automatic bcs bid. one team in. same thing with big east. south florida won vs syracuse but i believe there were six turnovers in that game for syracuse. cincy will have one loss as their schedule gets much harder the last four games. the big east will only get their one automatic bid. the way stanford and oregon are playing i think this is the year usc will finish second. peace out.

It will be hard with a bye week

I imagine people will forget about them a bit, also I don’t think you should move up or down to much by not playing anyone. But the chances are there as you noted.

Navy AF

Anyone catch how Navy scored? I missed the first 12 minutes…

So far Jefferson looking good though.

I don't want to jinx it

But a certain horribly awful team is tied on the road with another team.

Tim Jefferson down again

It didn’t look good, I imagine we will see Connor Dietz the rest of the game.

It looked like Jeffersons ankle too, not good news.

UNM is back on the field

Can we figure out who stole their uniforms in the 1st half?

Two back to back fumbles

in the AF game. Gives life and the ball back to Air Force after what looked like a game killing fumble on a Jefferson handoff.

Huge penalty

gives air force the ball back after what would have been a game ending INT.

Going to overtime. That was an ugly kick but it went through.

UNM is doiong it!!

They will lose but looks like they are holding TT under 65. Chalk one up for moral victory.

FSU better win

If they lose to BC that hurts BYU even more

For the Navy/AFA game I have been working today and no internet access.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:40 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Navy goes for a FG in their first OT poss.

Its good! AFA needs at least 3

Lucky

I think he should have kicked it, but I just tuned into the game.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:45 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Didn't gain much yardage for the kicker.

They have to kick it now.

FSU/BC

That game is close. BC just scored, FSU needs to win or BYU will look really, really bad.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:50 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

What happened to Taylor Potts in TT game??

The Double T blog has a one day waiting period for comments.

Got shook up

Never heard a diagnosis, but I am guessing head. He never came back out after halftime.

OK thanks

IF UNM was any good they would be in this game Tech has five turnovers.

TD LSU

Crazy finish… Georgia has 45 seconds to respond. Down 13-20.

The refs are going happy on the celebration calls… Stupid!

The late game

With CSU/Idaho hopefully will be good. Idaho has been a surprise and somewhat so has CSU.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:54 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

It should be hard fought the whole 60 minutes.

Rumors

There have been slight rumblings of a noon eastern MWC game to have more double headers for CBS. That would be sweet!

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 8:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ohh!!

Also CBSsports needs to have a full screen version. I like the HQ version but justin.tv has full screen.

FL ST falls 21-28
