Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Welcome Back, Football: Opening Night LIVETHREADBLOG

Finally, our long nightmarish wait is over: college football has returned to us.  True, Iowa doesn't kick off for another 41 hours, but while we wait for our black-and-gold fix, we can temporarily satisfy our cravings with tonight's action.  We're no longer stuck with just some dogshit boring ACC game to watch, either -- we have games involving teams that actually matter to us, if only for their schadenfreude potential.

* Northern Illinois at Iowa State, 7pm CST (various Fox Sports Somethings)

* Minnesota at Middle Tennessee State, 6:30pm CST CST (ESPNU)

* Marshall at Ohio State, 6:30pm CST (BTN)

* Fucking Towson at Indiana, 6:30pm CST (BTN)

There's also Southern Miss at South Carolina (6:30pm CST, ESPN), Pittsburgh at Utah (7:30pm CST, Versus), and USC at Hawaii (10pm CST, ESPN) if you're jonesing for more.  Come one, come all.  Just obey the rules: no discussion of pirated streams, no porn, and no politics.

Did we forget how to tackle in the off-season?

ISU’s looked a little better than I thought, but NIU has looked incompetent for much of this game, on both sides of the ball.

He's actually not that bad.

He was on my friend’s CFB fantasy team last year, and I essentially manage her team because she’s a girl and doesn’t follow CFB closely enough to know who to start each week. He was one of her more reliable players, week to week.

Then again, her team wasn’t that great, so being one of her regular starters didn’t mean that much. Sort of like being the starter for ISU.

It is not as good as that stat line looks.

The ISU offense is getting no push for Alexander Robinson. Arnaud is having to air it out. He has thrown two picks and to be honest if NIU had even a trace of a passing offense this game would be tied or NIU would be winning.

Utah is a good team, and I know this is in Utah. Still. The idiots pollers voted a Wannstache coached team 15 preseason.

Once again, Wannstache finds new ways to lose.

It’s damn impressive in a way.

remember we couldn’t beat them in ’08, so…

to be fair, we couldn’t find ways to beat MSU, Illinois or Northwestern.

We were laboring under the Jake factor.

More importantly, one game does not erase a career’s worth of blunders.

Penn State fans better have watched their instate rival closely
A lesson in young quarterbacks. There is nothing more agonizing than having a good team led by a young, inexperienced QB.

He's gone for two after all three USC touchdowns.

He’s really embracing that “supervillain” role.

I see Bellanca prepping for the Iowa state resurgance

not likely. They are raw. We may be too but they look really raw. They are not a joke mind you. They’ll pose a threat as they should. But They don’t seem to have the receivers that can take over a game and they don’t look very fast. On defense, they look very average.

I kind of want ISU to challenge but (of course!) lose

so we have the player’s attention going to Tucson. Wait…does Iowa play this weekend?

My logical brain sez no way Iowa can lose. My fan brain, which is still recovering from the dry heaves after watching UNI last fall, is starting to red line.

Seriously

there are rumors they may not have half of their starters and even if they do…it has to be a massive distraction.

EIU 2010 is not UNI 2009.

They aren’t as talented or as motivated. They’re dealing with a slew of injuries and distractions.

Unless they plan on bringing a fleet of pick-up trucks to take out our offensive linemen, we should be just fine.

All fair points, but ...

for some reason I have the willies about Saturday.

I think it’s because I’ve always had a suspicion that playing teams like Directional U is like stepping in fresh dog crap. You try and try, but you just can’t shake them off. And then you got their stink all on you.

I didn't think Arnaud looked much different from last year.

Capable of some good short passes (and the occasional good longer throw), but also prone to throw in a bafflingly bad decision every now and then, too. If Iowa can prevent the short stuff from causing too much damage and make him pay for those inevitable mistakes, they’ll be alright.

Evil A-Rob is a good running back; he should be a good test for our run defense – i.e., how well can Binns handle outside contain? Can Tarp/Davis and Nielsen pick up where Angerer and Edds left off?

Agreed about Arnaud.

He overthrew a bunch of receivers. And if there’s one thing that Tyler Jimmer Jammin Sash loves, it’s overthrown deep balls.

I predict at least on fumble on that zone option too

it’s like the 1980s wishbone without players who practice handoffs endlessly. Klug or someone will force at least one fumble on that.

by StoopsMyAss on Sep 2, 2010 11:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

This.

Plus the fact that there is simply no way that the option read is going to work to the tune of a 63-yard touchdown. Ask GT how the Iowa D reacts to the option.

by SallyMason on Sep 2, 2010 11:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

He also gets a weird itch to try and thread the needle in the middle of the field a fair amount, too.

If Tarp/Johnson and Nielsen are alert, they should have a few chances to get deflections.

I think that offense is made for turnovers

nothing like taking young men and speeding up the decision making process. Iowa may force 12 turnovers in that game. I seriously would expect our defense to be licking their chops.

I don’t get this sort of offense. It is such a H.S. offense.

by StoopsMyAss on Sep 2, 2010 11:36 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm interested to see if conditioning plays a factor, too.

They had some fat linemen sucking wind tonight and that was for a night game under (from what I could tell) fairly pleasant conditions.

Granted, they weren’t as fast as the Minnesota linemen…

I look at it this way

we crushed them last year. After we looked like shit. And we should be better this year. They did not look appreciably better to me. More continuity on offense but that offense is a ticking turnover bomb.

Looks like Hawaii is going to be down by 7 going into half

Their offense is moving the ball really well but their defense hasn’t stopped USC from scoring yet

ball crosses goal line

ref places ball on 1 yard line, makes perfect sense to me.
