I was tired and considering going to bed early in the 4th quarter.  Ended up getting sucked in and watched the rest.  No regrets, fantastic game.

They were awarded the fieldgoal even though it was an illegal act

I won $150 yesterday thanks to Wisconsin covering and home underdogs Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and San Diego State all winning. Not bad for a $5 bet.

And Josh Allen continues to look overrated when he plays against Power-5 defenses. I'm still not seeing what guys like Kiper are seeing, other than the prototypical size.

[GhostMachine]

Honestly, Kiper is a joke and has been for years. I haven't paid that oaf any attention since around 2009.

Arkansas are rolling out some Dallas Cowboys inspired uniforms to honour Jerry Jones, cool gesture.

They're pretty cool looking, too.

I'm saying it right now: Butch Jones may be out of a job if the Volunteers don't beat Florida next year AND threaten to win the SEC East, if not actually win it. 

There are already plenty of fans around here calling for his head, because they feel the Vols should have dominated since the Gators had several suspended players. I don't agree, as I expected it to be a fairly close game, regardless, and they essentially did to the Vols what the Vols did to Georgia last year. The only difference is, the Bulldogs had better coverage on the Vols last year when Dobb hurled that hail mary than the Vols had on the Gators. 

 

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, I can understand the Butch Jones hotseat talk.

And if Arkansas is going to do a Cowboy uniform tribute in honor of Jerry Jones, I hope they all get Jimmy Johnson style haircuts for his tribute. 

[Meacon Keaton]

@Blaze09 you gonna hook me up with a job on your staff when you take a head coaching gig? 

SC State up 14-7 early.

Personally, I'm against dumping Butch Jones any time soon. The team is getting better, and they lost the Florida game due to one mistake and dumb luck. The past two seasons, the team had garbage defense against the run. I was at the Missouri game last year, and the run defense looked a LOT worse in person. Plus, I think it would be another situation where they'd end up with a Derek Dooley. I've even heard people around here say they should bring back Lane Kiffin, and that is the last thing I would want. True, the team almost beat Alabama with him as the head coach (the team lost because their kicker, Daniel Lincoln, was garbage who couldn't have hit the broadside of a barn), but he's most trouble than he's worth due to his mouth.

I don't like those Arkansas uniforms at all.

Well TCU-Ok St should be a fun game tomorrow. And I'm intrigued to see if Miss St can hang with Georgia the way they beat LSU last week.

That's... about it for Saturday. Should be some fun upsets on the way though.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Hey, Arkansas/A&M could be fun!

Also, does anyone know if Arkansas State vs. SMU is going to be broadcast tomorrow? ESPN3, maybe?

[gunnar hendershow]

Yes @Your Cloud And Mine it will be on ESPN 3.

[Meacon Keaton]

Great game between A&M and Arkansas. And Tennessee holds off traditional powerhouse UMass 17-14. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Every Tennessee game is unnecessarily close. I should just watch the 4th quarter of all their games since they all wind up being exciting.

Also! Don't turn your back on the Wolfpack!

[Meacon Keaton]

I didn't get to see the FSU/NC State game. Did they look rusty after almost a month off? Or was the true freshman QB in over his head? 

[GhostMachine]

Forget what I said about Jones before. If the Vols can barely beat a jobber team, it's probably time for him to go. I expected at minimum a 14 pt win.

 

[VerbalPuke]

Purdue is playing Michigan really close. 

I don't think Michigan is going to have a good time when they play teams like Wisconsin, Penn State, or Ohio State. Michigan State might be iffy (we'll see what they do tonight).
