Florida @ Utah (7pm ESPN) (+ NC State @ UConn (6:30pm CBSSN))


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

A shockingly decent Thursday night to kick off Week One!

Leading off while you get your beer and dips ready - NC State goes to Storrs in one of the weirdest home game matchups of the year.

Then the real meat of the night:

Matt Rhule Nebraska Football starts off Rowing the Boat in Minneapolis. 

And the marquee OOC game - a wounded Utah (Cam Rising is still injured - his backup is experienced but not as good) hosts a Florida team that's trying to prove that Billy Napier hasn't been a desperately disappointing hire.

Have a sneaking feeling Florida is going to win with Rising not playing.

I have a sneaking feeling that Utah is going to beat Florida with their third string QB

Going on the road to Utah is no joke

Probably this

I hope that the D line lives up to the pre-season hype, and that it wasn't just a case the Gata O line sucking.  

We will see if we Mertz is any good,  I think at Wisky he basically only threw the ball on 3rd down, but that didn't go well.  Florida has the RBs to MAKE defenses worry about the run (If the O line is serviceable)  insert Gata coach (here) has proven he will run the ball.

I looking out for young WRs to step up.  IMO Douglass is a guy to watch out for.

Special teams, I have no idea.

I'm thinking Minnesota mudholes Nebraska

UConn/NCSt should be close

I think Nebraska will give Minnesota a game. 

I'm kind of surprised folks think UConn/NC State will be a game. XM 84 was talking about it as such today as well. I guess I'm not giving Mora enough credit because I've assumed NC State will basically pitch a shutout and win something like 38-0.

Interested to see how Minnesota performs this year.  I think Fleck has used the same starting QB for the entire time he is been there.  Kid started as a freshmen, got a COVID season, and a medical redshirt season.  I believe they had several other long tenured players graduate too.  

As for NU, can't get much worse.  The team should have enough talent to be competitive with most of their schedule and game day coaching hopefully will improve.  That said, new system and little depth in some key spots.

Me too. Mora coached UConn up to bowl eligible, which is great for them, but NC State should be a solidly middle-of-the-pack (heh) ACC team with a really experienced QB in Brennan Armstrong and no more Tim Beck.

Are people excited about the raucous atmosphere in (checks Google) Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field?

Pops was a Gopher (undergrad and law school).  They will always hold a spot in my heart.

texifornia is just a taaaad bit excited 

Yes. And I earnestly love those absurd pregame edits. Auburn is probably the best at them, but I like Minny's summer camp aesthetic.

Gonna get in a little warm up with Wake and Elon.  Switching to the Gators and Utes at 7.

Same, got friends who are alums of both. Elon isn't beating Wake Forest High with coverage busts like that.
