Was just about to comment.
Getting smoked 26-0 (until just now, Temple actually scored).
Before the score by Temple, they were over 5 minutes into the second quarter and had 1 first down, were 0/4 on 3rd down, had 9 total yards, including negative rushing yards, and their QB was 2/8 for 16 yards and an int. Looks like stubborn Rod is sticking to his “offensive” philosophy.

Wow, turn away from the Western Michigan game for two seconds to chuckle at Rod, and they give up 2 TDs. What happened?

Wisconsin/Penn St allergic to points in that first half. Wisc inside the red zone twice, FG blocked and a fumbled hand-off. Way this thing is going it could still be 0-0 in the 37th overtime....

Tulane has a WR named Phat Watts. Great name! His brother Duece, also a WR, is a close 2nd.

No way - is Rod still doing that?
Good hire Temple. Best of luck the rest of the way.

FCS Montana State strikes first and is up on the mighty Pokes of Wyoming (that many here have our Huskies losing to, at Huskie Stadium). Ha.

UConn should just drop down to 1-AA. They just lost to a school called Holy Cross.

Watched the Temple/Rutgers game today. Carbon copy of NIU bowl games in recent years. Temple just completely unprepared to compete in any way. At one point in a 6 play span they had a ball hit the WR in chest, deflect up in the air and get picked off, fumbled kick return bc the ball carrier tried to brace his fall WITH THE BALL, and a fumbled snap for a turnover. Yikes.

I haven't watched that game but based on the score I was pretty sure somebody from Rutgers told Rod before the game that it was a bowl game.

At halftime (score 26-7) he said "we played as bad as we could possibly play." His team responded, "hold my beer." Maybe he should have been more specific about which direction he was challenging them to go.

Ohio @ Louisiana currently on ESPN and Ohio is down 14 - 0 in the second quarter. Would be nice to see more MAC teams play Thursday night games on the main ESPN channel.
