Aikenrooster Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I can't believe the pile of dawg crap that University of Washington football has become. Recuerde, mi amigo, Chris Petersen recruited all those players for Boise State. Huskies could have lost a lot worse. I think Washington will be AWESOME in a few years.

lerxt1990 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Temple beats Penn State for first time in 74 years Joe Juliano, Inquirer Staff WriterPOSTED: Sunday, September 6, 2015, 3:01 AM The celebration in the stands behind Temple's bench at the east side of Lincoln Financial Field took a while to get under way as the final minute wound down, as if the people sitting there still had difficulty believing that the Owls were going to defeat Penn State for the first time in 74 years. Similarly, the celebration on the Temple sideline also was delayed until the gun sounded and the players poured on to the field to dance around. It turned out, however, that this was the way Owls coach Matt Rhule wanted it because it showed, he said, that his team expected to win. Saturday's win might not have been a surprise to the Owls, but the way in which Temple dominated the Nittany Lions in a season-opening, 27-10 victory before a record crowd of 69,176 was totally stunning, unexpected, and something that the Temple fans who remained inside the Linc for a long time afterward may never forget. "Not that our guys just came back, there was no finger-pointing," Rhule, a Penn State player in the late 1980s, said of an early 10-0 deficit. "They just kept fighting and fighting. I was really proud of the fact they didn't celebrate until the game was over. They didn't act like they didn't expect to win." Temple's defense clamps down after first quarterJunior running back Jahad Thomas rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow junior P.J. Walker scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter, completed 15 of 20 passes, and smoothly controlled the game against the highly touted Nittany Lions defense.The Temple defense completely shut down the Lions after the visitors took a 10-0 lead their first two possessions - Joey Julius' 34-yard field goal and Akeel Lynch's 42-yard run. Penn State gained 124 yards on the first two drives and just 56 yards on their final 13 possessions. The nightmare for Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg carried over from last season. Hackenberg, touted in the offseason as a possible first-round NFL draft choice, finished just 11 of 25 for 103 yards. The junior suffered 10 sacks, three of them by all-American Athletic Conference linebacker Tyler Matakevich. After allowing 44 sacks last season, all of them involving Hackenberg, the Penn State offensive line exhibited little if any growth on Saturday. "Our best five are playing," Penn State coach James Franklin said. "The guys that are backing them up are redshirt freshmen that we don't feel at this time are ready. We'll look at it, and obviously there will be adjustments we are going to have to make." Temple's victory ended 39 games of frustration against the state's predominant football program. The Owls' last victory, 14-0, came in 1941. Penn State won the next seven games before a 7-7 tie in 1950, and then ripped off 31 victories in a row. There were some close contests, especially in the Lions' last trip to the Linc in 2011, when a late touchdown clinched a 14-10 victory. There was nothing close about Saturday's contest. "We've got enough players out there that, at any moment of the game, can go out there and make a play," Walker said. "I felt that if we scored we were going to get hot. We all realized that we've got to stay humble and just keep going out there playing." The Owls started slowly but found their offense on a 93-yard drive capped by Thomas' 1-yard run that made it 10-7 at the half. After Austin Jones kicked a 40-yard field goal, Temple capitalized on an interception and 26-yard return by linebacker Sharif Finch, going in front for good on the Walker TD. Thomas scored his second touchdown on a 24-yard run with just over 11 minutes to play. Rhule talked about how happy he was for his players, former Owls, former coaches, and Temple fans. But he emphasized his team will go right back to work Sunday preparing for a vital AAC game Friday night at Cincinnati. "It won't help us if we lose next week," he said. "It's like when we beat Maryland [two years ago], and we were feeling really good. Then Toledo came in here and put it on us. So that is the truest test of where I think we are, how we play next week." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I wish more people would chime in. I like the perspective from others across the heartland. I'm not really across the heartland, but Penn State managed to lose to Temple (27-10) for the first time since 1941 and everyone is in shock . . . and my husband is happy that Northwestern upset Stanford :) 16-6. Nebraska- BYU (33-28, BYU) was quite the finish; especially after sitting through that Penn State game. Edit: Same time I was posting this, lerxst1990 was posting the whole ugly PSU story just above in this thread. It's true, PSU has no O-line . . . :( Edited September 6, 2015 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Iowa State beats Northern Iowa, 30-7. Lots of mistakes from both teams, but an absolutely dominant defense today from ISU, but UNI's offense was also very bad. 4 sacks on UNI's quarterback. It's nice to see ISU win for once, and I hope they bring the momentum to the game next week against Iowa, who killed Illinois State earlier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 So for the 2nd year in a row, we have a game Cancelled because of weather. McNesse State/ LSU. Last year the same thing happened to Idaho/Florida. Can anyone explain why either of these games cannot be played on Sunday? Both games occurred Labor Day weekend. The NFL is NOT PLAYING tomorrow, Most people are OFF Work Monday, there is already 1 College game scheduled. We also had 7, SEVEN other games delayed by weather today. Why is there no backup plan in place?? Fairly certain the SEC Network, which was scheduled to broadcast the game would want to do the same tomorrow. BTW- Kent State/Illinois was delayed Friday night and MOVED to today. So it can be done. Anyone have concrete proof on why/ or thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Pirate Robert Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) In early conference comparisons, both Pac 12 and Big 10 managed to lose 5 games each in the opening week. ACC lost 3. Big 12 lost 2. SEC lost 1. One Big 10/ACC matchup to be played on Monday (Ohio State v Va. Tech) Edited September 6, 2015 by Closer to the Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The check was already mailed, and cashed, the tickets sold. The money has changed hands accordingly, so why does either team need to risk injury in playing a game that everyone knows what the outcome is going to be. The fans aren't going to get mad enough to make the "powers that be" reschedule. That's why these payday games are stupid to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the hell, in this quarterback rich state, can Texas have no depth at that position? Much less having a good starter. I had to shut it down in the third quarter. I couldn't look at it anymore.
