I am NOT liking Bryce's body language. He already looks defeated.

Well, that was embarrassing tackling. The whole team missed. Defensive call was perfect. Just didn't tackle.

Howell with the magic! Scrambling, makes the D commit, hits the crossing receiver over the top for 7.

The Cardinals are committing penalties at an insane rate. Two 15 yard personal fouls and that was about a 50 yard blatant pass interference. *it was 37 yards. 67 yards in penalties in one drive.

Oh wee mayne. Not a good start for the rook.

The independent neurologist evidently made Howell go to the tent. He's fine.

@ChapelHeel80 you seem upset

Holy poo. Howell just got smashed helmet to helmet out of bounds. Flags flew everywhere. Honestly that's the type of poo that should lead to ejection. A ref got injured in the process too.

Wouldn't be shocked at all if that's how the conversation has gone between his camp and the Panthers. Prove it. Show me. You say you're elite and worth elite money, go out there on Sunday with it all on the line and show me.

Alright spidey, let's see it. You say you're worth the big bucks let me see what you've got when you truly have something to play for and aren't just going through the motions on a bad team.

Expecting somewhere between 7 and 10 wins.

Copy and paste it to the gameday thread if you want. I'm too lazy to move it.

Ewers looks much improved from last year. He was pretty bad last year.

Ummm... that's basically where the college game has been for awhile now.

Bingo.

Football just isn't about defense anymore. Even moreso in college. If you don't come prepared to put up a Big 10 basketball score you might as well just stay home.

Oh it absolutely is. See Brady Manek.

CU has been terrible in recent years but they've won a national championship in my lifetime. If you can win titles in the 90s you can do it now. Especially with constant conference shuffling now. If you're winning and have buzz and offer a new television market you have value and CU couldn't easily offer a P5 conference the trifecta. CU is a much better opportunity than NCSU. That fanbase is desperate for ANY success and the program has proven they can build a contender. It's Nebraska in a much better location and minus the delusion.

I hope he plays because I want to see the dog in him. Let's see what he's made of when he's playing for something because the Panthers have played very few truly meaningful football games in his career and the one we had last year Burns went MIA. I want to see him come out and play like a man possessed. If he pouts and mails it in, just trade him because we found out he's not worth a cap crippling contract

I thought Longo was likely the head coach in waiting but then things went south between him and Mack last year. Not sure we'll ever get the full story out of that.

Just seemed clichè as fug to me but then again I'm not a 19 year old college kid.

Seemed like every time someone made a play for App tonight it was a transfer from Michigan or Miami or some other "name" school. I agree. You can't tell me Bama's third stringers aren't better than our third stringers.

He and Mack had a pretty obvious falling out down the stretch last year. Unfortunately, what this year is showing me so far is that it might have been that Mack wanted things to be more conservative. I mean, Mack has always been plenty willing to lean on a bad D instead of getting aggressive and letting his best unit try to seal the deal.

Same against SCar. But he can't keep playing "we'll get 'em after the half". I thought Longo got too cute oftentimes but damn, at least he got cute trying to dial up big plays. This cat runs play action to the RB, fake jet sweep, roll out opposite, one receiver running a route and it's a four yard drag ensuring that if the receiver is covered it also limits Maye's running ability. Just stop trying to look smart. Just let Maye and these RBs make you look smart.
