Colorado strikes quick on their first possession for a TD. Let's see if their D is any better than last year now.

GT with 3 fumbles last year.  2 already tonight and making life easy for Colorado.  Neither forced.

And despite that CU is only up 7-0 with GT knocking on the door of the redzone. With a quick strike opening score and two gifted turnovers they've really blown a golden opportunity to blow this game wide open.

Yep.  GT with 3 straight turnovers and then backed up on the 1 for the start of the 4th series.  Colorado blew the gifts overall

Momentum really swinging. Colorado still up 7-3 after GT stalled in the redzone their last drive but after a quick score on their first drive Colorado just can't move the ball at all while GT was moving the ball at will after they stopped turning it over.

App St game just got really sloppy. Charlotte just committed 3 turnovers in their last 4 possessions, and App St has had 2 def players ejected from targeting the last 2 defensive drives.

I think the college targeting rule (or really the punishment) is the worst in all of sports.  I’d didn’t see these hits but ejection for simply any hit that meets the definition of targeting is just too harsh for me.

The hit on Harrell I could see because the player launched into him after he had fumbled the ball and really knocked his azz out. The one before to me, was iffy. If they only had lifted their helmets level and not lowered them, neither one would have been called. Its about fundamentals.

Yeah, the penalty is one thing but the automatic ejection seems too much but people would be hollering if it was left up to ref discretion so I get it.

Tarleton State. Oh, my

Wake Forest in a 10-9 dog fight with Kennesaw State. Kennesaw's ball with two minutes to go. We'll see if Wake hangs on against a school I literally didn't know existed. LOL

Big surprise Charlotte still sucks

Auburns kick return just reminded me we haven’t returned a kickoff for a TD since 2017

I've always respected GT's QB. He can't throw, he's not particularly fast, but he still finds a way to be pretty damn effective. Gotta respect it. It drives me crazy because it's like WTF... why can't we stop this guy, but he does it to a lot of teams.
