I see that Ohio State has a 10-0 lead in late first quarter, and Alabama and Missouri are tied, 7-7.

UCLA is off to a good start vs. Michigan State. Neuheisel calling a fake punt and going for on 4th and one from the 4 yd line. 17-7.

UCLA's interim staff is making a statement for the perminant gig.

They have that team playing to win right now.

I think it's certainly making their coaching search more difficult.

Illinois is solid this year, no question about it. They’ve handled the middle of the pack teams pretty well and they’re sitting at 5-1 for a reason. But that atrocious lost to Indiana is telling. Games like that, or this game against Ohio State show where the line still is. It’s 10-0 right now, and you can already feel the difference in depth, speed, and execution.

Illinois plays hard and they’re disciplined, but they’re not quite built yet to hang four full quarters with a number one team. They can punch above their weight for a while, but eventually the talent gap shows. They’re good, just not ready for the big time matchups yet.

What makes things worse is that Ohio State is really not playing their best right now in this game. If they get things together this could be a very long day for fans in Champaign.

Since crafting this message, it looks like Ohio state is ready to score again.

Wazzu I up 7-0 on Ole Miss in the 2nd quarter. They’ll find a way to “Coug” it though.

SEC is the deepest conference? Says who? They are getting exposed by WSU as average at best. Texas is average. Alabama and Mizz are playing an average game.

UCLA leads 31-7 with four minutes left in 3rd quarter. Play calling is very good.

Does the Weasel jr have something his padre was missing?

Time will tell.

BTW, Bama just took a 3 point lead, 20-17.

Not the sort of game some expected.

Old Miss not looking too excited about being #5.

One has to think they pull away but WSU hanging around.

WSU is shooting themselves in the foot this game and still up 14-10!! Ole Miss is Ole so average at best!!

A lot of empty seats at Michigan State trailing 38-13 to UCLA. They just added 6 (missed PAT) after UCLA put up 38 straight.

There's a lot of empty seats down in Mississippi as well, despite the number four ranking.

Go Cougs!

Missouri giving DeBoer all he can handle and more.

We don't have an Oregon game day thread yet, but I just want to add that Rick Newweasel is showing his hatred of Oregon once again, and also, I just can't stand the CBS pregame crew.

You could not have a better start at home vs The Tide. Then, some idiot has to jaw-jack his way to an unsportsmanlike 15-yarder. Tide scores to tie the game. And, No Mo PO hopes for you? But, Wait a Minute ...

If refs do not call obvious pass interference against the Buckeyes, what chance does Illinois or any team have against this defense? 🤬It's an ILL wind that blows the Buckeyes into town; there's no champagne in Champaign today.

Smitty's team looked spitty. 9 AM body clock KO. No B1G deal for the revitalized Bruins. B1G coaches, please stop whining about travel and KO times. Skipper captains UCLA to Neu heights. Next up for the Bruins, the Terps in LA. Is the Sun Bowl in play for 2-4 UCLA?

Purdue at Minnesota - If a tree falls in Minneapolis ...
