College Football 2010: So it begins

[Solomwi]

Because they complain about it or because they leave their starters in? I'm not sure those in the latter group necessarily disagree, and like I said above, I haven't seen anyone in the former group. For the record, I should have said universally considered the safe, sportsmanlike thing to do.

Q. How hard is it to keep your team focused on this game? You've won 27 games in a row against Temple. They haven't scored a touchdown against you since 2003. How do you keep your team focused?

COACH PATERNO: Looking at some tapes. This is not the same Temple team that we've played. Last year they played well. We had some things happen to us that made it a little bit made the score look a little more impressive, last year.
But I think when they look at the tapes and they know the kids by the way, this is a young Temple team. Al's got a young team. And they play with a lot of enthusiasm. And, as I mentioned earlier, good size, good athletic ability. I think nowadays with all the tapes that are available and kids can take tapes home and the whole bit, unless they're stupid, they can take a look and see some of the people they're going to play against and they realize this is a better Temple team than any we've probably played in the 21 years or 23 years that was suggested.

JoePa says this is the best Temple team in over two decades.

Excellent example of "it's all relative".

That's retarded.

[SlowwHand]

Alabama at Arkansas. Should be good.

Lot of big plays in UAB-Tennessee. UAB's first (right now only) TD was impressive. UT just answered with a 72-yard TD pass. I suspect this will be the point where the natural order of the world asserts itself and UT makes this the blowout it's supposed to be.

Just gunna add my usual $.02:

Badgers!

49 to 3 at half. 418 yards offense to 88 for... yes, I know... Austin Peay

From RebelMasoli on Twitter:

"I hear that if we loose today it will be the most disappointed Ole Miss fans have been since integration."

And from SummerofMallett (a spoof Ryan Mallett profile) last night:

"Watching 'I Am Legend'. Disappointed it's not just a constant split screen of my arm and my crotch."

Quite a start in the A&A game.

Here's hoping the next 59 minutes live up to it!

70-3 Wisconsin. I'll take it. Bring on Michigan State. We'll give the interim head coach a heart attack too!

[Guynemer]

Watching the Michigan game on DVR now, was at a poker tournament. I heard DRob gets a minor injury, but should be good next week.

At least the defense only allowed 280 yards and 21 points. Too bad it was against a MAC team.

Approaching the half... Temple over Penn State 13-9

Temple has not beaten Penn State since 1941... this may finally be the year.

[duke o' york]

Alabama 7 Arkansas 17 at half time. Really good game so far.

[Al B. Sure!]

sigh... the march of inevitability... Penn State is up 2.

UCLA 27 - 6 Texas with 7 minutes left in the 4th. Show me some California love!
