Title: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 09:10:22 AM
Good morning everyone.

Penn State 10, UCF 3 at halftime.  ESPN2

Early kickoff because they're playing in Ireland.

Thanks to bama57's comment about Vandy/Franklin, I took another look at this game.  Although UCF is the home team, I saw the game wasn't in hot South Florida (huge advantage UCF) but instead in cold Ireland (advantage PSU).  Also, PSU has their QB returning... I knew UCF lost theirs to the NFL.  So I switched my pick.  Franklin, weather than experienced QB all favored PSU.  Go Lions!

I just didn't think Penn State would be able to win this one and I stayed with UCF :-[

Still a lot of playing time left.  You didn't trust your instincts, but I did.  I hope you were right.   :clap:

Penn State adds a FG, UCF gets a TD.  Penn State 13, UCF 10.    :unsure:

20-17 this game just turned around when UCF changed QB's

Three straight turnovers.  No one wants to win.   :unsure:

UCF ball on their 20 or so with 8: 30 left 3rd and 15. 


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:23:08 AM
UCF punts.  Penn State ball with 8 minutes left.

The one point line was pretty accurate for this game. I like the games with lower point spreads, makes you pick the winner.


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:35:00 AM
UCF drives down the field, sputters with first and goal (two QB runs and a pass), kicks a field goal.  Penn State 23  UCF 17.  3:30 left, just enough time for UCF to score a TD and win the game (and match the spread). 


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:41:55 AM
UCF 4th down and 10, going for it.  This is the ball game. 

COMPLETE!   >:(

It ain't over yet.

Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:44:40 AM
Looks like PSU might lose this game, too many missed opportunities, FGs instead of TDs.  (2 TDs, 3 FGs).  Last drive play calling had me stumped.  First and goal on the five, and two QB runs? 

Anyway, game currently is a push, UCF up by 1, Penn State ball with a minute left.


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread

3rd and 3 and PSU tries a deep bomb?  who is calling the plays.  get a first down first.

PSU gets first down on 4th.


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:47:50 AM
27 seconds left, PSU in UCF territory with all their timeouts.


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:49:05 AM
commentators grilling PSU on wasting 10 seconds and saving all their timeouts


Title: Re: Saturday Morning in the Game Thread
Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 10:50:05 AM
9 seconds left, PSU now on UCF 20 yard line!  #+

FG attempt for the win.

Clock down to 3 seconds.  PSU still wasted a lot of time.

I switched my pick from UCLA to VA this morning.  I'm nervous about that pick.  UVA is awful, but played well in their season opener v. BYU last year.  Also, it's a home game for VA, with an early start, especially for a West Coast team. I'm hoping that UCLA comes out sluggish with the early start, and that the game stays close up to halftime.  After that I need to hang out.  Risky pick, I might have changed it back to UCLA if I had time, but the clock has run out for that.   :tinfoil:

Potential halfway decent game on CBS Sports Network if you guys get it. tOSU playing Navy here in Baltimore. Two teams have traded punts so far.

OSU throws an INT near Navy goal line.  Navy still leading 7-3.   :clap:

(Wish we had picked this game...  although line might have been skewed once B. Miller went out.)

I see a lot of funny things going on this morning or today. tosu is not the big bully they seemed to be. I kind of hope Mr. Gundy and his 40 can scare FSU tonight. I am thinking it is young in the day and teams have to get their game timing down. I really saw where the Jax St. Gamecocks got  golly whopped last night. RTR!

Virginia completes nice pass, then receiver fumbles, UCLA scoops and scores.   >:(

Virginia's D continues to look good, but their offense is throwing the game, and killing the spread.

First a fumble, scoop and score.

Followed quickly by a pick6.  >:(

UCLA 21, UVA 3

Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2014, 12:33:23 PM
Virginia changes QBs....   TD!!!

UCLA 21 UVA 10


*I still think those two turnover scores will make the spread, but at least UVA is  fighting.

UVA's offense actually outgained and outscored UCLA's offense, which had only 136 yards in the first half.

Navy is running all over Ohio State, and leads 14-13.

Navy has 278 yards already, early in the 2nd half.   :dunno:

I originally wanted to pick Virginia over UCLA due to the spread, but all the talking heads like Herbstreit and others declared VA to be totally lousy and did not have a chance I let those idiots influence me to picking UCLA. I guess that makes me a bigger idiot.
