1. My Dawgs handled Buffalo but gave up too many points 45-23

we have two freshmen rb's who had excellent debuts

4. I didn't get to see much of that game

Checking the scoreboard it seemed like Buffalo was always hanging around, but never seriously threatening. Probably closer than it should have been, but that'll happen early in the season ...

Congrats to the Wolf pack!

5. Michigan - Alabama game the one I was looking forward to

It is tough to sit through the lopsided match-ups. Notre Dame-Navy and Southern Miss-Nebraska though Southern Miss did make a game out of it, they just couldn't stop Martinez on D.

My team played Thursday, defeated NAU 63-6.

6. Yeah, there were a lot of lopsided games today

I saw the ASU score on Thursday but didn't get to see any of the game. I'm looking forward to their matchup with Illinois next week ... could be a good game if QB Nathan Scheelhaase can play--he went out with an injury in today's game, but I don't know what the long-term prognosis is.

8. I was at ASU v Illinios

last year. Probably the best game Illinois played all year it was all downhill after that. Should be a decent game next week in AZ.

Bama simply destroyed them...
