Other games weekend of 9/19-9/21

[MtnBuff]

This year's AFA team is much better than last years team. This game against Boise doesn't set up well though.

Playing CU was a big game for Air Force, they have looked forward to the CU game since last year. Boise basically had a bye week playing Portland State at home.

Add in that it is a short week of recovery and preparation and the factors work against the Air Force.

Still wouldn't shock me if they gutted it out and found a way to win but I wouldn't put any money on it.

How come Boise State can start a True Freshman QB and be as good as #20 in the nation, but there’s no way the Buffs could ever expect to start one?

He’s better than anyone we’ve had as a freshman?

I’m referring to the narrative that Brendan Lewis could never be expected to start next year

USC in with their third string QB now

I honestly fully expect that.

When we win 80%+ of our games each season for 20 years, it may happen. Hang in there.

QB2 get hurt? Sick?

QB2 get hurt? Sick?

He was sacked and slow to get up. We’ll see if he’s out for the rest of the game. Was walking though.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

QB2 get hurt? Sick?

Took a big hit from Fotu and had trouble standing up. Fink in and led them to an easy TD drive

 

[Blackdynamite]

Afa QB missed a wide open guy for a TD. I wish he had missed some of those against us.

 

[Johnny Tarr]

USC in with their third string QB now

Who's thrown 2 TDs now...

 

[Trufflesauce]

Third string QB huh... can we get one of them USC QBs if they have any extra? Sears to CU pls

All of a sudden, reports of Sears maybe transferring because he was QB4 -- well, maybe that's not a red flag after all.

Lewis isn't in Bachmeier's stratosphere as a HS senior.

Yeah ... what is it with these SC QBs who come off the bench totally cold and then direct a drive culminated by a throw-on-the-dime into DOUBLE COVERAGE .... damn them.

Do you mean Bachmeier played better when he was a HS senior? Otherwise, we have the benefit of hindsight with him and we have no idea how Lewis will play in college.

Bachmeier was a good prospect but he was far from an elite, can’t miss blue chip guy.

 

[Blackdynamite]

AFA up 7-0 looking great

Yep, they are only having a slightly tougher time moving the ball against Boise. Their defense might be as good as their running game, tbh

Expound. I'd like to know since afaik (a) Lewis is killing it; and (b) he's 1/3 of the way through his senior season.

Utah = poor man's Virginia basketball. Change my mind.

pretty solid. Here's another one: Utah = P12 Michigan State

 

[Blackdynamite]

The Boise kid is getting lit up but he's good.

That OL is awful.

no, AFA's defense is good goddamit.

 

[You Assholes]

Utah's qh is extremely mobile but he may not survive this game.

 

[Duff Man]

Heh. I believe the advanced stats on Boise OL are really bad, like bottom ten bad.
