    Yeah, he was a 5-star prospect out of FL that signed w/ Clemson earlier this year. He apparently broke CJ Spiller's state-record in the 200 m dash... tremendous talent.

    Since you know much about them, please educate me on Clemson, especially Tajh Boyd. This guy looks like a big-time stud.

    Does Clemson have the o-line to support these stud skill players? What about their defense? Are they the favorites in the ACC?

    Boyd was highly touted out of HS (offers from coast 2 coast, including Ohio State). He's a RS sophomore & this is his first year starting... Clemson hired former Lake Travis HC and Gus Malzhan protege Chad Morris to run the offense, which should highlight Boyd's skillset.

    The o-line is experienced, but relatively weak. They were exposed against Troy and Wofford in the first 2 games. FL State's definitely the favorite in the ACC, followed by VA Tech, but Clemson not far behind. They've owned FL State over the last 8 years, especially at home (where they play them next week).

    I dont know what Auburn is doing. Dyer does nothing but get positive yards, he'll burn off a 30 yard run then not see the field for 5 plays and the backs that replace him get 0 or negative yardage. Their defense looks like the Texans defense last year, holes everywhere, zero pressure, and nothing but missed tackles.

    Texas looking good so far. Aside from that one fumble on the punt return by Jaxson Shipley, they've played nearly perfect on both sides of the ball.

    You need to find a better measuring stick than UCLA -- they suck.

    yeah but just look at the difference in UT with an actual QB playing.

    Mack Brown FINALLY figured it out.

    It's not all them sucking.... They have a lot to do with it but so does Texas playing well on offense. You can't take away what Texas has done on offense by saying that UCLA just completely sucks.

    I knew UCLA's lack of speed was a liability, but damn.

    Did anybody see the Washington kickoff return that turned into a recovery by Nebraska on the 1 yd line?

    I'm guessing nobody is watching the TTU and NM. But did somebody die by a lighting strike last year?

    I dont recall ever seeing this many weather delays in all of my years of watching the game and the weather looks pretty nice! Not one drop of rain! Sunny for the most part. I've seen major league baseball games played in much much much worse weather..This is beyond pathetic...

    Notre Dame finally doesn't beat themselves and destroys Michigan State. Should be 3-0 right now.. hopefully they don't lose another.

    RG III has more touchdowns than incomplete passes. 8 to 7 :)
