2023-2024 NCAA Football Season

[JEBar]

yesterday evening we watched our first college football game this season .... NC State University traveled to play the UConn Huskies .... both teams scored the first time they had the ball ... after that the Wolfpack eased ahead and went on to take a 24 - 14 victory .... considering that it was the first game for both teams, they both played well

in a second game Wake Forest University played Elon which is not up to the Demon Deacons ACC level .... Wake was in charge from the opening whistle with a final score of 37 - 17

Nebraska v. Minnesota last night was an EXCELLENT game with MN winning via a last second 47yd field goal. --- Neither team will be playoff contender... but it is still exciting to see two evenly matched teams play a very competitive game.

[JEBar]

Louisville woke up and played the last 5 minutes like a team possessed ... they ended up coming from behind to beat Georgia Tech 39 - 34

[JEBar]

Tennessee is taking Virginia apart they are up 35 - 3 late in the 3rd quarter

[JEBar]

for this part of the country today's premier game of the day featuring the University of North Carolina (UNC) vs the University of South Carolina (USC) is just getting underway in Charlotte

They skunked SC!

[JEBar]

They skunked SC!

the 31 - 17 final score really doesn't reflect how competitive the two teams were .... considering it was the first game of the season, both teams did pretty well .... UNC got most of the breaks and their defense played markedly better than they did for the last half last season .... both quarterbacks are fine athletes

[norty]

Didn't see much blocking by the Cocks offense but the new quarterback looked pretty good!

[JEBar]

I expected a close contest last night between Florida State and LSU but the Seminoles pretty well dominated the Tigers by a score of 45 - 24

the big game in our area tonight when the #9 Clemson Tigers travel to Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium .... the odds makers are picking Clemson by 13 points .... I'll be pleasantly surprised if its that close

[norty]

Don't wager on that spread!

[JEBar]

OK, I'd of not picked Duke to be up 3 - 0 at the end of the first quarter

[JEBar]

final score Duke 28 - 7 .... this one will go way up on the biggest wins in Duke history list .... Clemson had their chances but missing 2 field goals and twice being first and goal inside the 5 and not scoring would sink many teams .... glad we got to watch it

[norty]

Duke looked good on offense and came out to play and well schazam, what happened! They did play!
long trip home for the tigers! They only have improvements to work on.

edit: I couldn't watch the whole game but they replayed it on ESPN from 4am to 6am this morning. Oh my!

[JEBar]

Duke scored in all 4 quarters in taking a 28 - 7 victory ..... Clemson on the other hand missed 2 field goals and loss fumbles twice inside the 10 yard line .... the Tigers really suffered first game of the season jitters while Duke made very few serious mistakes

[JEBar]

it took the UNC Tarheels 2 overtimes to defeat Appalachian
