LIVE THOUGHTS WITH WHIT:
I hope you are watching these games, or at this point, I hope you saw this happen. Enjoy!
Illinois was up 27- 3 in the 3rd quarter. It is now 40-35 Illinois with 90 seconds left. 1-4 Purdue fighting like hell and Illinois missing a few key tackles. Purdue with 3 timeouts with the ball at the Illini 40. Are they really going to come all the way back?
Penn St was losing 20-6 at the half to Southern Cal. It is now 30-30 with 2:00 left. USC with 3 timeouts and the ball deep in their own territory.
Two great games on right now!
Touchdown Purdue! 41-40 2 point conversion incoming. 46 seconds left. What a game!! 43-40.
“Illinois is falling apart like a 3 dollar suitcase.”- FS1 Announcer Eric Collins
Big fan of #4 for Southern Cal Woody Marks. Shifty running back with great balance and strong shoulders. 21 touches for 158 so far.
Interception! Penn St picked off USC QB Miller Moss and has the ball at the 50 with 4 seconds left! This is wild. Last second play incoming…
Illinois just converted a 3rd and 17 to get all the way to the Purdue 19. 2 seconds left. Game tying FG attempt incoming…
Commercials…screaming, medicine, insurance, and politics…hold on while I hurl.
FG good for Illinois, Hail Mary intercepted by USC. Overtime for both! I’m here for it!
Days like this are so much fun. I have zero care towards the result in the Purdue game, but for some reason, I’ve watched the entire second half in one of my quad boxes. Probably because the Longhorns were stampeding the Sooners. One team is Elite and one team needs another Head Coach in that matchup. Texas is real. UGA test is next week.
BYU leading Arizona 34-14 with 3 minutes left. Gus Johnson has been exuberant in his description of the atmosphere inside Lavell Edwards. “No better place.”
OT has begun in both games. Illini with a quick TD and Southern Cal backed up 4th and 13. FG attempt is NO GOOD. Wide LEFT! Penn St has a chance to win in this next possession. The USC kicker had been perfect on the day.
Purdue and Penn St with the ball now. Penn St only needs a FG.
Purdue with a quick TD! 50-49. Going for two for the win…SACKED! Illinois held on to win 50-49. What the hell? What a game.
Penn St lining up for their game winning Field Goal in LA Coliseum. 36 yards down the middle. Penn St 33- Southern Cal 30. Another great game! Nittany Lions are winning all different ways this season. Another W! Undefeated 6-0 and 3-0 in the Big10. James Franklin as he embraced his players in front of the reporter with a hot mic- “fucking awesome…I’m just so proud of him.” I love it. Celebrate for a few minutes coach before they travel to Madison in two weeks. Much deserved bye wee incoming for the squad from Happy Valley. Happy indeed!
The Vols are halfway through the first with the Gators 0-0. Whatcha got Heupel? Gut check time.
Georgia up 34-24 on Miss State with 10 minutes left in the game.
Old Dominion won outright 21-14! Only pick I truly liked today was ODU +1.5.
Pitt held on against Cal 17-15 to continue their unbeaten start to the season.
The hometown Tigers beat South Florida 21-3 in Tampa improving to 5-1, 1-1 AAC
I guess that’s about it right now. Just had to document the insanity in those two games that ended in OT. Basil is in the building. 7 more hours of football still to come! This sport is awesome.
