And Urban Meyer is your Rinaldi feature of the week
Hooray.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Why are we spending this much time on Florida State?
They’re playing SAMFORD!
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Florida avoids special teams disaster
Not that it would have mattered all that much
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I was wondering about that, but it looked pretty clean to me
Wish I could have seen a replay
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
We'll see if the interception turns things around for Florida
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
What is going on in Gainesville?

Meltdown
No one home, Tebow’s gone, etc.
Shades of 2007 Vanderbilt, but I think Florida is better enough to avoid that fate.
I think …
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
If Florida were playing any team other than Miami (OH)
They would be losing by at least 10 right now
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I have no doubt that Florida will get it turned around today...
but right now, they look like this year’s OM.
Yeah,
I’m not going to buy into the upset until Miami is leading after 3Q.

Michigan State also has a real game against W Mich
BIG TEN+2 IS BACK THIS YEAR!!! WOO-H00!!
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
It is SEC related,
because the Youngstown State HC is from South Carolina offensive line coach Eric Wolford.

Win or lose, Florida should be concerned about the offense
Unless the Gators have a much better game starting now.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
UGA now leads 14-0
Tallahassee CBS affiliate is stupid, so I’m having to keep up without television. Thus the lag.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Urban on Tebow, Brantley
When you cut them open, they’re the same people.
Man, they do have a unique way of preparing quarterbacks in Gainesville.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Actual ACC vs I-aa spreads
Virginia -3.5 vs RIchmond
Duke -7.5 vs Elon
I couldn’t feel good about taking either ACC team. That makes me smile.

FSU fans on Twitter are very amusing right now
Apparently, annihilating Samford is a sign that the dynasty has been restored.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Miami (OH) fourth down in inside the Florida 15
FAKE PUNT TIME!!!
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
How can you go for the fake punt on your own 21 (down only 4), but then settle for the figgie there? I you wanna kill the king, you gotta go all in.
I'm beginning to think Miami (OH) is making decisions with a spinning wheel
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Cold feet, maybe – the coaches are suddenly thinking “hey, maybe we really do have a chance”, and suddenly start play-calling as if they’re in a game with an equivalent opponent. And hell, the way UF has been playing on offence, maybe they’re right. But I’m guessing that when everyone and their great-aunt Matilda said “UF has a lot more talent and depth”, everyone was right. Which means that Miami isn’t playing an equivalent opponent, and it has to keep taking (intelligent) risks if it wants a chance to win.
Q: You’ve got 14 net yards — what needs to change on offense
Meyer: 14 net yards — I’d say everything.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Mark May: I’d say the key is, poor execution on offense.
HE GETS PAID FOR THIS!!!
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I POOPED MY PANTS! I POOPED MY PANTS!
Georgia is obliterating those Cajuns! That quarterback is unreal, and their defense is doing better than ours did. We’re gonna get smashed next week!! We’re all doomed!
stuff 'bout stuff.
ULL makes Georgia defense look like ... well, Georgia defense
Wide open TD pass, XP pending
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
A ULL defender shows why he's a "former" wide receiver
Easy, easy, easy interception in the end zone just dropped
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
This might be the worst football game I’ve ever seen by a team leading by two touchdowns
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I guess this is why they closed practice.
I’m sure Pouncey was great all through fall practice. Totally. Surely this didn’t show up before now.
So happy Urban has faith in Addazio. This sputtering wreck of an offense can’t have anything to do with him. Nope.
Hey look!
A running back who doesn’t fumble, and actually tries to run upfield!
Maybe we could use him on offense? Nah, let’s just do another bubble screen.
Is it a sign that I've been studying too much
that I read that as “Miami hydroxide”?

I completely assume they'll shore it up before SEC play
But any team in the SEC not named Vanderbilt would have beat Florida today.

Ole Miss is looking good.
Stanley and Masoli both look pretty great at QB, actually. It’s just against Jacksonville State, of course, but 323 yards of offense in the first half isn’t bad.
Dumb, dumb penalty for Kentucky
If they lose this game, that will be one of the main reasons. Clearly roughing.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Go Gamecocks!

oh. my.
30-yard TD pass on 4 and 15 for JSU.
This is amazing even for Tyrone Nix

GAMECOCKS WIN!

Big upset
Not quite as grand as App State over Michigan, when you count national ranking.
Still quite grand nonetheless.
Giggity
Alabama should officially be on the death watch now b/c everybody knows that Giggity Ball means one powerhouse must go down after an inexplicable loss.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Thank you, Rebels
I’m still trying to go through all the “S-E-C!” tweets in TweetDeck. Sheesh
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I think the haters are justified
Florida struggled with a MAC team that won only one game last year, Ole Miss lost to a FCS team, and Auburn is down to Arkansas State.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
To an extent
But the Big XII, Big Ten and ACC all have losses to the FCS. So …
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Scoreboard
Alabama 21, San Jose State 3 — Early 2Q
Auburn 14, Arkansas State 6 — Late 1Q
Arkansas 6, Tennessee Tech 3 — Early 2Q
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Everything going as planned after the Ole Miss upset
Only Vanderbilt is currently losing
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
"White's first carry, and it's a good one ... FUMBLE"
That, Brent, is why you wait until the end of the play to say something like that
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Arkansas now has 23 points in the second quarter
Starting to look like the team we expected
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Even Gary Crowton will score points if you keep giving him the ball
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
LSU just needs a field goal here to put it out of reach
Cuz’ we all know this UNC offense ain’t scoring twice.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Yeah
That whole fumbling at will thing isn’t really helping their chances to put a dent in the scoreboard.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Northwestern 10, Vanderbilt 6 -- 2:19 2Q
Vanderbilt TD. Everyone else is on schedule
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Is LSU full of idiots?
They hit him at least a yard out of bounds. Stupid.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
And head-to-head
It’s like they were going for bonus points
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Tennessee now at 50 points in first game over Dooley
Probably more than they’ll score in their first three SEC games combined
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
UT- Martin, Florida, Georgia, Alabama
Which of these is not like the others?
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
I think they assumed that if it looked like UNC turnover, it probably was
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
They're in prevent defense
Which is actually a perfectly reasonable decision now that UNC has scored once
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
North Carolina 10, LSU 7 -- 8:24 2Q
Okay, I can handle a loss to an FCS team, but not one to the ACC
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
LSU 16, North Carolina 10 -- 7:14 2Q
North Carolina being North Carolina
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I can't tell if their offense is really helping the cause at this point?
Have they done anything to really help this team win?
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Oklahoma leading 28-17
Against UTAH STATE. BIG XII SOUTH CHAMPIONS
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
How did they not review that fumble?
Looked close enough to warrant a review.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
UNC offense needs a new slogan
“Do this if you don’t like winning”.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
How many spots does LSU rise in the rankings for beating UNC's JV squad?
They don’t deserve to rise in the rankings, but we all know they will.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Don't know
Anyone else it would be one or two places. But because it’s “LSU” …
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
And they're playing to not get embarassed
Looks awfully similar to what Southern Miss did onThursday.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Well, you could go with the Miami (OH) strategy
IT’S FOURTH DOWN TIME FOR FAKE PUNT
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Doesn't anybody realize these hard counts on 4th down don't work unless your QB is David Green?
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
EA: “Your defense figured something out, what was it?”
Stop making personal foul penalties
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Tennessee all win big
Auburn on the way there. Vanderbilt down 17-15, End 3Q
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Northwestern 23, Vanderbilt 15 -- 4:37 4Q
Wildcats had a chance to win the game with the extra point. FAIL
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
And a bad snap on the two-point conversion attempt
Vanderbilt
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
North Carolina "recovers" the on-sides kick
We have an Oregon-Oklahoma brewing here
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Specifically ... there is controversy about the play
No doubt who recovered it, just whether it was a legal play or not
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Dude got hit before he touched the ball.
I didn’t think that was allowed – even if he moves forward to make the reception.

Are you freaking kidding me, LSU???
I’m starting to believe they don’t want to win this game.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Wow
What a catch. I don’t think they have enough time though. Yates is not inspiring in his ability to run the hurry up offense.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
That just isn't going to fly
LSU totally came off the gas in that game. They were lucky not to end up looking like Ole Miss.
If that was almost any other opponent for LSU
I would’ve been actively rooting for a last second TD. I have never seen a team try to kill clock for an entire half like that. I hate teams and coaches like that. Les Miles is an idiot.
