    OK, if the football all weekend is anything like that Miami vs Ole Miss game, it's going to be a real fun weekend ti be a football fan! And I was rooting against Miami, but that was a great game.

    If that's the appetizer, I can't wait for the entrée

    I love the ESPN 4K telecast. No commercials! They just cut to a high level camera view of the stadium and sweet silence.

    I Loved the game, but I hated that DPI at the end of the game. It doesn't mean Ole Miss would win, but they should have got another play.

    It was blatant, but the pass also needed to be about 2 yards shorter and maybe a shade further inside. Even w/o being pushed away, I’m not that the receiver could have gotten a foot down.

    Yeah I'm not saying it would have been caught, or that they would have won, but I believe that the DPI was so aggressive that You had to throw the flag, and I'm always on the DBs side, but come on. They deserved one more play .

    Moore seems to be shaking it off. That’s good. Don’t want a crummy game.

    Their center who transferred over from Notre Dame is a monster out there.

    What a blowout 28-7 Hoosiers. Mendoza hasn't thrown one errant pass tonight, they might score over 50.

    The poor kid is shell shocked with 3 first half turnovers. On the other hand Mendoza has thrown one incompletion and 3 TD's.

    I don’t feel like he’s been as bad as 3 TOs sounds. One was knocked out by his own Rb, and his pass protection is being crushed

    Mendoza just threw his 4th TD and is up 42-7. Cignetti might want to sit him out the rest of the game and make sure he is 100% for the championship game next week.

    He faced it in the regular season and lost 30-20, and threw 2 picks.
