Miami's fan base seems enthusiastic

That's really sad. I'd be embarrased to be a Miami fan after seeing that. Auburn could be winless and still fill a stadium to the brim. Seems like the U has a fair-weather fanbase.

What's even more said is the fans were there...they just stayed in the parking lot and tailgated. Pathetic.

That gamey Louisiana Monroe team that took Arkansas and Auburn to OT is hosting Baylor this week.

OU comes off a bye to face K-State. We should learn a ton about both teams in that match-up with conference title implications... Then OU gets their final off week before beginning 9 straight weeks of conference play (and Notre Dame Oct 27th). That would make me nervous if I were a sooner fan...

Maryland looks pretty terrible, so it will be another week before we learn much about WVU (hosting Baylor on Sep 29)

Agreed on the OU game streak. That's a brutal run.

Yes, Maryland is turrible, though this game is their superbowl so they'll be giving 210% effort, like always. If they played everyone like they play us, they wouldn't be too bad. I like that we got a noon slate for the Baylor game(noon on FX, nationwide telecast). Can't wait for that game, the atmosphere is going to be beyond electric!

Baylor will handle them I think. ULM is a good team, but Arkansas is terrible without their starting QB and Auburn is terrible period. We had the game against ULM well in hand and should have ended up ahead by three scores by the end of the third quarter but our team all of a sudden decided to forget how to play, fumbling balls five yards from the endzone and throwing picks to opposing jerseys like we thought they were wearing orange and blue.

All that said, statistics show that we are actually better through the first three games this year than we were last year, with the only uncommon opponent being ULM. I guess not having a decent quarterback has that much of an impact on the team.

If Baylor handles them it will be because of the film on ULM from the first 2 weeks. I won't be surprised by any outcome because I don't think Baylor comes anywhere near matching their 10 win 2011 season... I see 2 or 3 conference, 5-7 or 6-6 overall.

What happened to Trotter?

*edit* After reading about him, it looks like he wasn't the answer either.

Trotter played lights out in our bowl game last year, but he's on record as stating that it was hinted to him by Malzahn that Frazier would be the starter next year, so he decided to leave early instead of sitting his senior year on the bench. Of course, Malzhan left soon after, and Trotter would have fit perfectly in the system we have now.

Moseley is a headcase and doesn't have near the arm that Frazier has, especially since his injury in the offseason, but he does have more experience. His lack of mobility is an issue but our OL play has been amazing over the first three games. Frazier has had all the time in the world to throw the ball but he just doesn't trust himself yet. In the first half against ULM it seemed like the lightbulb finally clicked on for him. You could visibly see his head turn as he went through his progressions and he was making strong, accurate throws. After his INT in the third quarter though everything went downhill.

That pisses me off(that dickhead killed the tree), and warms my heart(that the tree is going out a hero), at the same time.
