He is on the offensive line and I was really impressed at the speed and control he has on the field. There are times I think he needs to be more aggressive, but when you lose 30 yards due to successive holding penalties, sometimes you play a little more lax. Thankfully, I am not sure any of the holding penalties were on him. Sadly, they fell just short losing the game 16 to 15. It was close though, and if they had just a little more time, I think they could have won the game. They were in the process of moving the ball down the field to score again when time ran out on them. Unsurprisingly to me, the Lions weren't anywhere near as good last night. I'll talk about it more on Tuesday next week, but the 41 to 31 loss by the Lions against the Bills is probably a pretty good indication of how this season is going to go. Looking forward, we have college football tonight and tomorrow, and I am finally looking forward to hopefully catching some of the games. Most of the games are going to be cupcake games, but there are a few games here and there that I would keep an eye on if you are looking for something specific to watch this weekend. Things get started tonight with number 22 Houston taking on number 13 Texas Tech at 8 PM tonight Eastern Standard Time. Tomorrow, the first good games get started at 3:30 PM when number 16 SMU takes on number 23 Louisville. Of course, you can watch the noon games, but I expect they are going to be pretty lopsided. If your favorite team is playing then however, feel free to watch them kick the piss out of the other team. The biggest game for me this weekend will be Michigan State heading into South Bend Indiana to take on number 3 ranked Notre Dame. It's going to be a bad game for the Spartans I think, but I am still holding out hope that they won't be completely embarrassed. Notre Dame has been building towards this number 3 spot for a few years now, so I can't say I am sad to see them doing so well. The rest of the world will probably be more interested in number 7 LSU vs number 8 Mississippi when it comes to the 7:30 PM game however. In fact, I might need to take advantage of the multiview on YouTube TV and have both of them going at the same time. We will see. Other than that, I don't see much to get excited about. Number 12 USC does have a rare early season game against fellow Big Ten member Rutgers, but I think Rutgers has been sucking this year, so that likely isn't going to be much of a game. In fact, most of the Odds on these games have the winning team in double digits. It's just that time of year. Things really don't pick up until conference play starts. ---------- ### [My Sports Account - @bozz.sports](https://www.peakd.com/@bozz.sports) ---------- #### Come hang out in [The Pub](https://peakd.com/c/hive-178138/created) [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/cCEMJXAEXk) Or Check out my [Grilling and Smoking Community on HIVE](https://peakd.com/c/hive-138631/created) ------------- ![TEAMUSAhive_footer_bozz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz/fXpCTKUZ-TEAMUSA-hive_footer_bozz.jpg) ---------------- *All pictures/screenshots taken by myself or @mrsbozz unless otherwise sourced*
