“Remember, men, no matter what they do, don't talk.”
“What if they torture us?”
“Just don't talk!”
“Can we scream a little?”
EDIT.
I'm going to add another quote, because the one above doesn't tell you enough about the movie.
Try this...it should give it away.
"How did the war go?"
"Well, Your Grace, we're home. Actually, there's been a slight change of plan. I know it will come as a surprise, a pleasant one, I hope, but we sort of won."
"You sort of *what*?"
TAKE NOTE OF THE FRIDAY GAMES AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
WEEK 5
FRIDAY 29SEP
#14 (2-0) MIAMI HURRICANES -6.5 AT DUKE (4-0)
BATTLE OF THE UNBEATENS ALERT!
MIAMI COMES TO THIS GAME RANKED #14, HAVING BEATEN BETHUNE-COOK AND TOLEDO TO ATTAIN THAT RANK. I’M NOT SAYIN’…I’M JUST SAYIN’. MEANWHILE DUKE HAS SURPRISED SOME, (ME) CRANKING OUT 4 WINS INCLUDING PRETTY SOLID WINS OVER NORTHWESTERN AND NORTH CAROLINA.
THE POINTS TELL ME THAT THE WISE GUYS ARE WARY OF THE CANES’ LEGITIMACY.
DUKE
#5 (4-0) USC -3.5 AT #16 WASHINGTON STATE (4-0)
BATTLE OF THE UNBEATENS ALERT!
USC COMES OFF A GAME WHERE SAM DARNOLD DIDN’T LOOK SHARP, BUT A GAME WHERE THE D TOOK OVER LATE TO DELIVER THE WIN. WAZZU IS UNDEFEATED AND HAS SCORED PROLIFICALLY, BUT HASN’T PLAYED A TEAM OF USC’S CALIBER YET. LIKE A LOT OF MIKE LEACH TEAMS, THIS ONE SCORES, AVERAGING 48 POINTS IN THE LAST 3 GAMES, ALBEIT AGAINST SOME SUSPECT TEAMS.
LOGISTICALLY, USC TRAVELS TO PULLMAN, IN THE HEART OF THE PALOUSE, NOT AN EASY PLACE TO GET TO, (A TWO HOUR BUS RIDE FROM THE NEAREST AIRPORT) TO PLAY A NIGHT GAME ON A SHORT WEEK, SO THERE’S THAT. I SEE THIS GAME AS A WILD ONE.
USC
SATURDAY 30SEP
NOON-ET, 9AM PT
(2-1) NORTHWESTERN +14.5 AT #10 WISCONSIN (3-0)
WISCONSIN…REMEMBER THEM? THEY WENT OUT TO UTAH AND SQUASHED BYU 40-6 AND THEN TOOK A WEEK OFF.
THEY ARE BACK, ARE 3-0, WINNING BY A COMBINED 120-30 AND PLAY A NORTHWESTERN TEAM THAT IS ALSO COMING OFF A BYE WEEK AFTER STARTING THE SEASON 2-1. NORTHWESTERN’S LOSS TO DUKE DOESN’T LOOK AS BAD NOW AS IT DID THEN, AS DUKE IS UNDEFEATED AT 4-0. BUT DUKE ISN’T IN THE LEAGUE OF WISCONSIN, AND AT MADISON?
WISCONSIN
(3-1) VANDERBILT +10 AT #21 FLORIDA (2-1)
VANDY UNDEFEATED AND THINKING MORE OF THEMSELVES THAN ANY TEAM FROM VANDERBILT OUGHT TO, TUGGED ON SUPERMAN’S CAPE LAST WEEK, AND PAID THE PRICE FOR IT.
FLORIDA, MEANWHILE, TURNED WATER INTO WINE AND RAISED THE DEAD IN YET ANOTHER WIN SNATCHED FROM THE LOVING ARMS OF DEFEAT, BEATING KENTUCKY. WITH 10 POINTS TO PLAY WITH, THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT FOR THE GATORS.
VANDY
3:30 ET, 12:30-PT
(2-1) INDIANA +17 AT #4 PENN STATE (4-0)
INDIANA TRAVELS TO PENN ST TO PLAY THE UNDEFEATED NITTANY LIONS WHO PERHAPS HAVE HAD SOME CONFIDENCE SHAKEN IN IOWA LAST WEEKEND, PULLING OUT A WIN THEY EASILY COULD HAVE LOST.
INDIANA BOUNCED BACK FROM THEIR OPENING SEASON LOSS TO THE BUCKEYES TO BEAT…WELL, NO ONE IN PARTICULAR, (VIRGINIA AND GEOR.SOUTHERN). THE HOOSIERS GET OODLES OF POINTS, BUT NOT ENOUGH.
PENN ST.
#7 (4-0) GEORGIA -7.5 AT TENNESSEE (3-1)
GEORGIA PLAYED A VERY IMPRESSIVE GAME THAT SHOWED THEY ARE EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THEIR RANKING IN CONVINCINGLY POUNDING MISS. ST LAST WEEK, WHILE TENNESSEE COULD PUT UP JUST 319 TOTAL YARDS AND 17 POINTS AGAINST THE ONLY TEAM WITH 5 LOSSES IN ALL OF FBS SO FAR THIS SEASON, MASSACHUSETTS.
GEORGIA
(0-2) FLORIDA STATE -7.5 AT WAKE FOREST (4-0)
FLORIDA STATE TRAVELS TO WAKE FOREST TO PLAY A GAME NOBODY PROBABLY HAD CIRCLED ON THEIR OFF-SEASON CALENDARS.
BUT THAT WAS THEN. FSU IS 0-2, LOSING TO NCSTATE AND SHOWING FB FANS WHAT AN INEXPERIENCED FRESHMAN QB MAKING HIS FIRST START LOOKS LIKE.
WAKE F. OTOH, WHILE THEY HAVEN’T BEATEN ANYONE WITH A NOTICEABLE PULSE, AND SQUEAKED BY APPY ST. LAST WEEK 20-19, ARE UNDEFEATED AT 4-0.
WITH THE FSU’S QB'S FIRST GAME UNDER HIS BELT, I THINK FSU HAS THE TALENT TO TAKE THIS ONE OVER.
FLORIDA STATE
4:00-ET, 1:00P-PT
(2-2) ARIZONA STATE +16 AT STANFORD (2-2)
ARIZONA STATE DIDN’T LOOK LIKE MUCH OUT OF THE GATE, LOSING TO SAN DIEGO ST AND TEXAS TECH, BUT THEY BEAT OREGON LAST WEEK AT HOME, LEADING 31-14 AT ONE POINT AND THEN KICKING A LATE 4TH QTR FG TO PUT IT AWAY AFTER THE DUCKS MADE A GAME OF IT.
STANFORD BOUNCED BACK FROM LOSSES TO THE SAME SAN DIEGO STATE AND TO USC BY BEATING DEFENSELESS, (LITERALLY) UCLA AT HOME.
LAY THE POINTS.
STANFORD.
(3-1) IOWA +3.5 AT MICHIGAN STATE (2-1)
IOWA TRAVELS TO MICH. ST., COMING OFF A LOSS TO #4 PENN STATE, AT GAME THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE WON.
MICHIGAN STATE COMES OFF A LOSS TO NOTRE DAME IN A SLOPPY PERFORMANCE IN WHICH THEY GAVE AWAY 3 COSTLY 1ST HALF TURNOVERS INCLUDING A PICK6 AND A FUMBLE AT THE GOAL LINE TO FALL BEHIND 21-7. THEY ALSO HAD 9 PENALTIES FOR 97 YARDS.
TOUGH CALL. BOTH TEAMS NEED THE WIN. I’LL TAKE THE HOME TEAM.
MICHIGAN STATE
6:00-ET, 3:00P-PT
#24 (3-1) MISSISSIPPI STATE +9.5 AT #13 AUBURN
MISSISSIPPI STATE GOT SPANKED BY GEORGIA LAST WEEK, AND THEY ARE ON THE ROAD FOR THE 2ND WEEK IN A ROW AGAINST A RANKED TEAM. WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS MSU’S STRENGTH, THEIR OFFENSE, TOTALLED JUST 280 TOTAL YARDS AGAINST THE DAWGS AND THEY DIDN’T HAVE A SINGLE IMPRESSIVE DRIVE ALL DAY.
AUBURN HAS ALLOWED JUST 35 POINTS IN 4 GAMES SO FAR THIS SEASON INCLUDING JUST 14 POINTS TO CLEMSON, SO MSU’S OFFENSE HAS ITS WORK CUT OUT FOR IT.
AUBURN’S OFFENSE, MEANWHILE, WAS SUSPECT, BUT THEN PUT UP 51 AGAINST MIZZOU LAST WEEK…BUT THEN, IT MIGHT BE FAIR TO ASK, “WHO DOESN’T?”
IMO, AUBURN’S D IS TOO MUCH FOR MSU
AUBURN.
7:30P-ET, 4:30-PT
(3-1) SOUTH CAROLINA +10 AT TEXAS A&M (3-1)
SOUTH CAROLINA BEAT THE SAME NCSTATE TEAM THAT JUST ROCKED FLORIDA ST., THEN LOST TO KENTUCKY AND NEEDED TO COME FROM 2 SCORES BEHIND TO BEAT LA TECH LAST WEEK, TRAILING 13-0 AT THE START OF THE 4TH QUARTER. TEXAS A&M, MEANWHILE, LOST A WILD ONE TO UCLA TO START THE YEAR AND GAVE UP 43 TO ARKANSAS LAST WEEK AND STILL WON THE GAME. TX A&M HAS NO D, BUT THAT MIGHT BE OKAY BECAUSE CAROLINA HASN’T SHOWN THEY HAVE AN OFFENSE TO WORRY MUCH ABOUT.
TEXAS A&M
NORTHERN ILLINOIS (2-1) +12.5 AT #19 SAN DIEGO STATE (4-0)
THE MOST INTERESTING NON-P5 MATCHUP OF THE DAY. SAN DIEGO STATE IS UNDEFEATED AND LOOKING LIKE A GIANT KILLER, BEATING 2 P5 TEAMS ALREADY, WHILE NORTHERN ILLINOIS JUST BEAT A P5 TEAM OF THEIR OWN IN THE STUNNING WIN OVER NEBRASKA IN LINCOLN.
N.ILL. COMES OFF A BYE WEEK, WHILE SDST COMES OFF A TOUGH WIN AGAINST A STUBBORN AIR FORCE TEAM AND NEEDED AN INTERCEPTION WITH 1:30 LEFT IN THE GAME, WITH AIR FORCE DRIVING IN SDST TERRITORY, TO PUT IT AWAY.
I LIKE SDSt, BUT I DON’T KNOW IF I LIKE THEM 12+ POINTS MORE THAN NI, BUT AGAIN, WHEN IN DOUBT, TAKE THE HOME TEAM.
SAN DIEGO STATE
8:00P-ET, 5:00P-PT
#2 (4-0) CLEMSON -7 AT #12 VIRGINIA TECH (4-0)
BATTLE OF THE UNDEFEATEDS ALERT!
CLEMSON TRAVELS TO BLACKSBURG TO PLAY AN UNDEFEATED AND 12TH RANKED VIRGINIA TECH TEAM THAT, FRANKLY, IS A LITTLE SUSPECT. THEIR BEST WIN IS A 31-24 WIN OVER VIRGINIA TO START THE YEAR AND THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING DOORMATS EVER SINCE.
CLEMSON MEANWHILE, HAS DISPATCHED TWO RANKED TEAMS IN 4 GAMES.
I THINK CLEMSON WILL ROUT VTECH.
CLEMSON
#11 (3-1) OKLAHOMA STATE -8.5 AT TEXAS TECH (3-0)
OKST TRAVELS TO TEXAS TECH, LICKING THE WOUNDS INFLICTED IN THEIR SEASON BY TCU LAST WEEK. TEXAS TECH, WHILE NOBODY WAS LOOKING, IS UNDEFEATED AND HAS TWO LEGIT WINS OVER AZ ST. AND HOUSTON.
TTECH GETS 11 AT HOME. I’LL TAKE IT.
TEXAS TECH
10:30-ET, 7:30P-PT
(3-1) CAL +13.5 AT OREGON (3-1)
CAL COULDN’T HANG WITH USC LAST WEEK, WEARING DOWN LATE, WHILE OREGON GOT DOWN EARLY TO AZ STATE, CAME ROARING BACK WITH 3 TDS TO GET CLOSE, AND THEN LOST ON A LATE SUN-DEVIL FIELD GOAL.
BOTH DEFENSES ARE A LITTLE SUSPECT, OU AND CAL YIELDING 106 AND 96 POINTS, RESPECTIVELY, IN THEIR FIRST 4 GAMES EACH, THOUGH CAL STATISTICALLY SHOULD BE GIVEN THE EDGE GIVEN WHO THEY HAVE PLAYED, WHILE OREGON HAS VIRTUALLY NOT STOPPED ANYONE THAT YOU’VE EVER HEARD OF.
CAL GETS A LOT OF POINTS, BUT PLAYING AT OREGON, AT NIGHT, IS A TOUGH ATMOSPHERE AND CAL’S O IS YOUNG.
OREGON.
