I'm not sure what to think of a LSU team that doesn't run the ball 3 times in a row and then punt every single possession. They were somewhat fun to watch against Auburn.

The SEC is the best this year then it's been for a long while imo.
PI is PI and it was clearly a foul on Auburn. And yeah, I don't see LSU being a consistent challenger to Georgia or Alabama as long as Orgeron is there.

This team is underperforming. It's good their winning so they won't plummet in the rankings, but still, how do you not blow out Balls State? And what the hell is a Ball State? There's no state called Ball.
Ball State actually played pretty well against Notre Dame. Not sure if it was a scheme issue or what, but they looked good. They didn't look as good yesterday, but that could have been a letdown.

Notre Dame has done the same thing in all three games. They get off to a fast start, move the ball really well on offense and then hold on the rest of the game for the win. I'm not sure if they just get more conservative in their play calling or if they let down a little or what, but I wouldn't mind seeing them put their foot on an opponent's throat soon. Because I seriously doubt they will get off to a fast start against Stanford.
