Totally agree, I thought they had a last gasp with momentum at that point...not going for 2 is where they lost it. On one hand I really wanted Colorado State to win but on the other I'm glad Colorado won because that's building the hype machine for next Saturday.
Amazing Colorado State was even in it with all of their penalties

Re: Week 3 Action
Can't believe CU pulled that one out. Just shows you can't commit double digit penalties in close games often and get the win.

Re: Week 3 Action
Norvell coached like a coward at the end, and gave the game away.
1) Should have gone for it on 4th and 2 on last possession in 4th. Don’t give the ball back. You’re the underdog on the road, had been picking up yards regularly. Don’t leave it in their hands.
2). Played soft cover 2 defense the entire final drive in the 4th, letting Colorado march down the field.
3). After Colorado made the dumb decision to take the ball first in OT, didn’t go for 2 and the win in the first OT.
Wasn’t convinced until I watched this game. Definitely now believe Ducks should win comfortably. Good chance Hunter is out too. Can’t imagine he suits up next week if he was hurting badly enough to go to the hospital.

Re: Week 3 Action
It's going to be a rough year for Dilly at ASU as he may have to start his 4th string QB in their next game.
Looks like Travis Hunter will miss a few weeks with whatever injury he suffered against CSU.

Re: Week 3 Action
What a shame that the player on CSU took such a cheap shot and now Hunter won't be playing next week. Like when that guy hit Justin at the goal line, or when an ex-teammate took out Vernon Adams. It feels like nothing but a penalty ever happens to these guys, but they should get worse than LaGarrette got. Really sad.

Re: Week 3 Action
The ACC might secretly be the strongest they've been in a while this year. The conference went (edit) 3-1 against the Big Ten in week three (UNC over Minnesota, 'Cuse over Purdue, and Louisville over Indiana but VaTech losing to Rutgers). They're 4-1 against the Southeastern Conference with wins over LSU, A&M, Vandy and South Carolina.
Playoff picture: FSU
Not out of the playoff picture: North Carolina, Miami, Syracuse, Duke
Decent teams: Louisville, NC State, Clemson
Food: The other 5 schools
It's the first year in a while where 1 team (Clemson recently, Jameis-led FSU before that) isn't going to just steamroll the rest of the conference with little to no resistance. Home/away schedules could determine the winner of the conference because there's some actual parity for once.
