Friday night MACTION, featuring Baylor and Cincinnati

Baylor is a much better team than Buffalo. We suspected it coming into Friday, and now we have proof in the form of a 63-21 Baylor victory. The Bears raced out to a 35-0 halftime lead and the game was over. Buffalo fought admirably in the second half but, even with Baylor mostly playing its second string, the Bulls were still outscored 28-21 in the final two quarters. Baylor outgained Buffalo 669 to 394, a margin that would seem silly had that Bears not made us so accustomed to it over the past several seasons.

3. We need better Friday night games. Friday night is often a dumping ground for television shows that networks are probably going to cancel or have already canceled. There’s no reason that Friday night football games have to be treated the same way, right? Why not mix things up and have, say, Georgia and Florida play every year on a Friday night? If you schedule good games for Friday night, people will watch.

Shortly after the Bills’ overtime victory over the Bears in Week 1, the University of Buffalo’s football team Twitter posted the following:

And Friday night, well...

In July 2011, five-star Indiana high school quarterback Gunner Kiel committed to the Hoosiers. Five months later, he committed to LSU. About a month later, he ended up at Notre Dame. Somewhere in there, LSU head coach Les Miles publicly critiqued the size of the quarterback’s chest. In April 2013, Kiel wound up at Cincinnati.

He now has 122 yards in his first fully competitive action since high school all-star games two years ago. Because college football is weird, that gives him 11 more than ... Indiana, which has already played one full game this year and threw just 18 times against Indiana State.
