Our D is starting to dominate Elon. Nice punt return by Thorpe. Now let's put more points on the board.

What is with the skinny "S" logo tonight. Is that a throwback?
its size is proportional to the attendance.
Or talent level.
OMG, I just saw a wide shot of the homecoming crowd. Pathetic.
This is the most irrelevant home game in the program's history.
The Utah game that drew 15,000 – the Saturday after the '89 Loma Prieta earthquake – was a bigger deal.
Why do you think this post adds value?

The Wonderful Pistachios commercials are pretty funny.
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.

Very happy see Ford get it going
98 yds and 3 TDs is great day
And another qtr to add to it

BYU defense bends but doesn't break--ND down, 21-13, 3:17 left in the third quarter.

Elon's QB is not very good.

I define "relevance" in terms of Stanford fan interest and national interest.
Have you considered that Stanford is hosting a Colonial Athletic Association team on homecoming, before 40,000 empty seats, while holding a .317 winning percentage since 2019? This game is just another indicator of irrelvance, I would argue.

Miami looks like it may avoid the Stanford curse--they thorw it in on 3rd and goal to break a tie, now up 28-21 with 2 minutes left. ACC conference leaders surely glad to see that happen, as it may be a the Big12 that has a banner day if BYU can hold on against ND.
EDIT: I missed it, but apparently FSU scored a tying TD. Also, I was off on the clock--now there really are 2 minutes left, I think.

FSU comes back with a long TD pass to tie it at 28. Barn burner in Florida.

OK, now that we are clearly beating an overmatched Elon team can I again reiterate that we are clearly better than they are? Even at the time that card10 posted, we were winning (7-0), outgaining them, and at the time, the closest they came to scoring was a missed 54 yard field goal (ie, Elon made it to the 39 and was facing 4th and 8). That was not especially threatening.
Now, that doesn't mean we are good, or even mediocre; we are a very bad team (I will leave it to Matt to quantify it in excruciating detail tomorrow). But still, a bad P4 team should easily handle a middle of the road FCS team, so this is what I would expect from playing an overmatched FCS team that is 2-2 in the CAA. Given what teams like Wake Forest, Miami, and Notre Dame have done to us recently, I would say that the gap between top FBS teams and us is greater than the gap between us and Elon University. I don't have any illusions about this team.
But at the same time, let's not hyperbolize and claim that after a couple of bad plays that there is no gap between the two teams (though, boo, we just gave up a touchdown).

Mitchell looking good so far. Champ is a baller too.
