Caylin Newton, Cam's little brother, led the Howard Bison (in his first ever start as a true freshman) to a victory over the UNLV Rebels. By point spread (+45), it's the biggest upset in modern history.

I guess it runs in the family.

Caylin Newton stats: 15-26, 140 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT: 21 CAR, 190 YDS, 2 TD

How was UNLV 45 point favorites over any team? 

MEAC teams are generally considered pushovers at the FCS level, nevermind the FBS level (even considering how poor UNLV may be as a FBS program). Add to that Howard having only won 3 games the prior two seasons, and you get a 45 point underdog.

I know but still, UNLV is legit one of the worse teams in the country. Since 2001 they have only one season with a over .500 record. I think Liberty beating Baylor was a bigger upset

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
