Jan. 2 - 4 College Football Bowl Games Discussion

[stitchface]

It may have been mentioned already but I would have to consider Troy Smith a Heismann front runner next year over Brady Quinn and though OSU is losing alot on defense they probably have a better offense returning next year with a head coach that is more proven. So for the ND fans that already have ND in the championship game next year that would be OSU and LSU already on my list of teams that will probably be better than ND next season.

 

that was the first time I've seen notre dame and I was not impressed.

Georgia is going to try to comeback. It will be interesting to see if they can.

A 2 possession game by the half would make it very interesting

[Chris]

31-21, this one just got fun

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Don't count the Bulldogs out yet.

[Chris]

600+ yards in the first half

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This game is getting pretty excited.

 

Reminds me of the Independence Bowl.

not exactly a defensive slugfest.

ND's defense has a looong way to go before they even think of talking about that.

[cubweiser03]

For fans of Big Tens teams.....

Santonio Holmes is going pro.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Notre Dame has a long way to go before I'd pencil them into the championship game next season.

[Chris]

Another big turnover

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And Georgia's defense steps it up.

 

It's up to their offense to make some plays now.

They won't be in it next year, and no reasonable fan really feels that way (sorry NDistops). They have recruited some great defenders (2 of the top 13 CBs), but there is no telling how they will turn out. All year long their achilles heel has been their secondary, and OSU exposed that tonight, something I am suprised has not happened as often this year. If, and it is a big if, the recruits can live up to their potential, and the offense stays as productive as it was this year, which should happen, ND will be a top 5 team next year. However they WILL NOT be playing for a championship until at least 2007, when their schedule softens up a bit, and that is being very generous. Next years schedule will be brutal, as of now. I'm sure not every team will turn out as tough, but they will probably lose 1-3 games next year.

Shockley makes a big play. Georgia is driving.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Touchdown Georgia...this is about to be a 3 point game.

 

OML!

[Mark_R]

Tremendous game today. The Irish got taken to school and made to look like fools on D though. Entertaining game, but just showed how far they have to go to beat that kind of ridiculous offense.

 

I'm shocked Tressel grew half a brain and realized how good Teddy Ginn is.

 

Awesome performance by THE Number Seven.

[Chris]

Mountaineers pinned deep

[Chris]

Nothing like a sideline report as the guy breaks a 50+ TD run

[cubweiser03]

This Slaton dude is really good.

[shnsajax]

This Slaton dude is really good.

 

He might need to be added to that Heisman list next season as WV could be very good. Also Vince Young should be atop that list.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Big pass interference call coming up.

[Chris]

ha ha, interfere with that, 38-35 Mountaineers

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This game is fun!

[cubweiser03]

Shouldnt that have been 15 yard penalty for diving in the end zone? The defender wasnt close.
