Talking about the fumble call?

 

It was the right call.

[Vanilla Ice]

As a USC fan, I'm going to need ND and Virginia to keep it up and help out our computer rankings.

 

I can't believe UVA is in the mix for the ACC title. They looked Washington State level awful the first few weeks of the season.

 

Just goes to show you how bad the ACC is.

 

Dukie did beat Vandy!

and UVA!

 

its not impossible for Duke to be bowl-eligible. They are 4-3 with an OK schedule left. @ Wake, vs. NC State, at Clemson, at Virginia Tech, vs. UNC. I think they'll beat State, and they can sneak one of the other games out.

 

When was Duke's last bowl game? Spurrier's regime?

yea

Vs Wisconsin in the outback bowl in the mid 90's?

Yards Per Offensive Play

6.9 Penn State

6.8 Oklahoma

6.8 Texas

6.6 Florida

6.6 Georgia

 

And UF, UGA, PSU and other teams as good on offense have played better defenses - yet still move the ball as well. Throw in UF's fabulous return game and they're probably the best offense in the nation again. It is either them or USC.

I miss Cutcliffe.

i have a bad feeling that I will be missing him in a few years, too.

[dew1679666265]

Offense does something positive, we get a penalty. Almost every time. :banghead:

Don't start this crap, the refs miss call after call after call against Tennessee (two PI and an OFFSIDES) in the first half. IMO this is the refs evening up the score.

While it wouldn't shock me, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if he stayed for good. He's not a young up and comer and while at Tennessee he talked about how he would only leave for a job in the southeast that he felt was a good spot.

 

Don't want to get your hopes up too much, but he might just stay until he retires - or ya'll kick him out. :wink:

[Warpticon]

Holy crap, did Casey Dick just lead a 4 play, 37 second touchdown drive to bring the game within 2 with 1:07 left?

 

Also, DJ Williams is really, really good. He fell 2 spots to #18 in Rivals's power rankings after going catchless in last week's game, but I suspect he'll be jumping back up after tonight. 10 for 129 and a TD.

 

ARKANSAS RECOVERED THE ONSIDE KICK!!! A minute left to win the game.

 

Dick has been tremendous in the second half. He's now 21-36 for 285 with 2 TDs and a pick.

 

And how do you commit a 15 yard penalty in this situation? Amazing. And there's four straight incompletions from Dick. So much for the above. Oh well. I can't be too mad, since I didn't expect them to get to this point.

It was a good call on the fumble.

 

We haven't gotten a lot of breaks either, though. The PI at the end of the half was assinine.

it's the sec, we're supposed to make jokes about paying the refs/players

 

that's an encouraging sign, one of the OL asking clark how many fingers he's holding up.

If Cutcliffe makes it to a bowl this year, he won't be fired for 10 or so years

[shnsajax]

and to elaborate florida's offense has performed every bit as well as OU's and UTs without even adjusting for defenses played (ditto for PSU too)

 

If Texas makes the NC, I am pulling for Bama or Penn State to run the table. I have no desire to play Florida. Easily the best 1-loss team in the country right now.

Good point. :D

I'd have to shoot myself if the title game was florida and texas. that being said, if osu can pull off tonights game, then TTU, UT, UF, Bama and UGA are probably the only teams in the country who control their own destiny in respect to getting to the title game.

[dew1679666265]

This one has gotten out of hand.

[Mephistopheles]

WIDE!

[Warpticon]

Oh, by the way, Smith went over 900 yards on the season in 7 games played tonight.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah that's why we never win in the shoe... they don't make mistakes in the kicking game, we do.

Ok lets be real, im pretty sure you are not going to SHOOT yourself. :D

Well they have both won it in very recent years. Both could have Heisman trophy winners playing against each other at the QB position. Plus we have the constant argument of high school football about Texas vs. Florida recruits.

 

I would just have fun with it. However if your on 6th street the night of the game I would make sure to be wearing your Texas clothes :-).
