College Football - Week of Oct. 10th

Not good enough a passer for the NFL = you're only as good at passing as Ronnie Brown.

 

lol @ he runs the Wildcat every play

 

I have yet to see him take a snap from under center or any snap where there is not some form of play action. That is basically the wildcat offense

 

It's also the spread option offense. Michigan runs it, as does Florida, Oregon and numerous other teams. The Wildcat is simply a variation of the spread option.

throw the ball on third down, the michigan secondary is atrocious.

[SpongeWorthy]

Michigan will have a shot here.

[hotshot13422]

go michigan

[E.J.]

Jesus. Going with Robinson again. This is a horrible decision by Rich Rod.

[SpongeWorthy]

Hmm...no Forcier?

[TruffleShuffle]

Michigan will have a shot here.

 

i really didn't like running into the pile there. michigan has time to get into field goal position with a stop there, whereas passing for it on third and manageable (5 yards) ends the game with a first down.

[hotshot13422]

is tate that bad that they're going to sit him? what happened to him?

[Butterscup1679666578]

so why wasnt forcier in?

[E.J.]

Nice work Rich Rod. Nice [expletive] decision.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think it's physically impossible to throw a worse pass than that.

[hotshot13422]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that looked like a tebow throw. He should've left tate in there

[Butterscup1679666578]

WAIT DID THE #12 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY JUST STORM THE FIELD AFTER BEATING AN UNRANKED TEAM

[hotshot13422]

Iowa, you know you are ranked #12, right?

 

That's embarrassing, act like you've been there before. I know you're excited, but come on.

[Smack]

Rushing the field after beating an un-ranked opponent at home?

[dew1679666265]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that looked like a tebow throw. He should've left tate in there

 

Just throwing it out there:

 

Tebow career completion %: 64.7

 

Career TD:INT ratio: 73:12

[TruffleShuffle]

good work, iowa fans.

[SpongeWorthy]

When's the Iowa/OSU game?

[dew1679666265]

When's the Iowa/OSU game?

 

Nov. 14 in Columbus.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think iowa loses at madison next week, and ohio st loses here (penn st) the week before the iowa game.

[Andy]

I'm pretty sure I agree, only because the Big Ten looks like a giant cluster-eff of four or five decent but not great teams at the top so it'd be only fitting that it be decided like that.

[E.J.]

Michigan lost that game themselves after having 5 turnovers. I can't believe Iowa stormed the field. Ridiculous.

[Uber]

Yea, rushing the field was dumb. Not as catastrophic as everyone here is making it out to be, considering the Michigan-hate in Iowa I can partly understand it. We played like [expletive], luckily Michigan was worse.

[Grit amp Heart]

He's adequate, but when you spend your career throwing passes to Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy, Andre Caldwell and Cornelius Ingram it's not hard to be that productive. I think a large part of his success is his ability to run the football and defenses in college have to respect that. I think he's a good enough athlete to make NFL defenses respect that and make his arm play better than it really is. I just don't think he'll survive long enough to be a starter. His best shot is at someone who likes the Wildcat, and may see's 10-15 snaps a game as a true wildcat type QB. You give him more snaps than that he'll probably be split in two and we'll be picking pieces of him up. He's too slow with his delivery and doesn't NFL route reads quick enough to last against NFL pass rushes as a pocket passer.

i'll stick with my prediction of ohio st winning the big ten. i think they lose once (to penn st), iowa loses at madison and at columbus, we lose at michigan or michigan st, michigan already has two losses, and there's no way that michigan st, northwestern and minnesota win out in the big ten. one team to keep an eye on is wisconsin, because the road games they have left in conference are against bad teams (indiana, northwestern) and their home games are iowa, purdue and michigan. i don't think wisconsin will win out but it's conceivable with that schedule.
