College Football - Week of Oct. 24th

[hawkeyecub]

i should be enjoying the win over nebraska, but they should be effing 7-1 and running away with the north. of course, i guess you could say they shouldn't have won yesterday...though a team that commits 8 turnovers doesn't deserve to win either.

 

Eh, unless you're Iowa you can't win all the close ones. They could be 7-1, but 5-3 is pretty much in line with how they've preformed against their schedule. I think there's a 10-15% chance they get 3 more wins to have a legitimate shot at the North, but just going to a bowl game would be a huge improvement over the last 3 years.

 

I can't believe it. The North is atrocious this year but they're looking pretty salty.

 

I'm just not sure what to make of this Big 12 North stuff. They don't have their last game at home on Thanksgiving weekend to let it slip away at the end.

Alabama's resume is easily better than Florida's. The AP voters did the right thing last week moving Alabama up and the wrong thing this week.

 

Alabama needed THREE blown FG's by a 3-3 team who was starting 2 walkons and a converted TE on the offensive line and a 3rd string OLB who just got moved to the middle 3 weeks ago. They barely survived at home against a team who has lost to UCLA this season.

 

I'd say the voters got it right, and believe me- I hate the Gators.

 

Nitpicking, but I don't think Savion Frazier was a third stringer before Reveiz's injury. Wasn't he Lamarcus Thompson's backup?

I'm not mad at Bama moving down the polls, I'm really not, but the Vols were equally lucky to even put themselves in position to pull off the upset. Ingram fumbles for the first time in his career and the Vols capitalize on it. ”

 

Berry forced that fumble. It wasn't luck, it was a good hit by Berry.

They should've stuck with their gameplan of staying away from him.

He made a few plays in the game, but nothing major until that fumble.

It doesn't change the fact that the "fumble" was the first fumble in 322 chances for Ingram. Unless that becomes a habit for Ingram I consider that fumble an aberration, simple bad luck. And that is not a shot at Berry, cause Gawd dang I love his skillset, and I do believe he is the best safety in college. Regardless, it was good play on Berry based on desparation which equals luck, imo. No fumble there, and Tennessee is in no position to even sniff the upset. With that said, 9 of 10 times Berry doesn't stripe that ball from Ingram, I would put money on that.

 

With that said, dew I wish the best for you guys the rest of the season.

I understand it was desperation, but nonetheless, it wasn't just a fluke fumble, it was forced out by another player. That's not luck, that's a good play by a great player. Most of the time that doesn't happen because the defensive player is focused more on the tackle than on the strip, but at the end of the game the ball carrier needs to protect that ball more than ever. Berry took advantage of that.

 

With that said, dew I wish the best for you guys the rest of the season.

 

Thanks and same to you. I'll be pulling for Bama in the SEC Championship game (assuming Florida makes it too).

a guy whose team won because of two blocked fg's is saying a fumble is luck.

If you read what I said AFTER the game a couple of days ago, you would know that I knew Bama's victory was luck. Never said anything different. I was simply pointed out that Tennessee getting into position to possibly pull the upset was equally lucky.

If your looking for a +1, I can help teach you the Texas fight song ;-).

no, blocking two field goals and having a dimwit opposing coach managing the clock in the last 50 seconds is waaaay luckier.

[Guest]

Berry causing that fumble wasn't luck.

[abuck1220]

he fumbled because he didn't want the ball any more anyway. like when alabama lost to utah last year.

[RedFlash]

I see there is alot of crying about Eric Berry's luck stripping of Ingram. Don't worry guys, just because you're wrong doesn't mean I don't respect your opinions.

 

BTW:

 

 

Eric Berry stripping Ingram was luck.

 

[manbearcub]

Boy you sure told them! I'm so upset by your controversial position on this topic! I'm just so angry about it!

[Derwood]

An SEC fan who has zero ability to give another team credit? The hell you say

[abuck1220]

i don't think you know what the word "luck" means.
