10/15 College Football

[CuseCubFan69]

not to beat a a dead horse, but that "non-marquee" matchup between UM and PSU has the 3-3 team favored by 3 1/2 over the 6-0 team....

 

:D Now you're talking!!!

 

I wonder how Joe Pa is going to work that for motivation?

[Mizzou]

Big game for Mizzou tomorrow - Iowa State comes to town for homecoming. I think that tomorrow's game will shape the rest of our season. If we win, we're likely headed to a bowl game. If we lose, it's all down hill from there.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm heading to ND for the game this weekend, I should be sporting my #44 Marc Edwards jersey if anyone sees me.

I will be there. I need to buy tickets though, because who I was supposed to get them from fell through this morning. What time do you plan on getting there?

[adamb0719]

So I saw a Trojan Horse at the pep rally today, and heard a few people mention green jerseys. If Weis tries to match what Devine did in '77 I will be pretty upset (unless they win) :D

[Jon]

Note to Ohio State: Catch the kickoff next time.

[Jon]

Ugh. Dunbar has gone back to being stupid.

[Jon]

Baz to Peterman for 6 on a 60+ yard reception over the middle! Beautiful play fake!

[Jon]

Ooh. Northwestern better get the fumble call at the goal line that UCLA didn't get last week.

 

AND WE DO!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!

 

But Thompson drops an short pass right in the numbers that would've been an easy first down and special teams continues to suck. Yeesh.

 

This will be Purdue's third possession with great field position.

[Jon]

They fake to Sutton every play and Purdue's defense bites every time. He's had what, two carries so far and they're still afraid of him.

 

A TD pass to a TE? Crazy! 14-0 'Cats!

[Jon]

Basanez with 195 yards through the air to 7 different receivers and 2 TDs...through one quarter. This should really open up the running game for Sutton once they choose to go to it.

 

Ouch for MSU. 10-point swing on the blocked FG returned for a TD.

[OleMissCub]

OLE MISS BEATING BAMA AT THE HALF!!! WOOOOOOOOOOT

[Jon]

Baz fakes the handoff and takes it in from 9 yards out! 21-3 with 13:40 to go in the 2nd quarter!

[Jon]

Baz hurts his knee but comes back in. Two dropped passes for would-be first downs and Purdue has good field position. :(

[Jon]

Now Sutton goes down and slowly walks off the field. :x

 

Baz to Roberson for TD #3 through the air! 28-9 with 1:32 left in the half.

 

Sutton doesn't look too hurt.

[EricG]

bring in Painter!!!

[Jon]

Nice to see NU's clock management hasn't changed. Less than :30 left, clock running, and you don't use one of your three remaining timeouts? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

 

56-yard FG with the wind and it juuuuust misses. That thing knuckled like crazy. 28-9 at the half, but Purdue gets the ball to start the 3rd.

Question:

 

Earlier in the game, the Purdue receiver was ruled to have gone out at the one yard line while stretching for the goal line. The play was challenged and the replays showed that he clearly never went out of bounds with the ball. He either just barely broke the plane or fumbled the ball right before hitting the pile on for a touchback. Now, you need irrefutable video evidence to overturn a call. As I said, the video clearly showed that the original ruling on the field was wrong. But it wasn't clear what the correct ruling should be (TD or touchback). The ball was clearly fumbled before hitting the pile-on at the end of the play, but it wasn't clear if he broke the plane a second or two before that. Do the officials then just have to decide which was more likely to have happened if you can't tell from the replays and overturn the original ruling no matter what? Do they have to rule that it definitely was a fumble in order to overturn the original ruling on the field? Or is there another guildeline that they have to go by?

[Jon]

Go back to pooch kicks, please. That was pathetic.

[Jon]

3rd and long, you rush just 3 guys, and he's still wide open for a big gain...

 

Iowa's lead over Indiana is just 3 in the 4th.

 

Well, make that 10.

[Jon]

Shank.

 

Wow. Wisconsin walks out of Minnesota with a 38-34 come from behind win. Ohio State about to beat the Spartans at home.

 

Ugh. Offense not looking shop. A bad throw to a wideopen receiver down the field and then a dropped pass. Ugly.

After the Washington and Cal game, I don't think fumbles are allowed near the endzone. Maybe it's just something that you have to call against UCLA.

[TruffleShuffle]

Well, when you get blown out at home by Rutgers, I think that is the official sign that your team is not going too far.

You still remember that play?

 

This one was mucher closer than that one, though.

 

And the offense has died. This is not good.

[TruffleShuffle]

Thank you thank you thank you ABC for giving us Brad Nessler instead of Brent Musberger at the PSU-Michigan game.

 

The late games on here are PSU-UM, USC-ND and LSU-Tenn. What a slate of games... and then of course on FoxSports Pittsburgh there's the end of the Miami-Temple matchup!
