11/12 College Football

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Les Miles is a freaking idiot. His team is driving on Bama and then he calls a stupid double reverse which is sniffed out and thrown for a loss of 12 putting LSU in a 2-22 and taking them out of FG range. :x

Two consecutive penalties on Bama...2-8 now.

'Bama is helping them out with some penalties to make it 2nd & 8

And Chris Jackson misses the FG! :evil:

Miami woke up, 34-17

[CaliforniaRaisin]

USC leads it at half, 21-3 over the sister school. :(

 

Just to note, I was there at Memorial Stadium at Berkeley the last time USC lost. That was a great day, USC lost and the Cubs clinched a playoff spot by winning a doubleheader against Pittsburgh. :)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are tied at 17 with about a minute left in regulation.

[Chris]

Bama up 10-0 at the half

How many open deep passes is Wisconsin going to drop in this game?

[shnsajax]

You should probably switch

 

Arizona St. @ (14) UCLA

 

with

 

Kansas @ (2) Texas

 

KU should have beaten them last year. We got jobbed by the officials. We also have the 5th best defense in the country, and they have the potential to keep us in games.

 

That said, the opening line was 35 points. I expect KU to keep it closer than that.

 

So do I, but Texas might finally be 100% healthy on offense for the first time in a while. Its going to be interesting to see how they play the 4 head backfield of Vince Young, Selvin Young, Jammal Charles, and Ramonce Taylor. Taylor will probably slot out to WR, but we saw last week why he needs to touch the ball 10+ time a game.

 

Texas wins 38-10

 

almost my exact prediction. When I said they'll keep it closer than 35, I didn't say how much closer.

 

Texas leads 52-41 at halftime. Problem is this is Texas points vs. Kansas total yards. I never thought Texas would be up 52-0 at half time, I did have some respect for Kansas defense before today, but Texas is playing a there peak right now.

LSU goes for a 4th and a yard on the goal line and scores on its first drive of the 2nd half to cut the score to 10-7.

[sethuel1]

big drive and big call on 4th down for LSU

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

LSU stops Bama on the next drive and now face a big third down of their own.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Chris Jackson hits the FG. 10-10.

 

Geuax Tigers!

[E.J.]

Wow. I think you can say there's been a momentum shift in the LSU/Bama game. LSU is dominating after coming out of halftime.

[Productive Outs]

UK is up 34-10 as the second begins against Vandy.

 

C-A-T-S Cats Cats Cats!

 

I still want Brooks fired!

 

what in the world happened? UK still won, but 48-43 :shock:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

LSU gets its fifth sack on 3rd and 7 and Alabama will have to punt asthe third quarter ends with the score tied.

 

Geaux Tigers!

59-7 Texas over Kansas in the third quarter. I expected Texas to beat a beatdown on kU, but geez, not like this.

[Jon]

Wisconsin sure is putting up a stinker this evening. They blew a ton of chances and now they're down 10 to Iowa. This would be a pretty bad loss for them in their Big Ten finale if the score holds up.

Wouldn't a Wisconsin loss be a good thing for Northwestern, Big 10 standings wise?

Most likely not. If Wisconsin beats Hawaii and loses today, they'd finish 9-3, 5-3. A win at Illinois would put Northwestern at 7-4, 5-3. Since there's no tie-breaker in bowl selection (and since bowls can select teams out of order, anyways), Wisconsin is pretty much guaranteed to be selected ahead of Northwestern no matter what. If Iowa wins today, they'll finish either 7-4, 5-3 or 6-5, 4-4. Iowa will probably be selected ahead of Northwestern if there's a tie (again, the win over them wouldn't matter) because of the larger fan base. That might happen anyways if they finish 6-5, in which case it's Music City Bowl for NU instead of the Sun Bowl.

 

Then again, I'd contemplate going down to Nashville if that's what they have to settle for.

Jackson misses for 47 yds, score remains tied.

66-14 now. Texas v USC will be a very fun game to watch.

Funny how several kU fans actually thought theyd be able to compete with Texas for a little while. Looks like Texas is just flexing its muscles now.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Another three and out for Bama. LSU takes over on its own 32.
