Transmogrified Tiger

Before the OSU/UM game I agreed with you. Quinn's stats are still better. More yards, more TD's, same # of INT's and Smith doesn't have the benefit of a bunch of rushing yards and TD's like he did last year. Quinn's been the better QB this year. And I'm not exactly one to hand out compliments to ND or their players very often. It's not a stats race---never has been. Quinn had a prime shot to show he was the Heisman favorite against Michigan in his own building, and they got slaughtered. Quinn looked overmatched at times. Smith has faced down two #2 challengers and looked real good against both of them. Smith is the clear Heisman winner IMO. I doubt the voting will be particularly close. Smith had 2 good games and a bunch of eh/crap games. Quinn had one bad game and a bunch of solid/good games. Do you know how many games Smith has been held under 200 yards passing? 6. Quinn? 0. Want to talk about who is more important to his team? It's Quinn and it's not even close. Quinn has to play well because ND's defense isn't that good. OSU has one of the top defenses in the nation. Coming into today, Notre Dame's defense has allowed 67.5 more ypg than OSU. Offensively, OSU has a far better running game than ND and is averaging 65.5 more rushing ypg than ND. Ohio State has a better team than ND and Smith doesn't have to do as much to keep his team in the game. Quinn is a better player, has better stats, and is more important to his team than Quinn is. To me, that means the Heisman winner should be from South Bend. And, as with many of my Brady Quinn posts, and to annoy ndistops, I have one more thing to say. Quinn is going to look good in Silver and Black next year. Strength. of. Schedule.

Again?? I don't know what happened the first time, but it was real short and the returner and the jammer collided. The jammer thought he needed to cover it up, but missed it(probably because he just collided with the returner), and it hit his foot and bounced to a host of Rutgers players. Rutgers only gets a field goal though, 17-3.

Cincinnati screws up the punt return, Rutgers gets it back at the Cincy 25

Gonzalez isn't an above average defender. I'm confused - this is the Red Sox Alex Gonzalez who should have won the gold glove right? And you don't think he is even above average?? Yes, the Red Sox Alex Gonzalez, formerly of the Marlins.

hahaha, defensive TD Cincinnati, 17-0

Where the heck is McGuire?

If they pull that off it may be the best day of college football ever for Southern Ohio.

I don't know why they didn't change to collapsible goalposts like most schools have done, then take them down immediately after the final whistle.

But if contact is made and the defender has their back to the play, they are going to call it every time. There was contact? It looked like they brushed hands at best. He prevented Manningham from coming to the ball. That's interference. not if the Manningham doesn't come back for the ball and there is contact, unless he fact guards, which he didn't do. He didn't face guard him? What he did pretty much defines face guarding, he wasn't looking for the ball and making a play on the receiver. The ball hit him in the shoulder to boot.

Gonzalez isn't an above average defender.

Incomplete, pretty clear there.

Here comes Michigan.

I'm going to believe that holding penalty was bogus until I see otherwise.

Daniel sacked, Mizzou loses.

Wyrick better have tackled him for that call to be justified.

21-16 ISU (somehow). Please win this Mizzou. 4th and goal from the 1, 22 seconds left.

Geez, how good is high school football in Ohio/Cleveland? I count 1 offensive starter not from Ohio/Greater Cleveland area for OSU.

Wow, Michigan just skewered the OSU defense on that drive.

wtg jinxy mcjinxerson 10-0 Mizzou

Are you back in IL? Otherwise 1120 has the game.

Big game for the Cavs tonight at Washington. They didn't fare too well on the back end of their first back-to-back set, and Hughes won't be playing. A win to go to 8-2 would be stellar.

:?: Hoyer is at quarterback. Reed is a wide receiver.
