Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted September 26, 2006 Hey, this week is acceptable. I call it Spoiler Saturday. For BCS spoilers. No Big 10 game on ESPN at Noon. That will be weird. Games I'm looking forward to: BYU/TCU. This week, and probably more so at Utah next week, are TCU's biggest tests of the season. If they can survive, they're BCS bound. Rutgers/South Florida. Just because. Purdue/Notre Dame. To see how good Purdue truly is. And if Notre Dame wins, it would take a miracle to knock them out of the BCS with the rest of their schedule until the finale at USC. Boise St./Utah. Boise's main block along with @ Nevada later in the year. Oregon/Arizona St. Because at least 80 points will be scored. And I wish to see the Sun Devils advance against the Undefeated Ducks. Oh wait, he's not here anymore. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted September 26, 2006 Hey, it's possible. ASU will score at least 30 points. Oregon will probably score 50, but, oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2006 ASU got their asses beaten by Nate Longshore. Dennis Dixon should be able to pass all over them. He's coming into this game with kind of a lot of confidence in himself (72 seconds, 2 tds). ASU did rush for over 200 yards against a pretty good defense though. I guess it just depends on how ASU bounces back from the beating they took. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted September 26, 2006 I don't know if Oregon has the ridiculous speed that Cal has, though. It probably doesn't matter anyway. ASU's defense is hopeless. I hope Torain has another big game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Torain has another big game. Oregon has great team speed. Running back? Jonathon Stewart clocked his 40 in the 4.3's. Quarterback? Dennis Dixon is extremely fast and has the ability to turn on the jets when he needs to. The receivers are fast too, including world class track athlete Jordan Kent. Plus, that spread offense has been giving people fits. Its going to be a good game though, I'm looking forward to watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teke184 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2006 Headlines most people thought they'd never write: "Vanderbilt 33-point favorite over Temple". http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/...sure-thing.html I know that Vandy's defense is good, but their offense is subpar. I guess they'll be getting a lot of help from Temple throwing picks and fumbling all day long in order to cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teke184 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2006 BYU stunning TCU 17-3 in the 3rd. Reminds me of the LAST time TCU got national TV exposure as a BCS-Buster... Southern Miss beat the shit out of them for 3 quarters and it only got close in the 4th because of two onsides kicks recovered by the horny toads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted September 29, 2006 Not that big of a stunner. TCU is very one-dimensional on offense with their RB's nicked up. Thought their defense was better though. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teke184 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2006 TCU is officially amongst the ranks of the beaten. Auburn is up only 14-10 over South Carolina at the half which, IMHO, is a surprise considering that Georgia shut out SC a few weeks back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2006 I'm not that surprised. Really short week (even though most of the important Auburn starters hardly played against Buffalo), a Thursday night road game against a fired-up conference opponent--a little bit of a "letdown" isn't that surprising. Now, if they lose, that'll be very surprising. I think it's about to be 24-10 very soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2006 Really good game between S. Carolina and Auburn, and a tremendously impressive performance by Syvelle Newton. He basically took over the game by himself, making a ton of good throws, and getting 5-10 yards down the sideline whenever the receivers were covered. I really don't think it was a "letdown" for Auburn at all. South Carolina just executed their gameplan to perfection, Auburn failed to adjust to the running threat of Newton, and SC came within one play of pulling the upset.

teke184 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Rutgers is up by 8 with 43 seconds left, but South Florida is driving. Thanks to a late hit by Rutgers on the QB, South Florida is down to the Rutgers 21. EDIT- South Florida had a TD, but there was a holding flag on the play. 2nd and goal on South Florida at the Rutgers 15 with 22 seconds left. EDIT 2- TD by South Florida with 15 seconds left to play. HOWEVER, Rutgers has called a TD to challenge the play. EDIT 3- South Florida's receiver drops the ball in the end zone on the conversion, so it's pretty much over. South Florida will try an onsides kick though. EDIT 4- South Florida got the ball, but it looks like it didn't go 10 yards. The refs are sending it up to review, but it looks like the official call was that the ball didn't go far enough for a South Florida recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
