USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 It's just the first quarter, but Dennis Dixon is well on his way to making the (media) vaunted USC D his bitch. Dude that stopped weeks ago. Now the media recognizes USC has an average defense like they always do.
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 The FSN crew announced USC as having the #3 D in the country when they went into the halftime coverage.
2GOLD Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 FCS vs. FBS - Delaware vs. Navy Add Navy to the list of FBS teams going down with Delaware winning 59-52. Some questionable calls late against both teams but the Hens cling to the win. Flacco went for 400 plus yards and Cuff had three scores to lead the Hens offense. I don't have the official stats but I think Flac had about 435 yards with 4 touchdowns.
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 That makes at least 2 games this year with a I-AA team beating a I-A bowl team (Michigan is also going bowling).
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 That was... interesting. Dixon just used the option pitch to give the ball to his tackle.
Urban Warfare Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Tebow is not playing well so far. Clearly the shoulder is bothering him alot more than most people thought. Still in the game though, hopefully the playcalling, dumb penalties and mistakes stop in the second half.
iggymcfly Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Does the light/dark contrast on the Oregon field drive anyone else crazy? I can never see any of these fumbles until they show them on replay.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Jonathan Stewart is going to be a star in the NFL.
cabbageboy Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 U of L got a really hilarious gift win over Pitt today. Pitt had the ball and was driving in a matter of 5 plays and seemed initially to have scored to tie the game. It was reviewed and it was found that the guy was down at the 1 instead. Next play Pitt fumbles at the 1 yard line and U of L recovers it to win. And I have to admit, seeing WVU just work Rutgers today made me smile. Seeing UK get worked by Miss St. mostly made me scratch my head.
MFer Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 UConn up 16-2 on South Florida (now 16-9) Nebraska up 17-3 on Texas
CanadianChris Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 And USC's Rose Bowl hopes are pretty much toast.
2GOLD Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 So lemme get this straight. Your team is ranked fifth in the nation, everyone on the planet knows USC is down this year and you rush the field for beating them because their quarterback is still only average at best? Jesus, and I thought South Florida was pathetic.
Guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Oh well. Can't make the BCS every year. I guarantee that there won't be a single team the rest of the way to hold Oregon to that few points.
Urban Warfare Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Let's run a play we lost 5 yards on two plays ago on fourth and 2. Ok, Urban.
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Let's run a play we lost 5 yards on two plays ago on fourth and 2. Ok, Urban. I know Les Miles. I've coached against Les Miles. And you, Urban Meyer, are no Les Miles.
Bored Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Posted October 27, 2007 So lemme get this straight. Your team is ranked fifth in the nation, everyone on the planet knows USC is down this year and you rush the field for beating them because their quarterback is still only average at best? Jesus, and I thought South Florida was pathetic. Someone missed seeing Iowa fans rushing the field after beating Michigan State today. Beating USC is still a big deal and I think part of it also was due to the game still being in doubt in the final minute. It's not like Oregon just blew them off the field. Hopefully ASU takes care of business tonight so we get a Pac-10 Top 5 match-up next week...that no one will see.
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 TD, Georgia. Florida has to pull 12 points out of their ass in 3:54.
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Turnover recovered by Georgia. This game's not over, but it's damn close.
KingPK Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 South Florida goes down to Connecticut, effectively ending any National Championship talk there.
2GOLD Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Florida got ran all over by the Bulldogs. That's another team dead as of today for the National title. Not that they had much of a shot anymore anyway but that officially closes that book.
teke184 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Championship contenders by conference: SEC: LSU, Alabama (outside contender) ACC: BC Big Ten: Ohio State Big 12: Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas Big East: West Virginia, Connecticut (SERIOUS outside contender) Pac Ten: Oregon, Arizona State, Cal (outside contender) Anyone missing from this list?
MFer Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Well...there's that team called Michigan that everyone had dead and buried after the first 2 games. I guess you could say UCLA too, but they're mad inconsistent. EDIT: never mind, I guess you mean NC contenders, not conference contenders
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Championship contenders by conference: SEC: LSU, Alabama (outside contender) ACC: BC Big Ten: Ohio State Big 12: Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas Big East: West Virginia, Connecticut (SERIOUS outside contender) Pac Ten: Oregon, Arizona State, Cal (outside contender) Anyone missing from this list? Georgia is probably in the mix as a longshot after today, if they can get to the SEC title game with 2 losses and beat LSU or Alabama. They would obviously need a lot of help.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Well...there's that team called Michigan that everyone had dead and buried after the first 2 games. Michigan is not a contender unless almost no teams finish with 1 loss or less; that loss to Oregon is forgivable, but the App. State game pretty much kills them.
Urban Warfare Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Extremely disappointing effort today from Florida. They had numerous chances to take control of the game but continuously shot themselves in the foot with mistakes, penalties and worst of all, sacks. I thought Tebow played very well (after a shaky first half) given the circumstances of his injury (I think he was playing around 60-65%) but didn't get a whole lot of help from his line. This loss probably eliminates him from Heisman contention, but I still feel he's the best player in the country right now.
MFer Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Well...there's that team called Michigan that everyone had dead and buried after the first 2 games. Michigan is not a contender unless almost no teams finish with 1 loss or less; that loss to Oregon is forgivable, but the App. State game pretty much kills them. Yeah, I originally thought he just meant contenders for the conference titles.
iggymcfly Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 USC and USC both have a better shot at reaching the title game than Cal and Alabama do. USC-West because they've got the brand name and people will write off the losses as being "because Booty was hurt" if he comes back and leads them to 10-2 and USC-East because they've got a chance to avenge one of their losses if they beat LSU in the title game. Cal and Alabama are done though and UConn doesn't have the name value to get in. Hawaii still has a really outside chance too but only if they blow out Boise and Washington.
iggymcfly Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Actually, Cal's about even with USC. Both teams are still hanging onto a 1 or 2% chance, but are out for all practical purposes. South Carolina's hurt by Florida losing today too and may not have a realistic shot of climbing back either. Alabama's definitely out though behind all these teams. You don't lose to Florida State and come back to reach the title game.
