College Gameday Thread: Week 2

[OregonDucks]

Chat about week 2 games. Where is game day gonna be at? maybe west virginia and east carolina?

[Smooth Criminal]

Another tune up game for the buckeyes this week. Hopefully Wells sits out and gets ready to go for the first real game, @ USC.

[djp]

Gameday will be in Gainesville for Miami vs Florida

[CLong4Heisman]

i actually like Miami in that game. Maybe like 23-21.

[kwilk103]

we will win, another good passing day for white

devine will run wild

[Don Vito]

Ole Miss vs. Wake Forest is something I've been waiting for since schedules came out. It's at Wake and I would go to see it but it will be televised nationally on ABC Saturday.

[Turtlepower]

Mark Sanchez is going to destroy the bye week!

[eaglesalltheway]

i actually like Miami in that game. Maybe like 23-21.

I think they keep it close till the fourth quarter, but Florida will pull away towards the end. I think Kirk Herbstreit has it as close, but I see it like a 35(ish) to 24(ish).

[504 to ATL]

What do you guys know about Miami that I dont, did they get back the 01 team or something?

[CashmoneyDrew]

I'm pretty sure Tennesse is off this weekend and they definitely needed it. Those coaches need to be better and gameplan around their strengths better.

[trekindude]

South Carolina will hopefully dismantle Vanderbilt. I'm hoping Smelley shows he can pass well against a decent secondary and the D should be just as stifling as it was of NC State.
24-7 to the 'Cocks

[CLong4Heisman]

What do you guys know about Miami that I dont, did they get back the 01 team or something?

Oh its not Miami. If Harvin isn't 100% still then Miami might be able to contain Tebow. Also Miami has one of the fastest D's that Fla will see this year regardless of conference.

[BigJohn98]

Florida blows Miami away. I see something to the tune of 59-10.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

USF going to destroy UCF.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

By the way, I like ECU's D to make the WVU game interesting, unfortunately.

[Sniper]

Michigan! Miami of Ohio! Get into it! First to ten points wins....we could lose :( And then I could slit my wrists...we just don't seem to do too well against teams from Ohio.

[kwilk103]

By the way, I like ECU's D to make the WVU game interesting, unfortunately.

vt wins if tyrod plays

they left some points on the board

i say we win by 14 pts

plus, vt's offense is/was pretty bad, so its not like the ecu d was goin against a top 10 offense

also a classic letdown game; mid-major wins a big game, then they dont seem to carry it to the next game

doesnt help that their qb is already giving our d bulletin board material

rumblings the game may be moved b/c of the hurricane

[Sniper]

Link to bulletin board material?

[kwilk103]

heard on our sports radio show tonight

their qb pinkney, said they already beat the toughest team on their schedule

just said it after practice today, but there should be an article on it soon; when i get it, i'll post it

[Sniper]

Well VT's always got a really good defense, so maybe that's what he was alluding to.

[kwilk103]

either way, not exactly the smartest thing to say

the hurricane could affect things; if its windy, that helps our running game; we have a good run defense, and that would hurt their pass defense

wouldnt be shocked if they changed the start time

[504 to ATL]

Kwilk I did not get a chance to see WV play, what is your assessment on their play?

I actually picked ECU to beat them as my upset special in my college pick-em contest. I have no clue why obviously since I did not see WV play. I saw the score vs. Nova was closer than it should have been for awhile, then WV pulled away. Try and take an unbiased point of view and tell me, is there any way ECU "could" beat WV?

[kwilk103]

offense rolled as expected; they insisted on keepin 8/9 in the box all game so we passed all day; thats why devine had so few carries

defense played very basic, keep it in front; when we did blitz, they couldnt do anything; plus, we put some 2s/3s with our 1s during some of the game; all big east mlb reed williams is expected back, and he will help our defense; even 'novas qb said the defense was basic and we didnt disguise anything; just simple cover 2/3 all game; we will play more man and blitz more this week

hurricane is the thing to watch; imo, it helps us more than it hurts us; it will rely both teams to run the ball, which is our strength; the strength is our defense is the run d; the only team to get more than 100 yds on us last year was rutgers, which was also played in the rain

i only seem them beating us if we turn it over several (3+) times; i dont see their defense holding our offense in check; even if our d is bad, i just cant see their offense keeping up with ours

last few years they kept 8 in the box, and our better talent won out; this year, if they do that, we will throw, opening the running lanes up

if it turns into a shootout, i dont see them keeping up

just looked it up, vt left between 9-17 points on the board (int from ecu 19, turnover on downs from ecu 5, missed 44 yd fg)

it was more of vt shooting themselves in the foot, imo

we should cover easily

[kwilk103]

all big east lb reed williams is expected to start

josh jenkins is going to get 50% of the snaps from here on out; impressive considering going into camp our whole 2 deep returned

doc said he as the best guard in the country last year, but even then he didnt know he was that guard, and has impressed him

[scottyboy]

if Rutgers loses to UNC, I'll...****, I can't even think of anything to say that I'd do to myself...

[kwilk103]

isnt your game week 3?

[scottyboy]

isnt your game week 3?

yes, but I just felt it must be known...

and I kinda wanted the subscription to the thread :D

[SuperKevin]

Im looking forward to the Stanford-Arizona State game.

Southern Miss vs Auburn might be an upset in the making also

[draftguru151]

I get to watch GT this week, should be fun to watch their new offense against an ACC opponent. Thank goodness that and the Auburn game are on here, the ESPN games are terrible at noon.

[SuperKevin]

The more I think about it the more excited I'm getting about the Southern Miss-Auburn game. Southern Miss RB Damion Fletcher is one of my favorite players in college football. Nobody in college football runs harder than Fletcher for a back of his size. If the guy was 15 lbs heavier he'd be getting first round consideration as a junior.

Senior TE Shawn Nelson is a highly underated NFL Prospect. He has great size at 6'5" 245 lbs with 4.6 speed. He's an excellent reciever and an improving blocker.

[M.O.T.H.]

South Carolina should roll tomorrow. Nickson will be a nice little test for the new 4-2-5.

[OregonDucks]

I am actually looking forward to that sc vandy game. I bet vandy puts up a fight, in the end i believe smelley will take them to the top, but dont count vandy out just yet.

[iowatreat54]

hahaha best headline ever on ESPN first take right now:

"USC surviving so far"

really? they are undefeated after 1 game and we already need to hear about how they are making a run for an undefeated season? this is going to be a long season...

[SuperKevin]

DJ Moore=beast in the return game

[M.O.T.H.]

Darian Stewart just f'ed him up. Woo!

[M.O.T.H.]

Touchdown Kenny Mac!!!

[draftguru151]

Great catch Kenny.

[504 to ATL]

Oh snap there was a game on tonight? I actually thought Vandy could steal this one. But I picked USC regardless.

[bernbabybern820]

Wow what kind of idiot defensive play call was that? Why would you bring the house and leave everyone one on one when SC needs a TD at the 16 yard line?

[M.O.T.H.]

The Captain should have a clean return here.

edit...dammit.

[M.O.T.H.]

Smelley looks awful, horrible decision making all night.

[LonghornsLegend]

Uh oh Moth lol...Nice catch though by the TE.

[Hines]

That was a nice play right there.

[draftguru151]

Wow great job by Nickson and great catch.

[BamaFalcon59]

He was wide open. Nice job seeing it and reacting by Captain Munnerlyn. Just a tad too late getting there.

[M.O.T.H.]

This is so aggravating...the offense is unwatchable and now, no Mckinley it's disgusting. The defense shouldnt even have any points against...You have the muff and a horrible Smelley pick that set up two short field scoring drives.

Just throw to Cook and Lecorn, Smelley.

[BamaFalcon59]

Cook is going to be a star.

There really was no need for that pass interference.

Well, then they overturned the call.

How a school like South Carolina with a coach like Spurrier can not find a QB is surprising to me.

[M.O.T.H.]

Cook should just be a WR, opposite Mckinley. Then we can utilize Saunders more as well.

[draftguru151]

Davis doing his best Boyd impersonation. :D

[M.O.T.H.]

Cook is going to be a star.

There really was no need for that pass interference.

Well, then they overturned the call.

How a school like South Carolina with a coach like Spurrier can not find a QB is surprising to me.

Garcia probably would be the QB by now if he could be depended on off the field.

[draftguru151]

Lets go Commodores!

[M.O.T.H.]

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[M.O.T.H.]

Dammit Stewart...three dropped picks tonight.

[draftguru151]

About time Walker gets the ball.

[Hines]

Munnerlyn with the nice tackle.

[draftguru151]

TD Nickson! WOOOOOO. Great run by Hawkins getting down there. (Great hit by Cook too, looks like a Bob Sanders clone)

[Hines]

Better corner, Munnerlyn or Moore?

[M.O.T.H.]

Munnerlyn is better but, he's struggled from time to time and limps frequently. Still feeling the effects of that broken foot.

[M.O.T.H.]

Taylor Rank has perhaps the worst vision I've ever seen. Good lord.

[draftguru151]

Get Maddox on the field. :(

[BamaFalcon59]

Yeah there was a large space to run through, yet he still attempted to cut back.

[Hines]

I wonder what Smelley had to go through with a last name like that.

[themaninblack]

What a great game. Can't believe I'm saying this but GO VANDY!

[M.O.T.H.]

K, time to take Rank's useless ass out. Just stick w/ the spread...that defense is gassed and arent even getting that much pressure anymore. Let's go.

[M.O.T.H.]

What a mess...so freaking embarassing.

[BamaFalcon59]

Hey, VT lost to ECU. So things could be worse.

[islandboy843]

Bad call on the Captain.

[M.O.T.H.]

Well our season is just about over. :(

[draftguru151]

LETS GO VANDY! Go Hawkins!

[islandboy843]

USC Special Teams epic fails for this game.


You can say they gave up 20 points altogether.

[draftguru151]

Wow what a run by Smelley. Vandy's defense (at least their front 7) is so mediocre.

[M.O.T.H.]

Nice play Freddie. Gotta get that ball back.

[P-L]

**** Spurrier. I needed a Mike Davis TD right there.

[Geo]

Come on Vandy!

Sack on 3rd down, excellent.

[Geo]

Keep running the white (gasp) runningback.

[islandboy843]

Game Ovaaaaaaaaaaa

[draftguru151]

**** Spurrier. I needed a Mike Davis TD right there.

You're going to lose even with Hawkins on my bench. :D

[draftguru151]

Way to finish it off! GO COMMODORES!!!

[M.O.T.H.]

I'm am so f'ing annoyed. Season is over already. No Qb, no offensive line, same ole song.

[islandboy843]

I'm am so f'ing annoyed. Season is over already. No Qb, no offensive line, same ole song.

Come on SCAR played good.

Vandy just got some luck on Special Teams then McKinley got hurt.


Not that bad of a loss depending on what happened.

[M.O.T.H.]

Scar played terrible and beat themselves into the ground. If you want to win the SEC, you cant lose to Vandy...no offense to them, they're getting there but, you just cant have that.

[Geo]

Jay Cutler smiles upon you, 2008 Vanderbilt Commodores.

(But really, nice job.)


PS. Lee Corso >> South Carolina.

[Hines]

I think Bama is the darkhorse this season for the SEC title. Everyone talks about Auburn, LSU, Georgia, Florida, but noone talks about Bama.

[islandboy843]

First Clemson then this.

Not a good start for SC football

[devinhester=R.O.Y 2006]

You always have Furman. Fear the Paladin. ;)

[Sniper]

I think Bama is the darkhorse this season for the SEC title. Everyone talks about Auburn, LSU, Georgia, Florida, but noone talks about Bama.

Because Alabama won't win the SEC title. Don't let a crappy Clemson team fool you. They have games @ Georgia, @ Tennessee, @ Arkansas and @ LSU. Best of luck with that. Not to mention, Auburn hasn't lost the Iron Bowl since 2001.

[Geo]

Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn are incorporating new starters at quarterback. There is that.

That Alabama at Georgia game is going to be killer, can't wait for that.

[Hines]

They do have a tough schedule, but they have the talent to do so. If they dont win it this year, IMO, I think that they contend for it next year.

[holt_bruce81]

South Carolina is garbage. Why do they look so bad? weren't they supposed to be somewhat good this season?

[smittyjs]

vandy defense kept the game close the first half, and the offense was able to make play in the second, great game had one hell of a time, lets go dores, 2 in a row against sc, are defense made play all night, sc QB sucks and nickson isn't even better but atleast he didn't turn the ball over.

Don't sleep on the dores this year, if the front 4 can keep improving this defense could be great.

[smittyjs]

Scar played terrible and beat themselves into the ground. If you want to win the SEC, you cant lose to Vandy...no offense to them, they're getting there but, you just cant have that.You can't lose to vandy twice once isn't that bad...;) just messing with you man. but vandy has a good team this year and has been in many games the last few season. so it isn't as bad losing to vandy as it was like 5 years ago, because we are a halfway decent team this year.

[M.O.T.H.]

Oh I know...but, it's still a hard loss to come back from w/ all the elite teams still on the schedule. It's a season killer...I mean that in the nicest way, though. haha. Props to Vandy.

[smittyjs]

SC offensive line was really on and off in this game, looked great at some point and other point they looked pretty bad, davis is a beast and time for garica to get a shot at QB.

[M.O.T.H.]

South Carolina is garbage. Why do they look so bad? weren't they supposed to be somewhat good this season?

You never know w/ them. The defense was expected to be fantastic and in the 1st two games they have looked excellent. They were great tonight, only giving up 235 yards...the short fields killed us. Costly turnovers by Smelley and terrible ST play. The defense is an elite unit...the offense on the other hand is just garbage. Horrible offensive line...again and inconsistant QB play, those tend to go hand in hand but, the decision making really needs to be improved upon, Smelley had some time to throw tonight but, made some poor throws. Doent help that our Wrs have to wait on everything because, of his average arm. ugh. In the end, the defense should keep us in every game but, it may be a bumpy road once again, with what we've seen from the offense thus far. It's just disappointing...the Spurrier era has not been what any of us fans are hoping for. Pretty much our only shot to become one of the elite and it just isnt happening. After he leaves, things are probably just going to get worse. Tough to be Gamecock fan.

edit...i will say this though, I wouldnt count them out next week against Georgia.

[vatech=accdomination]

The reason they did not win is because Spurrier did not play his son at WR.

[504 to ATL]

Because Alabama won't win the SEC title. Don't let a crappy Clemson team fool you. They have games @ Georgia, @ Tennessee, @ Arkansas and @ LSU. Best of luck with that. Not to mention, Auburn hasn't lost the Iron Bowl since 2001.

+1 on the bold.

Too bad that @ UGA game is not later in the season, UGA might not have any starters left, lol.

@ Tenn might not be as hard as it used to be after that loss to UCLA, but we must wait and see.

@ Arky is nothing cept for an away game. Arky is garbage right now.

It does look favorable for Bama this year, but it is Bama after all. They will stumble, and that display against Clemson must be taken with a grain of salt.

[504 to ATL]

they have the talent to do so. If they dont win it this year, IMO, I think that they contend for it next year.

Remember UGA, LSU, and UF all have more collective talent on their rosters than Bama.

Bama pulled in one killer class, while UF, and UGA have been top 10 if not top 5 for like three years straight.

[jayceheathman]

Keep running the white (gasp) runningback.

I played on the same team as Jared Hawkins in middle school and high school. He is good.

[DragonFireKai]

South Carolina is garbage. Why do they look so bad? weren't they supposed to be somewhat good this season?

People overeacted when south carolina shut out a God awful NCstate team. They came back to earth when they lost to vanderbilt, because people realized that the two teams were battling for the right to finish last in the SEC East and would likely not make a bowl. It's a recurring theme. Sort of like Alabama winning a big game, getting an SI cover portraying "BAMA'S BACK!", and then promptly do something embarasing like losing to Louisiana Monroe at home.

[504 to ATL]

I only disagree slightly with you. Last in the SEC would be Ole Miss, or Arky aside from Vandy.

I dont know who overreacted...South Carolina didnt look all that great in that 1st game.

Defense: Yay
Offense: Nay

South Carolina certainly has enough talent to compete w/ the better teams in the SEC, they wont finish in last. I wouldnt be shocked if they knocked off georgia next week. Just need the offense to show up for a change, the defense will keep them in it.

Well, you're chasing Vandy now. Maybe if Spurrier could keep his attention on the field, he might be able to harness all that talent you talked about.

You gotta be kidding me right?

What secret players do they have on their roster that I don't know about that could make them equal to the talent on UF, UGA, or LSU?

[iworshipbender]

I love Lou Holtz. So delusional. It's fantastic!

[Geo]

Calling Dr. Lou, LOL. That's some funny stuff though.

And that picture of Spurrier is three shades of awesome. Way to go, ball coach.

[duckseason]

He said they have the talent to compete with the better teams in the SEC. You're putting words in his mouth. What he said is true.

[UKfan]

I love Lou Holtz. So delusional. It's fantastic!

I don't know if it is because I am English, but I just cannot understand that guy, and he sounds all slobbery, it's weird, not a fan lol.

[504 to ATL]

Competing means pushing another team and being there in the end. USC is not that good, they do not have the talent to do that. Its pretty plain. They do not have the QB, O-line, or RB.

All they have are some starlets out on the field, mainly on defense who tend to make up for their other deficiencies.

Also what did Lou say this time? I was watching last night when he said USC had the best defense in the SEC. Hell they might not even have the best defense in their own division, let alone the entire conference.

[504 to ATL]

I don't know if it is because I am English, but I just cannot understand that guy, and he sounds all slobbery, it's weird, not a fan lol.

He has a speech impediment, a terrible lisp. That and he salivates like a mofo. I have to grab some Windex after his pep talks to clean all the spittle off my screen.

[UKfan]

I was thinking of the salivating, the lisp isn't a problem really. Guess it all adds up anyway.

[504 to ATL]

What he needs is some rag to put in his shirt pocket so he can wipe it from the corners of his mouth.

Lou is more of a joke anyway, ESPN even knows this. They just put him on so people can say "did he really say that." That and straight up laugh at him.

[M.O.T.H.]

You gotta be kidding me right?

What secret players do they have on their roster that I don't know about that could make them equal to the talent on UF, UGA, or LSU?

I never said equal overall talent. On defense yes, I do believe they have equal to better talent. Potentially the best defense in the conference...On the offensive end... yes, they are greatly lacking but, w/ that defense...they will be in most games. The offense is pretty much the same unit, minus Boyd, who beat Georgia a year ago. It's a team you cant count out, any given week...just like a Vandy, who I shouldnt have been sleeping on. These two teams do have enough talent to compete and knock off the better teams in the SEC. It's been a slow process but, the SCAR's, Vandy's, and Kentucky's out there have shown they can play with the big boys.

[Sniper]

On defense yes, I do believe they have equal to better talent. Potentially the best defense in the conference

Some fellas in the Bayou wanted a word with you.

[M.O.T.H.]

The voters who decided to rank them, perhaps?


Well, when you start off the season ranked or lets say unranked, at #26 and several top 25 teams lose...you tend to be ranked the next week. It wasnt an overreaction to the NC State game, who no one was praising to begin with, they were ranked based on the simple fact that they were the odd team out of the rankings in the first poll.

[M.O.T.H.]

Some fellas in the Bayou wanted a word with you.

We'll see...this defense could be the best in school history. Of course, i'm jumping the gun a bit but, they have nfl caliber talent all over that defense and fantastic depth at every position. I try not to make bold statements and say flat out that they are the best in the SEC but, from a talent stand point...they're right on par with the elite.

[Sniper]

Speaking of the fellas in the Bayou, is there a factory that pumps out ridiculous defensive linemen I need to know about? Because Rich Rodriguez sure needs to pay a visit to it. Seriously though, LSU shits out elite DL. It's amazing.

But why do they have to go up? If the poll is supposed to be of the top 25 teams, and no one thought they were top 25 material, why not pass them up for a team that won't drop a second straight game to Vanderbilt?

[Sniper]

Who wants to be my hero for a week? I'll be at work tomorrow and in need of scores on the train wreck known as Michigan football. If someone could text me updates, that'd be splendid. PM me for my number if you can do it.

[SuperKevin]

If Dante Love wasn't so small he'd be a big time NFL prospect. The guy is putting up All-American numbers so far averaging 9 catches and 160+ yards a game. He now has 3 recieving TDs and 2 rushing TDs as well

[504 to ATL]

Crazy thing is LSU loses 2 very good DT's this year, and is still at least 3 deep with starting caliber players behind that departing duo.

Heck then they have Davenport, and possibly McFarland coming in as well.

I dont know, I guess when you get the label of D-Line U for recent years it makes you a hot commodity.

[Geo]

Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas, lol.

Oh Erin Andrews.

[draftguru151]

I am SOOOOOOO pumped for tonight. 8 can't get here fast enough.

[Geo]

I hope the Hurricanes make it a great game. It sucks for Miami to be down like they've been the last few years.

[Geo]

Will Johnson got pancaked badly playing the NT in that three-man alignment on second down.

Terrance Taylor made a great push to prevent the third down conversion, however.

[UKfan]

Ohio's O-line is giving some good protection against the Buckeyes. I'm impressed.

edit - nevermind, o-lineman causes a fumble and then there is a lot of pressure causing an INT.

[Hines]

Ohio looks fired up on defense. I guess the loss of Beanie is effecting them somewhat.

[yo123]

Marshall takes the early 7-0 lead over Wisconsin.

It's been ugly so far with penalties and inconsistent play in the secondary

[BamaFalcon59]

ACC Select is stupid. It won't let me register (for some reason the second step has no continue on it, and if it does it won't let me scroll down), the company that was running it (PlayON) is no longer running it obviously but theystill had their number for help. So they tell me to call CBS, but CBS had no phone number available, so I fill out a EMail thing, and then after I do that they give me the phone number, which I call and have been on the waiting line for like 15 minutes.

I want to see this game (Furman at Virginia Tech.).

Dude it's fine, we are tied up with Eastern Illinois right now. Looks like we have a Mizzou hangover.

I expect both to pull away as the game goes on.

Marshall is moving down the field again; probably gonna be up two scores

I think the Badgers will be able to battle through this, but with Fresno coming up they need to be performing better

[sweetness34]

Then again Marshall did smash ISU, a solid DI-AA team last week so you may have a fight on your hands. Forgot that they were pretty solid this year.

Illinois up 10-7 and have the ball near mid field.

[Hines]

I think Wisky is the most overrated team in the Big Ten.

Ohio is impressing me a lot with their defense. If they were good offensively, they could be taking a lead soon.

Keller for them is having a great game.

14-0 Marshall...

That TE leak screen was one of the sickest playcalls I've ever seen... perfect call against the blitz and the design of the play was brilliant.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Ohio will win this game.

[Hines]

Boo Jackson with the nice, Eli Manning type of play.

Wisconsin isn't flashy and they pound the rock quite a bit so many people always look for them to fold, but they have developed consistency with that aatck and that is why they are always highly touted.

[BeerBaron]

Ohio is making OSU look silly atm.

OSU should still win but even so, this doesn't look good on them. Maybe Beanie would be making a huge difference but 1 player shouldn't make the difference between OSU and ******* Ohio, lol

I'm enjoying this....

[Hines]

Wisconsin isn't flashy and they pound the rock quite a bit so many people always look for them to fold, but they have developed consistency with that aatck and that is why they are always highly touted.

But they never perform against the upper tier teams in the Big Ten.

I hope they arent ranked if they lose this week. Struggle a bit against Akron and now struggling against Marshall is a cause of concern.

[BeerBaron]

boo jackson is my new hero.

[draftguru151]

Lets go Ohio!

[BamaFalcon59]

Finally got ACCSelect and think I got it figured out.

[Hines]

Ohio has some nice, athletic quarterbacks that I have been impressed with. This little dump **** is getting on my nerves though.

[BeerBaron]

Jackson again, lol. I hope they get the first here...... Jackson and his fro-locks kick ass

[BeerBaron]

seriously. is this ******* ohio state or did they pull some spectators and give them uniforms?

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Hahahahahahahahaha.

[BeerBaron]

TD OHIO!! wow.....7-3 lead.

I think OSU will still probably win but there is no way they should be the #3 team in the country here

[draftguru151]

Great job by JL on that run. NOT!

[kwilk103]

i mean, i know beanie's out, but i mean, your osu

offense shouldnt be this bad

oh, early line is usc -8

[princefielder28]

But they never perform against the upper tier teams in the Big Ten.

Never perform against upper tier Big Ten teams???

They have not lost a ranked Big Ten home games since 2003

They tend to struggle a bit on the road against some of the conference's elite, but very few teams have a clean slate against that type of competition

[Hines]

Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio!!!!!

[BamaFalcon59]

I so hope Southern Miss beats Auburn.

[UKfan]

Come on Ohio, hold here!

[BeerBaron]

I contend that I have better hands than Hartline or Robiskie.....haha

this is so fun to watch. OSU struggling.....nice

[BamaFalcon59]

Woah, I forgot USM got DeAndre BRown. I'm still amazed by that.

[djp]

Woah, I forgot USM got DeAndre BRown. I'm still amazed by that.

Cause that was the only school he could get into....

[BamaFalcon59]

Still. A 5 star player. At Southern Miss.

Oh, and Chris Todd has such a weak arm.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Keep it up Ohio!!!!!!

[SuperKevin]

I still think Southern Miss can end up beating Auburn. Damion Fletcher is a beast

[BeerBaron]

wow, that FG wasn't even close...... Everything about OSU is sucking atm

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Ohio leading at half makes me happy.

[wicket]

Anybody seeing if wisconsin really look like they are losing or are they just behind, cant see the game

[princefielder28]

Badgers take the lead 17-14

[SuperKevin]

Anybody seeing if wisconsin really look like they are losing or are they just behind, cant see the game

I think they just happen to be like a drive behind right now. I'm confident they come out in the 2nd half and pull it out

[Xonraider]

Goooo Ohio!!!

[wicket]

aight i was really high on wisconsin and i dont wanna be proved wrong already

[princefielder28]

aight i was really high on wisconsin and i dont wanna be proved wrong already

don't worry, they won't let you down

[SuperKevin]

Juice Williams is proving last weeks breakout passing game was a fluke. Today against E. Illinois he's 11-20 for 57 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs

[SuperKevin]

aight i was really high on wisconsin and i dont wanna be proved wrong already

They took the lead back 17-14.

Javon Ringer with 3 tds the first half. Kid is a stud.

[sweetness34]

Juice Williams is proving last weeks breakout passing game was a fluke. Today against E. Illinois he's 11-20 for 57 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs

I've been watching the game and although Juice hasn't been as strong in the passing game, his 2nd INT was a dropped pass that went to a defender. He's looked a lot better since then and just led us down the field for a touchdown before halftime. Also has 100 yards rushing and two TD's.

[sweetness34]

He looks like he's trying not to turn the ball over and in turn it's making his passes less accurate and making him more hesitant.

[draftguru151]

Nice tackle JL. NOT!

[devinhester=R.O.Y 2006]

What happened to Jake Christensen for Iowa? Was he injured or just taken out? It looks from the stats that he was in for only 1 drive.

[P-L]

Beanie Wells better be 100% next week, or OSU is in BIG trouble.

[draftguru151]

WOOOO go Ohio!!!

[Sniper]

Nice recovery by Brandon Harrison after he got roasted extra crispy.

[619]

O-H-I-O!!!!!!!!!!

OSU is in BIG trouble....right now.

wow.

I'm loving this

[adschofield]

OSU is in trouble next week regardless of Wells' status...14-6 Ohio...wow

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Oh my god. I love you Ohio.

[skinzzfan25]

Lets go OHIO!!!

[Bruce]

Gotta love the Slow 10

[kwilk103]

calling keylime

[smittyjs]

LOL lets go ohio :)

[LonghornsLegend]

Why the hell is Pryor not getting in the game? Put him in and get a spark going.

[BeerBaron]

this may seem totally insane, i won't deny it if it does.

but....

if Ohio pulls this off, I think it might be a bigger upset than App St and Michigan last year.

I mean, this is THEE Ohio State University. Losing....to Ohio. App St was at least 1-AA Champs a few times and were a fast team with D-1 level talent.

This is Ohio. Who only ever makes headlines when they usually get pummeled by OSU and then at the end of the year maybe they make a low level bowl game.

This is some crazy ass ****.

[smittyjs]

Gotta love the Slow 10lol............

Plus, everyone knew Michigan couldn't defend the spread. Nobody anticipated this.

[Sniper]

Gotta love the Slow 10

SEC is 9-9 vs. the Slow 10 in the past 18. That speed's really helping you out.

[Sniper]

Plus, everyone knew Michigan couldn't defend the spread. Nobody anticipated this.

And we had JOHNNY ******* SEARS starting at corner. Johnny Sears!

[BeerBaron]

ah ****.

ohio is starting to look complacent on defense. not good......

[Geo]

Javon Ringer with 3 tds the first half. Kid is a stud.
I really like Ringer too. Very good player.

[BeerBaron]

Well, Herron > Mo Wells. This much seems obvious now.

[Sniper]

Well, Herron > Mo Wells. This much seems obvious now.

Mo Wells is terrible. Falls down if you look at him

[Xonraider]

Come on Ohio... stop them!!!

[BeerBaron]

that was totally not a first down right there. I'm calling shenanigans on the NCAA.

They want a top 5 matchup next week....

[Sniper]

I love Donovan Warren. So awesome. He just needs a set of hands.

[Xonraider]

Damn.... Ohio better produce on offense now.

YESSS MISSED PAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[UKfan]

Missed the XP, that could come back to haunt them.

[BeerBaron]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

who is this kicker for OSU? thats twice now he hasn't even been close, and this was on an extra point. wow

[P-L]

I love Donovan Warren. So awesome. He just needs a set of hands.
He should play QB. He can't possibly be worse than Threet and Sheridan.

[Xonraider]

Missed the XP, that could come back to haunt them.

I'm willing to bet that in a game like this, it will.

[Geo]

What a horrible miss on the PAT, wtf.

In the words of Charles Barkley, that was tuurrrible.

[BeerBaron]

Ohio has been looking so clumsy on their kick returns...

[islandboy843]

I love Chris Wells spirit though.

[BeerBaron]

i think its really sad that OSU is supposed to have all of these great athletes on defense and Boo ******* Jackson is making them look like idiots...

[BamaFalcon59]

I'm pretty sure VT is going to be last in the division this year. Behind Duke.

Furman looks like Southern Cal..

They un-redshirted Tyrod Taylor to let him play runningback.

Wtf Was That!!!!!

But they never perform against the upper tier teams in the Big Ten.

I hope they arent ranked if they lose this week. Struggle a bit against Akron and now struggling against Marshall is a cause of concern.
In the past 5 years we have beat Ohio State 2 out of 3 times and Michigan 2 out of 3 times.

And look at this Wisconsin is turning it on and starting to dominate Marshall. Poor start, but Marshall hasn't scored since there were 13 minutes left in the 2nd while Wisconsin has scored 31 and is going for another.

[sweetness34]

40-7 Illinois. Eastern is garbage though.

GB just owned you. Plus, the fact that you're a PSU fan saying a team doesn't fare well against the upper tier of the Big 10 is humorous.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

Go OHIO go!!!!!!!!

[Shane P. Hallam]

Well, OSU's RG clearly was holding that play. Should have been called. I want OSU to win this one legit, or go down trying.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Mo Wells is terrible. Falls down if you look at him

Been saying that for three years myself. I'm surprised Saine hasn't been more successful though, but this game I think cements Herron as Beanie's heir apparent.

[kwilk103]

can someone explain to me, why everyone is saying it WONT be an upset if ecu wins?

seriously, im trying to understand; holtz (granted its his son), and mark may (pitt grad, but is usually fair to wvu) said ecu is MORE talented than wvu

someone explain this to more; i dont think i've ever seen this before

Because your team is overrated and is not a top ten team.

[BeerBaron]

more credence to my NCAA conspiracy....they know USC-OSU will be that much less epic if one of the teams is coming off of a loss to freaking Ohio

[WhoDeyCWO]

Even if OSU scores, Ohio still has time(which could be good or bad for them.)

[Sniper]

Been saying that for three years myself. I'm surprised Saine hasn't been more successful though, but this game I think cements Herron as Beanie's heir apparent.

Heir, not aire. But yeah, good point. I thought Saine was supposed to be the second coming.

Well, OSU's RG clearly was holding that play. Should have been called. I want OSU to win this one legit, or go down trying.

It's not going to happen. They won't let Ohio win @ OSU a week before USC.

[BeerBaron]

It's not going to happen. They won't let Ohio win @ OSU a week before USC.

Exactly........

I also bet OSU doesn't drop in the rankings. They so should....oh so should.......if anything, I bet they somehow go up so the NCAA can tout it a 1 v 2 in the nation.

[P-L]

Sam McGuffie is exciting too watch. Michigan QB's are not.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Well, Saine did look decent on the last drive. They are two different runners, could be a good 1-2 punch.

[Sniper]

Sam McGuffie is exciting too watch. Michigan QB's are not.

McGuffie's killing it out there. Sweet extra point Lopata. Who do you think you are, Ryan Pretorious or something?

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Dante Harden is the reason Ohio is doing this, not Boo "What is a completion" Jackson.

[kwilk103]

whens he gonna hurdle a lber?

[draftguru151]

I really don't like GT running this offense. I think it's going to be hard for them to get guys to come in and play in it and it really isn't helping these guys for the pros, especially not Dwyer.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

OSU's D is just blowing too many assignments.

[Sniper]

whens he gonna hurdle a lber?

He's waiting for James Laurinaitis.

[BeerBaron]

Dante Harden is the reason Ohio is doing this, not Boo "What is a completion" Jackson.

Jackson running around like an idiot was what got Ohio into the game at the end of the first half at least....

plus that fro thing he's got going in pretty cool looking, lol

[BeerBaron]

damn.......thats probably game right there.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Freeman and Laurinaitis, a match made in heaven!

[draftguru151]

Tristen Davis (Auburn's 3rd RB) just made Gerald McRath look foolish in the open field.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Jackson running around like an idiot was what got Ohio into the game at the end of the first half at least....

Yep. And we have always struggled against rushing QBs (see Michael Robinson, Juice, etc).

Harden has done a lot, but Boo's legs have set it up very well.

[Sniper]

Freeman and Laurinaitis, a match made in heaven!

What happened?

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

INT off the deflection.

[Sniper]

INT off the deflection.

Oh another ******** lucky ass INT for Laurinaitis? What else is new?

[Shane P. Hallam]

Exactly........

I also bet OSU doesn't drop in the rankings. They so should....oh so should.......if anything, I bet they somehow go up so the NCAA can tout it a 1 v 2 in the nation.

Haha, I'll believe you if OSU goes up. Until then, it just isn't really possible for a huge conspiracy to go down for the NCAA, lol. To have refs, high officials, etc. involved, it'd leak. And they would have done a poor job in the past setting up NC games, lol.

[kwilk103]

Oh another ******** lucky ass INT for Laurinaitis? What else is new?

fwiw, he was beat on the play

[BeerBaron]

wow....that Ohio corner got waaaaay up there. hell of a vertical
