College Football Gameday--September 23, 2006

[POJO_Risin]

Well...not the matchups of last week...but some interesting games nonethe less...

let's get started...

[POJO_Risin]

OSU in a dogfight right now with PSU...

it's one of those games where you get a feeling a mistake in the fourth quarter is going to decide the game...

OSU driving right now...

Gotta Love Big 10 football...

[POJO_Risin]

Texas is up on Iowa State...30-14 right now...that was a bit of a game for awhile...

[POJO_Risin]

Cal is blowing out an overrated Arizona State...but considering Cal is overrated...or was...I figured this would be a better game...

[POJO_Risin]

West Virginia beating a brick wall right now with East Carolina...

14-7...with two minutes left in the half...

[POJO_Risin]

Okay...we'll find out if the OSU "media darling" theory works...

so far, I've watched ESPN and ABC essentially hammer them...that they would have lost to a good team (which is true...by the way)...

if they truly are media darlings...that's not what the focus of the discussions will be...

[POJO_Risin]

Boy...Alabama tied with Arkansas...

looks like they are going to win...

[POJO_Risin]

Flutie comes out and says "between West Virginia and Louisville, there will be an undefeated team."

I agree...and think WVU will be that team...

but wow...Louisville loses their starting QB and RB...and keeps on rolling...

what a job...

I gotta take a Hog win anyway I can, but damn. We're barely getting by while they learn the new offense, but Mustain showed why he's the future of the program by pulling that one out after 3 interceptions.

How come him to throw the 3 picks though? Tough being a true freshman QB in Div. 1. Stafford of Georgia looked like shit. Colorado, who had lost to 1-AA Montana St., had the bulldogs down 13-0. Georgia's 3rd string QB came in and won the game.

The freshman at Florida, Tebow, looks pretty good but he's in a better situation team-wise. Less pressure on him since Leak's still the guy there.

And if Alabama had a kicker . . .

[diamondD]

No doubt about the kicker, but the Hogs finally got a break to go their way.


Bama's DC Joe Kines said after the game that they had Mustain right where they wanted him and he still pulled that pass out of his back pocket.

MM's a true freshman that is 3-0 and the first 2-0 start in the SEC since Nutt's first year. I'm excited about the prospects of the next couple of years for a change.

I think if SC had played well on offense and embarrassed Arizona, they had a shot to move up this week in the polls. The offense just looks awful, although I think we found a tailback in Moody. It's cool they kept that 20-point NCAA record streak going at 55 though.

Fuck if we only had this defense last year!!!

[POJO_Risin]

Have they played anyone with an offense yet?

I agree...I think their Defense has looked very good...

but I don't know that they've played anyone that's had the ability to exploit them...

[Brett]

Well Nebraska's put up at least 49 on everyone else...yeah loser teams, but they can score it seems.

The front 7 is solid, it's the secondary, but nobody's been able to exploit it yes.

[POJO_Risin]

I forgot about Nebraska...

decent indicator...

a bit overrated...but they DO have offense...

[Brett]

They also had a retarded game plan against SC, trying to run that much. The only TD they scored they actually threw the ball. I didn't realize that Arizona had -16 yards rushing yesterday....LOL wow.

[POJO_Risin]

Is Arizona the team that's coached by a Stoops?

or someone related to Stoops?

[Brett]

Yeah Mike Stoops.

[POJO_Risin]

Glad that's working out for them...;)

[Brett]

What's funny is they're better than they were.

[POJO_Risin]

What happened to the days when Arizona had that lock down Defense every year...and was a top 20 threat?

[Brett]

What happened? A decade went by. :)

[POJO_Risin]

and they hired the shitty Stoops...
