Jesus, what a catch in the S. Carolina game

JonInMiddleGA · 09-02-2010, 09:35 PM

Connor Shaw gets his first career TD pass for South Carolina, the rout is in full gear over Sou Miss, 41-6 with 8 mins left.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-02-2010, 09:47 PM

Georgia State attendance tonight: 30,327
Braves attendance tonight: 24,895

RedKingGold · 09-02-2010, 10:10 PM

I don't know who these Versus announcers are for the Pitt-Utah game, but they really, really suck.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-02-2010, 10:10 PM

Go Hawaii

Lathum · 09-02-2010, 10:19 PM

USC made that look pretty easy

I think Hawaii plays on emotion and keeps it close and USC wears them down and pulls away in the second half. I loaded up on the -21, I think people underestimate the chip USC has on their shoulder.

Dr. Sak · 09-02-2010, 10:42 PM

Way to ice the kicker again dumbass

I'd prefer Hawaii play on defense, emotion ain't tackling nor covering for shit.

Yeah, I don't usually bet on them, but I put a very nice bet on the -21 as well. This USC team is pissed off and is going to play with a lot of fire this year.

I'm pretty sure the PxP guy is Joe Beninati. As Dr. Sak said, Beninati calls Caps games locally and national games on Versus.

Dr. Sak · 09-02-2010, 10:51 PM

If Pitt loses this game, you have to blame Wanny for wussing out and running the ball on 3rd and 10 when they were inside the 20 late in the game.

Of course, if they throw and Tino gets picked or sacked people blame Wanny for that. I'll just give credit where credit is due - the Utes outplayed us by just enough to get the win.

Dr. Sak · 09-02-2010, 10:56 PM

This loss aside, I think Pitt wins the Big East.

Honestly I thought you guys had the momentum and with two tall guys like Baldwin and Shanahan...why not take a shot downfield? You tell Tino beforehand throw the ball away instead of being sacked.

You're right, he would be seconded guessed either way but I've never been a fan of playing for a tie.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-02-2010, 11:01 PM

The 21 points is looking good.

yacovfb · 09-02-2010, 11:02 PM

Yeah, but we were taking shots on first and second down...just the pressure forced Tino to check down. I probably would have passed on third down too, but I'm not really mad about that call. Ah well, I was pretty 50-50 on our chances coming in and it was a damn close one. Lots of work to do if we want to take down Miami in a few weeks.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-02-2010, 11:02 PM

Did USC's kicker get hurt in pre-game or something?

Don't know. I understood the early attempt, they have been practicing a ton of trick 2 point plays and wanted to put some thoughts out there. And the 2nd one was obvious since the first failed, but that one surprised me.

Lathum · 09-02-2010, 11:42 PM

This just in

USC kicked an extra point

8 more warmups before going to Alabama.

Kodos · 09-02-2010, 11:47 PM

I know it was only Towson, but it was nice watching Indiana beat them by a large margin. In the past, we've struggled at times against similar teams. Our defense gave up a couple of big plays to them for scores. Doesn't bode well for when we're playing our conference games.

BishopMVP · 09-02-2010, 11:51 PM

Should be a Touchdown. 27-19/20.

TCY Junkie · 09-02-2010, 11:51 PM

I love watching that pitt rb but I think HA could have came up with a defensive game plan to beat pitt tonight.

DanGarion · 09-02-2010, 11:54 PM

I love Mark Matt Barkley!

BishopMVP · 09-03-2010, 12:00 AM

Officials confusing me already. First in Utah/Pitt giving no signal on the first ninja timeout (although that could be partly Versus's fault), and now they rule that there wasn't enough evidence to say Hawaii's Salas made it in, and double the confusion by using the touchdown signal to signify how far away he was.

mckerney · 09-03-2010, 12:05 AM

Poor showing by Minnesota tonight, but thankfully when playing a team like MTSU they can play like that and still come out with the W. They definitely missed their 2 starting safeties, but they may both be back by next game. The running game was a lot better this year, hopefully the passing and kicking games can get things together by next week.

bhlloy · 09-03-2010, 12:17 AM

Well, this is what happens when you start 3 guys in the secondary who basically have never seen a college snap before, and don't have any tackling for the majority of fall camp. SC could well lose this in the second half if the offense isn't perfect.

The big disappointment is the d-line not being able to get any pressure against a pretty poor offensive line and the linebackers not being able to stop anything at the LOS. These are veteran guys who should be better.

At least they can if that team is missing its starting QB.

MTSU isn't a bad program. While you guys could have played better, a road win against them is still a good thing. MTSU is not a cupcake by any means.

JeeberD · 09-03-2010, 12:26 AM

Go 'Bows!

JeeberD · 09-03-2010, 12:34 AM

Well, shit. Nice tackling, 'Bows...

MrBug708 · 09-03-2010, 12:46 AM

Hawaii is really good

bhlloy · 09-03-2010, 12:52 AM

That noise you heard was Chip Kelly ejaculating all over his TV set. I think I might just skip the Oregon game this year if this is what Hawaii can do to us.

jbergey22 · 09-03-2010, 12:52 AM

USC defense is horseshit.

jbergey22 · 09-03-2010, 01:04 AM

Impressive looking offense though.

Kudos to MTSU.

Seriously, though, it was just weird to see MTSU references in this thread.

With all due respect to Hawaii, no it's not. The WR's have now dropped 5 easy passes for at least 100-150 yards in additional offense and at least 2 more scores. Nearly every downfield throw that the first QB made should/could have been picked, but the USC defender wasn't even looking at the ball. The run game should have been non-existent. Haven't seen a good downfield block by a lineman all game.

This is just the worst defense I have ever seen take the field at a major college program taking a 200 yard offensive night and turning it into 600+ because they can't tackle for shit. Any offense can take a bunch of screen plays and 8 yard dump offs and look good if the other team misses multiple tackles on every single play.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-03-2010, 01:22 AM

I think he was saying USC's offense looks impressive which I think it has tonight.

bhlloy · 09-03-2010, 01:25 AM

Oops... Yeah it has. Couldn't be more impressed with Barkley and Rojo. That is the silver lining. Going to be a ton of shootouts this year

Eaglesfan27 · 09-03-2010, 01:40 AM

Very happy for Marc Tyler.

Chief Rum · 09-03-2010, 01:43 AM

Is that announcer really talking up Mike Garrett right now?

Chief Rum · 09-03-2010, 01:47 AM

Fun "food for thought"--UCLA runs this same offense UH is running.
