Interception by SC on a bad throw, good return, they'll be first & goal.

Tigercat · 10-18-2008, 09:24 PM

And yes there is still that mess at QB.

Maybe Tennessee & LSU could work out a trade, sort of like swapping long relievers with ERA's of around 6.37?

And South Carolina might be willing to make it a three way swap, after watching their QB fumbled the snap on 3rd & goal at the 1 yd line (even if he did recover his own fumble).

Nebraska tried to go from an option offense into a pro style offense in one season and we all know how well that went.

Michigan in a bad year can put together a top 25 recruiting class. RR can't take that type of talent and squeeze out anything better than what looks to be a max 4 win season? Really? Loses to Utah and Toledo at home and a mere 10 victory against Miami(OH)? As I posted previously in last weeks thread, Michigan has lost that kind of talent recently and came away with at worst a 7 win season. I really can't want for the RR backers to be looking at a possible 3 win season and trying to blame it solely on Michigan's sudden lack of talent.

The problem is the players executing. we look unstoppable a handful of series a game then it falls apart. Yes Rich has been bad but the players have been awful.

I think one day J. Lee could be a great QB, he has all the tools. But he is as green as a RS Freshman QB can be, so its hard to know if he will ever fully develop. Right now he has moments of greatness surrounded by lots of poor play.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2008, 09:37 PM

Tennessee gets a 72 yd pick six from Eric Berry to go up 20-3 in the 4th. That gives Berry 397 career interception return yards, a new SEC record.

Scouth Carolina gets a questionable TD (in? not in?) on 4th & goal from the 1 to go up 17-10 over LSU late in the 1st half.

And VaTech gets a 55 yd pick six to pull back within 21-17 just before halftime.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2008, 09:37 PM

And in other news, Missouri gets a FG to start their comeback. 35-3 Texas at the half.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2008, 09:41 PM

32 yd INT return by Demetrius Morley for another TD, Vols leads 27-3.

And BC gets a quick score to go back up by two scores, 28-17 less than 1 min left in the first half.

MizzouRah · 10-18-2008, 09:43 PM

We are getting our asses handed to us, but what an awful pass interference call when it was 14-0 and we actually started to put a drive together.

Texas is damn good though... oh and our defense is horrible..

MJ4H · 10-18-2008, 09:50 PM

Arkansas with 1st and goal at the 3 up 17-7 in the 4th quarter.

MJ4H · 10-18-2008, 09:55 PM

Settled for a FG because of a TD negating penalty. 20-7 with under 10 to go.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2008, 10:07 PM

Tennessee tacks on another score with a fairly short but steady drive on the ground. 34-3 with about two minutes left.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2008, 10:41 PM

Good grief, wish I had noticed this game earlier (and had seen the first quarter).

4 minutes to go, it's 63-35 Tulsa over UTEP, it was 28-28 at the end of the first.

edit to add: My bad. That was 4 minutes left in the third quarter, now 70-35. The game is on CBSCS by the way.

Just be thankful that Missouri isn't in the Big XII South. They'd be battling it out for 5th place.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2008, 10:59 PM

Tulsa goes for it on 4th down from the 3, gets a procedure call, goes for it again from the 8 and scores. 77-35 with 8:51 left. First one I didn't have a problem with, after the false start though ... well, seems like overdoing it a little bit to me. They've got the full 2nd unit in there but maybe that was time to get the backup kicker some live action instead.

Tigercat · 10-18-2008, 11:36 PM

Well now, the LSU defensive coordinators come back from halftime and coach their best half of football all year. Small step in the right direction, will be interesting to see what we can do at home against UGA.

Sadly, probably destroy them. The O-line is in really bad shape at this point. A really good front is going to kill them.

I'm going to take a wild guess & figure you mean Arkansas v Kentucky.
And it was actually a 20-7 lead with under 5 minutes to go.

4th quarter possessions for Arkansas
Start UK 48 - 5 plays 11 yards: Punt
Start AR 41 - 1 play 0 yard: Fumble
Start AR 17 - 3 plays -5 yards: Punt
Start AR 13 - 4 plays -8 yards: Interception

Meanwhile UK scores in 0:41 (2 plays 41 yards) & 0:29 (2 plays 35 yards).

Dr. Sak · 10-19-2008, 12:05 AM

It felt great after being in Ann Arbor for the 2005 & 2007 games for Penn State to run it up a little on Michigan.

Always throws an INT at the worst possible time.

Actually the 4th quarter INT was on 4th & 18 from his own 5 after they trailed.

The killing blows look like a D'Anthony Curtis fumble at his own 41 and then the 3-and-out followed by a 37 yd punt that gave UK the ball in Arkansas territory to start the game-winning drive. 'Course letting Hartline go 4-4 for 76 yds & 2 TD's in the final 4:47 didn't help matters either.

Correction. They always seem to play Texas tough in the first half.

Vegas Vic · 10-19-2008, 12:35 AM

There's a good game on Fox Sports right now. Arizona leads Cal 35-27 late in the 3rd quarter.

And on the Mountain Network, UNLV leads Air Force 28-26, early in the 4th quarter.

The South is scary for sure...

Last week killed me.. this week wasn't as much wear emotionally as last week was.

I still love my Tigers though and can't wait to watch more Big XII action next week.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2008, 01:51 AM

GT's win today makes them 6-1 for the first time since 1999. They finished 8-4.
The last 6-1 start before that was 1990.

Given the rest of their schedule I don't think 8-4 would be bad at all. I mean, Virginia, FSU, Miami and hell maybe North Carolina are so jekyl and hyde that perhaps an optimist could see 9-3 or even 10-2, but I would really be thrilled to have this team go 8-4.

This game was the first all year where PSU had their backs against the wall a little bit. Important to see them rebound a little bit when the opposing team doesn't roll over and die in the 1st quarter and puts up resistance.

Hopefully, this (combined with tOSU's throttling of MSU) will serve as the effective wake-up call for next week.

I'm glad Johnson doing well. I hope he has success there. Well, just enough success that they win the ACC and lose to UGA every year, but success.

You look at those four and say "Virgina-win, North Carolina-win, Miami-possible win, FSU-probable win." But then, like you said, who the heck knows? The ACC is insane this year.

So a bunch of folks from the DFW chapter of the UTEP Alumni Association made the trip up to Tulsa. I decided instead to stay at home and spend some time with my wife since this is the first weekend off I've had in about six weeks.

I think I made the right choice. God, the ride home after the game had to have been miserable for them...

For some reason the idea of a "Real Men of Genius" spot with those guys flashed through my mind when reading this. I don't think I could even begin to do it justice but it has some potential.

I'm more worried about the road game at UNC than the home game vs Miami, though with Tate done for the year maybe I shouldn't be.

Next week vs a Virginia team that has come alive big time will be very interesting.

You know, you'd think we would be upset by things like this, but honestly, we're used to it.

On a side note, I have Maryland season tickets, so I was at the game yesterday. It was freaking quiet. The band wasn't playing as much as it usually does, there wasn't as much noise coming from the student section. Just felt like the energy wasn't there. For now, I'm blaming it on the noon games, but I can attest that the EMU game was a lot more...noisy than the Wake Forest game, though I think they were both noon kickoffs.

Well, I wouldn't say that Texas "destroyed" Oklahoma, but I do think the argument he makes is bogus. It always seems when a group of teams have great offenses its attributed to bad defense. When teams have bad offenses (SEC), it's always great defense. Big 12 has great offenses this season almost across the board, so he better get used to high scores.

timmynausea · 10-19-2008, 05:53 PM

I think I've got a nominee for the Pontiac Game-Changing performance this week: A really nice hit by the Ref on the South Carolina QB. It's rare that you see an official step up and make a big play like this.

WTF?

Am I completely insane, or did that ref intentionally go out of his way to lay a hit on the QB?

He closes on him, gets squared up and accelerates into the hit. Should've wrapped him up, though - a better runner might've kept his balance.

I think I saw that live and it didn't look as bad as it does on replay. Or else I just wasn't paying as much attention to any replays at the time.
