BC back up 10 24-14, UMass gets the ball back early 4th at their own 10.

[cartman]

Texas answers Kansas State's TD, tied up 7-7 in the 1st quarter.

Chiles has looked good for the Texas O in his Tim Tebow style role.

[BishopMVP]

UMass misses a FG, still down 10. Backup QB in, 15 penalties committed, an ongoing problem the past few years.

[larrymcg421]

Sadly, UMass blows a great drive by missing a field goal. BC still up 24-14 with 8:22 left.

[Celeval]

Game of momentum in GT-Clemson early - GT QB Taylor Bennett gets his foot stepped on on the first play and turns it over, which Clemson turns into 3 points... three dropped passes by Tech receivers, and 25 penalty yards on 4 penalties in the first 10 minutes.

Then a blocked Clemson punt recovered inside the ten, the Clemson CB gets flagged for PI in the end zone, and Tech has first and goal at the 2.

[Celeval]

Oh, and an update from last week - Correy Earls, the GT wide receiver who was on the ground for so long last week at Virginia has recovered very well. UVa Medical Center did a great job (and earned some great comments from Gailey + the GT staff, as did Coach Groh), the injury was essentially pretty severe whiplash, and Earls was back in class on Monday. He'll probably be back on the field in a few weeks.

[Celeval]

TD Choice, who has looked good early (with a couple 10+ yard runs called back for illegal formation penalties earlier). 7-3 GT

[larrymcg421]

Miami (OH) up 7-0 on Syracuse in the 2nd quarter. Syracuse offense is struggling against a real team.

[Schmidty]

Spartans are for real baby.

Watch out Big Ten.

[Karlifornia]

Maryland up on Rutgers 7-3

[BishopMVP]

BC wins 24-14. Silly penalties killing us again, but at least we can lay off the Matt Ryan for Heisman talk for a week.

[TroyF]

Colorado is dominating Oklahoma in the second half. Total yards are 176 to 53. One play after missing a FG, the CU defense gets an INT. CU ball at the OU 43 yard line. 24-`7 OU, 6:43 or so left in the game.

Good deal. Thanks for the info.

And now OU fumbles a punt return. Colorado ball.

[TroyF]

CU goes three and out (a penalty nullified a third down conversion) Punt to OU, the OU player doesn't call a fair catch and drops it. CU ball at the 12.

[TroyF]

TD CU

[cartman]

Colorado ties up OU!

[cartman]

Ugh. K-State D lineman jumps to block a pass, gets the INT for a pick 6.

[timmynausea]

Great game between CU and OU. I really hate that Dane Cook baseball commercial, though. What a douchebag that guy is.

[TroyF]

Taz,

If you haven't watched any of the game til now, you have no idea how sweet that play was. CU has been running this strange formation play all day. Thge backs sit in an I formation behind one of the tackles. A CU WR goes in motion and fakes a reverse while CU hands the ball to the tail back on a goofy looking counter play. The play has carved up OU for most of the game.

This time they faked the handoff and threw the ball down the field. TD CU. 24-24 with 4:05 left to play in the game.

I'm REALLY going ot love having Cody Hawkins for four years. He's a better QB than Koy Detmer was. He's so rail thin I just hope he can stay healthy. Great game for the Buffs either way, but I sure hope they pull off the upset here.

[Karlifornia]

Cal and Oregon in a war of attrition....

[terpkristin]

I have no reason to expect that the Terps will keep it up, but the score is Maryland 14 - Rutgers 3 late in the 2nd quarter.

/tk

[Karlifornia]

How can the refs overturn that call in the OU/CU game?

[TroyF]

not a clue. The one angle looked like incomplete, the other looked fine. Should be OU first down. CU makes a stop thouh. OU forced to punt.

[TroyF]

CU returns the ball to the 50 on the punt.

CU ball, 3:00 or so left in the game.

[k0ruptr]

go Colorado. Hawaii game starting in 10 mins.

[TroyF]

Hawkins completes a pass to the OU 40. 2 minutes left.

[TroyF]

actually 35. 1:30 left, clock running. 2nd and 10

[TroyF]

CU runs it to the 28. 45 seconds left. In FG range.

[JonInMiddleGA]

And Texas ties KSU 14-14.

edit: Woot ! 85 yd KOR for a TD, 21-14 K-State.

[Karlifornia]

Colorado just resigned themselves to a FG attempt from 40+...I think that's a poor coaching decision right there...at least try to get in a bit closer.

[TroyF]

OU makes a stop. It'll be the CU kicker for the GW FG. 45 or 46 yarder for the game. If he misses, it's going to OT. Only 2 seconds left in the game.

[TroyF]

CU WINS, CU WINS, CU WINS

[cartman]

FG Buffs!

That takes a bit of the sting out of Texas tying the game up, then giving up a return for a TD on the kickoff.

[Karlifornia]

USC laughs in the face of anyone who voted OK #1.

Better start readying the nooses all across Oklahoma. They have a bright future, though.

Colorado with a "signature win" (god I hate that cliche)

[Buccaneer]

Unbelievable win for the Buffs. With the Bulls winning last night and the Buffs beating the high and mighty Sooners (snicker), this is a good week for college fb. Now if the Pads can win, everything would be perfect today.

Heh. Unless my ears deceived me, the ABC announcers on the GT-Clemson game just used that very phrase.

So true. I work with a huge Oklahoma fan who has been telling me all of the reasons that Oklahoma is better than USC for the last 2 weeks.. I can't wait for work on Monday

Yep. I don't disagree, but if there was ever a cliche fit for a game, this is it.

Just an FYI for those not familiar with the CU program: CU has more FR and SO getting quality time than ND. This includes 3 of the five OL, the QB, 2 of the top 3 WR, the backup RB, and plenty of guys on the defensive side of the ball.

It's just one win and the program still has to build off of it, but WHAT A WIN. The future looks very, very good.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Another INT leads to a KSU field goal jsut before the half, 24-14 now.

Meanwhile Clemson has put together a nice steady drive down the field, under a minute in the half but they're threatening to retake the lead over GT (still 7-3 Jackets at the moment).

[SnDvls]

Good win for Colorado...helps ASU's s.o.s. and people can stop call it an easy win over them.

[Noop]

Wow now I feel better about that win against Colorado.

[cartman]

Texas down 10 at the half. KSU looks like they spent their two weeks preparing for this game well. Texas has been a great second half team this season. They will need to answer, as they get the second half kickoff. McCoy took a big hit on that last INT, so it remains to be seen if he will be starting the second half.

[terpkristin]

And there it goes, 2 Rutgers TD's in the last 3 minutes of the first half.

Steffy seems to be hurt again, but I don't have the volume on so I don't know if it's serious.

Damn Terps.

That's what I was thinking. Of course, that feeling is probably only going to last for the next hour or two.

[Cuckoo]

Boy, really tough loss for OU. It just looked like a different team out there. They had no fire at all, were dropping balls left and right and made mistake after mistake. Just unreal...

[Celeval]

Clemson has missed two FGs in the first half - Tech still leads 7-3. The Clemson offense rolled pretty well on a very long drive right up to the end of the half, but a Spiller TD was called back for a personal foul, and the FG was missed.

Wow... and I was all pissed when I saw the score like 5 minutes before halftime!

So true.

[duckman]

Fucking Reggie Smith! Now we know why you play on defense!

All I kept hearing on the local sports talk radio show this week was that there was no way that CU scores more than 13 on OU's defense. This had trap game written all over it and nobody saw it. I felt like I was the only one thinking that in the entire state.

The only thing that can slightly brighten my day now is that K-State can pull off the upset against Texas. *sigh*
