Well yes, then that does hurt heh. CMU is gonna do some things this year. Arizona has an amazingly fast D and held them in check last week but they're too good to have been held down two weeks in a row.

Young Drachma · 09-12-2009, 03:07 PM

Minute to go in the 1st Quarter, still 3-0 Texas at Wyoming.

Karlifornia · 09-12-2009, 03:11 PM

I have a feeling this UM/ND game will be a barnburner, making both teams look better than they are. They're both 8 win teams that might be disguised as 10 win teams based on circumstances (ie, their schedules)

Atocep · 09-12-2009, 03:13 PM

Jarrett Brown's arm is ridiculous. Fun player to watch.

M GO BLUE!!! · 09-12-2009, 03:14 PM

Genius.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 03:15 PM

Great first drive by UCLA. Kind of a victory for Tennessee to hold them to a FG there, lets hope it continues

dubb93 · 09-12-2009, 03:16 PM

As a guy with no rooting interest in the Michigan/ND game I can say I have absolutely no clue how they overturned that TD there. If anything I think the evidence was more conclusive that he was in fact in bounds(I saw a line of green between his foot and the white on my TV). To overturn the call on the field of TD and say he stepped out of bounds is criminal.

Young Drachma · 09-12-2009, 03:19 PM

Texas tries a fake punt inside the 10 and blows it. Wyoming has the ball inside the 10.

dubb93 · 09-12-2009, 03:21 PM

TD Michigan. Between ND TD's being reversed and Michigan making big plays we may end the BCS talk right now.

RomaGoth · 09-12-2009, 03:22 PM

Kick return for a TD by Michigan....WOW.

Young Drachma · 09-12-2009, 03:22 PM

Then the refs realized they made the wrong call issuing a first down, so it's magically from 1st to 3rd down now. But then, Mountain West officials are pretty terrible.

mauchow · 09-12-2009, 03:23 PM

Yeah, a big turnaround in the UM/ND game. TD called back and Irish settle for three... then UM returns kick for TD. Ouch.

Definitely agree that it should have been insufficient evidence that the runner stepped out of bounds. One said yes said maybe yes, the other said maybe no. Just let it go and move on.

As a Michigan fan who is interested in fairness, I agree.

The genius of RichRod clearly made it out of bounds.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 03:24 PM

Same thing happened on the first drvie of the SDSU game, Mental mistakes on third down

Young Drachma · 09-12-2009, 03:24 PM

3-3 Texas at Wyoming. 11:18 in the 2nd Q

They are going to pay for it as Bryce Brown is looking good early.

Honolulu_Blue · 09-12-2009, 03:29 PM

I'm finding it very hard to listen to Matt Millen. The wounds are too fresh.

Honolulu_Blue · 09-12-2009, 03:30 PM

The UM/ND game has been fun so far, but I don't think Michigan will be able to keep up offensively with Notre Dame. Notre Dame is moving effortlessly every time they have the ball.

Franklin looked better without the aid of penalties. They are staying away from Berry though

Its looking like the first one to 40 wins.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 03:50 PM

Only down 10-3, but no rhythm on offense right now

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 03:56 PM

Holding penalty on a punt return that was a fair catch. And that fair catch happened 20 yards from the nearest defender...

Oy

Young Drachma · 09-12-2009, 04:00 PM

Blocked punt. Touchdown Wyoming. 10-6 Pokes lead.

Atocep · 09-12-2009, 04:03 PM

WVU up 21-13 after having about as bad of a start defensively as you could imagine along with Jock Sanders muffing a punt inside the 5.

Jarrett Brown is 13/16 193yds 3tds with 2:12 to go in the half.

Texas answers (As they should..) should be 13-10 Texas in a second here.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 04:07 PM

TD UCLA!!!

Milton Knox looks scary fast

dfisher · 09-12-2009, 04:10 PM

Houston is dominating Oklahoma State right now. 24-7 at the half.

Chief Rum · 09-12-2009, 04:10 PM

Prince needed this drive to get back under control, although it would be nice to see more long completions from the pocket (that just might not happen today with the kind of pressure UT's bringing).

The good news is, we have Chow, and he already did some plays on this drive that took advantage of Tennessee over-aggressing on the play. Not Kiffin will come back with some counter move (like that corner blitz that caught Knox from behind).

IMO, this game is a lot more interesting when UCLA has the bowl, because that's when those two coordinators are going to war.

M GO BLUE!!! · 09-12-2009, 04:17 PM

CMU beat State?

Somebody better check on Schmidty (hide sharp objects, take his belt, etc.)

It's a nerve racking game. We need to hold them going into half.

My brother joked that it was part of the deal they signed with Wyoming when they came here. But it's okay, we're used to losing, so if we're gonna lose at least it's to a good team. And honestly, this team looks SO much better than they have in the half decade I've been following them.

Firing Joe Glenn was the right thing to do, no doubt about it, as this Christensen guy seems to have them playing better, if nothing else. I dunno if I'm convinced that his offense is all that great yet, but maybe if he gets some players here to run it, it'll look like something in a few years.

larrymcg421 · 09-12-2009, 04:27 PM

Wow, Crompton sucks.

Lathum · 09-12-2009, 04:29 PM

I know it's just Idaho but Locker and the Huskies are looking really good.

It's a great sign that they are beating the teams they should beat.

ISiddiqui · 09-12-2009, 04:31 PM

What exactly is going on in the Big 12 games today? Houston beating down on Oklahoma State 24-7 and Texas only up 13-10 against Wyoming? WTF?

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 04:31 PM

Damn, cant believe he missed that 50 yarder

larrymcg421 · 09-12-2009, 04:32 PM

TCU 21, Virginia 0 at Virginia.

Will Groh even get to finish the season?

BishopMVP · 09-12-2009, 04:32 PM

ND only up 20-17 at halftime with the breaks and special teams going Michigan's way, but like others have said, they look dominant on offense right now.

If Houston beats OK State by 17 or more, do they challenge BYU as the top non-BCS school? Or will they get less notice because despite being #5, it's "only" OK State, and the game isn't nationally televised in prime time. imo, they should come in around 10 if they keep it up, but they'll probably be 18 or 19.

I don't care how automatic a guy is, there's no such thing as an automatic from 50 yards.

What pissed me off prior to that play was finding out how long the kick was. They kept going on and on about Forbath's success with 50 yarders and what not, and no one would actualyl say how long the damn kick was. Stupid freakin' ESPN.

bhlloy · 09-12-2009, 04:33 PM

Shocked how bad Crompton is. I think I probably could have made that one throw over the middle that got picked. Tenn really has nobody better on the bench?

Chief Rum · 09-12-2009, 04:36 PM

I think Crompton and his center, and Prince and Maiava need to get together to do some snap practice.

Sounds exactly like what UCLA fans were saying over and over again last year about Craft. Technically, Prince was in the program last year, but the coaching staff determined not to burn his redshirt at that time.

Lathum · 09-12-2009, 04:38 PM

that didn't take long for Texas

At least it's out of his system

Dr. Sak · 09-12-2009, 04:38 PM

Houston up 24-14 on Oklahoma State.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 04:39 PM

I'm glad Norm Chow agrees with me that when Prince throws his first INT, UCLA loses this game

larrymcg421 · 09-12-2009, 04:43 PM

Oklahoma State punt return TD and theyre only down 24-21 now.
