ATT Uverse doesn't have CSTV.

Bummer..

Matthean · 11-14-2009, 07:09 PM

'Bama looks to remind themselves they are a running team. McElroy looks much better because of it and 'Bama is up 14-0.

BishopMVP · 11-14-2009, 07:10 PM

ND-Pitt in prime time. Time to see if ND is as bad as everyone hopes they are.

BishopMVP · 11-14-2009, 07:10 PM

Oh yeah, and TCU goes up 7-0, causes a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and misses a chip-shot FG.

BishopMVP · 11-14-2009, 07:25 PM

BS roughing the punter call on ND (i could see running into, but he was going wide until the pitt lineman fell into his leg) extends the Pitt drive, leads to an early FG. 3-0 Panthers.

Utah ties it up 7-7, TCU ball at the Utah 20.

BishopMVP · 11-14-2009, 07:38 PM

TCU scores, blocks a punt, scores, up 21-7. LSU having a weak game against Tech. Tech went for it 4th and goal with 2 seconds left, scored the TD to go up 13-10 at halftime.

RainMaker · 11-14-2009, 07:39 PM

TCU looking strong. That defense is fun to watch and Hughes is a beast.

Matthean · 11-14-2009, 07:52 PM

TCU up 35-7 with 11:40 left in the 2nd.

Maybe they knew something and figured they wouldn't want to embarrass Utah on national television?

RainMaker · 11-14-2009, 08:13 PM

TCU threw a pick in the end zone. Surprised it took so long for Utah to attack the man coverage deep. Announcers just mentioned that Texas Tech has pussed out of next year's scheduled game. Waiting for the college football scheduling gurus to come in and tell us how easy it is for these schools to schedule big name teams.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 08:37 PM

Oh, man. The little man, #22 cut inside instead of outside... might have been the same result but a higher % of breaking it open. Oh, well. Another first down for LA Tech.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 08:40 PM

Feisty little LA Tech'ers. Giving it there all against LSU tonight.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 08:49 PM

GO LT! Big third down stop needed here!!! 3rd and 16.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 08:50 PM

OH, MY! ALMOST A PICK 6. The DB had a great break on it but couldn't come up with the pick... oh, mannnnnn....

Jarrett Lee did not look good at all on that drive..

JonInMiddleGA · 11-14-2009, 08:53 PM

UGAg goes in front of Auburn 24-17 on a TD run by C. King after a long pass completion to T. King (AJ Green was injured early in the game) ... Auburn runs the ensuing kickoff back 99 yds to tie it at 24 with about 14 mins left.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 08:54 PM

Third hold in LA Tech's last five offensive plays.. the oline is getting tired, I can imagine.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 09:01 PM

Lee overthrowing all his receivers.. and just got a break(pass interference, good call) before having to punt the ball away again. Penalty on La Tech for a first down LSU. Bummer.

JonInMiddleGA · 11-14-2009, 09:07 PM

Auburn throws another pick, Georgia takes advantage with 39 yds on 4 rushes & leads 31-24 with 7 mins & change left in regulation.

What a run by Graham in the Pitt/ND game.. Wow, wow. The QB even helped out on that run down field.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 09:19 PM

20-3 and things looking bleak for Weiss' boys.

cougarfreak · 11-14-2009, 09:24 PM

Say what you want.......Weis has balls. 4th and 1 from this own 39, and he goes deep.

Celeval · 11-14-2009, 09:24 PM

Georgia S Rambo makes a huge hit to knock a ball incomplete that would have been the tying Auburn touchdown with 1:16 left, but has been down on the turf for over five minutes now - putting him on a gurney, looksl ike he was probably knocked out at the hit.

JonInMiddleGA · 11-14-2009, 09:39 PM

Second time today there's been a scary moment in an SEC game. No matter my feelings about Georgia, hopefully this one will end up with the same good news as the Lamarcus Thompson injury in the UT game earlier. Late word on that was that all tests were negative & he was cleared to return to Knoxville with the team, not even an overnight hospital stay for observation required.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:00 PM

And BOOM, Notre Dame makes it interesting with 7 minutes to go.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:07 PM

No way they overturn this.. it's a catch.

miami_fan · 11-14-2009, 10:11 PM

Pitt is starting to tighten up.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:17 PM

Oh, boy.

They used a timeout when they needed to save it in case they don't convert. So now it's either first down or game over.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:19 PM

Wait a second. No way that is the right call in any circumstance.

miami_fan · 11-14-2009, 10:19 PM

Wow. I did not expect that call.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:21 PM

Shouldn't they get their time out back then...

Wow, that was horrible, IMO.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:22 PM

And horrible calls continue to be a huge factor in this year's college football games.

I still don't get it, considering they blew the play dead..

Celeval · 11-14-2009, 10:24 PM

Hrm. I'm with Brent & Kirk, I don't think that was a fumble.

henry296 · 11-14-2009, 10:24 PM

Recent changes to replay rules allow fumble recoveries if it is obvious who recovered even if original ruling was down or incomplete.

I do agree, that seems like an odd reversal, but I think you could view it as an "empty hand" and the ball was coming lose.

bhlloy · 11-14-2009, 10:25 PM

Wow ND got screwed. I really don't like where replay is going now, what happened to indisputible evidence?

If they were going to lose probably best case scenario for Charlie. Nice comeback and a bad call away from maybe driving to tie the game against a good team.

Swaggs · 11-14-2009, 10:25 PM

Probably better off for the Big East to see Pitt win. Hopefully, Notre Dame will lose out, so that they don't poach the Gator Bowl (they can't be selected over an eligible team from the Big East if they are 6-6). Pitt's o-line impressed me and they have a couple of elite skill players.

I think UConn will give Notre Dame all that it can handle. I'll be interested in seeing what the spread on that game will be.

mauchow · 11-14-2009, 10:25 PM

Not only was it not a fumble, the play was ruled dead before the Pitt player picked it up so there should have been no obvious 'Who recovered the ball.."

I'm baffled. Truly baffled.

Rules allow continuence if the ball is on the ground for whoever recovers. If it was a scrum, might be a tougher decision, but it was obvious the Pitt guy was the one picking it up.

That was a horrid call.

Swaggs · 11-14-2009, 10:26 PM

Agreed on the replay. It sure seems like the replay officials have been messing up a lot of seemingly clear calls in the past few weeks (both in the NFL and college).

I would put that in the "right call, terrible rule" category. I am pretty sure that they recently changed the rule to allow them to review that type of play. It does look and feel awkward though.

The emphasis really seems to have switched from "is there indisputible evidence to overturn" to "what do I think happened" in the last few weeks. If that is going to be what happens I'd rather do away with replay

Galaril · 11-14-2009, 10:35 PM

Wow Oregon is destroying Arizona St 30-7 with 8 minutes left in the 2nd.

Celeval · 11-14-2009, 10:36 PM

What a HIT in the OSU-TT game, that just let Texas Tech back into it.

Swaggs · 11-14-2009, 10:38 PM

I wonder if Cincy will get any extra credit from voters if they win out and Oregon State, who Cincy beat on the road, wins out to take the Pac 10.

Celeval · 11-14-2009, 10:38 PM

1:38 left, OSU up 7 with the ball inside the red zone, TT with no timeouts left - OSU's QB has a good angle on the outside heading for the end zone, and gets absolutely pasted. Both players still down after that hit, but the ball went loose and TT recovers with a chance to drive for the tie.

Swaggs · 11-14-2009, 10:57 PM

Looking things over, it was not a good week to be ranked between 9 and 17. Losers include:

#9 USC
#10 Iowa
#14 Miami
#15 Houston
#16 Utah
#17 Arizona

#13 Oregon looks like they will be fine, as they are winning big over ASU early. #11 Ohio State (who beat #10 Iowa) and #12 Pitt were the only other survivors. That's a big chunk of the rankings to go down. Teams in the high teens and 20s, that won, could climb a whole lot.

RainMaker · 11-14-2009, 11:29 PM

Would have been interesting if OSU lost to TT. Texas wouldn't have had a win over a top 25 team.
