Big fumble in the Notre Dame- Mich game. Mich needs to capitalize on it.

As a Michigan fan, I'm still holding my tongue due to a certain loss to a Division II team. Saying that, this was Brain Kelly's bunch that he recruited there. He was only there for two years, but had them on the right track even when the team had the smallest amount of seniors in the country, or really close to it. The team was like 75% freshmen and sophomores and he was winning with them. I'm willing to bet any Big Ten coach who puts CMU on their schedule breathed a long sigh of relief when he went to Cincinnati. I have zero doubt he could have built a team there capable of beating anybody in the Big Ten.

Lathum · 09-12-2009, 04:46 PM

UW is getting complacent now. Would be nice to see them put Idaho away.

Lathum · 09-12-2009, 04:48 PM

Is Tulane not back in classes yet? That place looks empty.

You've obviously never followed Tulane football..

Crompton just threw the ball I said last week would be his downfall.

lol. You would think having the #9 team coming in and being on ESPN people would go. There is no one in the endzone.

Yeah, not sure that is really the way to go though. With Brehaut there now and Nottingham on the way, there's only so many blue chip QB's you can have at one time. Somebody will be the odd man out and I think Brehaut's ceiling is a lot higher than Prince's, no?

Lathum · 09-12-2009, 04:59 PM

Explain to me how Gary Patterson is still at TCU?

Young Drachma · 09-12-2009, 04:59 PM

27-10 Texas with 5:47 in the 3rd Quarter.

Atocep · 09-12-2009, 05:03 PM

I really hope Big 12 refs never work another game at Mountaineer field. Some really terrible calls today.

RomaGoth · 09-12-2009, 05:03 PM

Matt Millen is an idiot. Comparing Forcier to Montana? Oy.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 05:08 PM

If we had a QB we'd be up big right now.

If both teams had a QB we'd have this game with more points

I bet that will sit well with the ND fans...

JonInMiddleGA · 09-12-2009, 05:14 PM

2 straight punts where Tennessee runs by the returner with a flailing arm tackle.
UCLA already up by 6 and no sign of a UT offense.

The incrompetent one has returned, along with the ole' offensive line play.

fantom1979 · 09-12-2009, 05:15 PM

I can't believe that Matt Millen had the balls to step foot back into the state of Michigan. It will be a severe injustice if he gets out of the state unscathed.

fantom1979 · 09-12-2009, 05:17 PM

After watching that Michigan State game, I came very close to taking all of my state gear and burning it in the driveway. Year after year it is the same shit. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yeah, hopefully the ND bus will hit him in the parking lot.

Yes, I'm quoting myself. Just remember, this is the guy who when he drafted all of those WRs for the Lions probably thought he was drafting Jerry Rice as well. He might have insight for some of the stuff going on and football knowledge, but talent evaluation? (bust out laughing) Musburger is another one that can overstate stuff to just painful levels to where it's better for me to watch the game without sound on.

And oh, ND, you might want to look into a defense. 31 points from Michigan isn't a good sign for a team looking for a BCS bowl bid.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 05:21 PM

Good thing we have Forbath

Yeah, I think Brehaut's ceiling is higher, but Prince isn't a bad QB. He wasn't rated as high as Brehaut, but he was still one of the better guys available out west in his class. I think the whole Brehaut vs Prince thing is going to be one of those "who the heck knows what's going to happen" sorta things for a while.

Gawd willing, Prince explodes, goes pro after his junior year, and then Brehaut dominates for two seasons after that, giving away to Nottingham or whoever else we will ahve picked up by then.

Obviously, though, that's a best best case scenario, which pretty much never happens.

Incrompetent. lol...i'll have to remember that one.

He looked like he was trying to change his approach on the sideline. Maybe that will get things going for him.

But UCLA's D isn't exactly the kind of unit you want to have to get better against. They might be the best in the Pac 10 (although there are several schools in the mix for that claim).

Well if they lose this game, getting that BCS bid may be a bit tough with who is on ND's schedule.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 05:26 PM

That was a weakass late hit call. Sure he was sliding, but he wasn't evening on the ground yet

Didn't see it. I was changing my laundry out. Oh well...good start to this set of downs. Nice undercut by Verner.

Eh, I was ready to say it was a bad call myself but I think the out of control/reckless disregard aspect of the blind dive is what drew the flag. It's not as bad in college as the don't-hit-the-girl-wearing-the-skirt calls of the NFL but that one probably deserved the flag given the emphasis.

He aimed his hit (leading with the helmet) directly towards the ground, that will be called everytime on a feet first sliding QB. Not a smart play by the defender.

Atocep · 09-12-2009, 05:30 PM

35-20 WVU and the Mountaineers closing in on 500 yards today with about 8 minutes left to play.

Chief Rum · 09-12-2009, 05:42 PM

Good drive about UT. Not great (a TD woulda been that), but they needed at least one score to get within a TD.

Now the pressure's on UCLA to sustain a drive. If they do, they can put it away. But I don't know they're quite ready to do a grind out drive like Tennessee just did.

M GO BLUE!!! · 09-12-2009, 05:44 PM

Matthews wasn't even looking for that ball.

Lathum · 09-12-2009, 05:44 PM

Huge pick by the Irish

Dr. Sak · 09-12-2009, 05:45 PM

Houston up 3 with the ball...3:45 to go in the game.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 05:47 PM

Meh..I have this feeling that UCLA lost the mo'. They nedeed a TD on one of their FG drives

Only USC is ranked, so even if it's a bumpy ride with a number of close calls, they can still get enough wins.

MrBug708 · 09-12-2009, 05:55 PM

Home cooking spot, ah well. Still gotta hold them

JonInMiddleGA · 09-12-2009, 05:58 PM

Pick 6 for Houston, up by 10 on OkSt now.

Dr. Sak · 09-12-2009, 05:58 PM

Okla State is going to be upset.

Karlifornia · 09-12-2009, 05:59 PM

UCLA's D needs to stiffen up with their backs against the wall. Two down territory for Tennessee with that offense.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-12-2009, 06:00 PM

Huge 4th down call coming up here for Tennessee.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-12-2009, 06:00 PM

{scratches head on the Brown carry there}

JonInMiddleGA · 09-12-2009, 06:01 PM

Who were they fucking kidding there?

Karlifornia · 09-12-2009, 06:01 PM

I know it's hindsight, but bad call there on 4th

Atocep · 09-12-2009, 06:01 PM

WVU finishes off ECU and it wouldn't have been remotely close with decent officiating and if there hadn't been 2 muffed punts deep in their own territory. The score was 35-20 but yardage was 509-238 and 1st downs 23-13.

Hopefully the poor officiating prepares the team for the game at Auburn next week.

Chief Rum · 09-12-2009, 06:01 PM

Wow, why not a play action there?

Chief Rum · 09-12-2009, 06:01 PM

Or anywhere in that last set.

SirFozzie · 09-12-2009, 06:02 PM

yeah, how do you run it in the middle on that play when you've run it so many times in the past

Eaglesfan27 · 09-12-2009, 06:02 PM

Agreed. I thought for sure they would call a PA pass somewhere during that sequence.

Very close to a safety there.
