st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 04:50 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a 1 yard punt that wasn't blocked or squibbed... but that's what Badger punter Ken Debauche just did.

DaddyTorgo · 09-01-2007, 04:50 PM

that's hot. Tribble has 2 endzone INT's today against wake forest!!!!

If Nesbitt can't be better than Bilbo was at QB, he shouldn't be there. That said, I think he will be. (FWIW, Bilbo is a safety now)

Sublime 2 · 09-01-2007, 05:02 PM

BC takes the lead 28-21 with another Ryan TD.

DaddyTorgo · 09-01-2007, 05:11 PM

tribble now has 3!!!!! INT's in the game (2 in the endzone to stuff WF drives). Guy hasta be one of the best corners in the country

I can agree with that totally.

wade moore · 09-01-2007, 05:13 PM

Dola: And I heard someone at the restaurant/bar I was just at say that 17 of 22 starters for Appy were I-A transfers.. not sure if that's true, but I do know they have a lot of I-A transfers.

DaddyTorgo · 09-01-2007, 05:18 PM

BC

dejuan tribble - 3 INT's (2 in endzone)
Matt Ryan - 26/42 385 YDS, 5 TD's

Does it make much of a difference? If they are at appy its because they couldnt get on the field at the I-A level

cartman · 09-01-2007, 05:34 PM

In lower division news, Div. III Mount Union scored 52

points in the first quarter of their 75-7 win over Averett.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 05:47 PM

And that would be sack number 8 for GT and QB fumble number 3 for ND.
26-3 with just under 10 minutes to play.

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 05:49 PM

So, I've got Arizona @ BYU on the Versus channell. The graphic says "2nd", and "38:03".

????

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 05:49 PM

Now its "37:09" ... so I guess its the 2nd quarter, with 7 minutes left in the half. Weird.

JeeberD · 09-01-2007, 05:53 PM

Maybe UCF will be the CUSA team to pull the upset today. Leading NCSU 15-0 at the start of the second...

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 06:02 PM

Uh, can someone explain to me why I have Georgia-Oklahoma State on BOTH ESPN and ESPN2?

Huckleberry · 09-01-2007, 06:04 PM

I'm not sure where Sagarin had them last year, but my ratings had Appalachian State as the #52 team in the country in the all divisions ratings.

That was one spot behind Miami (FL) and one spot ahead of Iowa.

Huckleberry · 09-01-2007, 06:05 PM

Because they switched from the Missouri/Illinois game only in Oklahoma and Georgia and then they put it on ESPN for the rest of the country.

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 06:08 PM

Ugh, just as the Illinois-Missouri game got interesting.

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 06:13 PM

Missouri-Illinois coming down to the wire. 40-34 Tigers, Illinois ball at their own 30 with just under 3 minutes to play.

DaddyTorgo · 09-01-2007, 06:16 PM

BC's going to take this one over Wake Foreset...38-28 with 40 seconds to go. Wake has the ball but they won't score 10 pts

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 06:16 PM

This would be a huge win for Zook. Looks like some of his talent is paying off. I see Benn has 4 catches for 50 yards.

Tigercat · 09-01-2007, 06:18 PM

You people underestimate the I-AA teams, but this is the defending champion who return a guy that was an amazing QB as a freshman last year and a RB who is a candidate for the Payton award.

As a LSU fan I already knew this. In 2005 LSU beat them 24-0, but Appy showed to be a tough, scrappy, well coached team. Game was only 14-0 going into the 4th quarter.

If I was a 1A team, I would do my homework and not schedule them, no upside and then the unthinkable could happen, and today it did.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2007, 06:19 PM

OkSt ties UGA 7-7 in the 1st.

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 06:20 PM

Go OkSt!

Dr. Sak · 09-01-2007, 06:20 PM

Illinois is going to surprise a lot of teams in the Big Ten.

Just got back from the Penn State game. The loudest cheer today was when they announced Michigan lost to App. State. FIU was clearly out matched. They had at least 7 to 9 fumbles in the game (all not lost). The only downer for Penn State was they could not establish a running game till the second half. Morelli had 239 yards at half and the Nittany Lions won 59-0.

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 06:21 PM

dola

Illinois gets HUGE 25 yard completion to to Benn on 4th and 10. Illini on the 28 yard line with 1:04 left.

DaddyTorgo · 09-01-2007, 06:22 PM

BC 38
WF 28

Young Drachma · 09-01-2007, 06:24 PM

Wow. Michigan loses and Wyoming wins against UVa. What a day.

larrymcg421 · 09-01-2007, 06:25 PM

INT at the 1 yard line. Illinois loses.

Now, now, I still think Michigan is better than most teams in the MAC.

sterlingice · 09-01-2007, 06:56 PM

Kansas 14 Central Michigan 0, 2nd Q

SI

Noop · 09-01-2007, 06:57 PM

So far this has been a great weekend of football

Ben E Lou · 09-01-2007, 06:58 PM

Dawgs lead 21-7. Dat boy is showing zero signs of ACL surgery so far. 7 carries for 37 yards and 2 TDs so far.

Tigercat · 09-01-2007, 07:02 PM

Edit: OK I quoted the wrong thing because I'm an idiot. But I don't believe ASU is more talented than MAC teams.

Better coached? Yes. Much. More talented? Eh. Most MAC teams, probably ALL MAC teams have better recruiting years than ASU does. But perhaps (much?) better talent development at a school like ASU over a MAC/WAC/CUSA school does equal a more talented team.

This is a credit to well put together and well coached programs more than its a credit to teams in 1AA having all-around talent.

Karlifornia · 09-01-2007, 07:11 PM

Cal going with the ugly uniforms. They're ugly, but they make them look faster.

Celeval · 09-01-2007, 07:15 PM

The question is - uglier uniforms: Oregon State, Cal, or the new Syracuse ones?

Karlifornia · 09-01-2007, 07:18 PM

Control yourselves, Kal.

Karlifornia · 09-01-2007, 07:19 PM

Oh my....that has to get reviewed, doesn't it?

st.cronin · 09-01-2007, 07:21 PM

I'm not entirely sure how Ainge is able to walk after that.

Karlifornia · 09-01-2007, 07:30 PM

Tennessee's offense was great on that drive. The playcalling was superb.

sterlingice · 09-01-2007, 07:33 PM

For anyone on the edge of their seat waiting for the score, Kansas 35 Central Michigan 0, about to go into the half.

SI

cartman · 09-01-2007, 07:42 PM

Texas has looked shaky against their ASU opponent, they are only ahead 14-3 at halftime. Arkansas State has moved the ball well, but are killing themselves with penalties. They did a good job of ball control, and kept Texas' offense off of the field. Coming into the game Arkansas State was known for their running attack, but they've been going to the air quite a bit against the new secondary of Texas.

Huckleberry · 09-01-2007, 07:55 PM

Texas' units that we knew would be weak (e.g., OL) are definitely weak. Texas' units that we thought would be strong aren't (DL). Texas' units that we weren't sure about that we had hope for are in fact weak (LBs, DBs).

Arkansas state outgained Texas by 35 yards in the first half.

DE Brian Orakpo went out with a knee injury on an uncalled chop block.

Tigercat · 09-01-2007, 07:57 PM

First time I've ever heard a national sports announcer yell into the mic about "TREE HUGGERS!"

That segment was pretty funny, especially the bit about the toilet paper.

Karlifornia · 09-01-2007, 08:02 PM

You could really tell how Musberger was bothered by the tree-sitters. "The university planted those trees!" "It's a World War I memorial, and those trees were planted before World War I"

He also referred to them as "Aging hippies". Pretty funny.

MizzouRah · 09-01-2007, 08:05 PM

Mizzou BARELY won that one... whew.....

Dr. Sak · 09-01-2007, 08:06 PM
