I think it'll be in that range as long as Barkley isn't a disaster.

larrymcg421 · 09-05-2009, 02:31 PM

Very bad time management by Syracuse.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-05-2009, 02:36 PM

And it's time for free football in Syracuse.

I think so too, and I'll be shocked if he is a disaster. He's showed some amazing improvement against what will likely be the top defense he'll face all year during the months of practice. With the weapons around him, he should tear it up today.

NiteMaestro · 09-05-2009, 02:37 PM

Carter wants to win, eh? lol
Nice run.

larrymcg421 · 09-05-2009, 02:39 PM

Ouch. You have to throw that ball away.

sovereignstar · 09-05-2009, 02:39 PM

TEA-BAG PAUL-US

Eaglesfan27 · 09-05-2009, 02:39 PM

Horrendous decision there by Paulus.

Logan · 09-05-2009, 02:39 PM

TRUE POINT GUARD!

NiteMaestro · 09-05-2009, 02:39 PM

Eh... Williams ran a slow route.

By the time he was open, Paulus already had to scramble.

Logan · 09-05-2009, 02:41 PM

He's not making this kick.

Yeah, but that means the play was dead. You can't take a risk like that in OT.

clemsonfan · 09-05-2009, 02:43 PM

Big Ten football not looking very good so far today.

sovereignstar · 09-05-2009, 02:43 PM

The Gophers have had kicking trouble since the Englishman Rhys Lloyd passed through. Please put an end to that pls.

sovereignstar · 09-05-2009, 02:43 PM

WOOOOO

sovereignstar · 09-05-2009, 02:44 PM

Nothing to be too happy about, but it would have been somewhat of a nightmare to go into the new stadium on such a low note.

Logan · 09-05-2009, 02:44 PM

Paulus looks exactly like Ryan Gosling in Remember the Titans.

sovereignstar · 09-05-2009, 02:47 PM

JonInMiddleGA · 09-05-2009, 02:56 PM

Already 7-0 UGA over OkSt, an easy 80 drive to open the game. Cowboys with 3 penalties for 17 yds in the first 9 minutes

JonInMiddleGA · 09-05-2009, 03:00 PM

GT wins 37-17 giving up a late TD. 3 turnovers, too many yds allowed against this caliber opponent, actually trailed TOP by a couple of minutes.

I know they played a lot of people with the Thursday night game coming up but I'm not all that impressed by anything other than Dwyer and other than the first play of the game he had 6 carries for 21 yds.

bhlloy · 09-05-2009, 03:06 PM

USC looks absolutely pathetic so far and Barkley looks like a scared deer in the headlights. I'm already having nightmares about Columbus next week.

Whatever it is I'd take USC after what I saw today, our OL just sucks big time again. A bunch of 300+ lb pussies.

NiteMaestro · 09-05-2009, 03:12 PM

Holy Shit....
That Michigan guy is insane...

Reminds me of Vick, but without the elusiveness... But that speed is insane.

larrymcg421 · 09-05-2009, 03:14 PM

San Jose St. up 3-0.

larrymcg421 · 09-05-2009, 03:16 PM

And USC fumbles on the first play of the next drive.

DeToxRox · 09-05-2009, 03:17 PM

Denard Robinson is the fucking truth.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-05-2009, 03:18 PM

And what was that people said about Nevada going to give Notre Dame trouble?
Somebody might want to tell them. 14-0 Irish, Claussen 9/10 for 114 & 2 TD's in the first 16 minutes.

TBH, I have no problem with Notre Dame as a school, or their players.... But I'm ticked the hell of at their administration and a lil bit at Weis...

I think Barkley is nervous and the turnovers have hurt, but the defense has looked good so far. I'm sure Barkley will settle down, I just hope USC can hold onto the ball better than they have so far.

He's about 6" but he won't be a QB in the NFL should he make it that far. This kid is flat out one of the fastest players in America though. As he develops he is going to be insane to watch.

Still seems short though...
6' on the official roster?
Then take of a couple of inches...

I feel he'd be better as a true wildcat back. He has a cannon, but doesn't seem to have a QB mentality.

fantom1979 · 09-05-2009, 03:27 PM

Michigan is on a mission. 21-0

Eaglesfan27 · 09-05-2009, 03:36 PM

Barkley with his best throw of the day. Absolute dart across his body. He is now 4 of 6 for 43 yards and looks to be settling in nicely as USC is inside the 5 for the first time today.

Edit: Next play Stafon Johnson runs it in untouched for a TD. USC up 7-3.

Well, Demaryius Thomas was 4 for 101, but I agree with you. If they play like that against Clemson it could get ugly.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-05-2009, 03:47 PM

Much better play from Barkley after those initial jitters. He's now 6 of 8 and approaching 100 yards. Stafon Johnson gets his 2nd rushing TD of the game. 14-3.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-05-2009, 03:55 PM

Dola -

Nice to see Allen Bradford finally get some carries. He just had a 43 yard rushing TD. Interesting rotation of the RB's this game.

CamEdwards · 09-05-2009, 03:55 PM

I'm on a freaking rampage with Verizon's customer service right now. After paying for the OSU/GA game, the %&*^ing channel goes black right after the first quarter. Am now watching Oklahoma State's pathetic performance on ESPN 360 while yelling at my 3rd customer service rep.

I'd probably be a little nicer if the Cowboys could go more than a series without drawing a penalty.

JeeberD · 09-05-2009, 03:55 PM

Robinson deep to Dez Bryant for a score. 7-7 game.

JeeberD · 09-05-2009, 04:02 PM

OSU recovers a UGA fumble at the Dawgs 11. Then a penalty against UGA makes it first and goal at the 6 for the Cowboys...

JeeberD · 09-05-2009, 04:03 PM

Christ...Air Force is slaughtering Nicholls State 72-0. Air Force has 465 yards rushing. 465! And no individual player has more than 83 yards ATM...

DeToxRox · 09-05-2009, 04:04 PM

Who's this Michigan team out there today?

JeeberD · 09-05-2009, 04:05 PM

Fourth and goal for the Cowboys from the one with 14 seconds to go in the half...

JeeberD · 09-05-2009, 04:06 PM

Holding on OSU during a Robinson scramble. OSU with the FG instead...10-7 Cowboys.

Logan · 09-05-2009, 04:07 PM

Matt Millen really is a great analyst.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-05-2009, 04:08 PM

Barkley just led the Trojans on a great 2 minute (well 1:20) drive to score again at the end of the half. Interesting to see USC using some shotgun for Barkley in the 1st half. Barkley is now 8 of 11 for 138 yards. McKnight gets this TD run (after a beautiful fade throw to Williams was defended by San Jose.)

CamEdwards · 09-05-2009, 04:09 PM

And another freaking penalty brings back the touchdown.

Matthean · 09-05-2009, 04:10 PM

I guess all of that practice time really helped Michigan.

bhlloy · 09-05-2009, 04:11 PM

Yeah Barkley has really settled in. I'm still concerned about what he's going to look like against a real pass rush, he's still a bit tentative and holding the ball a bit too long. But the run game is really clicking and this is without the best run blocker on the team. They should be even better with Byers back as the pulling guard and O'Dowd in the middle.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-05-2009, 04:22 PM

Make it 28-0 ND over Nevada at the half.
