Impressive showing against a good USC team, to only let them pull away in the 4th is hard to swallow after playing so well the rest of the game.

Got to be happy with no turnovers too.

Thanks! Yeah, Henderson really played well in his return, but our running game suffered, mostly because of our offensive line being trash. We could've won, but threw it away at the end. Thanks for the comment!

you put up a good fight. Looks like you avoided turnovers, that can keep you in any game, along with good playcalling.

Thanks for the comment! Lack of turnovers really helped us to stay in it, and our defense played really well, but unfortunately we didn't have the talent to win.

B1G, BIG 12, AND ACC FINALLY QUASH RUMORS OF REALIGNMENT

After roughly a month and a half of silence, the ACC, B1G, and Big 12 have finally silenced the rumors of future conference realignment, caused by a leaked audio tape between representatives of the three conferences, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Louisville, and Navy.

The B1G's reasons for doing so are likely due to the fact that Nebraska has made an entrance into the Coaches' Poll at #20 in recent weeks. Notre Dame has also performed far below expectations this year, not even making an appearance in the Top 25.

Neither Nebraska or Notre Dame have expressed interest in joining a new conference within the next few years, either. Nebraska AD Shawn Eichorst released an official statement today stating that,"We have found a new home in the Big 10. While it is unfortunate that we had to leave behind storied rivalries with Oklahoma and Colorado, we saw a good future for our athletic programs in the Big 10, especially in football."

Louisville may be looking for an ACC bid within the next few years, however, as they are 6-1 and entered the Top 25 Coaches' Poll this week at #22.The Cardinals' AD, Tom Jurich, released an official statement this week as well, saying,"We would very much enjoy the prestige of a Power Five Conference, such as the ACC. We have reached out to them, and while they expressed interest, they have said that in order for such a partnership to be viable, they would need to see a few more seasons of success."

Meanwhile, Nevada and Arkansas State have become known on the national stage with entrances into the Top 25 Coaches' Poll at #21 and #24, respectively. They could be making cases to stronger conferences as well.

Let me know what you guys think of these potential moves!
