Weak as shit fumbles tonight.
 
I'm not sure that it was too weak. It was a blindside shot right at the ball. Blame Elliot for not being aware of the field, I guess.
 
That said, it's a colossal fumble now. Brutal. Just handed them a TD.

Yeah, that was a bit strong of me.

As soon as an 8 seed wins the tournament - and it will happen - every 9th best team until the end of time will have a very legitimate beef.
most likely the 8 seed would be a much lower ranked team. If they go with Big 5 conference champs, the highest non-Big 5 champ, and two at-large, the two at-large teams would likely be in the 4 to 7 range. The at-large teams would almost certainly be ranked higher than at least one team that won their conference.

'bama should consider spying Jones on third down, because that's the second time in two drives he's gotten right through the four man rush for a big gain.

I like how Jones runs the ball, but man, he has no touch when he's throwing the ball.  Ugly, ugly passing.

Not even close to a real pass.
from watching loads of college games, they are much more lenient with grounding than NFL. If you are anywhere near the tackles and just throw it in the general direction a guy, they don't call it.

True. But, damn, that was 40 yards out of bounds.
 
Great play Jones. Solid. Looking calm.

Is this QB a pro prospect? I know it's only his second game, but was he a highly regarded recruit? He has NFL size and showing a nice arm and decent speed. Seems crazy Ohio State would have more good QBs than the SEC.

Hasn't this been an SEC issue for a long time? Since their D's were the big dogs combined with strong running games, the QBs never got much notice. I think this is changing, but I from what I recall this is argued why the top QB recruits don't necessarily go there.

Just don't eat himself out of the league like the guy he [SIZE=13.63636302948px]reminds me of,[/SIZE] JaMarcus Russell, did.
