Damn Danielson is quick. And good. People who want him and Lundquist demoted, mostly Alabama fans, are nuts.

Ga/SC very entertaining

Iowa State with the upset at Iowa. The same Iowa State that got blown out at home by North Dakota State. Hawkeyes were a sleeper pick in the Big Ten not that long ago.

Always funny to see the last-second time out backfire. Game tied, last play of the game, and Ferentz called one the instant before the Iowa State kicker missed. Of course, he put the next one straight up the middle.

After SCar lost opening to TAMU they are putting up a great game against UGA. Gurley was limited in the first half, but still didn't do much. We'll see if SCar can maintain stopping him in the second half unlike their fellow Carolinians at Clemson.
 
Thompson for SCar doesn't put a lot of mustard on his passes, but his decision making and accuracy seem very good.

God, I love Todd Gurley. Hope the Dawgs can come back.
 
No doubt about it, he is as good as i have seen in a very long time.   The 9 yard gain a moment ago when he was dead 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage was just unreal.

Looked like the Cocks were ready to implode but then the IG penalty kind of killed the drive.
 
Edit: And misses the chip shot FG!

Apparently the official in the UGA game just suddenly discover the personal Foul blocking below the waist penalty,  because all of a sudden he called it twice in a row,  the second one inexplicable on a USC WR who was attempting to tackle a Georgia DB after an interception.  
 
Seriously, a 15 yard call on a play where the defensive player (defensive after the int), dove on the ground near a "blocker",  but there was no contact at all on the play
 
Georgia Kicker misses a chip shot game tying FG attempt

SC defense with a hugggeeee stand after Thompson threw a pick at his own 20. Followed by the UGA kicker pushing it wide.

No, it was that weird (bad) a call. The WR just kinda slipped down near the UGA guy trying to block. It looked almost like he was trying to slide under the block and make an arm tackle.

Did I hear this right? UCLA wins the toss and defers. Texas decides to kick. So they'll be doing that at the start of the second half too.
That's what they were saying, I dont even question stupidity anymore.

I saw that replay. Didn't make any sense then, even less now.

So does this mean Texas A&M is officially the number one state school in the state of Texas now?
This post shows zero knowledge about Texas football. This year A&M is obviously a contender for the SEC crown and Sumlin's turned the program around. But TAMU will always have an inferiority complex, UT leads the all time series 76-37-5, and UT leads legit national titles 4-1 with TAMU's last coming in 1939.

4 up years doesn't erase 6 decades of UT dominance.

Who gives a shit about the past? Manziel has completely changed the landscape of Texas football. It's way more even in terms of fan support.
Have you been to Texas? A&M is picking up steam, but I was amazed at how far UT has stretched. From tip to tip.

I lived in San Antonio for 15 years. Nice try. There are TONS of Aggie fans all over the state. UT has more fans but they do not have a dominant presence like you insist.
You say you lived there for 15 years and this is what, A&Ms third good season in those 15 years? Sorry, they have a ways to go.

He and Ron Turner at FIU are two of the worst, most inexplicable hires in recent memory in college football. Though Florida fans might argue for their guy at this point...

Ummm, no..... Plus, who has their own TV station???? 
 
They have their own station? Cause I've never seen it, or known anyone who has seen it, or gets it in their cable package.

Ways to go before what? This rivalry was pretty close in the 1990s. UT was much better in the 2000s. And now Aggies look primed to own the 2010s. It's all cyclical.
 
Ehh... I teach at OU, and go to many sporting events (volleyball, baseball, softball, gymnastics, soccer, etc.) on my Faculty/Staff pass. Texas fans are willing to travel to Norman; A & M fans, not so much. Of course, A & M comes less often now because it's not in the Big 12 anymore, but there are still some match-ups. Even so, the fan intensity is not the same.

Kentucky & Florida tied 20-20 in the final minute (SEC Network). Wildcat receiver blows a perfectly-thrown ball  that glances off his hands for a Gators pick. Red Sox draft pick Jeff Driskel at QB for Florida, and they're at the UK for with 13 seconds left.
 
EDIT - Heading to OT after a FG try goes wide right. Never had a chance.

Florida's kicker doesn't even put it close, time for OT. It truly is remarkable how deep into the ground Muschamp has driven this program.

Holy shit what a TD run by Williams for Kentucky. Incredible. Gators had him wrapped up, he escaped, reversed course, and ran all the way around to the left sideline -- diving over the pylon. First play of OT.

And I'm loving every minute of it.
