Week 9 College Football Gamethread
- Thread starter Dan to Theo to Ben
- Start date
Refs not done with PSU yet. Awful chop block call negates a big gain, which has been their only big gain of the night. Why couldn't have OSU shown up tonight rather than subject me to this agony of a relatively close game?
What a horrendous series of plays: a dumb-assed pass interference, delay of game, throwing a jump ball short of the end zone.
Just horrible. They actually had a worse angle at the 42 FG than the 47 FGcanderson said:
Complete loss of faith and confidence in your kicker.
DOWN GO THE REBELS, GO UNION!
with the college rules, and score, it was a smart play if he thought he lost the WR and a TD possibleDomer said:
Putting the offense back on the field with 0:09 seconds left was a good decision, but that throw was anything but.Dan to Theo to Ben said:
Would be nice (they beat bama, bama beats everyone else, but Miss St won't lose to vandy or Arky)shawnrbu said:
with zero TO's, a hothead QB, and a 47 YD for a kicker who made 50's pregame, I disagree.Domer said:
Utah's QB Travis Wilson is 6'7" and is fun to watch, but has inconsistent mechanics. It reminds me of what Payne Stewart said about David Robinson's golf swing at some celeb golf tourney in the 90s - when your parts are really long, it's hard to repeat the same movements.

I never trust a college kicker with a long kick with the pressure on. If you have a chance to make the kick shorter or go for the end zone, and still have another down in your back pocket, there's nothing wrong with running a play on 3rd.
Ole Miss has to maximize their chances at winning the game. If you got two downs, use them. If they kick on 3rd and miss, they wasted a chance for a closer kick. Nothing wrong with taking a go on third down, since they can kick on 4th if it's incomplete, or if it's a quick first down pass they can spike it then kick. 9 seconds is plenty of time. The pass was just dumb. The QB is the only issue there, throwing a bad pass instead of throwing it out of bounds or to a guy just passed the 1st down. I mean, if you roll out, you are automatically out of the tackle box so there's no chance at intentional grounding. With the rollout, the only things that could have gone wrong was that pass, or anything short of the 1st down marker.
I don't blame the coach for the bad pass. I do blame the coach for the delay of game.
OMG, Penn State almost got completely porked right here. They better give him the first down and put some time back on the clock.
PSU should have known it was getting a raw deal in the Big Ten when they refused to change the name of the conference when it joined.
Remember Ficken missed four field goals against Virginia a year ago, including the potential game-winner.
I see what you're saying, but confidence is key, and kickers are pretty smart they pick up on this. If it's a 55YD/out or on edge of range, that's one thing.Infield Infidel said:
