Always my favorite week of the season, the first week when a lot of ranked teams go on the road. At least 14 ranked teams going on the road this week, and we get to see who's for real. There's a chance for some fun upsets.

USC already took down Cal 30-9

If you like to see two well-quarterbacked teams go against each other in an exciting, fast-paced offensive contest, don't watch the Auburn-Florida game. I am going to the game, and I am trying to prepare myself for the horror to avoid becoming catatonic while in the stands.

[SouthernBoSox]

Go to the hard stuff early and often. It's days like to today where beer just isn't gonna do it.

[Domer]

Michigan looks sharp in their Retro uniforms. I hope they get their ass kicked while wearing them.

Addendum: Michigan State looks rather meh.

[Dgilpin]

Amazing run by Denard

[Domer]

In 1999 Plaxico Burress guaranteed victory and beat Tom Brady in a big game? That must not happen often.

[Dgilpin]

This looks like the Michigan defense of old

[RedOctober3829]

The MSU combat uniforms are hideous. Absolutely hideous.

[Freddy Linn]

I know it's on all the time, but the Chrysler ad with "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" is great.

MSU's unis look a little like an Oregon version, except they rubbed mud all over them.

[Manny ActaFool]

The MSU combat uniforms are hideous. Absolutely hideous.

I love them. But I'm also a Duck alum.

With the stupid penalties and dropped passes by MSU I'm surprised Michigan isn't threatening more.

[RedOctober3829]

What the Christ is Denard throwing that ball to where he did?

[Dgilpin]

Jesus... Both Michigan quarterbacks are playing terrible

[Domer]

Urban Meyer is reacting to this game much like the guy in the Audi ad who watches the Honus Wagner ball get thrown to the dog. No doubt Meyer wouldn't have Denard playing flanker.

[roundegotrip]

Robinson's doing his best Joe Bauserman impression this week.

[Sea Bass Neely]

No doubt Meyer wouldn't have Denard playing flanker.

He would probably have him playing DB. Which I think was offered out of high school.

[SoxScout]

chris spielman is just AWFUL.

meyer sounds so disinterested, probably wishes, and maybe will be, on the sidelines with kraft tomorrow afternoon.

[Dgilpin]

This is painful watching Denard trying to complete passes

[RedOctober3829]

"I don't care if he's 2-for-55, leave him in there because he can make a play."
--Awesome analysis by Chris Spielman

[RedOctober3829]

Denard is playing as bad as I've ever seen him today. He's tentative in everything he does. MSU is doing a great job of getting pressure on him and keeping him in the pocket.

[Dgilpin]

Just let Denard run the ball or leave Gardner in for every snap... bc this is terrible

[Dgilpin]

Seriously suck a dick Spielman, I'm surprised he's not wearing his Ohio St jersey in the booth.

[Domer]

With that sucker punch, Michigan State demonstrates why it's impossible to cheer for them the 11 other Saturdays each season.

[SoxScout]

What a massive clusterfuck the Michigan QB situation was today

[Sea Bass Neely]

Gholston should have been tossed this game, but that guy is a player. Really impressive.

[Average Reds]

Spielman with the call of the game: "Well passed. Well Catched."

Moron.

[roundegotrip]

Jeez. MSU trying their best to help the Wolverines out.

[Dgilpin]

Michigan really needs some more designed QB runs.

Edited by Dgilpin, 15 October 2011 - 02:04 PM.

[SoxScout]

Does it get any more stupid?

[Dgilpin]

What a terrible fucking call, Borges and Hoke are having a terrible day on offense.

[Dgilpin]

Fuck... Gardner needs to be playing QB. Denard is not a college level passer

[Eric1984]

What a fucking disaster. So many blown opportunities. Sparty is doing all it can to gift wrap this and they just threw it away.

[Average Reds]

Bunch of fucking thugs. Classless.

[WayBackVazquez]

Unbelievable display of dirty football all day from this gang of thugs. Denard is the worst passing QB in major college football. If Tate were still around off the bench, we probably win this game.

[Average Reds]

Only about 5 yards past the line of scrimmage there.

Edit: Excuse me - 3 yards.

Edited by Average Reds, 15 October 2011 - 02:19 PM.

[roundegotrip]

Call them dirty and call them thugs all you want; you're probably right, but if that was your team's defense, you'd love it. I know I would.

[Sea Bass Neely]

Call them dirty and call them thugs all you want; you're probably right, but if that was your team's defense, you'd love it. I know I would.

Couldn't agree more.

[Dgilpin]

I blame Michigan's coaching staff for this loss, it was obvious from the beginning Denard couldn't complete anything today but yet they kept on calling pass plays for him.

[WayBackVazquez]

Call them dirty and call them thugs all you want; you're probably right, but if that was your team's defense, you'd love it. I know I would.

I would love 7 personal fouls and multiple instances of clearly attempting to injure the opposing QB? No. Maybe that's how you roll in Nebraska, but that's not Michigan football and I would never want it to be.

[Sille Skrub]

Denard is the worst passing QB in major college football.

Joe Bauserman strenuously objects.

[WayBackVazquez]

Couldn't agree more.

Well, duh.

[Sea Bass Neely]

Michigan State is a GOOD team. They clean up their execution and penalties they could be championship good. It's impressive what they are doing.

[PaulinMyrBch]

Marcus Lattimore down...knee...bad luck hit while blocking on the edge...

Edited by PaulinMyrBch, 15 October 2011 - 02:37 PM.

[Average Reds]

Call them dirty and call them thugs all you want; you're probably right, but if that was your team's defense, you'd love it. I know I would.

I guess that's the difference between us, because I would be embarrassed if that was my team's defense.

Couldn't agree more.

Stay classy OSU.

[roundegotrip]

They went too far today, into stupid territory, there's no doubt about that. The coaches can get them to dial that back. But I think the best defenses play with that nasty streak.

[Sille Skrub]

Welcome back Boom Herron!

[Dgilpin]

Fuck, South Carolina takes a safety as time expires for a back door cover for Miss. St.

[Royal Reader]

Christ, how lucky IS Les Miles?

LSU FG gets blocked but LSU get called for delay of game.

HAHA, then they get called again. How to negate your own luck.

[bowiac]

The difference between nasty and dumb in this case being whether Denard picked up on the CB blitz and converted the 4th and inches. If Michigan had won today, it would have been in spite of getting badly outplayed, and getting the win on the strength of penalties and turnovers.

You're a nasty defense when you win. You're an undisciplined defense when you lose.

[Royal Reader]

Joe Bauserman strenuously objects.

Jordan Jefferson?

Also, MSU Championship good? Big Ten championship, maybe. NC? Hell no.

[Domer]

Buckeyes are up 10-0 in the third against undefeated Illinois. Still, they have yet to complete a pass.
