Toledo & Western Michigan have an outside shot at the all-time D1 (FBS) record for highest scoring regulation game (Navy 74, N. Texas 62 in 2007). It's 49-35 Toledo and the teams have combined for over 950 total yards -- and there's still 4:00 left in the 3rd quarter. They were tied 28-28 at the half.

EDIT - And just as I post that, WMU's Jordan White runs 60 yards for a score. That drive took all of 38 seconds. The PAT makes it 49-42. It's on ESPN-U.

EDIT - WMU ties it up 49-49 with 13:22 left in the game.

EDIT - Toledo takes a 56-49 lead with 8:32 remaining, and now they've recovered a fumble at the WMU 30 with 8:20 left. It's worth noting that Toledo lost last week to Northern Illinois 63-60, the 2nd-highest scoring game in MAC history, though the 123 points is the most ever in regulation. A conference record 17 TDs were scored, and there've been 15 so far tonight.

EDIT - Toledo gets to the 12 and fumbles it right back to WMU. Less than 7:00 to play.

EDIT - WMU punts, Toledo caps a 74-yard drive with an Adonis Thomas 42-yard TD run to make it 63-49 with 4:22 left. They won't break the D-1 record, but a new conference record is still possible.

Edited by mabrowndog, 08 November 2011 - 11:50 PM.

[mabrowndog]

Man, this is fun. WMU in the hurry-up "matriculates the ball down the field" for a score with 3:20 left. They've still got 3 time-outs. The game has now tied the MAC all-time record of 17 combined TDs.

63-56, Rockets.

EDIT - Toledo recovers the onsides kick. They just went over the 800 total yard mark -- a school record 813 to be exact. WMU's racked 561.

EDIT - The Rockets have to settle for a FG with 1:51 left. WMU will be airing it out again, and they've already had 3 TD drives tonight in a minute or less.

EDIT - Holy shit. A 71-yard drive takes just 50 seconds. It's 66-63 Toledo with 1:01 left. A new MAC record in back-to-back weeks and both of them involved the Rockets. This is incredible.

EDIT - WMU nearly recovered the onside kick, and he was running full tilt down the right sideline. But the ball bounced just over his hands and out of bounds. Toledo ball, but the Broncs still have 2 time-outs.

EDIT - The teams have combined for 1,450 yards.

EDIT - WMU uses its TOs, but the 3rd down play brings the clock down to 3 seconds. Toledo will just run it out and then take a knee as they become bowl eligible. Phew.

MBD, what are you impressions of the WMU quarterback, Alex Carder? I'm very high on him as a potential NFL prospect. Not a first rounder, but a good mid to late round pick up.

[mabrowndog]

I thought he showed good poise, moved well in the pocket, and made accurate throws. But it's really hard for me to gauge his status as a prospect based on one game, especially against a disjointed and ineffective defense and a non-existent pass rush. Still, to rack 548 yards without a pick is something.

The two guys who really impressed me tonight were WR Jordan White (WMU) and RB Adonis Thomas (Toledo), though both appear to be undersized for the NFL. White's 6-0/215 while Thomas is 5-10/185. Still, they're insanely talented athletes with incredible quickness.

[mabrowndog]

VT-GT has been an entertaining back-and-forth game. Hokies just stretched their lead to 34-26 with 9:49 left in the 4th.

But if the Yellowjackets lose by a TD or less, it'll be likely because of one of the stupidest unnecessary roughness penalties I've ever seen early in the 3rd. They'd held VT to a 3-and-out at the Hokie 17, the last stop on a sack that was whistled dead by the official. The tackler, LB Jeremiah Attaochu, threw a punch at the QB's head as the gang tackle was breaking up after the whistle. 15 yards, automatic first down, and five plays later VT scored to go up 27-26.

I'll never understand how coaches handle this crap.

[Infield Infidel]

Syracuse, down 23-10, has had two trips to the red zone early in the 4th. The first time they go for it on 4th down inside the 5. They don't get it. The second time, they go for it on 4th-13 from the 20. They don't get it. If they had kicked the FG each time, they'd be down 7 with more than 9 minutes left. Now they are down by 13, and USF will obviously run some more clock down.

[sachmoney]

Big crowd at State College as the players enter the stadium:

Going to be a very interesting game.

EDIT: Entering the stadium.

[sachmoney]

A lot of early B1G games. Penn State and Nebraska both punt early. Michigan State tears up Iowa's defense and gets 7. Ohio State struggling early offensively against the Boilermakers. It's 3-0 in West Lafayette.

Northwestern doesn't really matter this weekend, since they're playing Rice.

EDIT: State now up 14-0 after a Johnny Adams interception and Edwin Baker TD reception.

Edited by sachmoney, 12 November 2011 - 12:22 PM.

[axx]

That was a lucky redirection.

Edit: Surprised they went for the fg there, kinda long.

Edited by axx, 12 November 2011 - 12:25 PM.

[sachmoney]

Ohio State down 10-0 early. They're getting thoroughly outplayed thus far. Braxton Miller is going to have to get this offense going. It's been largely ineffective with two three and outs so far. That Northwestern game I said didn't matter is 7-0 Wildcats.

[LogansDad]

So Oklahoma St is averaging 1.75 points per minute so far today, with 10 minutes to play in the second quarter.

[sachmoney]

Ohio State is in trouble if they don't turn this around fast. They're down 10 again with just over 3 minutes left in the second quarter.

Oklahoma State is beating Texas Tech like a drum. Damn.

[axx]

This lead by Nebraska might be insurmountable.

[mascho]

Huskers force a fumble. Points here probably put this out of reach.

[mascho]

TD Nebraska on a well executed option, pitch made about 5 yards downfield. Have to think this one is over.

[sachmoney]

Huskers force a fumble. Points here probably put this out of reach.

Game.

Texas has a punt blocked, but they hold Missouri inside the 5, forcing a field goal.

Ohio State got an early TD on a rush by Braxton Miller. OSU needs to get a stop here to sustain this momentum. Michigan State and Northwestern are in charge in their games.

[Greg29fan]

#9 Clemson now losing to Wake Forest 21-14

[Infield Infidel]

So Oklahoma St is averaging 1.75 points per minute so far today, with 10 minutes to play in the second quarter.

With 10 minutes left in the 3rd it's still 1.6 pts/min

[Greg29fan]

stop trying to jinx my team thanks

[mabrowndog]

Missouri surprising Texas 17-5. According ESPN's scoreboard there's 12:02 to play in the 4th, though FX shows 13:40 remaining. Are they broadcasting on tape delay or something?

Also, just got in and saw that Cinci QB Zach Collaros went out with a leg injury in the 2nd quarter against WV. Per ESPN:

Collaros retreated toward his end zone while trying to avoid the rush and was tackled by Bruce Irvin, forcing a fumble. Collaros' right leg twisted underneath him as he went down. Julian Miller recovered the fumble in the end zone, giving the Mountaineers a 17-7 lead.

Anyone see how serious it was?

[Al Zarilla]

Who's coaching Nebraska today, Tom Osborne? Option-heavy offense is working though.

[mabrowndog]

As long as I have a shitload of questions, here's another:

Why the fuck is Channel 5 in Boston continuing to air Okla St kicking the shit out of Texas Tech -- two dust bowl teams nobody in New England gives a rat's ass about even where there's a competitive game being played -- instead of switching over to WV-Cinci, which is now a 17-14 game in the Big East?

[mabrowndog]

Some trailing teams battling back:

* Newman just missed his second FG attempt for Wake, who now lead Clemson by just a TD with ~8:00 to play. Tigers now driving at the Wake 12.

* Iowa has drawn to within 34-21 and is driving on the Spartan 40 with 10:43 left.

* Cinci has 1st & 10 at the WVU 42 down 17-14.

* Florida just scored to draw within 14-12 of SC in Columbia, but missed on the 2-point conversion pass.

Touchdown Clemson. Tie game with 5:27 to play.

[Greg29fan]

ESPN is going to get their dream with Penn State winning this game.

Seriously, when did ESPN become the Penn State Network? What the hell?

Shove Rex down their throats, please.

ABC and ESPN make all decisions on what games are shown what affiliates. Either way I don't think the network has the technical capabilities to switch a fraction of its audience to a new game.

[mabrowndog]

Cinci takes the lead over WV 21-17 with 13;20 to play on a drive led by QB Munchie Legaux. Not many football names more awesome than that.

I'd like to thank ABC for allowing me to NOT watch this one. Assholes.

[LogansDad]

ABC and ESPN make all decisions on what games are shown what affiliates. Either way I don't think the network has the technical capabilities to switch a fraction of its audience to a new game.

You would think that it would make them more money to switch everyone to a competitive game at this point, though, not just a fraction. I can't imagine how many people have tuned out of the OKSt game due to lack of interest.

[Al Zarilla]

Penn State needs to make a Brady or Luck drive for the win (89 yards); need 60 to get to outside chance for a FG to tie. 3:52 to go.

[mabrowndog]

Clemson at the Wake 22 now with 3:00 left.

Missouri seconds away from knocking off Texas. Still 17-5 in that one.

[DannyHeep]

Purdue blocks a potential game winning extra point to keep the game tied at 20-20.

[Domer]

I assume ABC will switch the audience over to WVU-Cincy at the conclusion of the game, but they don't want to piss off affiliates in Lubbock and Stillwater by taking it off the air early. Ever since Heidi games are always shown to their completion, no matter the score.

[mabrowndog]

Clemson has 4th & inches at the 12, and they're kicking the FG for the lead ---

NO GOOD!! Holy shit, he flubbed a chip shot!!

[mascho]

PSU given a gift spot on 4th and 1. Gonna be close.

EDIT: PSU stopped.

Edited by mascho, 12 November 2011 - 03:19 PM.

[Al Zarilla]

Penn State takes 1:57 to get 26 yards. They run a long developing off tackle play on 4th and 1. Short. Neb. ball.

[mabrowndog]

Wow, Nebraska with what appeared to be a HUGE stop there on 4th & 1, but PSU got a really generous spot.

EDIT - Nope! HUSKER BALL!

Edited by mabrowndog, 12 November 2011 - 03:19 PM.

Clemson misses the FG to put them ahead but the D holds strong.

Play stands. Giddy-up.

[Domer]

Purdue blocks a potential game winning extra point to keep the game tied at 20-20.

The cover is still in play!

[cshea]

Why did Clemson just spike it? They do realize they have 2 TO's left, right?

[Dave Stapleton]

Grobe with awful clock management.

[mascho]

Burkhead stopped short on 4th down. Don't know why they ran a toss play there. They've been having success between the tackles, run it inside on 4th and 1.

[mabrowndog]

PSU will have 49 seconds from their own 28 to win or get a tying FG.

[Dave Stapleton]

Home cooking on the scoreboard. Whoa. The game isn't over.

[mabrowndog]

Clemson takes the ACC Atlantic as Catanzaro redeems himself with the winning FG.
