S-E-C! S-E-C!

[mabrowndog]

NC State with 4 turnovers in the first half alone, the most recent of which (an Eric Samuels pick of Mike Glennon returned 12 yards to the Wolfpack 18) results in a Vandy TD with 41 seconds left.

28-14 Commodores

[hunter05]

How the hell do you call that FG good? Holy shit. I have never seen that before.

Stunning. The ref was standing directly underneath the upright, but he didn't appear to be looking up at the ball when it clearly passed in front of the upright plain as day.

Thank Christ for replay justice.

USC touchdown, just before half. Middle Tennessee, which did not start season No. 1, scored seven of those TD thingees against Georgia Tech.

Watching this game is brutal. Pulling for U$C is even worse, but I really don't want my main man Kiffin fired.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

21-7 Georgia Tech. USC is not so good.

[axx]

Turn on the TV and USC's QB throws right at a Yellow Jacket.

[Hambone]

That was a nice pass to 3 Georgia Tech defenders.

[mabrowndog]

It's amazing how quickly USC's quality of play has completely evaporated. It's not like they don't have talent, either.

Making it doubly hilarious is how much grief the NCAA took for granting the bowl exemption to a 6-7 GT team. And they absolutely pasted the shit out of the Trojans.

[sachmoney]

Kiffin is a joke. I have no idea how he turned a preseason #1 into a 7-6 team.

EDIT: Well, I have some idea...

MattRHinton
USC is the first team ever with six losses after starting No. 1 in the preseason AP poll. First to finish unranked in 50-plus years.

Robert Woods has already announced that he's leaving for the NFL. Why would you want to stick around for another season of disappointment? I feel bad for Marqise Lee. He's has to stick around and could win the Heisman if he gets the touches, but I don't see USC being better than Oregon or Stanford next year (without looking at attrition). The rest of the conference is getting better too. It's only going to be tougher.

EDIT: Silas Redd is staying apparently. Didn't know he had any eligibility left. That's pretty big news.

Now that's a bad start for Clemson. Watkins gets hurt, they turn the ball over, and LSU scores a TD.
The game is less than one minute old

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Sammy Watkins out. Just wonderful.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Taj Boyd is really fun to watch.

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Good drive by Clemson capped off by a 9- yard touchdown run by Tajh.

Clemson getting that pressure on Mettenberger!!!

And grounding!

Barkevious Mingo is an absolute beast. Man would I love to see him in Foxboro. Insanely fast & quick for a guy his size.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Plus....what an awesome name

[JCizzle]

LSU's OL is trash, not what I expected from an SEC team.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Their QB is pretty sucky too


EDIT: although...

Tajh, never do that again.

[SoxScout]

Barkevious Mingo is an absolute beast. Man would I love to see him in Foxboro. Insanely fast & quick for a guy his size.

I'd love to know what he is playing at right now. I bet it's not even 230.

[mabrowndog]

Sounds like he's puking and/or shitting his innards out in the LSU locker room right now.

[SoxScout]

I don't know what is more impressive, how Boyd has played, or how he has played with a smile while getting murdered on every single play.

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Oh man, what a game!

Edited by Buster Olney the Lonely, 31 December 2012 - 10:54 PM.

[SoxScout]

Is LSU shitting me?

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Hah, the Mad Hatter strikes again.

[LeftyTG]

ahhhh Les Miles, you never disappoint.

[scottyno]

ok fine throw once, but you cant get 2 yards on the ground with 2 chances after that?

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Tajh is having the game of his life.

[canderson]

LSU's d-backs are dropping like flies. This is a positive.

[DrewDawg]

On the penalty replay the announcer goes "But that's a frame by frame replay..."

Yeah...that showed it was a good call. Stop bitching.

[SoxScout]

Never
Ever
Trust a college kicker
EVER

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

I cannot believe Clemson can win this.

[scottyno]

LSU's d-backs are dropping like flies. This is a positive.

and the ones that are on the field are giving a 15 yard cushion like they're up 2 scores

[bosox188]

Fuck off SEC!

[SoxScout]

Wow, drilled.

Congrats, great fucking game.

[mabrowndog]

Never

Say what??

Awesome game.

[DukeSox]

Lol acc sux

[canderson]

Fuck you LSU.

[hunter05]

Pumped & jacked

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Biggest win since I've been a fan. May not sleep tonight.

[absintheofmalaise]

Great game. That was the only game I wanted a SEC team to lose. Geaux Tigers my ass.

[Plantiers Wart]

Les Miles - I have nothing to say except you should not be calling plays at any level of organized football. Good God that last drive was head scratchingly awful. Sorry, not drive - three and out...Run the ball and move the clock. Force them to call timeout. If you are going to pass again - and again, toss a screen.

[mabrowndog]

6 games today. 5 involving Big Ten teams, and 3 of those against SEC schools.

[Old Fart Tree]

Kiffin is a joke. I have no idea how he turned a preseason #1 into a 7-6 team.

EDIT: Well, I have some idea...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Oklahoma State is going to beat Purdue by 50 points.

[McBride11]

Far more interested in the USC - Mich game than Neb- UGA. And Shannon Spake, not sure who you are, but I like.

edit: and wtf, Mich's numbers are bright yellow, aka nearly impossible to read on TV

edit2: Gruden claims Clowney is #1 pick "when he comes out." Even LT only went #2. Willis (the highest regarded LB I can think of in the last 10 years went 11th).
