After last week's upset at Harvard, Penn plays for a share of the Ivy League crown when they face Cornell at home, 1pm ET Saturday on the Ivy League Digital Network.

 

[Infield Infidel]

USF obliterating Cincinnati 51-3 at the half. Quentin Flowers with 4 TD passes. USF forced 5 turnovers and ran for 235 yards.

 

[canderson]

Christian Hackenberg still sucks I see.

Wait Franklin punted from the Michgan 34????? What the fuck?

 

[runnels3]

Looks like you're in, losh. Quakers up by 20 in the 2nd.

 

[sachmoney]

Zettel should be gone.

 

[sachmoney]

These refs are fucking horrible.

 

[sachmoney]

Magnuson got beat badly. Damn.

 

[shawnrbu]

Hackenburg's got guts.

 

[Al Zarilla]

What's that "carwash" throw mean again?

 

[sachmoney]

These refs are fucking horrible.

Hits guy in shoulder.

/illegal block below the waist

You have got to be kidding me. The refs are keeping Penn State in this game.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hits guy in shoulder.

/illegal block below the waist

You have got to be kidding me. The refs are keeping Penn State in this game.

Michigan #86 was down around Penn State's #15 ankles, although the announcer said what you said.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Uncatchable ball, calls DPI.

 

[sachmoney]

Michigan #86 was down around Penn State's #15 ankles, although the announcer said what you said.

He hit him in the shoulder and fell...but okay.

 

[shawnrbu]

FAU tied in The Swamp with 6 to go.

 

[canderson]

All the bs calls Michigan has got against PSU is getting paid back today.

 

[canderson]

4 trips within the 8 yard line with 1st down, 3 FGs. That's how to lose right there.

 

[sachmoney]

Don't understand the call to kick the field goal there. Need a TD here to ice it. One timeout left for Penn State.

 

[canderson]

Don't understand the call to kick the field goal there. Need a TD here to ice it. One timeout left for Penn State.

Offensive play calling/coaching isn't a Penn State strong suite.

 

[canderson]

I picked Michigan by two TDs. This four or five play scoring drive will help get there.

 

[sachmoney]

Yikes, that's roughing the passer.

 

[shawnrbu]

FAU tied in The Swamp with 6 to go.

Going to OT.

 

[canderson]

That Michigan player should be thrown out. Good god that hit was wayyyyyyyyyy late.

 

[LogansDad]

Yikes, that's roughing the passer.

Yup, but the QB complaining about it so much that he had to use the last timeout hurts more than the non-call.

 

[canderson]

BTW good thing Franklin played for 3 on that last drive at the 1. Really helped out.

 

[LogansDad]

That Michigan player should be thrown out. Good god that hit was wayyyyyyyyyy late.

I mean, it was definitely a penalty, but thrown out? Really?

 

[canderson]

Wow Citadel beat South Carolina.

 

[canderson]

I mean, it was definitely a penalty, but thrown out? Really?

Didn't he have a personal foul already? If not my bad, thought it'd be his second PF.

 

[LogansDad]

Didn't he have a personal foul already? If not my bad, thought it'd be his second PF.

Oh, gotcha. I just turned the game on, so I probably missed that. Apologies.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Florida scores first in OT but the XP is blocked. Oh my.

 

[Average Reds]

The reffing in the Mich-PSU game was as bad as I can remember for both teams.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Wow. Refs refuse to call two obvious PIs against fla

 

[shawnrbu]

Absolutely gutted for Beamer.

 

[shawnrbu]

JuJu just went down while making a cut. Yet another sad non-contact injury.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pendleton #37 for MSU is pretty thick-bodied to be catching a TD pass. Encourages all thick-bodied kids that want to play a skill position.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Rugby style kick in the rain equals crappy punt by OSU. 7 - 7 v MSU.

 

[canderson]

Meyer's team and he himself have seem uninspired all season. It's weird.

The play calling has been bizarre on all their games.

 

[RedOctober3829]

 

[Al Zarilla]

Terrible muff by Michigan state.

 

[sachmoney]

Both teams are running it with their QBs essentially every play. Ohio State managed to do a Tebow-esque start to run and pass to the wide receiver play. State has been running the speed option. This is bizarre.

 

[dcmissle]

So the line was off by 17 points. Oh St played with fire all year, and there you go

 

[AMS25]

Down goes Ohio State....

 

[soxhop411]

down goes Ohio State

 

[soxhop411]

-

 

[Ale Xander]

GEIGER COUNT IT

 

[E5 Yaz]

That could drop Ohio State all the way down fourth in the ESPN NCAA Football Playoff Standings

 

[canderson]

Good riddance Buckeye. They have looked checked out all year. Meyer likely retires after this season so I guess he couldn't get the energy to coach them up after last year's miracle-like run.

 

[shawnrbu]

Meyer isn't going to LSU after they get rid of The Hat?

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Ughhh ... Hines Ward??

 

[BigSoxFan]

ND might win by 30 tonight
