Stanford FB dive, TD, two point conversion is good, 21-0. Then after a touchback, Prince tries to run, is stripped, and Stanford takes the fumble to the house. Game over.
Have you ever seen a player do what Denard Robinson's done over the past two weeks? I just think he's one of those special players that can do this kind of shit against any defense. Do I think he'll get about 500 total yards against a team like Ohio State? No. ...but he'll still make a lot of plays.
You should really call Owen Marecic by name. He's the beast who helped Toby Gerhart win (in a just world) the Heisman. If we hadn't drafted Conner, I'd have been calling for Marecic next year. Ugly game overall. Cardinal have looked a bit off offensively, but a solid win nonetheless.
Yep, they are. They're good at a couple things but really bad where it counts, offensive line and secondary. Basically, they give up big plays and don't have any time to create their own. Oh and they have nothing at RB for the third straight season. I don't know if you're talking about the certain throw I am, buy he made a strike across his body to the far sideline that made me immediately say "top 5".
Until I see what Uconn and ND really amounts to, it is pretty silly to get excited over something against 2 non-conference opponents, remember what we were giddy about this time 6 days ago? Oh what a huge win! Boise St is for real! Now that VT lost to a D1AA team we aren't saying that anymore. Richrod has put the entire offense on one small guy that will get nailed 10-15 times a game, with that many carries that is guaranteed no matter how elusive he is. At least with Richrod's good WVA's team they had a Noel Devine or a Steve Slaton to absorb some of the punishment, Shoelace is literally the only person on offense that can do anything on this offense.
Oh man I'm glad to see the world has not changed and MSUJet will continue his anti-ND bias no matter what. ND's D looked good (Te'o is going to be a high end draft pick someday). ND's O looked good. If Crist stays in the game the whole time, I think you'd have seen a different outcome. And you know what? MSUJet would STILL be trashing ND. No one's saying they're an elite team, but give credit where credit's due.
They were smacked early seemed to figure it out in the 3rd quarter then did the dumbest thing possible and went prevent defense against a dink and dunk offense. I think it is that beyond stupid decision that is bringing up my venom more than anything. That and allowing one guy to rip you a new one.
What does it matter if the team they played was a non-conference opponent? You're basically saying that Ohio State's big win over Miami didn't matter at all because they're in different conferences. I don't give a shit if VT lost to James Madison. That was a still a huge win for Boise State. I'm going to try looking at college football through your eyes: Didn't Michigan State lose to Minnesota in a shootout last year? That must mean that South Dakota is better than MSU because SD came out and beat Minnesota yesterday...in a shootout. ...back to my point of view: Virginia Tech, Minnesota, Kansas, and the other FBS teams that were "upset" by FCS teams are still more talented than the teams they lost to. They were just out coached and out played yesterday. (FTR, the Hokies still have a decent shot in the ACC)
The loss to James Madison killed the Boise St momentum, sure Va Tech could bounce back and have a decent shot at the ACC, although yesterday has shown that the ACC is pretty damn weak. And your analogy is terrible last year's performance has nothing to do with this year, but past performance this year is vital for Boise St to have a shot of the nat title over a 1 loss big conference team. I'm saying that what is big now may mean nothing in a few weeks let alone at the end of the year, just look at the Jets as the easy way of looking at it, we were world beaters after 3 weeks only to see that until the playoffs were a whole lot of mediocre.
Boise State doesn't need any kind of momentum. They haven't lost a regular season game since 2005. They've won 44 straight games at home. I think they're last loss was in 2008 against TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl. They don't need momentum. Their All-Time record in the WAC is 60-4...that means they've lost a total of four conference games in 8 years. That don't need momentum. They will probably destroy every team in the WAC and have tons of confidence going into their BCS bowl. ...and the ACC is god awful. That's why I think VT still has a good shot at winning it.
Even Kiffin is starting to get it. He said after last night's game: "They outcoached us today. I would say we were outcoached."
If they want to go to a BCS game they have no need for momentum, in that you are right. If they want a shot a national championship, they will need all of the momentum that they can get, and the image of beating up a mediocre VT team even if they win the ACC doesn't help them. The VT win was supposed to be a win on a road atmosphere against a top 10 team in the country, now it is that they barely beat a mediocre ACC team, a weakling versus any top tier SEC, Big 12 and Big 10 team.
No. If they want to go to the BCS Championship, they'll need fewer than 2 BCS conference teams to finish undefeated. That's it. Given their high rank to start the season, if Boise wins out and there's one other undefeated team left (or none), they're in.
No way, there is no way the voters will pick an undefeated Boise St team over the flavor of the month 1 loss SEC, Big 12, and any other name brand team out there. Remember 2/3 of the poll is based on the subjectivity of the voters, and they never choose the small school over the big time school if there is any debate. Especially if that team loses early and goes on a huge streak to win the conference.
I've seen my share of decent college RBs before at USC, but I'll just add to the praise and say that Marcus Lattimore may be the best RB from USC, including George Rogers. And that from only his first 2 games, holy shit what an absolute, unstoppable beast. He looked like a man running against the jv junior high kids. A mismatch from the start. If the Gamecocks get 2 more seasons from him before he enters the draft, we may have another Heisman. :beer: :smile: (I would have posted this yesterday, but I wasn't home and out of cell range, watching the game at my brother-in-law's house. Had to get that in here, though)
I've been watching some of Cincinnati/NC State, and Collaros has looked terrible. He's missing open receivers with no pressure on him.
Let's go UMass! Up 10-7 at Michigan and with a 1st and goal at the 9. Represent the CAA! More ammo how Villanova can compete at higher levels. Remember Appalachian State! EDIT: Make that 17-7!
The Hogs are beating the Bulldogs 24-10 at the end of the 3rd quarter. I picked the Hogs to cover, so I like the score.
