NU is bad.

 

So is Arkansas Pine-Bluff. The Salukis are up 30-0 at the half

 

I just read on Salukitalk that SIU has 371 yards of offense at the half, and Ark PB has 10. wow

Well that wasn't predictable...

 

Easy betting tip: Bet on the team playing whomever is on the receiving end of Sylvester's "Pep talk"

 

The Big Ten sucks. If Iowa was any good -- They're not, if you were wondering -- I would take them tonight. The B10 champ will again be decided by the UM-OSU game at the end of the season.

Pretty sure we won't win any of the next 4 games by not being able to complete a pass. Mendenhall isn't taking these other teams for 200.

at the game it was easy to see that Mendenhall is a beast but we will still need a very good performance from Juice to even have a chance to keep it close against PSU or Wisky at home; granted when Juice threw a decent pass the receivers did their best job to drop it

209 minutes into the season, Iowa allows their first touchdown.

IT's too bad since the first two games of the season the rushing attack has really fallen off. This defense teamed up with any sort of offense would make the Hawkeyes contenders against almost any team in the country (excluding probably 5 to 7 teams). Too bad the offense is just horrid right now.

 

They do go back down the field with under 40 seconds thanks to a nice kickoff return and get a TD with 4 seconds left to retake the lead entering the half (10-7 Iowa).

A td made possible by some sweet offensive pass interference

Iowa State takes a 35-24 lead with 5:25 left in the game, promptly allowing a kickoff return for a TD, a botched punt snap that rolls 30 yards into the end zone which Toledo recovers for a touchdown and a blocked FG with :14 left to lose by 1.

 

Glad to see we're back.

I hate Mike Patrick. Georgia misses a 48 yard FG to win it. The wind was heavy diagonally and it pushes it wide left and he screams his stupid line, "Can you believe this?" STFU. Not like it was blocked or he missed a 20 yarder. Damn I am irritated easily today.

That's nothing.

 

Bama nails the OT FG.

 

"What has happend to Britney"

 

Way to be relevant, whatsoever, to college football, while in overtime.

When Eddie McGee takes over at QB (and it will happen eventually), Illinois is going to be a really good team. Kellen Lewis is a stud though, IU still should be a bowl team. The most impressive player in that game other than obviously Mendenhall and Will Davis having 4 sacks was Vontae Davis though. 9 tackles, a blocked punt, an interception, and shut down Hardy all day outside of the one short TD pass, and even on that it was just good coverage and a better throw. I think Vontae has 1st round talent in terms of a corner.

Agreed on McGee, I don't think we will be able to beat these upper half Big Ten teams with Juice being unable to complete any passes over the line of scrimmage. f***ing absolutely agreed on Vontae too. I have such a man crush on the dude. First round talent without question, I have a feeling we aren't gonna have his services for 4 years. Shutting down Hardy is a helluva task and he did it.

 

Another huge improvement from last year is in special teams. Santella has been huge for this team, and it's nice to not have to worry about the punting game losing the game for you.
