Does this field remind you of another field which we may know about? *COUGH* 2006 OSU game *COUGH* *COUGH*

This is just getting ugly now
Oregon in control
November 12th, 2011 at 10:55 PM ^
Stanford doesn't have an answer to the Oregon ground game. I like that sleeve LaMichael James is wearing; it seems interesting and useful, like a club for a DB (I assume it helps him grip the ball more tightly).
November 12th, 2011 at 10:55 PM ^
I keep telling myself. You are Stanford. You are Stanford. You are Stanford.

405 mills in total donations from Phil Knight to Oregon and Stanford. Amazing. Apparently the going rate for a high-end business school is around $100 million dollars. Ross B-school cost around 100 million, as I recall, and Knight's donation to Stanford for their business school was listed as $105 million by the announcers.

If Stanford scores - do they just inside kick from here on - their D is not going to stop Oregon - not going to catch up by trading tds
November 12th, 2011 at 11:02 PM ^
Damn auto- correct - meant onside kick
November 12th, 2011 at 11:03 PM ^
oregon goes for 2 on its first TD but they don't go for 2 on this last TD when it makes sense. making the 2 would put them up 21 not 20. we'll see if it comes back to bite them.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
Was surprised by that too
November 12th, 2011 at 11:07 PM ^
lead is already down to 13.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
And fast. I was at the Oregon/Cal game last year, and Oregon ran down 10 minutes on their final drive -- without scoring. They can do slow-motion when they want to, in addition to the whole warp-speed thing.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:08 PM ^
It looks to me like Stanford runs a 3-4 base defense. Is this correct? They also use 2 down linemen on some plays.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:13 PM ^
stanford is putting primarily 6 or 7 guys in the box at this point in the game. how dumb. they continue to get gashed by the zone read. why wouldn't you put an xtra guy in there to stuff the run. dare them to pass.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
another big QB run.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
What is this ghetto play clock management, refs? Shameful, your average scholastic chess tournament has better official time management.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
This ref is absurd.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:14 PM ^
Stanford could score 50 tonight and still get blown out.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Especially with elite athletes on offense AND defense AND special teams.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
I predict a 67-65 final.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:20 PM ^
When did Musberger start calling all the players by their first names? Did I just never notice this until now?
It's like listening to George Blaha call a Pistons' game.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:23 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 11:21 PM ^
And that should do it.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:23 PM ^
It is fascinating to imagine Luck with USC's wide receivers. I think a lot of people high on Barkley would see how good he is.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:21 PM ^

Stick a fork in the tree; they're definitely done now.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:21 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 11:21 PM ^
Game - any other good games still on
November 12th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
Hawaii and Nevada on ESPNU!!!!1
November 12th, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Hawaii-Nevada is the Wild Irish Rose of televised college football. Absolute choke fight in every sense of the term.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:24 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 11:50 PM ^
Thanks - Good call - fun ending to watch - thought it was interesting that Rich Rod kept saying that they should only rush 3 lineman - think I had a bit if a post traumatic flashback
November 12th, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
Is it just me or is Stanford looking fraudtastic? Sure the 3OT win at USC. But then Minnesota almost did the same thing.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Stanford was out-coached, badly, but that doesn't make them fraudulent. They have a ton of major injuries, especially at WR, right now that really reduced their ability to keep pace.
David Shaw might be a fraud as a head coach (he could not have responded to Kelly's play-calling worse), but what Harbaugh built is for real. They would beat anyone in the B1G by a good 20 at the moment.
November 12th, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
After being deprived of them for several years I find them especially beautiful these days. Heck, Phil Dawson kicks more field goals than Cleveland scores TDs. Then again, any excuse to get this beautiful mug on my TV set is fine by me.
Look at that man's jawline. Look at it. He is the model for every square-jawed jersey-wearing Midwestern rust-belt football player out there.November 12th, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
I don't understand wearing a sunvisor at night.
