If Stanford rolls it's kind of like Michigan's JV team winning too. We're so good we have one of the best coaches in the country as our backup plan; it's like having Denard and Tate together.

I'm typically very pro-Big 10, but I can't help being thrilled at how awful Purdue looked and how vulnerable Penn State looks.  Wins are wins, and Michigan needs lots of them.  Thoughts?

If Alabama's Offense was half as good as pundits thought they'd be killing Ark.  There's still a half to go, but it's not like Ark is some defensive monster.

Mallet is looking good right now and Arkansas is playing tough, but this Alabama offense is just not that impressive.  I never thought of the SEC as a great offensive conference, though, so maybe this shouldn't come as a surprise.

sorry to all. Posted the Mallet question to another thread (even though I think it belongs there...).

Arkansas is the perfect team to expose the young defensive seconday of Alabama. The Crimson Tide will still excel, but it's a good matchup for the Razorbacks.

Now, for UCLA beating Texas...I can't explain that...

Still can't believe my eyes. UCLA is thwamped by 35 to Stanford yet has no problem going on the road and taking it to Texas? Stanford looks damn good. Also, NBC had a nice short on Jim Harbaugh's first phone call from Bo when he got the job at San Diego.

The suck from Arkansas' D can be heard around the world.  They just played way over their heads in the 1st half. If they hold Bama to a FG here that would be a miracle.

Mallett still shows that tendency to force a throw or two....Looks like Mallett is gonna get one chance to drive them down for the win unless McElroy continues to stand in the pocket with no presence and get rocked and fumbles one.

I was sad when Weis was fired, because he made it so much fun to hate Notre Dame. But, turns out it's still really fun to cheer against Kelly and Notre Dame. Good to learn.

Jeez Mallett....that big of an arm and it's not 10 rows deep is unexcuseable for that.

Terrible Terrible decision by Ryan there, I feel bad for the kid.

I will take a mobile QB over a pocket passer every day of the week and twice on Sunday's. Hate to say it, but RR was right not to cater his offense to Mallett.

I am legitimately less surprised by that as I am by an 0-4 EMU team scoring more on the OSU defense than any of its other opponents (Miami's special teams scored 14 of their 24).

I actually thought Texas was ripe for the upset.  Their offense has been out of synch this year.

Patrick Peterson (LSU CB) just struck the pose after a punt return for a touchdown. 

1. Isn't it way too early for that (Plus it was planned, which is far less awesome than Denard's natural pose)

 

2. Who does he think he is?

Every time you think Boise is going to shit down this game, OSU pulls out something to keep themselves alive. They are certainly being helped by the amount of penalties being called on Boise.

 

I missed the hit on James Rodgers, but from the sounds of it, he got rocked and is out for the game.

So, Musberger was talking about how the blue field became blue. Then he had to ask what the field would look like if it was green like other fields. My first thought was; well, its pretty f-ing simple, Brent. It would look like every other freaking football field... THEN, they even had to have the guys in the "truck" manipulate the picture color to make the damned blue field green.

Anyone else seen the movie Idiocracy?
