Don't feel bad for a team that has quit. Herbie is correct with that one.

With Delvin Cook at RB and the way they are recruiting they will still be very good. Also possibly Braxton Miller.

I think Phil Knight sent FSU defective equipment or something. How is this happening?

They milked the play clock and ran the ball every play.

Noles D just gave up.

They should just call the game so we don't miss any of the next one.

But they wouldn't be under the BCS ranking system. FSU was undefeated.

Hard to feel bad for a team that has quit. FSU has been living life on the edge all season.

As Bobby Boucher's momma once said, the chickens have come home to roost.

that the FSU defense has quit. I don't like that at all. Those kids may be defeated but to say that on national television... man. If I were one of their parents, I'd be pissed. Herbie is such a dick sometimes.

If you spend 4 or 5 years doing something and the realization hits that it is over that's a big thing. FSU isn't the first team for this to happen to and it won't be the last.

and it may be obvious but why say it? Those kids bust and sacrifice a lot for that moment and because they are being bested, he says they quit. No reason for that. Just compliment Oregon on being a well oiled machine firing on all cylinders and FSU is just not getting it done. Analyze plays and talk about trends during the game and highlights. Use your wisdom of the game to tell me what they could do to make a difference, even if small, do not tell me they are quitters. No doubt, FSU players, coaches, parents and fans would be mad hearing him say that. What if he said that about Jake Ryan or Jordan Kovacs? Would you be like, yeah he's a quitter?

I think its safe to conclude that injuries were the reason Oregon lost to Arizona.

The crazy thing is I don't think Oregon is trying to run up the score.

They ran the play clock down to under 5 every time and ran the ball up the middle every time. FSU could've called all out blitzes and they just stayed in their base, missed tackles, let Oregon run all over them.

Coming to this game FSU had a lot of close call loses with decent teams..now that they are playing a really good team the true colors are showing. You cant have 5 turnovers and expect to win against a really good team.

You can't have five turnovers and expect to beat anyone. From Oregon on down to Purdue.

I don't see Oregon beating Alabama...

It'll be a high scoring game, but Bama doesn't make mistakes like FSU did today. I see a 52-42 type win for Bama.

FSU truly had a legit shot to score on every single possession. Have they even punted?

Nick Saban and his boys aren't going to make that kind of mistake.

It will be a hell of a game, thats for sure.

I wouldnt be as quick to count out the Ducks as you are though.

And I'm not counting them out at all...I'm just saying that I'd pick Bama in that game. But that doesn't mean Oregon can't or won't win.

They're DAMN good.

Bama doesn't make mistakes? Tell that to Ole Miss. Bama is just lucky Auburn had one of the worst 4th quarter collapses of the last decade.

Alabama makes mistakes; probably not TOs on multiple drives, but they aren't perfect, and Saban will only have about a week to prepare his team. And they have a -1 TO margin on the year, while Oregon has one of the best margins in the country at +17. I'd put Alabama as a slight underdog going into that game, especially given how Oregon's defense has looked.

Ducks have been in 2 seven point or less games and only 3 games of 12 points or less.

Oregon would absolutely kill OSU.

There are ten minutes left in the game. How much does ESPN delay the start of the Bama/OSU game, or at what point do they switch over?
