and ASU coach Gus Malzahn, sighing like a 12 year old Justin Bieber fan?

They'll have to wait until 3-9 is in the bag and somebody in admin mortgages off all of Auburn University's real estate I'm afraid.

I don't generally have the opportunity to watch weeknight games (which I consider to be sort of a good thing...), but I don't recall ever seeing Desmond call a game. Is this a new thing?

Well, the Arkansas State safety got there in time to witness the catch. I suppose that counts for something less tangible than reception yards and botched coverage.

Arkansas St. redeems itself with a forced fumble, then promptly run it to the UL-Lafayette 30 yard-line in kind.

That fake by UL-Lafayette....can you actually call a "Do you want this? No? Do YOU want this?" play action fake ending in an arm punt that was thankfully not intercepted?

I suppose it doesn't matter much if you score on the next play, of course.

This thread reminds me of the people waiting in line at the "Apple" store in the Samsung commercials. So desperate for the object of fixation (CFB in this case), that even the most unsatisfying, self-disparaging experience will do. Yes, I am counted among this sorry lot.

ASU just shredded the field on that drive.

I know I'm alone, but going to miss the spread offense and defenses freaking out about running QBs at Michigan.  We might recruit a Drew Henson again someday, but that's probably as close as we'll get for a long, long time.  Well so be it.   Hurray for sissy sliding QBs from now on!

I love Denard, but I would rather have a QB with a big and accurate arm. A QB's most important job is throwing the ball, not running it. Now, if we could find a QB who can run as fast as Denard who also has the arm I described earlier, I'm obviously all for him.

Wow, a goal line stand by UL-Lafayette means that Arkansas State settles for a chip shot field goal, so 43-14 Red Wolves. I assume Gus Malzahn sees this as a slight of some kind.

That being said, Arkansas State beats itself in coverage a lot, normally by falling down, or so it seems.

Not only is there a thread about Arkansas State vs Louisiana Lafayette, but passionate fans (read: time wasters like me) have bothered to click through, read, AND comment...
