Late Afternoon Games Open Thread
With So. Miss polishing off a big win vs. Houston, we can look forward to this afternoon's late games:
Iowa St. at #11 KSU - FSN (currently 17-13 K-State at half. They could get a BCS spot if TCU is unable to move up)
UNLV at #18 TCU - Vs. (currently 21-3 in 2nd. See BCS potential)
#22 Texas at #17 Baylor - ABC (No, Baylor will not be in BCS)
#14 Georgia vs. #1 LSU - CBS
Hopefully this last weekend will deliver some more good games. Discuss and enjoy.

This SEC game sucks. I would like nothing more than to see Georgia keep this up and spank LSU but I have to root for the tigers...
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:33 PM ^
If only backs (literally, backs) could catch passes.
....and nice blitz, great pass anyway....incomplete.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:36 PM ^
Gotta catch those balls
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
Does this Murray kid ever throw a tight spiral?
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
Derping it's way through that drive.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
Georgia's receivers are killing their drives. One doesn't even turn around when thrown to, and another drops a sure touchdown.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:35 PM ^
14-14. As long as Texas keeps scoring like this we should be fine.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:35 PM ^
The SEC is just awesome and so fun to watch. Obviously watching a Michigan game trumps any other team, but man, the SEC is unreal.
That was a great onside kick but too bad for them they missed the field goal.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
My bad, hit "save" twice mistakenly.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
There's something about watching college football on CBS I don't like. I don't know if it's the music, Verne Lundquist, Danielson, or something else, but games on that network don't grab my attention like ABC/ESPN games do.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
I feel the same way about Fox.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Yeah, FOX is even worse. You get the feeling they're just filling time between NFL telecasts.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
...and is it me or does Danielson sometimes get abnormally drawn to Lundquist's ties?
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
Could it be the 2006 Florida praisefest from the SEC championship game?
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:42 PM ^
I prefer my ESPN guys over the CBS crew. It's the same with FOX. THe NFL belongs on FOX, college football should not be on FOX ever. It's lame when the FOX guys who analyze NFL games do college games, as if they know what the hell they're talking about.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
Might half explain their abysmal performance... the other half is they are just not very good.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
That has to be the main reason. He was probably busy talking to Texas A&M folks all week and wasn't preparing for this game.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
You came up short of a 1st down. No reason to punch anyone....
Let's see if Georgia's receiving corps can actually catch one here....
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
Georgia should be up 14-0 right now. LSU is extremely lucky not to be getting killed. It makes you wonder if LSU would still be top 2 if they get shellacked today. I say yes, but it would be kind of fun to find out.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
A late season loss ought to eliminate them from the BCS title game. Alas, the system we have sucks.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
3 Really bad drops will come back to haunt Georgia I fear, even though I think we are supposed to root for LSU.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Hopefully Iowa State can pull the upset at Kansas State to solidify our position.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Iowa St fake punt converts for first down. Lets do it Cyclones.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
If Tacopants played for the Bulldogs, that's a big play there...
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
the fact that les doesn't have a QB could help Georgia stay in this game. Just not sold on Jefferson or Lee....UGA D has been solid the last couple weeks and the LSU O at least to me is very ordinary.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
i haven't seen all of the SEC teams but in general i think most of their teams have shitty QBs, which makes their D's overrated. This GA guy may be the best, but where would he rank in the B1G?
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:46 PM ^
that was a horseshit call on that good punt by GA.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
Are you saying they had enough people on the LOS? I couldn't really tell with the strange formation.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
they clearly had 7. but justice was served. he boomed another punt.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
It could have been one of those calls where the player was on the LOS, but too far off it. I remeber our OL getting called for that because of tackle was set slightly off the line to get into his pass blocking stance.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
TEXAS TD!!!! 21-14
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
Let's see if Georgia O-line will keep blowin' up LSU's front.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
Iowa state FG all tied at 23
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
Iowa St ties it up....and LSU still looks like they know they are in the title game no matter what. Come on Les how about a little fire from your damn strong football team.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
LSU's got a BAD case of the dropsies.
I'm torn between snickering and crying (due to BCS implications for M).
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
I am also very torn in this game.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
If ISU wins this game, then I will become an instant GA fan! I can't stand LSU and I don't like rooting for them!
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
SO if ISU wins then it doesn't matter what happens in the SECCG?
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
Georgia winning is not good for us... They would take away one more BCS slot. If TCU makes it into the top 16 then there are no spots left and top 14 is meaningless.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
bama and lsu are locks; 2 team max. a ksu loss guarantees that UM would be top 14.
December 3rd, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
what am i thinking. if GA wins, they are in and LSU out of the BCS. weird. going from #1 to out!
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
I'm pretty sure that we still need Georgia to lose. If they win the SEC could get 3 BCS spots.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
....but I almost want Georgia to score on this drive because I want to see at least one completed pass.
....or they could just run it. Given the last few drives, I don't blame them.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
They've been only an apparent case of oily skin away from being in that position. Lots of butterfingers in this game.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
If the GA WR can catch then it should be at least 14-0
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
This is supposed to be the #2 rushing defense in the nation? Not as easy when you face a balanced offense is it? I agree that SEC defenses thrive on stacking the box against bad QBs and gun shy offensive game plans. LSU does not look like the consensus #1 team so far. And how Georgia managed to win 10 straight with these receivers is a mystery to me.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
This thread is going to turn into a monster.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
The Houston thread surprisingly got lots of posts.
