It was 9-3 at half.
Was the safety actually on the opening kick? I did not see it.
I'm too nervous to be able to detect sarcasm at the moment.

BIG TEHHHNNNN.
Seriously though. If there's any year to win the conference, it's this one.

September 6th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
SEC looks worse this year and they looked worse last year I thought. But Georgia looked beastly good.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
when this weekend costs us a playoff spot. Better blow out ND and hope msu blows out Oregon.

what the perception of the score might be to those who didn't watch (people like you). Point is they struggled. Perfectly aceptable verb for that performance.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:27 PM ^
but it matters when they start playing teams with a pulse. They can't run the ball worth a lick.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:23 PM ^
I watched. PSU couldn't run the ball at all. Got some yardage late on wildcat when Akron started getting worn down, but it was ugly. Don't see how you can claim they didn't struggle Akron had some key drops in the game, and late they got a questionable spot when they were only down 11 and in PSU territory. Could have made it interesting. PSU never looked in danger of losing the game but they didn't not look good. Maybe chalk it up to fatigue from the Ireland trip.

before them? Maybe.
Pitt looked really good when I saw them. Excellent O line play.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:29 PM ^
September 6th, 2014 at 6:32 PM ^
Pitt's o line looked very good.
And yes, I watched the game. BC could have possibly come back and beaten Pitt.
I'd say Pitt probably could hang with Wisconsin and Nebraska this year.
But not on a year to year basis.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:30 PM ^
playing. Glad that transfer worked out for him. He still looks a little small but seems like he's been a starter back there for a while.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:13 PM ^
September 6th, 2014 at 6:15 PM ^
IMO,
MSU will be back where they were in the next 4 years.

Or did you mean Wisconsin, OSU and MSU?

Northwestern trails by 3.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:11 PM ^
Whoever wins the west is going to get slaughtered.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:13 PM ^
Just win. Conference pride is overrated. If we go 13-0 or 12-1 we'll be in the playoff.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
1. Sec champ
2. B12 champ
3. PAC-12 champ
4. ACC champ, 1 loss sec team, or a 1 loss michigan? It's a toss up. That's the issue, especially because ESPN keeps preaching the the B1G is terrible and our teams all struggle against even average out of conference opponents.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:15 PM ^
It wasn't a comfortable 21-3. The game was in doubt halfway through the 3rd quarter.
September 6th, 2014 at 6:20 PM ^
First the Big 10 overall sucks. it makes it sadder we are struggling in this conference.
Second, the Big 10 right now would fall 0-3 to the MAC if nothing changes. That is sad.
Third, no one really cares about the bottom 2/3rds of a conference. I don't judge the SEC on Vanderbilt or Ole Miss or (currently) Tennessee. If the top 5 teams in the Big 10 punched other Big 5 conference teams in the mouth 70% of the time we'd be considered a top conference. We don't. So it is up to us, OSU, PSU, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and yes MSU for now to do the job. If we had 4 of those teams rolling at once it wouldnt matter what Northwestern Iowa Illinois did.
But Wisconsin can't win a big game outside the conference. PSU and UM have been lost in the wilderness and nebraska loses 4 games every year. So these things need to change or perception won't.
