NCAA Football 2012 Thread

On an unrelated note, my Hawkeyes stopped the longest winning streak in the country, winning by a point... Against Norther Illinois. That being said, Bullock looks like the real deal and will hopefully stop AIRBHG. NIU also has the highest KenPom rating of all the teams we play until MSU. And this is the team which beat UNI because of two blocked field goals in 2009, and ended up starting 10-0 and winning the orange bowl. I'm hoping its just growing pains.

Oh, and Michigan has always been over rated. Then again, that's probably because they haven't beaten us in 5(?) years.
 
So it was disappointing, but not surprising, to see my Nittany Lions lose to Ohio. I just hope we can win a few games this year, including a few in conference. Lots of the players decided to stick around, so that's comforting, but darn it I still wish we had Silas Redd.
 
After tonight, I've decided that I will go to a SEC school. Could not bear watching shitty option based offenses and crappy defenses every weekend :s.

But good job VATech. LT3 has a hell of an arm.
 
Four missed field goals and a blocked extra point for Penn State, ending up in a close loss.

...

All of my rage.
 
Wtf did Savannah State do to deserve this ?_?

84-0 last week

Looks like this week could be worse (48-0 in the second quarter)
 
I considered posting in the thread to try to tell people to watch the game but like was anyone going to notice? Probably not ._. the defense was NONEXISTENT, it was ridiculous, but two 300 yard receivers, 13 passing TDs, and something like what 4/6/4/5 TDs by quarter was hilarious. Basically every score of a quarter represented the outcome of a real game: 14-14, 21-21, 21-7, 21-14 lol

Speaking of which, play of the week?

The best part how was he was a half misstep away from running down the whole fucking sideline, I think he only missed it because he was so dumbstruck by what he had just done that he got a little too out of sorts.
 
I was gonna plug Middle Tennessee State's (fuck those guys) play, but I think that catch has it beat.

Here was the catch:

Scary enough, Tennessee-Georgia was on pace to have a similar score to Baylor-West Virginia through three quarters. 21-10, 9-20, 21-7 through three. Over a thousand total yards allowed by two SEC defenses!
 
Georgia wasn't THAT overrated. Definitely a top 10 team. This was just one of those nights :l

;-; those nights
 
On paper, they were pretty evenly matched, but the stats don't show how terrible Murray is in the clutch, or show the gigantic disparity in play calling ability, or show how influential the crowd was.

The real winner was the South Carolina D-Line. If they can maintain that level of play, South Carolina can beat anybody - Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, none of them have a chance if this defensive line creates that kind of penetration for the rest of the year.
 
So West Virginia again shows that putting all your eggs in the offensive basket is a usable strategy in the Big 12. Blows my mind that they can be ranked that high with that poor a defense, because as soon as they face a team with a stout defense or have an off night, they're going to lose.
 
Awesome win for the Gators. Mike Gillislee has a great chance to lead the SEC in rushing and could creep into the Heisman discussion. Going to learn a lot about LSU next week. We know SC is legit.
 
Man, I was legitimately far more disappointed in LSU than I was impressed by Florida.

That offense couldn't do anything, Mettenburger looked absolutely abysmal out there, and they couldn't get anything going. The one big play they had was a 50 yard pass&catch that ended in a fumble. I don't know how much of that actually is credit to the Florida defense, but I feel like most of the blame goes to the LSU offense.

On the other side, Florida could not maintain any sort of drive until late in the game. LSU's defense had been on the field a ton, and a lot of players got injured and left the game because of cramps or something else. I don't know how many came back, but I must have seen 6 or 7 LSU players leave the field at some point, the majority on defense. Add an injury riddled defense to a tired one, and that's where you get Florida's two late touchdown drives. Look at the first half; Florida had 32 yards, yet held onto the ball for more than 17 minutes. That's the exact recipe for an unsuccessful offense to start dominating in the 2nd half.
 
Pretty sure that was the grossest injury I've ever witnessed.

Feel bad for Lattimore. That's going to seriously hurt his draft stock / football career period.
