2011 NCAA football thread

[GirlySports]

Some guy named Griffin III is pretty good.

[Montana Moe]

The Washington QB is no slouch, either. He'll be a good one by the time he's a senior.

[GirlySports]

This football game is insane, 81 points already and there's 8:30 left in the THIRD QUARTER!

Edit: make that 89.

[MRCboicgy]

The announcer just said "These guys don't know what they are doing"

I think that was in regard to BU's defense

[Montana Moe]

The 109 points scored in the game tonight surpasses the 106 Alabama's defense allowed all season.

Madness.

It ended at 123.

I'm waiting for the "If Baylor or Washington were playing an SEC defense they'd have -10 yards" declaration on sports talk radio tomorrow.

I only saw parts of that game but those were a couple of absolutely brutal defenses. They couldn't stop the most basic of plays.

It honestly looked like the defences gave up at times just wanting to get the ball back.

Chris Speilmann was in the booth and he just threw his hands up. There's nothing the defense could do.

At one point in the game Washington was up 42-31 and Baylor scored a TD and were lining up to go for 2.

The PBP guy asked "Is it too early to strategically be going for 2 in the middle of the 3rd Quarter? Being down by 5 could cause a problem later."

Speilmann replied: "It doesn't really matter, these teams can do whatever they want. Going for two or not means nothing when there's going to be another 50 points scored from now. They could go for two on every TD!"

Because they were terrible, not because these were the two greatest offenses of all time.

Leaving at 11 pm when I get off work tohead to Jacksonville for the gator bowl. Its a 500 mile drive and 8 hours. I will get in around 8 am and get a couple hour nap in then head to the game.

Case Keenum hs 380 yds passing in the 1st HALF against Penn St.

Remarkable.

New Ducks helmets for the Rose Bowl:

[MRCboicgy]

Well the Big Ten is losing 4 bowl games. The only one that's close is the Capital One bowl - where it seems Nebraska is dominating the game but not the turnover or special teams battle.

Georgia leading big time on MSU. This could be ugly in the second half

[Stay Golden]

This 28-28 at half Wisc vs Oregon Rose bowl has been outstanding football.
Loved the Suckeyes having their tails handed to them in the Gator bowl,

[KelVarnsen]

This game is nuts.

I think the Badgers defense is blinded by those helmets.

those are the most fancy helmets I have ever seen at any level of football. Esp the Corners and WR with the chrome tinted visors

[OILFAN #81]

Looking forward to the Fiesta Bowl and Andrew Luck!

[transplant99]

Keenum ended up with 532 yds on 69 pass attempts...thats insane.
