 E/N post incoming. Florida, yet again, is Real Bad™ at offensive football, and only has a respectable record because the SEC East is the worst division in college football. We mustered 3 offensive points against a 110+ ranked defense. We rushed 14 times for 12 yards against a defense that gave up 543 rushing yards in their last game. We paid a $10m buyout for a Saban disciple that was supposedly the The Good One, that made AJ McCarron A Good Quarterback and won 10 games at Colorado State. We cannot recruit guys to either throw or catch the ball proficiently. Wounded ducks and 3rd down drops abounds. All this at a program that made its name with explosive offense.  I know its year 2 and Muschamp poisoned the well with cyanide and dysentery, but goddrat there has to be some better offensive production out here than that. Louisville regularly plucks 3 star QBs out of Florida from under our nose and turns them into goddamned superstars, and somehow we are starting that goofy loving limpdick Luke Del Rio. Needless to say, even at 6-1 I was pretty sure the emperor had no clothes and I was right. Our defense was prone to mental lapses and, furthermore, our entire team appears to be made of delicate crystal--we lost 3 starters yesterday in that horrific effort. I have three sports rooting interests: The Washington Redskins have been the Worst Organization In Sports (in both ineptitude and evilness) since Snyder took over and have been an ineffectual mess since 1992. They have singlehandedly made me hate the NFL. The Atlanta Braves nearly lost 100 games this year and appear to be wandering down the profitability above winning model I hate so much. I can manage without pennants every year, but being mathematically eliminated in June is really loving horrible. They are moving out of Atlanta and out of my heart. The Gators are really all I had left--and after a glimmer of hope last season I'm starting to lose interest in anything other than getting Angry Drunk every Saturday and talking poo poo about them. My wife asks why I watch since I clearly hate it so much. I no longer have a good answer. /depression

News: 62-3 Views:  When Huskers get beat down, they like to make the other team score 62 points, for some reason. Like when Colorado beat them 62-36 and caused them to knee jerk fire Frank Solich, who was probably one of their best coaches in history.

Watching Wisconsin football is like watching a wrestling or mma fight where it's just all choke holds, and not much else. It works, we're good at it, we'd probably be much worse if we tried to make it look pretty, but it's not something the crowd is going to be excited about.

Roasted Donut posted:Penn State is somehow really loving good and is going to finish 10-2. If only they were this good to star the year Those losses did shape the direction of the program over the course of the year. It's hard to say if the team would have grown into what they are now without getting their face kicked in Michigan. It would be interesting to watch a Michigan Penn State rematch. PSU definitely the second best team in the conference right now. Penn State would obliterate Pitt if they played now.

Crotch Bat posted:I 100% think any offensive player who isn't defenseless and lowers his head removes his ability to be "targeted". It invites dangerous play and shouldn't be afford the protection that defenseless players receive. While we're on the topic of overzealous officiating, can we also say that if a quarterback runs out of the pocket and tries to make extra yards along the sideline it is ok for a defender to curb stomp him? I don't think officiating changed the game last night, but Jalen Hurts got a free penalty as he was trying to gain yards, and he is for all intents and purposes a fast running back when he scrambles. There should be no VIP card for him.

All I have to say is "ouch". Before the game I was telling the guy sitting next to me at the bar I was afraid OSU would wake up after back-to-back bad games. They certainly did Glad Tommy Armstrong seems to be okay though. That was terrifying.

Auburn could go to the playoff's with two more wins, but I don't really think they will get there. I'm worried about the Georgia game if White and Pettway are hurt. I think down just one of them Auburn can win and hopefully get healthy enough to at least keep it close against Bama. If both are gone I think Auburn loses those games and ends up 8-4. In any case just having a chance at the playoff is a lot more than I thought Auburn would do this season. My real fantasy scenario is somehow Auburn, Bama, and Clemson all make it to the playoff and we get two re-matches to make everyone mad.

Sometime last season amidst the Treon Harris poo poo show, Coach McElwain was interviewed on the sidelines. While chomping on some gum with his John Elway teeth, he disregarded the reporter's question about the offense and instead talked about what a great atmosphere Florida Field had. I thought at the time that this guy was either a genius and had it all figured out, or he was totally out of his depth. The Arkansas game may have had all of the makings of an ambush game, but that doesn't excuse Florida's offensive performance. Florida's offense looked like a student who had done no studying for an exam at the end of the semester. Nothing worked. There didn't seem to be any preparation. As entitled is this might make me sound, it was disrespectful to the fans to show up looking like that. For a variety of reasons, it would be absurd to remove McElwain before the end of next season. That being said, the end of this season and the early part of next season will be very telling as to his future prospects in Gainesville. Jeremy Foley did not pay his outrageous Colorado State buyout for this kind of performance.

UGA managed to survive the pretty good Kentucky Wildcat onslaught. Not even throwing shade to Kentucky, I am glad to seem them on a roll this year. We ran the ball in more ways that just up the middle, and isn't it a coincidence that we actually got yards? At this point I'm hoping for bowl eligibility, but if we cream auburn in the process I'm good with that too.

Texas won but that score was about 20 points closer than it should have been. We blew two fourth quarter drives that would have ended the game because Sterlin Gilbert went retarded and stopped handing the ball off to D'Onta Foreman who had 300+ yards at the time. Who does that?

Northwestern got their asses completely kicked by both of Wisconsin's lines and kept within striking distance of them until the fourth quarter because of Austin Carr. I've never seen anything like this before, he might be the best receiver we've ever had.

Miami played really, really well and the big take away for me was that Richt made changes to the offense. instead of using the run to set up the pass, he went pass to set up the run. The fact that he was willing to be flexible was fantastic, considering how he's been so god drat inflexible the rest of the season. There were scouts from 13 nfl teams in the stadium last night, and Kaaya put on a clinic. He threw for 4 TDs, no ints, and around half his incompletions were drops that were on the money. He also ran(including a TD). It was great! If we did that earlier in the season, we'd be 7-1. Thanks guys! Defense is still beat up. So beat up in fact, that one of our DEs that had a TFL was a converted TE playing his first game at defense. Coach Kool is magic. Defense gave up 21 points. Not bad with a lot of true freshman and injuries. I was happy with the team. Stadium itself was loud, but not a great crowd. The 4 game losing streak hurt, but so did the rain. It was nasty, and the roof didn't do poo poo. I was wringing water out of my pants 3-4 hours after it stopped raining. A good game
