San Jose St. is looking to take down Stanford right now. They just tied it up at 17.
Probably not, but the team still gets great recruiting classes, plays a lot of big games, and has the money/facilities to be one of the big boys. I wouldn't write them off forever yet.
That's not right - and I can tell you don't watch a ton of UM football (not like I blame you). The reason the offense was inefficient before Fitz got his footing was that Borges was mashing square peg into round hole - what Michigan needed to be running was the Texas Tech offense, which covers up the arm-strength limitations of the QB but still forces teams to respect the outside. Robinson has a terrible arm (or terrible footwork, which ends up leading to the same thing - weak, wobbly passes) and when Borges tried to have him running pro-style, it was a disaster.
Midwestern weather is a perfectly good excuse for a team starting a KR/PR type guy as a QB. It's not like Chad Henne was slinging bullets into the wind. Live by Denard, die by Denard. The combination of wind and the lack of play-calling creativity did Michigan in. Note that Michigan was able to beat Va Tech without any production from Toussaint, but with sterling numbers from Robinson.
9/21 117 2td/1int, 13 carries 13 yards? Did we watch different Sugar Bowls?
But order early and the pizza will arrive well before the game starts, thus risking a lukewarm pizza by kickoff. I have fallen into this trap today, my pizza arriving a full 15 minutes before the start of my preferred game. Clearly it's still pre-season in the CFBF apartment.
So Penn State might win 3 games this year?
Why do you want them to do that?
How good is Bowling Green these days? They're looking pretty competitive with Florida right now.
EDIT: CBS's ranking of all the FBS teams has them 54th. That's ahead of Pitt, UCLA, SDSU, Purdue, Mizzou (huh?), Texas A&M (double huh?), Cal, Tennessee, NC State...
rusher up the middle that is clearly getting past ball the blocker and the qb lets himself get sacked with open space in both directions.
and that was with pressure as it seemed that northern iowa blitzed but i don't know if more than 4 were coming or not.
And you'd be quite wrong. Michigan shouldn't run the Leach offense. You really want Robinson sitting in the pocket, making reads and checking down? He doesn't have the accuracy to march a team down the field. Now that they have an established RB and a legit Michigan O-line again, they just need to run that inverted veer 20-25 times a game until they finally force the opponent to give up 1-on-1 coverage downfield and chuck it up.
Pitt, late in the 3rd Q vs. Youngstown State, trails 21-10.
No. 2 years away. They're held together with string and good coaching, but the talent level hasn't recovered yet from Rich Rodriguez's "recruiting".
To be fair he probably did not expect the WR to fly out of bounds after he put a hand on him.
I would have expected two years worth of games against Florida receivers would have acclimated 'Bama to this tactic.
Roundtree is about 170 lbs soaking wet.
Tempe > Western PA.
oh yeah, that was me
swear i didn't tell alabama.
After today, I feel confident in saying that they aren't very good, and they're likely the best team in the conference.
First good play BWC has made in his Michigan career.
And they beat an ACC team in that game. How many conferences aren't jokes?
Their QB is atrocious.
Studio d00d on ESPNU.
2. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think roughly 75% of the top 15 teams are from 2 conferences.
Oh well, looks like we'll have a better day than Pitt and PSU at least.
I think they'd be the best team in the Big 10. I'd put them in the top 15, although I think it's too early for any kind of strict ranking due to sample size and the fact teams are going to give inconsistent performances at this point in the year.
M & Ns w Iowa. The rest are in the other one. But for that, I'd still be lost.
Oregon really looking unstoppable tonight, even if you discount Ark St., which is far from a horrible team. UO's redshirt fr. QB is quite a player. Okie St's 84 may not hold up.
I dunno, why is Nebraska playing at So Miss next year (though being moved to NOLA). A&M has @ La Tech on the schedule. Colorado played at Toledo recently but they are broke that what's I read.
Texas played at Wyoming, as did Nebraska recently.
I'm guessing they want a road game that isn't a killer, or they had somebody drop them, and they scrambled for a 2 for 1.
coke to PeteF3
Texas has done this recently with UTEP. I think it makes a lot of sense to play a road OOC game early in the year against a team you think you'll beat. I assume that UTEP makes some good monetary arguments as well.
