Peyton Manning

Great comeback by Auburn, but they should never have put themselves in that position.

johnmcdnl

and they've done it

what a come back - I love college football

Craking last few minutes to BC game. 18 seconds left and a downed NW players has given BC a lifeline and stopped the clock for them.

Edit: damn false start and this new rule boll0cks 4 seconds from 14. Damn college ball adapting NFL rules

Peyton Manning

Let's go Trojans!

Matt Barkley is such a stud, and such a leader. Kid has everything, gonna be a franchise QB at the next level.

The wizwig forum is by far the best out there. The reason the cinci game is not on their is solely down to the opponent they are playing. Probably no one bothered with it or mainstream station showing it stateside so you will find the streams harder to get.

Every game I watched today I got from that forum including some DIII and DII games. But like all streams sometimes you wont find the ones you want. But I wouldn't say its gone to sh1t.

I meant the wiziwig main site isnt working, probably should have clarified what i meant. The forum is pretty good i must say. Still no luck with a stream but its a washout anyway. Bearcats 26 up now

True that but talking to a few lads on there, the main site will always be sh1te as they dont want it shut down again. They are trying to encourage folk to use the forums more. Wonderful world of streaming

Its strange that no one bothered with a stream though. Cinci generally always have their games streamed. I guess the regulars just weren't bothered with Austin Peay haha

Peyton Manning

That Oregon uniform is so freaking cool.

Thats a shame. Much prefer the layout of the main site but i'm guessing its down to legal issues

Ya never had a problem getting a stream before. At least its just Austin Peay. Getting all the main play highlights on ESPN website but just aint the same as watching it!

Oregon and Boise are wearing them too, but they got lovely ones. Georgia must have drawn the short straws, theirs is as ugly as a Manning.

Yup and they are horrible. To think Nike have the New NFL contract for 2012 and god knows what sort of crap they will design for the NFL.

you don't see that every day anyways :pac: one of the worst snaps I've seen anyways lol

TaosHum

LSU's Receivers got to start holding onto the ball.

Damn thats a huge **** up by the return man.

Peyton Manning

Barner, that is the most retarded decision I've ever seen. What was he thinking!?

johnmcdnl

I've been watching college ball for 24 hours now and I've seen and heard more stories of madness, crazy plays, mistakes, huge comebacks, big scores etc etc etc than I've ever seen in the NFL :pac:

That returner for Oregon not calling a fair catch there and then running backwards and fumbling for a easy run in for a TD and then follow that up with a missed point after... that's the first point after I've ever seen missed I think

I love college ball so much already who needs the NFL :pac:

Mikeyt086

This is my first season watching college football. Have been a fan of the NFL since 1999, but I never really took an interest in college ball.

Spent the summer in Huntington Beach, Southern California and am now a USC fan (solid win earlier).

Absolutely loving this Oregon v LSU game, how often are games between high ranked teams like this? Will be watching every week if they are games of this intensity!

mikemac

In the NFL the QB had a headset to hear the play

I was wondering about how it's done in college football

Excellent article here, worth a read
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/110107_oregon_ducks_signs&sportCat=ncf

I've seen the backup QB on the sidelines making hand signals of course
But I hadn't seen these signs



Sorry if this is old news

Quite often. You usually get at least one cracker a week as the season rolls on.

Nice punt return for TD in the WVU game as well

TaosHum

Raging that the Saints vs Packers game will clash with the Arizona vs OSU game tonight.

Peyton Manning

Watching college kids trying to defend against Justin Blackmon is just not fair. He's just far too good for every single one of them.

He really is crazy good!

Some times I think that I could step in and play QB against a lesser college side I'd be allowed guys like Justin Blackmon, Ryan Broyles & Alshon Jeffery as receivers! They really do make a QB shine!

Peyton Manning

Weeden is killing.

23 attempts, 22 completions. Don't care if they've been mostly for short gains, that's brilliant.

vinny chase

Interesting to see the Jerry Jones of Oklahoma State, T. Boone Pickens in the commentary booth, asked for his opinions (which he'd already given during the week) on the impending collapse of the Big 12.

Something wrong with the boosters having this level of influence, even if he does add a lot obviously to college football.

Loving the fake punt btw!

Peyton Manning

Fake punt was great, but Jesus please let Pickens stop talking. He's putting me to sleep here. Possibly the most boring voice I've ever heard.

UnitedIrishman

Wrong thread... nevermind!

Any opinions on the Florida game tonight looking for a bet for a bit of interest but dont know too much about it.

I was reading a preview earlier, said Florida should be good to for the +4.5 spread. Big win last week whereas Louisville weren't half as impressive, and are playing with a lot of new guys.

Eire-Dearg

Oof, nice interception return for the TD. Lovely block by the sideline to send him clear.

vinny chase

Great win for FIU over Louisville. Love seeing these upsets in college FB!

T.Y. Hilton is ridiculously quick. If he was playing for a BCS team he'd be a household name right now.

Peyton Manning

Oregon State just punted the ball for negative 4 yards. I sh!t you not.

Only in college football folks.

Yep! Watching that myself, needless to say Russell Wilson immediately converts it into a touchdown!

Pegasusbridge

Speaking of bad punting, OSU just had a Punt blocked by Toledo. That set them up at first and goal at the one and they got the TD. They went for a two point conversion and got it so OSU losing to Toledo 8-7.

HeartOfTheCity

I'd forgotten how much I loved college football Saturdays. Watching Wisconsin/Oregon St, having a few beers and pizza en route. Happy days.

Just going off a comment made by the commentary team - do you think Russell Wilson can play in the NFL?

He has almost everything you'd want except the height, which will likely drop him a couple of rounds lower than his talent deserves.

It's funny, outside of the big 3, himself and Kellen Moore are probably the 2 most talented QBs in the country but their height will count against them big time,
