You shouldn't be able to object people for hits like that. This isn't soccer.

Look. It is what it is. These kids know these rules and still they hit like this.

I still think they should get 2 penalties before they get ejected.

Bad rules deserve to be complained about. Like the NFL's rule that an automatically reviewed play can't be reviewed if a coach throws the challenge flag.

Ejections for personal fouls like that changes the nature of any game it happens in. Not some minor rule.

@Big John: You shouldn't be able to eject people for hits like that. This isn't soccer.

You get one penalty, sure it could have been unintentional. Second time shows malicious intent and ejection is absolutely deserved.

Where is the malicious intent? That is crazy. Football is a ####### contact sport.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Um, defense is really hard for Louisville. Isn't Charlie Strong a defensive guy?

It's funny how often defensive coordinators end up having better offenses than defenses once they become head coaches.

Just throwing out a theory here. Maybe they make sure to go out and get a good OC since they know less about that side of the ball, while on defense they just promote up guys that were under them when they themseves were a DC.

Aware of that. I played through college. If you don't agree that helmet to helmet and targeting hits are a major problem, then I got nothing for you.

Mizzou definitely needs to catch up to the rest of the SEC in the stadium capacity department.

TCU has picked off three OSU passes to stay in this game early. OSU better watch out in the second half. That's when TCU's O gets moving.

 

[Spartans Rule]

After a couple weeks of experimenting with the concept of offense, Michigan State is back to playing like Michigan State - leading Purdue 7-0 at halftime on a defensive touchdown.

 

[Abraham]

This is a different Tennessee team then a month ago.

 

[GeauxTigers]

Florida's offense is terrible.

 

[BigJohn]

Holy crap. That's actually what happened.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Oklahoma State's uniforms are burning my retinas.

 

[BigJohn]

Just saw the Vanderbilt attempted-trick-play-turned-pick-6-the-the-other-way play.

Yeah that was brutal, oof.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Syracuse DL just broke his leg. Not a pretty sight.

Looks like the crisis was averted.

TCU defensive players must want to punch their offensive teammates in the face every damned day.

 

[Steve Tasker]

What the heck just happened on Gameday with Bill Murray?

I don't know, but I enjoyed it. He picked UCLA over Stanford because Stanford students have to go to school and UCLA students don't, and UCLA cheerleaders had a better recruiting class. Then he picked Texas Tech over WVU because Jerry West isn't playing this week.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

TCU defensive players must want to punch their offensive teammates in the face every damned day.

If that's the case, then Gator defenders must want to use flamethrowers on their offensive counterparts.

Just before the half the Gators had 22 yards on a drive and it was their longest of the half. Then they had a 9-yard sack and lost fumble to end it.

 

[Slapdash]

Feed Mike Davis. He is the total package.

 

[Slapdash]

Yep. Playing confident in both phases of the game.

Update: after 3 quarters, neither offense has reached the red zone. Still 7-0.

This.

 

[Brady Marino]

Mizzou QB Maty Mauk is the 1st QB this year to throw over 165 yards against Florida this year.

He has 236 yards. (and this despite showing that he's a redshirt freshman at times)

 

[Slapdash]

This.

Going up to 77K soon right? Their stadium is already bigger than four others I think.

Yes. Just needs to be built lol. Faurot Field is pretty cozy for a top 25 program, much less the SEC.

 

[Steve Tasker]

NW vs Minn getting good....NW just scored to cut it to a 1 score game with ~2 mins left in the 4th. ESPN2.

 

[Christo]

TCU/OSU about to get interesting too.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Great game here in Knoxville. Nice to watch a good game where I could care less about the outcome, need to watch more games like that to be honest.

 

[Christo]

TCU/OSU about to get interesting too.

17-10 with 7:00 to go after it looked like OSU was going to run TCU out of the stadium on homecoming.

 

[Slapdash]

Spurrier is calling some awful plays today.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

How has Syracuse won any games?

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

How has Syracuse won any games?

No idea how they beat NC State. Ga Tech stinks and is treating Syracuse like they are D2 or something.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I've been mostly focused on Florida's problems, but I think Mizzou is for real and this 2nd string QB Mauk can play.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Is Spurrier really going to go for this?

 

[Abraham]

Carolina going for it from their 25, 4th and 2. Oh my.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Is Spurrier really going to go for this?

Two times now. What is he doing?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Spurrier>wat

 

[Slapdash]

WTF was that?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

What a catch!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Wow, great catch!

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

hell of a catch by Tennessee

 

[Steve Tasker]

What a catch! Tennessee in business.

 

[Abraham]

Oh my god. What a catch.

 

[bosoxs45]

Holy crap, what a catch!

 

[scottybo]

HOW did he catch that.....wow.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Steve might find himself wishing he had those 2 TOs he just burned.

 

[bosoxs45]

Georgia

 

[Doctor Detroit]

The old ball coach really out-coached himself with those timeouts, what a moron.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Georgia

How did Vandy score again?
