The best cure for momentum is A&M's defense.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Did Manziel really need to scramble around and run into his own lineman on that TD? The guy was open as soon as he snapped the ball.

You think?

Just checking. My Twitter feed seems way more impressed with the play for some reason.

They just showed the replay, the DB was on #15 and then came off of him to cover the Manziel run.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Duke needs to start doing some more QB keepers. The halfback dive is no longer working.

 

[Christo]

How did he stay in bounds???????????

 

[fantasycurse42]

That was amazing!! Only the guys 3rd catch of the season.

I see what you mean. It wouldn't have been a walk in TD on the quick throw.

Doesn't seem like it but since you said something, I made sure to check that when they showed it again. Looked like good coverage until Manziel took off toward the line.

 

[Abraham]

Sumlin rethinking his commitment?

 

[fasteddie_21]

Definitely the most entertaining Bowl game of the year. This is fun!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I am entertained

 

[fasteddie_21]

I'm impressed by Manziel's touch on the long ball tonight.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Joe T gonna cream himself if Johnny Football pulls off this comeback.

@slmandel: Worth noting: A&M did not finish last in the SEC in passing defense. That would be the team playing in the BCS title game.

Good thing they aren't playing a good pass offense Monday.

Sure, Now flip it around. You have a good rush defense, but whose rushing offense did you shut down which compares with Auburn?

They didn't play anybody that good. But all 11 of their defensive starters will likely be drafted. That ain't happening with AU.

Is this really true? That's pretty extraordinary.

Have almost no internet connection where I'm at but there was an article that stated 21 out of 22 starters will likely be drafted including all defense.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

oof

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

3 more scores before the end of regulation?

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

That's a hell of a catch even if it did hit the ground

 

[Brady Marino]

Well, that's one way to throw a pick.

 

[AAABatteries]

Unbelievable but I think TAMU could come back - their D can't suck this bad again, right???

If it was just Duke being pass-happy I might agree. But Duke is also running it down A&M's throat. It wouldn't just take A&M's D having a little pride but it would also require an epic collapse on Duke's part.

Epic collapse

 

[Abraham]

It's duke.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

This might be the worst bowl season ever. And A&M is going to murdify Duke tonight.

The ESPN ticker has been saying A&M is predicted to win by an "average of 4". I've been thinking they need to re-calibrate their prediction calculators.

ACC Coastal might be the worst BCS division ever. VT and Miami were slaughtered, Duke is about to be, GT was mediocre and Pitt was Pitt. Gross.

Update?

Duke started getting slaughtered not long after you talked #### about it. Turns out, college football games have four quarters.

His favorite team plays every day this week, sometimes more than once in the same day.

Wait... When was Duke slaughtered?

 

[JaxBill]

Looks like intermittent rain early for the Gator Bowl with heavier rain later in game.

 

[Mjolnirs]

it's going to be a wet Capital One bowl.

Can't wait for the Dallas Bowl. Go North Texas!

In the second half, 35 to 10.

After you stopped paying attention it appears.

Alright, the next games are getting ready to kick off. You guys can move on to new godawful pissing contests.

North Texas on New Year's Day. Just like it should be.

Is anyone tracking conference performance in the bowls so far?

Not the same without them in the New Orleans Bowl against the 5th-place team in C-USA.

Football expert here, folks.

Go Cocks!!!

 

[jurb26]

LSU just went right down the field without throwing a pass. A little disappointed in that to be honest. I'd like to see Landry and Beckham one more time before the head to the NFL.

 

[Brady Marino]

Congrats to A&M in their 4 point slaughter of Duke.

Update: SEC is dominating.

As expected.

Is nothing sacred?

 

[jurb26]

By my calculation this is how the conferences break down so far.

American 1-2

ACC 3-6, 0-3 vs. top 25

B1G 0-2

Big 12 2-1, 1-1 vs. top 25

Independent 2-1

MAC 0-4

Mt. West 3-2, 1-1 vs. top 25

PAC12 6-2, 1-0 vs. top 25

SEC 3-0

Sun Belt 1-0

USA 2-3

 

[Doctor Detroit]

You won't find too many bowl games with two teams as steeped in tradition, as we have here in the Heart of Dallas Bowl today. This is an instant classic.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

The Gator Bowl might not be half full. I thought Nebraska traveled well and that's as close as you can get for Georgia fans.

It sounds like a home game for Georgia.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

99 yard TD pass for Nebraska

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nebraska 99.8 yards

 

[ffldrew]

Georgia secondary is toast - burnt toast.
