Wow is Nebraska terrible.  I just don't think they can hold on.

Interesting FG decision by Harbaugh - trailing by 4 with 3:14 to go and all 3 timeouts left.

The QB is terrible.  4th and 11, might as well take the points and trust the defense

[MU82]

Turns out to have been a great call.

TCU just pulled off a great comeback in Waco to remain undefeated.

If you get a chance to see replays, the last one minute is a great watch. No timeouts, TCU still runs with 17 seconds and then manages to scramble on the kick unit. The TCU kicker (who missed a PAT earlier to put them in this hairy spot) pops through a 45 yarder for the win.

TCU remains in Natl Champ hunt

That's as impressive a sequence as you'll see all year

Badgers Bowl eligible for 21st consecutive season with win over Huskers

Their team still sucks though

[Billy Hoyle]

B16 refs bail out Michigan, making sure they have an undefeated showdown next weekend.

These days its a bigger accomplishment not being bowl eligible

Which call was a "bail out"?

[Billy Hoyle]

Which call was a "bail out"?

The final drive. Receiver wasn't out of bounds. Pick play on 4th and 3. The catch that wasn't with 20 seconds left. Reviewing stopped the clock with 20 seconds left (and no time outs) and the call was upheld despite the ball hitting the ground.

Lol. Cmon.... None of those were controversial.

Michigan State lost in double overtime to a terrible Indiana team in East Landing, blowing 2 17-point leads in the second half.  They outgained Indiana by 250 yards and had 29 first downs to Indiana's 11.  Indiana completed two passes.  All game, one of which was in the second overtime.  Michigan State missed a 22 yard fg as time expired in regulation as Sparty didn't center the ball for a terrible kicker.

Mel Tucker needs to cut Kenneth Walker a big fat check

[Uncle Rico]

Not remotely controversial.  The catch that wasn't overturned was a 5 yard reception that set up 3rd down and 5 with :20 left when the refs stepped in.  Michigan had plenty of time to spike it and if it was ruled incomplete, they move back 5 yards and get more time on the clock.  They also have the best K in college football with a helping wind.  Other than that, wildly controversial

Hahahaha oh come on. 4th and 3 was an entirely legal play. "The catch that wasn't" is just you having a decade outdated understanding of what a catch is (the ball can hit the ground). And that gave them an extra what, 5 feet? And then the refs "stopped the clock" a whole 0.5 seconds before Michigan snapped it to spike the ball? Lol.

This Iowa / Minnesota game might be the Big Tenniest game I have ever seen.

I blame antifa.

I still think Lance Leipold is a fantastic coach and will get a better job eventually, but maybe we've put the brakes on him being the front runner for every job.  Giving up 450 yards rushing and 55 points with less than 100 yards passing is BRUTAL.  They're gonna lose 6 of their last 7 and finish 6-6

[The Sultan]

Their start made them look better than they are, but their starting QB was injured. He has accomplished a great deal there already. Nebraska ready? Eh. Idk. But he will have Kansas competitive for a long time.

[The Sultan]

As I said...

Agreed, but their defense has been abysmal, they can't stop anyone even if Daniels was healthy

[Herman Cain]

Michigan State big boosters wasting big money on an un proven Head Coach

Would have been better off putting those dollars to having the best roster money can buy

[The Sultan]

Too afraid of losing him to LSU, though in retrospect he was never seriously targeted by them.

Hope Bruce Feldman gets a piece of that pie

Lane Kiffin to Auburn

Lane Kiffin to Auburn

Fully admit to being totally wrong on this one.  Didn't think he'd be that attracted to it.  I imagine they will do something crazy to make him a top 5 paid coach for it to happen
