The referee has to blow the play dead before a timeout can be issued. Just because a freeze frame showed :01 on the clock with the QB’s shin on the ground doesn’t mean that there was a full second. There may have been a few tenths left. Not enough time for a referee to blow the play dead before the clock hit :00. The funny thing is I heard this from a Buckeyes fan who obviously had enough of his fellow fan’s whining.

Truth be told, it was pretty bad basketball all the way around. The Lynx shot 37% and 15% from three point range. The Liberty shot 30% and 8%.

Somebody sure was bitter about the result. Cheryl Reeve blasts officiating, says title 'stolen' from Lynx - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said the WNBA title was "stolen" from her team due to what she called "incredibly disappointing" officiating.

Probably last year. Jones, Young and Tua were all starters.

In FCS action #2 NDSU beat #1 SDSU 13-9 in the Fargo Dome.

NCAA D2 Game of the Week. Defending National Champion #1 Harding University upset by #11 Ouachita Baptist University 17-13 in Arkadelphia, AR (birthplace of Bo Nix).

In the FCS we have #1 S. Dakota State over #2 N. Dakota State 9-7 at the half.

NCAA Division 2 Game of the week. #1 Harding University up 13-10 over #11 Ouachita Baptist University at the half.

A defensive battle is the last thing I expected for this Tennessee/Alabama game.

Reminder. This thread is not for discussion about last night‘s game against Purdue.

I’m going to be in the minority here, but Illinois’ uniforms are the best I’ve seen this year. The helmet makes the difference.

Miami’s defense isn’t much better. Louisville has over 400 yards total offense.

Miami will likely play Clemson in the ACC championship game. The ACC refs are going to be torn about who to cheat for in that one.

Shough vs. Mario should be a good one.

He’s just Mark Stoops with a more talented roster.

Harmon is the one and only reason he’s having that procedure. The amount of torque he put on his hand while ripping the ball out was just too much. Add to that the strength of Judkins trying not to lose the ball and you have a lot of force being applied to the bones and ligaments in his hand and wrist. I can promise you Judkins was 100% before that play.

In light of the comments made by Travis Hunter this week. This would be some Wile E. Coyote vs. Acme delivery truck type stuff.

I also think there is something to be said about the administration you work for and the boosters who support you. We all know the horror stories that come from programs like Auburn, Florida and Texas (pre Sark). They have absolutely zero patience with losing. I can promise you that Sark would’ve been out at Texas if head a losing season in his second year. I believe Oregon doesn’t tolerate losing very well, either. Helfrich is the perfect example. For all the missteps Mullens took early in his time at Oregon, he seems to have done quite a good job over the past several years. Sure, there are some sports that need to improve, but I’m sure he has a plan. It’s very easy to tell when a head coach and AD/boosters don’t have a great relationship (USuC ?). I get a sense that Mullens exercises patience with his coaches and they appreciate him.

Take a look at the 31:00 mark of this video. The “Bussin’ With the Boys” guys (Taylor Lewan and Will Compton) cross paths with Ryan Day in the tunnel well before the game starts and he doesn’t even acknowledge them. Some might call it focus but he looks like he has the weight of Ohio on his shoulders. Contrast that with their interaction with Lanning at 35:50. Sure, DL won, but he gave these guys full access prior to the outcome. It probably doesn’t hurt that they both played with MM8 in Nashville. However, I feel like Oregon’s administration gives DL a lot of leash when it comes to marketing his program. It seems like Day has a very short leash. That’s probably the difference between blue bloods and new money.

This is actually a question for everybody on this forum. Why do you think Dan Lanning made this statement? Why was he so quick to dismiss rumors of him leaving for Bama? Is it Phil Knight? Is it Rob Mullens? Our fan support? Lack of pressure/expectations? I would love to hear your theories.

Ducks 28-17 1 TO 1 Sack 307 Yards Passing.

Bama fans were speaking of KDB as the next Saban genius after he beat UGA. Sorry if I seem callous, but I’m still in “wait and see” mode until OBD gets into the playoffs and wins a game or two. However, tomorrow evening will tell me a lot about him and this team. If they win comfortably then I will agree they’re on a great track. If they slog one out then I’ll be happy with a long road win on a short week, but still have some reservations about being elite.

Louisville stands a good shot of beating Miami at home if Shough can keep his emotions in check. He wants this win more than the one against Oregon last year. I can’t picture Kirby losing twice in the SEC, but they haven’t looked really good as of late. Texas has a 50/50 shot of losing this weekend. I have Oregon losing in Madison next month. Long trip, cold weather, very hostile environment and a much improved Wisconsin team will be too much. They destroyed a 4-1 Rutgers team last week. Their fans will also be extra juiced up since they’ve lost two straight Rose Bowls to us. That place will be as hostile as Autzen was last Saturday. Our only hope is that it will be a day game.

I absolutely loved the call Kalen DeBoer made on 4th down against WSU last year to save their season. Fake zone read with a reverse. It probably wouldn't be effective near the goal line, but it was a very successful play.
