oldtimer Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 The Frogs did the job against tech (TTU) despite missing several key players, showing good depth. They started a true freshman QB, and at times he really looked like one. The defense hasn't allowed a point in the second half since Oct 14, including when they were beaten by OU. Michigan, and wvu, and it looks like osu, is screwed? (the real osu not ohio state) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I will say this about the UM/Wisconsin game. The Badgers won sort of fair and square. They definitely dominated the second half. However, the officiating was absolutely atrocious. Especially with regard to the injury to the Michigan QB. You just cannot allow a defensive player to drive any QB into the ground, and then after he is down, then continue to grind him even harder into the turf. No penalty. Absolutely disgraceful. Taken off the field on a cart. Likely out for the last game. And, other bad calls against both teams. Pathetic Go Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful now. There are those who get mighty touchy when colleges are called into question for beating high schools and counting those as victories.

Funny how you can’t count conference championships or consensus all Americans, or any number of other statistics that are not in your favor. Well, it figures.

Where have you been the last few years? SEC teams schedule de facto bye weeks and arrange scrimmages. At least Clemson played a school that allows its students to carry weapons. Yes, I know Clemson is in ACC, but the concept is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is the timing. Early in the season is when most schedule these practice games, not mid November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many years now Alabama and Auburn both seem to take on a weaker out of conference game before the Iron Bowl. Looking pretty smart too. One report has the Tide with 11 starters out from injuries last week. Either team still has to win an SEC championship game + two games in the playoffs to win it all after winning the Iron Bowl.

It's always been like that. Remember Wisconsin 35-17 in 2015, Michigan State 38-0 in 2015, and Texas A&M uh.... anytime? It's been that way since at least New Years Day 1993 when the favored Hurricanes petered out 34-13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilC Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 "The Game" this weekend! Who can forget the controversy over "the spot" at last years game. Did he make it with forward progress? Pictures photoshopped as some have claimed? On a side note, there were two Ohio natives officiating the game. The ref spotting the ball was not. Conflict of interest that the Big10 should take into account? Here's the play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
