I didn't know that Will Howard didn't finish the game last week for KState due to injury. So tonight will be Adrian Martinez who had some great games early and esp that beat down of OU, but he was injured as well and Will Howard took over and has been great. Now what does KState get from Adrian Martinez? As I said, this is a must win game for Sark and the Longhorns.
No doubt, the score doesn't really reflect how they dominated the Vols. They are the clear #1 right now. The question will be where does Tenn end up? I'll give them credit, they never quit, Georgia just was too strong on defense for them and as you noted they didn't get the benfit of 18 penalties. Well except for that incredibly stupid facemask when the Vols went for it on 4th and 28. It would seem like they might fall to #6 just in front of Alabama. If that's where they fall to then they could end up in the top 4 based on teams in front of them losing. Ohio State or Mich are going to get a loss for sure, so that's one spot they could move up.
KState loses a starter in the DB to a targeting call on the 3rd or 4th play. Big loss for KState so early, the replacement is a freshman.
The problem for Tennessee is that now they will probably not.play in the SEC Championship game. If Alabama makes it that far and beats Georgia, they will have a big argument for being in. Not fair maybe but probably happen. Personally, I don't think Alabama finishes that.well.
0-0 after 2. Checking the scoreboard. Shocked to see the Irish up 14-0 on Clemson and LSU up 7-6 on Alabama. Longhorns are hammering KState 31-10 at the half.
Congrats on the win Bill. I was out for the first day of rifle season, so didn't get to watch it (or any ball today). The only player out with flu that could have made a difference for us was Connor Weigman... instead we had to play Turnover King at QB... er Haynes King. I see he found a new way to give up the ball with two fumbles. eh... that's how it goes some times. Hopefully the Gators can take something from it. I don't know where the Aggies go from here. We need to get CW back behind center to see if there's anything to salvage of this season.
unbelievably the Irish are up 35-7 with about 4 minutes to go, glad I'm taping the game! Will be a nice trifecta night if the Longhorns, Irish and Astros all win!!
Wow, that 2 point conversion by LSU beats Bama 32-31. Wow Being their second loss probably eliminates the Tide from the NC playoff. Not for sure but likely. LSU now leads the SEC West. Probably helped Tennessee's chances at the playoff if they win out.
Bill, yes Alabama is out of the playoffs and we may lose more. First time Alabama has lost 2 regular season games.since 2010, I think.
2 big shockers tonight the ND upset (manhandling) of Clemson and LSU taking Alabama to OT and winning by rolling the dice with a 2pt conversion rather than taking the gimmie xp and going for a 2nd OT.
