    Georgia can't run the football, that is so odd to type. If Smart has done one thing in his time at UGA it is play defense and run the ball. It's not like Leach teams are known for the tough defense that they play..

    Since McNamara has entered the game, M has scored 3 TDs in 5 possessions. 28-27 M and the question I have is why was this guy not the starter?

    Been switching between UGA and Michigan, UM definitely looks like they have found a Qb and an offense.

    And it only took the coaches 5 games to see that there is a night vs day difference in offense productivity when McNamara is on the field. Incredible.

    OU has basically crushed Oklahoma State, they look like they are finishing strong, and Spencer Rattler is settling in as the OU Qb. This makes the Iowa State /Texas game next weekend a huge game for both teams. Winner likely will be in the B12 championship game vs OU

    Georgia wins but Miss State looked pretty good. I think the two new coaches at the two Mississippi schools will make some noise in the SEC over time.

    Not sure if I have ever seen both kickers miss FG in the 1st OT before.

    Both teams decided to score TDs in the 2nd OT. 42-42 now going into the 3rd OT.

    M wins in the 3rd OT 48-42. Battle to the death between 2 ant
    armies but have to give a load of credit to the players of both teams battling for over 4 hours.

    Congrats Bob!
    You'd think it would have been earlier in the season when the coaches would be throwing out every player they have to get some points rolling in.
    Guess 5 games is better than 6! ;)

    I have a relative by marriage who is the SID at Georgia Southern. I follow him on Twitter. His team played Army at West Point at noon yesterday. He tweeted that because of a flight delay, Michigan, who played at 7:30, might beat GS's plane off the tarmac, which is what happened.

    Congratulations on the win Bobda.

    Week 12

    Georgia and Michigan both appear to have found their starting QB'S this weekend.

    IU showed that Ohio State has some weaknesses. Ohio State avoided though the unexpected loss like Iowa 2017 and Purdue (Tyler Trent game) 2018.

    Wisconsin, after the dismantling of Mich last week and the stellar play of their Freshman QB, was assumed to be the team standing between Ohio State and the CFP. Nobody told Northwestern though!

    Alabama and Florida offenses continue to be nearly unstoppable. O/U for the SECCG has to be at least 90.

    BYU and Cincy continue to knock on the door of the CFP.

    B12 is down to OU likely to be one participant in the Championship game and the winner of next week's UT/ISU game the other. ISU destruction of KState was pretty impressive.

    Too early to say much about the PAC 12.

    ACC barring something unfortunate, looks like Clemson and Notre Dame.

    I guess Fields proved he was human yesterday with some help from the Hoosiers. He was hurried on his throws and did not have great protection either, one can not blame that on him for everything. Indiana had a solid game plan.

    Indiana's defense has been key in its wins and was key yesterday. On offense, Penix and his receivers are amazing. Thank goodness, because IU finished the game with -10 yards rushing. Credit OSU's run defense because IU's run game had been decent before yesterday. Bottom line: IU has moved into the upper echelon of the B10 with a defense that can play with anyone and a QB/WR combination that can score at any time from anywhere on the field. Allen is a heckuva coach and has assembled a heckuva staff.

    Dabo thinks FSU just didn't want to play Clemson.


    Swinney implied that FSU's administrators wanted out of the game and used the positive test as an excuse to cancel.

    "This game was not canceled because of COVID," Swinney said. "COVID was just an excuse to cancel the game. I have no doubt their players wanted to play and would have played. And same with the coaches. To me, the Florida State administration forfeited the game."

    FSU declined to comment on Swinney's comments Sunday, but coach Mike Norvell said in a statement Saturday that the school's first priority is the "health of our student-athletes."

    I have a feeling that Frost needs the full 5 years to get the players he needs to get the Huskers turned around and be more like a Wisconsin program.
