    Did you see the play kp?

    It was an awesome effort by the IU Qb, and one of those plays that is so close you can't overturn with replay. I think if he had been ruled short on the field that would have stood as called on the field.

    Penn St. had the game won if their RB had taken a knee instead of scoring with less than a minute to play. Instead of running out the clock they gave the Hoosiers the ball back down by 8 and set up the OT.

    Gipper, yes I saw it and no I thought the nose.of.the ball broke the plane of.the goal line before the back end of the ball touched down out of bounds.

    LSU putting it on South Carolina 31-10 at the half, they need a big win like this if they can finish it off.

    Joe Milton looks good considering it is his first start, overall UM looks like they have a team to be reckoned with in the big 10

    Our defensive line is getting pushed around Milton has looked good but Minnys special teams have cost them 21 points.

    35-17 at half Bobda, it was supposed to be a close game, but UM is making it a run away. Given all the new guys you have starting this is a very good start for UM.

    I see that Alabama transfer and Tua's brother, Taulia Tagovailoa, is off to a rough start as the starter for Maryland, threw 2 picks in the first half and Northwestern is handling the Terps 30-3 in the 3rd qtr.

    LSU 52 - 17... Cruising to a big and much needed win.

    UM 49 - 24, a lot of time left so UM could get to 60

    I agree Terry. We have three good running backs and Milton poses a threat running and passing. Really surprised at how good our offense has looked tonight.

    Miami /UVA surprisingly tight game in the 4th. I thought Ralph's boys would blow them out.

    Cincinnati and SMU in a tight game in Dallas. 14 - 10 at half. Cincinnati from what I have seen looks like the better team.

    I failed to mention that Justin Fields had a spectacular opening game with completing 20 of 21 passes, with one that was caught & dropped in the endzone that would have been a TD. I think Penn State got screwed on that TD in OT by Indiana. Michigan looks pretty good to me. Notre Dame appears to be pretty solid as well. Biggest surprise to me was Purdue beating Iowa. Alabama and Clemson will be in the playoffs. Awaiting PAC 10 games to see what happens this coming week.

    Don, you're entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong. :D Not enough conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field. Besides, if if you were right, what's so bad about Penn State getting screwed?

    I watched that replay several times and I thought the runner never crossed the plane of the goal line however I understand the logic of the replay system. What's so bad about Penn State is that we will be facing a wounded animal next Saturday night.o_O

    Buckeyes look up to the task, might be different if the stadium were full of rabid PSU fans in all white. But it won't be, so I imagine they will give you a game but OSU will likely still win handily. Buckeyes look like they are in the same class as Clemson and Alabama.
