PrintArkansas is up 7-0 over #1 Florida late in the second quarter. Arkansas up 10-3 in the third quarter. 13-13 with 11:49 left. If Arkansas hadn't have been as turnover prone they would be winning right not going away. The Razorbacks are up 20-13 midway through the fourth quarter but Florida is driving in the red zone. 20-20 with 6:38 left. Florida driving at the Arkansas 28 with a minute left in the game. Florida attempts a FG with 13 seconds left and it is good. Florida 23-20.
Texas Tech is pounding Nebraska 21-0 in the first half.
Texas beat Oklahoma 16-13. Sam Bradford left the game with an injury.
Purdue upset Ohio State 26-18. That one throws the race in the Big 10 into a frenzy. Iowa which beat Wisconsin 20-10 is now 7-0.
California is out to a 21-14 lead over UCLA in the first half. The Bears scored first when Shane Vereen picked up 42 yards and a TD. Lightning struck again when Kevin Riley completed a pass to Marvin Jones for 43 yards for a TD. UCLA answered to close within seven on a seven yard rush by Jonathan Franklin. Kevin Riley answered by hitting Jahvid Best for a 51 yard TD. UCLA had a little lightning of its own when Jonathan Frankin answered with a 74 yard TD run. Jahvid Best just ripped off a 93 yard TD run. UCLA puts together a drive that stalls and they have to go for 3. Cal 28 UCLA 17 with 2:51 left in the first half. Kevin Riley passes complete to Marvin Jones for 24 yards and a TD. UCLA answers with a FG. 35-20 Bears at the half and it looks like they got their offense sorted out. 221 rushing yards in the first half for Cal. Big plays are killing UCLA. Cal still ahsn't put the Bruins away but they hold a comfortable 38-26 lead at the start of the fourth quarter. 45-26 Cal is the final score. Looks like the bye week was good for the Bears.
Idaho is leading Hawaii 14-10 late in the second quarter.
USC leads Notre Dame 10-7 in the second quarter. Barkley is getting quite a bit of time to throw which is bad news for the Irish. Even with the time his passes aren't exactly on target yet. USC just kicked another FG. 13-7 USC at the half. Trojans are starting to wear down the Irish in the third quarter. USC 27 Notre Dame 14 with 2:35 left in the third. 34-20 USC with 11:13 to go. Wow...USC just threw an interception late in the fourth quarter deep in their own territory. You have to wonder why Pete isn't just keeping it on the ground running down the clock. Clausen hits Tate in the end zone to close the USC lead to only seven. 34-27 USC. Trojans have to punt with 4:27 left in the game. ND starts its drive on 22. you have to hand it to Jimmy Clausen...the guy is hobbled with a reinjured turf toe and he is still making plays. 1:47 left and ND is on the USC 48. ND first and ten inside the Trojan 30 with under a minute to go. ND makes a 4th and 10 conversion and another 15 yards is added to the play by a Trojan personal foul. USC gets another personal foul for roughing the passer. Nine seconds left and ND is on the USC 4. Four seconds and probably one play left in the game. Clausen fail to connect in the end zone on the last two plays and USC wins.

This morning's Red River game has to be the sloppiest, least inspired game I've seen all year.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Huge 4th down stop there for USC.

Weis's call......
got slapped right back at him. Arkansas is getting homered a bit, with defensive holdong not getting called at all against the Gators, who do it almost every passing play. UCS’s defense is looking like a mess on this current, 3rd quarter ND drive.
hmmm
Sort of looked like Tate stepped out of bounds around the 30. Does any coach do less with his talent than Weis? You have Clausen playing for penalties, and other than that one pass they haven’t done much today at all. They are in the game, but they look outclassed by SC and we (with our 3 star players) played them toe to toe.
The USC/ND game is turning into a shootout.
Not that this is a good thing for ND, because they simply don’t have the talent to match USC score-for-score.

Then again, if they keep gifting the Irish dumb penalties....

BS
That was a total BS call on Mays. The ND player wasn’t even trying to get out of bounds.
Everyone loses.....
the hideous referring going down these days. did you see that terrible call that gave Florida an extra 15 yards?
It was awful. The refs really want Florida to win this game.

This BCS Crap.....
needs to come to an end. Even NAIA and D2 can out together championship tournaments. Why do we put up with this?
BCS CEAP
for sure. They know who they want in the major bowls before the season starts. All laid out for them by the TV MONEY LORDS.
Extra Foot
Try an extra yard, it was blatantly obvious. The ref’s couldn’t be more crooked.

Who Woulda' Thought
That Cal would run up so many points against UCLA’s defense, and that UCLA’s offense could look so good for a while?
USC is trying to give this game away.

I don't know why Claussen didn't try a fade to Tate in the end zone corner.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
nice!
Good to see our PAC 10 Trojans hang on, in spite of themselves. Or then, does Calussen get one more shot to go to the fade?
Seriously, fade to Tate.
Will Weis listen to me? Probably not.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Wow, one more chance.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Well, that was fun.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
And so
Weis goes down a notch, as USC looks better than Florida & texas today. Now it is time to head to the Northlake Tavern to hopefully see the Sun Devis get crushed this evening. Go Dogs! Woof!
What a great day of D1 play!
Oh yeah!
when I moved and Lived Hawai’i for a few years, the Northlake was sorely missed. Wonder is they have WiFi there? But I could probably get tossed out the door by one of the burly, yet very pretty and femine bartenders if I try to open up this laptop there.
CWU
Central is ranked 3rd in D2 now, and is playing a very good and exciting Western Oregon team at Qwest Stadium today. One of these weekends when a Central WA game is going down while the Huskies are not playing, I need to go see and support that team.
Shootout so far in Arizona with Stanford leading 14-13 start of 2nd quarter.
No defense at all by either team. And Owusu pulled off two more great kick returns. Gerhart bulldozing once again also.
Beginning of the Sarkisian ERA
