2010/2011 NCAA Football Thread

[Jagger69]

It is really hard to tell with all three of these teams I mean The Huskers won 19-3 over SDSU really but beat Washington what 56-21 where are the real Huskers.Too be honest though I just don't understand Oklahoma they seem to have all the right pieces in the right places but they are just not playing OU football.I mean my 'Noles got man handled.But Utah State,Air Force and Cinny kept it close and lets face it none of those teams are own OU's level.They showed heart don't get me wrong,but talent wise the combine score should have been 110 to like 6:dunno:Okay,Okay 110 to 20 just to be fair to Air Force( Great team by the way I think) The Sooners has a great offense I think Ryan Broyles is a beast I'm just crazy over this kid what has he had like 4 stright 100-yard game.Okay I'll stop ridin' his nuts but he is good. Texas I just don't know they could be 3-3 in three weeks (Sorry Jagger I sill love ya) Okay 4-2 they should beat Iowa State Oct.23 but then again I said the same thing about UCLA.I want Texas to have a great year don't get me wrong but all those teams on the Longhorns remaining schedule are a little bit better well I don't know about OK State (I love their system but it seems like they have took a step back)anyway even FAU is a little better.Any the main thing is two of the three teams are undefeated and a win is a win ugly or pretty.and if Texas gets going and finds the right stride they could take all there anger out on their last 8 opponents.By the way where are all the Ohio state fans.:dunno:

LOL....no offense taken, Raider. Don't kid yourself....Texas is loaded with talent. They're just really young. Plus, they have no running game at all....zero. Greg Davis doesn't have enough confidence in the wideouts or Garrett Gilbert to wing the ball down the field like Colt McCoy used to so the offense is going to struggle. If we fall behind, we won't be able to play catch up. Plus, I really think that UCLA's pistol offense baffled the shit out of Muschamps. We don't see sets like that in the Big 12 and the young defense just couldn't adapt.

We'll be mediocre as we rebuild this year but we're still better than most of the conference....maybe 7-5 or 8-4 if we get lucky but no top 25 for the 'Horns this year. Wait a couple of years though. We'll be back.

i waited 17 years on bama to show back up jagger..see i have a very good patience lol i set this storm out with them ..now i guess thats why im talking so loud..texas has got a damn good qb that very few rookies can say..hes already been in the national championship game against the best defence in the nation..thats about as hard as it gets hes cool or he would have cracked under that pressure most rookies would have..thats the difference..pressure is no problem for this kid..hes not done

 

[smoknn]

a running qb is so hard to defend...thats what worries me about ohio st and auburn...a team with a qb that can run has such a edge..in ncaa that is..you add up the plays that nothing is there..a good running qb can take nothing and make something out of it..that wonT carry you in nfl..but it goes a long way in the ncaa

Oh no I agree with you 100%, smoknn. Texas is just getting started but that's the problem. There are going to be some stumbling blocks along the way and we just felt one against UCLA. Texas is still a very, very talented team....just very raw. I'm good with it.

 

[bodie54]

i made my mind up last night...the first team oregon plays with something that favors a defence..they are done...their defence is shit...

Much as I hate to face it I think you're right to a degree about my beloved Ducks. Not that their defense is "shit", but it's definitely their weak link.

I'm still trying to figure out how Stanford can be a better team without Toby Gerhard, who I felt should have won the Heisman last year :dunno:
I'm still not certain they are, but this weekend should tell the tale.

No bets for me on that game. I'm just going to watch and hope the Ducks get by.

Now as far as the USC/Washington game goes, even though I've lost my hard on for Jake Locker I'm liking the looks of Washington +11 in that game, plus a small bet on the Huskies straight up.

I completely agree with you. They remind me of the 2007 Florida Gators. Coming off a great year, losing their 4 year starter at QB, 4 or 5 losses. We lost to Michigan for God's sake, the year they lost to Appalachian State. But we were loaded with young talent. What happened the next 2 years? 2 losses. Total. And a National Championship.

that heisman had a stage full of talent last year it looked really tight..but i think it was ingrams performance in the NC game that pushed him past the crowd by a nose..anyway ..oregon seems to have a decent offence..but im just a defence guy..i believe in defence..arizona st moved the ball good..bamas defence dont seem to bad..after dropping 10 starters last year..i still dont think they are as good as last year..but with that offence it may be enough<<my read out is..if your going to be championship quality...your team cant give up 20+pts to a team you are that ranked above..but thats just me

Those ‘bama rb’s are tough and nasty. Ingram is a lot better than Richardson, bit Richardson is better than almost any other back out there.

You are right.When your back-up can start for any team in the country that is great and those two backs are tough and nasty.The new age Pony Express.:dunno:

I get the subtle pun I guess and I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but there is a difference. The Kansas Jayhawks are Kansas University.

The Kentucky Wildcats are the University of Kentucky.

i noticed saturday the difference in the two...ingram has got a wonderful way of making people miss..trent just puts it in gear and counts on his power...which seems to work.....i think that is what makes them work together so well..they have differnt styles...about time you get tired of chasing one..the other comes in like a mad bull..this was the combo i dreamed about 17 years..i will never forget what a sick feelin it was to watch them fake punt to beat tulane..thats what you call splitting hairs..very sad lol

Meh, you'll get over it smoknn. At least you guys got the sexiest 'spoilt bitch' in the universe, Miss Hybrid.:o

Well, although Michigan State is 4-0 against such powerhouse teams as Albany Tech, Galapogas A&I, and Notre Dame, it's good to see Dantonio will be in the coach's box during the Wisconsin game, following his heart attack. Maybe the gods that be will provide a little hope for us against the Badgers.

Glad to see MD is out of the hospital but geeeebus man!!! The guy is as healthy as a horse when he's countenanced with a scowl...He dares threaten a smile after a thrilling win and ends up seeing an MD.

Probably just an allergic reaction to the smile and left the hospital with a prescription to avoid winning.:o

 

[lurkingdirk]

I know some games have started, but here are your lurking predictions:
USC 33, Washington state 28. USC 50, Washington State 16
Wake Forest 10, Florida State 42 Wake Forest 0, Florida State 31
Stanford 38, Notre Dame 21 Stanford 37, Notre Dame 14
Alabama 35, Arkansas 10 Alabama 24, Arkansas 20

And Florida is just going to squeak by Kentucky. Florida stomped on Kentucky

And off we go!

Well, not too badly, at least I called all the correct winners.

Anyone have good predicitons for this week? There are some pretty cool games.

 

[GibbsGrad2002]

It such be a good game this Saturday between Florida and Bama Go Gators!

Glad you let him off the hook before I had to come to his defence, Mega!
