You'll be happy to note Vanderbilt leads Tenn 24-16 in the 4th qtr. And tennesee just scored to make it 16

this makes me happy too.

and UGA, who I can't stand played KENTUCKY of which I have much basketball hate. So UGA came through and got me some V-bucks.


son at Bama. and one at West Virginia. we have a full football plate

 

[Wham]

but their offense is playing worse than ours is, i dont think it would matter if we gave them the ball at the 36 or the 6, our defense wont just all of a sudden lay down and let them go where they please.

I didn't see this at first...

Which is a good reason to punt and pin them deep. Defense holds them deep, they have to punt from their own end zone, Zibby gets a chance to return...

It's a tossup call. Not bad, not great.

Bruton is the playmaker Zibby used to be.

Its all completely based on preference, Charlie is gonna go for it in situations like that cause... well cause hes Charlie.

I want to see what CB and the defense can do with a lead.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

So does everyone else, bubba.

 

[SoCalDomer]

First play on defense with a lead... I didn't like it.

 

[IrishFan4Life]

yo I like what i see, then again, i havent seen much.

 

[Timugen]

Okay, I'm just chiming in at half-time so I'm sorry if this has been covered already....don't feel like reading through 200+ posts.....

Am I the only one who wanted to head-butt their TV after watching JC scramble and stiff-arm that DB straight into the ground? I don't care if he didn't get the 1st down on the play...it wasn't there, but he didn't care.....that kid is a competitor!!!!

And then he did it again later in the half (but in a less dramatic fashion.) But either way, how many times do you see a QB (other than running backs that take the snap like Vince Young) throw stiff-arms? I have been skeptical about him all year, but that one play turned it all around.....I love this kid's play and determination! And that's exactly what this team is gonna need going into next year. He just earned a ton of my confidence that he has was it takes to provide a lot of that.

On a side note....Hughes is our most effective RB - he needs to be in there much more.


GO IRISH!!!!!!

 

[SoCalDomer]

Let's build a lead so we can get the seniors in there.

 

[SoCalDomer]

Nice slant. CW, i hope you were watching that.

im down with that.

[SoCalDomer]

Ok offense. take that momentum and build on it.

Agree. That's his style. Apparently he had the right play for the situation.

 

[goldenlid]

I had the hope that the defense would play faster with a lead but they aren't. I hope that CB can get guys that will be able to do that

 

[SoCalDomer]

That was a nice big hole the OL made.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

There was just a nice catch by an ole miss receiver against LSU. They are playing those dudes pretty tough. Now back to regular programming.

 

[SoCalDomer]

I know this is Duke, but ND seems like they're playing with some confidence now.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Gotta start somewhere.

 

[elkona]

Herbstreit just picked Duke. Ugh. I hope this game isn't even close.

ND 58 Duke 10

All that hair product has started to bleed into Herbstreit's brain.

 

[notredomer23]

Good run by hughes.

 

[goldenlid]

I'm think Hughes looks like the best back right now.

 

[SoCalDomer]

There you go. Just keep moving the chains.

 

[notredomer23]

Good run Allen. impressive. lets win 28-0 or 28-3.

 

[notredomer23]

Allen is punishing them!!!1
