[Yes]

Touchdown MSU on a blocked punt. 23-14 pending PAT.

Wow.

 

[Riddickulous]

WHy wouldn't they deserve it... I get they play a lesser schedule and that is why they aren't in the top three... but seriously, how many years in a row do they have to go 11 plus wins, WHILE beating OU, UGA, Oregon, VT and others before we just throw up our hands and say, yep, they belong as long as they don't stumble...

I agree.

 

[e34croak]

Definitely was nervous during the first quarter. Seems like the momentum shift of the kick return has helped bring the crowd back into account for the Irish.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Kelly isn't going to bring Hendrix in when things are going badly. He has said as much. There is no quarterback controversy. There won't be one. Hendrix is just the change of pace when things are flowing.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Defense needs to force a 3 and out to start the half. Then we can make things interesting

 

[IrishJayhawk]

i was on a call and missed it but are both usc running backs hurt?

Tyler is hobbled from last week. McNeal is maybe out.

 

[Riddickulous]

The crowd is noticeably louder and more into it. As long as the game is close, they should remain this way.

I can tell you striaght up, they have boat raced week in week out, many teams the same caliber of that which has beaten ND in upsets year after year....

One analyst from Versus said Boise plays the type of schedule where it doesn't help if you win but certainly looks bad if you lose.

Kinda makes sense, in a way...

Exactly. Which is why Hendrix shouldn't have been in there when we were down 14 and coming off our first defensive stop of the game. We needed as sure of a thing as we can get at that point.

 

[irishff1014]

Why are they not playing GAIII in the offense?With all that speed?

Punt returner ????????

 

[IrishJayhawk]

I think Boise would go about 7-5 in a major conference. Just an opinion. Kind of like we're seeing with Utah this year.

 

[Irishman77]

Totally agree on moving Shembo. Looks lost. I wish you would develop from the neck up.

 

[Yes]

Stanford over Washington 38-14 going into halftime.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Please tackle better. Make a play.

Not saying they don't deserve it, but many people think that way. I'm on the fence about them; I used to actually be a fan of them but lately not so much. I think they're better than many people think but still, if they played a schedule as hard as a major conference team, they wouldn't be going undefeated at all. Instead they beat one random mid-level SEC team or a good ACC team and call it a year.

 

[JoeyGetherall]

Play calling was fine. No different than what it has been all year. This is a rhythm offense. Need to get first downs and things will start to click like that last drive. Tommy's pass looked bad but from his view that was the window he had. If he threw more inside would of been bated down possibly tipped and picked off.

Utah's down though. Put them in the Pac-10 the year they beat Bama and they're probably 12-0 maybe 11-1.

Thanks.

I totally agree with that

maybe, maybe not... but they are not in another conference and they win just about every 'major' matchup they have... I'm not giving credit, or taking credit away for hypotheticals... this is not "jobs created of saved"... this is football...

just my two cents.. agree to disagree... I have no problem with B St's rankings

 

[irishff1014]

Stanford over Washington 38-14 going into halftime.

Wow i thought it would be a better game then this.

 

[BGIF]

Oh, for goodness sake! Banning posters on a game day thread for expressing opinions and attitude in the heat of the battle reeks of oppressive censorship.

Buffalo isn't the only one who has expressed dissatisfaction with play and play calls. He isn't the only poster who has predicted doom and gloom as the game has unfolded.

Hormones and emotions both flow heavily in circumstances such as this. Take a deep breath, relax the ban hammer finger, and revisit the situation in the next day.

Thanks to Junkhead and the other mods who keep this board readable despite the trolls, drunks, spammers, and the jerks who find it necessary to trash 19 year olds. Posting here has alway been a privilege not a right.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

well that win by 30 thing is in the rearview.. let's pull out a win boys.. let's go

 

[Tmacvikesit]

Really, would Boise State go undefeated in the SEC? I hate the SEC and somewhat like Boise, but I'd like to see them prove themselves against stronger teams. If the Big East stuff is true then they'll at least be stepping up, but the Big East is gonna be pretty awful for football still

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Utah's down though. Put them in the Pac-10 the year they beat Bama and they're probably 12-0 maybe 11-1.

Are they down, or are they finally in a major conference?

 

[Riddickulous]

GAIII with the pop. Love it.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Anddddddddddd we are back.

 

[IrishChris209]

Punt returner ????????

in the offense...

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

that's not a good stat.. 0-4 after trailing at half.. don't like that too much, but 1-4 is a hell of a lot better than 0-5.. let's go irish

 

[military_irish]

They have got some pressure but Barkley just takes off with nothing but green

 

[Irishcop]

That was not pretty at all, but we are back in this one. D needs a big stop to start the third.
