I guess given how this game started, I am more than happy to have a 3 point lead and the ball going into next half. Hopefully Henne is alright. I can't believe anyone here thought losing him wouldn't be that bad.

I'm in eternal combat with kneejerk reaction morons. OMG Henne threw a pass behind a guy! He sucks! Play Mallett!

Mallett may well (and hopefully will) prove to be much better than Chad, but right now Chad >>>>>> Mallett. Anyone who says otherwise is a complete moron.

Although in their defense, the playcalling tightens up for Mallett which puts him in obvious passing situations, which doesn't help.

One of the reasons I have always been a big Henne defender, is because of the play calling. Almost always running on first down (except for tonight), puts Henne is so many situations where the opponents know you are going to pass. Even really good QB's can struggle when they are in those type of situations. Hopefully we keep the peddle on the gas in the 2nd half. First down play action...please DeBord, let's keep it going.

LSU is really gonna play this bad?

I didn't say Mallett was better, I said it wasn't a huge dropoff.

Obviously I would prefer Henne.

This game terrifies me

Also, I was at the tOSU game...Boeckman is just not very good

This is so true. I'm a long-time OSU fan and he just isn't very sharp. Somehow it hasn't come back to bite him yet, but he still has so much air under his passes that it's like asking people to intercept him.

TD Oregon! 94 yard drive, and we have the lead again! God I wish this game wasn't good... but leading is better than tied, hehe.

Re: College Football Week 8
 

Our return game is absolutely pathetic. We NEVER block anybody. Wow..Mallett in again.

Re: College Football Week 8
 

ugh, take the kid gloves off mallett please, passing is clearly more successful than running against Illinois

Edit: Mallett seriously fumbles once per offensive possession

Re: College Football Week 8
 

any idea why lloyd is so pissed at mallett?
