College Football Week 5
 

The biggest game in USF history tonight @ 8 vs WVU to get things started.

Other interesting story lines:
Ron Zook might finally get a big win?
FSU with 2 arrested players & 2+ players caught cheating in school plus whole AD under investigation.
High Octane Cal/Oregon

Re: the FSU thing. TFG our schools stand to benefit from this possibly. If FSU goes on probation that helps UF and LSU get more of that awesome Florida high school talent. It probably helps you guys a little more obviously, but we get some pretty good kids out of there too.

Re: Oregon/Cal being "high octane"

This game certainly has the potential to be super high scoring, but I think it's less of a stone cold lock than ESPN would have you believe. First of all, there's a pretty decent chance of rain (in Eugene? in the fall? shocking, I know). Additionally, Dennis "Mr. Inconsistent" Dixon is just DUE for a down game, and he tends to struggle more often at home than on the road, he generally looks much more tentative in front of the Autzen crowd. For recent reference, see his first half against Houston this year. Longshore, meanwhile, is more traditional, in that he generally struggles on the road. His stats in six career road starts:

16-29 146 yds @ Colorado State
11-20 85 yds 1 INT @ Tennessee
22-31 341 yds 4 TD 1 INT @ Oregon State
17-31 176 yds 2 INT @ Washington State
17-36 250 yds 1 TD 3 INT @ Arizona
17-38 176 yds 1 TD 2 INT @ USC

Longshore has only had one genuinely good performance in a road start, out of six tries.

Anyway, I'm not saying it WON'T be a shootout, like most people I expect that it will be. There are a couple reasons, though, why if it isn't you shouldn't be *shocked*.

Wish I was going to be home to see all of this. I have to go watch UW get their asshanders from USC. USC's running game against UW's run D? Yeah, it could get ugly. Jake may have to play defense for us to have a shot. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Arizona v WSU

WSU should be able to handle Az. I'm suprised the cougs are dogs here.

UCLA @ Oregon st

Did Canfield finally learn how to throw or was last week a fluke(even though they lost). UCLA should win this. I think they'll put it on Canfields arm to beat them.

AZ St @ Stanford

Go Erickson! Stanford seems to have found a bit of offense. Ericksons boys seem to be gelling a little. I son't see Stanford keeping up.

BobJoeJim, good stuff. Thanks.

Huge game in 10 minutes. Go Bulls!

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

I am not convinced that WV is that good. Let's see if they can prove me wrong.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

this game is sloppy.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

PICK SIX.

7-0 Bulls.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Just wow, this game is about who can choke more.

Averaging a turnover every 3 minutes of game time. Sustainable?

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Big East football at its best.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Not a very neat game. WV's o line is getting whooped.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

WVU #4 AHAHAHAHAHAH what a joke.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Big surprise -- another turnover.

Didn't you get the memo? The Big East is the second best conference!!

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

I have been howling on this board forever that the Big East is horrible. West Virginia, Louisville, Rutgers, etc. have never beaten a legit team, ever.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Amazing what happens when you decide to stop the run, you win.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

hahahaha LOL@ West Virginia secondary.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Grothe is good.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

I won't pile on the Big East bashing, as I do think they are good, but certainly not elite. I will say that WV is, as I've been preaching all year, overrated as hell.

As I type this USF score again. What a play! It might get called back though.

EDIT: Letting the cameras into the replay booth is really cool!

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

LOLLLL, THEY PLAY STANDS as the guy is telling them they have another angle, one that he saw for a second. ROFL

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Lol, how are they not looking at the angle they keep showing?

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

LOLOLOLLLLLLL at the replay officials. They couldn't get the correct angle to play. They only had a still shot of it. Did anybody else notice that?

- oh guess so. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Read above, maybe? Silly Auburn fans [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

USF appears to have some serious talent on campus!

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Anybody else feel like this game is over?

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

If WVU's WRs could block they would be doing much better.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Wow, wtf.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

Rutgers = Class of Big East.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

hhaha spielman "welcome to the big east"

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

LOL, USF isn't playing very well either.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

I was gonna say, hasn't been a TO in awhile.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

jesus christ

USF couldv'e just put my +7 bet in the bag if they got a score there.

let's go for double digit turnovers each

How can you say that? If WVU could block/hold on to the ball they would be right there. Long way to go.

Their defense is ridiculous.

Re: Pac10 Football Week 5
 

For the Big East defenders, picture either of these teams vs. LSU.
