College Football Open Thread: Week 7

This is a weird week for college football. The most exciting games are either in the mourning or afternoon. There really isn't a single night game worth checking out besides the Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech game. I'm not sure if I like college football this way with the early games being the best ones or with the night games being the best of the weekend. So enjoy your college football weekend and feel free to leave comments, quotes, or links to videos throughout the day.

Here's this week's Must List and Announcing Schedule

Mourning Games:
- Texas vs. Oklahoma is on first thing this mourning. So this game will carry all of my attention until it's over. I will try my hardest to watch some of the other games going on this mourning.

- Two long passes put Oklahoma in the red zone. But three straight incompletions forced Oklahoma to kick a field goal. The field goal was shanked and hit the post, but still made it through the up rights. 3-0 Oklahoma.

- On Texas' first possession, Colt McCoy was sacked and fumbled the ball. Oklahoma recovered, but Sam Bradford re-injured his shoulder again on the first play. Landry Jones' stache couldn't move the chains, so Texas has the ball again.

- OU forced a Texas punt. Landry Jones came back out at quarterback for OU and lead them down the field, but once again the OU offense stalled and was forced to kick a field goal. 6-0 Oklahoma.

- In a defensive struggle, the Longhorns caught a break on a Oklahoma muffed punt. Texas though couldn't get the touchdown off of the turnover and was forced to kick a field goal. 6-3 Oklahoma with 3:42 left in the 1st half.

- What a weird 1st half in the Oklahoma-Texas game. Fumbles, bad offense, and great defense dictated the play in the 1st half for both teams. It's 6-3 Oklahoma at halftime, but it feels like this game should have no score. Just a weird game to watch.

- The game people need to be watching is the Purdue-Ohio State game. You can then watch in person Terrelle Pryor turning into the JaMarcus Russell of college football. Ohio State has fumbled the ball three times in the game. It's 16-7 Purdue over Ohio State in the 3rd quarter.

- Texas received the opening kickoff for the 2nd half and drove down the field. But once again, the Oklahoma defense held and forced a field goal. 6-6 in Dallas.

- Texas adjusted their offense in halftime and it has worked. Texas has scored 10 points already in the 3rd quarter. 13-6 Texas.

- And we finally have a game in Dallas. Oklahoma responded to Texas' touchdown with one of their own. Ryan Boyles caught a 35-yard touchdown. 13-13 in Dallas.

- And once again, the Oklahoma defense held Texas to a field goal. 16-13 Texas in the 4th quarter.

- It's a final. Purdue beat Ohio State 26-18. Ohio State tried to make the game interesting by scoring late, but the Purdue offense picked up a key 1st down late in the game to put away Ohio State. Terrelle Pryor threw 2 interceptions and lost one fumble.

- Right now Iowa is in the drivers seat in the Big Ten. Iowa beat Wisconsin today 20-10 to remain undefeated on the season and in the Big Ten.

- Here's the video of Bradford's injury. Sam Bradford re-injured his shoulder on the 8th play of the game for Oklahoma and has been out ever since.



- It wasn't pretty, but Texas beat Oklahoma 16-13. If Texas is happy with this win, then they shouldn't expect to go to the National Championship game. Texas struggled throughout the day against an injured and banged up Oklahoma team. They should have beat Oklahoma by 10 points, especially since Sam Bradford was out of the game.

Afternoon Games:
- On to the Notre Dame-USC game and the Cal-UCLA game for me. I couldn't care less about the Florida-Arkansas game on CBS.

- 10-3 Arkansas over Florida at half. Three Florida turnovers in the red zone has killed the Gators today. They are lucky Arkansas is only up by a touchdown at half. But keep an eye on this game for the possible upset.

- The Cal offense choose the wrong game to finally wake up. After scoring only 6 points against Oregon and USC in back-to-back weeks, Cal has scored 35 points in the first half against UCLA. Cal leads UCLA 35-20 at half.

- This picture is via Sports by Brooks. Apparently the Minnesota cheerleaders were caught with some Captain Morgan before the Golden Gophers game against Penn State.


- USC is beating Notre Dame 13-7 at half. A Matt Barkley touchdown pass and two field goals are the points for USC so far. Notre Dame was able to score off a fake field goal. Notre Dame faked a field goal and ran the ball to the 2-yard line where Robert Hughes was able to run it in from there.

- Penalties and missed field goals is what Arkansas will look back on in their 23-20 loss to Florida. Two iffy penalties gave Florida great field position that set up a tieing touchdown. Arkansas drove down the field, but their kicker missed the go-ahead field goal. That gave Florida the opportunity to drive down the field and kick the game-winning field goal. Florida won 23-20, but like Texas they weren't very impressive.

- California responded to their two loses, by blowing out UCLA 45-26. The offense finally got back on track and Jahvid Best broke a spectacular run for a touchdown in the first half. I should have the YouTube video of that play soon.

- USC beat Notre Dame 34-27 in South Bend. Notre Dame had plenty of chances to tie the game, but USC was able to hold on for the victory.

Night Games:

All right kiddo's. There really isn't much on college football wise for the rest of the night. I will be in and out for the rest of the night trying to update the thread. Enjoy you night and enjoy the NFL games tomorrow. I won't be around tomorrow for the NFL Live Blog, so everyone have fun.
- You knew we couldn't go one week without a top ten team losing. This week it was Virginia Tech. The Hokies lost to Georgia Tech 28-23. Josh Nesbitt scored three touchdowns in the game, including a fourth quarter touchdown which would be the dagger for Virginia Tech. With that loss, Boise State will probably move up to either the fourth or fifth ranking in the country.

- I know no one is paying attention to this game, but Kansas has come back from a 21-0 deficit, to take the 30-27 lead. I don't know if Dan Hawkins can survive if Colorado loses this game. Colorado is driving with 12 minutes left in the game.

- This game is unreal. Now Colorado has taken the 34-30 lead, but Todd Reesing is leading Kansas down the field. I don't think either defenses can stop the offenses right now.

- And it's a final in Boulder, Colorado. The Buffaloes of Colorado beat Kansas 34-30 giving the Jayhawks their first loss of the season. The Big XII North is wide open right now with Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri all with losses now.

I'm out for the night. Have fun watching the NFL games tomorrow.

  2. @ 49er16? I think that South Carolina-Alabama has the potential to get really interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Uh oh. Bradford landed hard on his shoulder and is in pain.

    Bad news for Oklahoma.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Will someone fix the mic on the ref?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I really did not think that this game would only be 6-0 heading into the 2nd quarter.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Never thought I would see a defensive struggle in the Texas-OU game.

    ReplyDelete
  7. LOL OKLAHOMA FANS REACTION TO TEXAS TOUCHDOWN ON THE FUMBLED PUNT!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Very interesting replay review here.....

    ReplyDelete
  9. What the hell do they call here?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Now he's going back to the replay?

    ReplyDelete
  11. They ruled it a muffed punt, the Oklahoma player was in bounds when he touched the ball thus Texas has the ball at the OU 18-yard line.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm rooting for OU in this game. I have relatives in Texas and they never shut the fuck up about UT.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Not enough evidence to overturn this call.

    ReplyDelete
  14. @ 49er16: I'm rooting for Texas in this game. Bob Stoops and his arrogant, cocky ass has no respect from me.

    Or it's a fumble. The early reach-in was enough to get the fumble called for OU.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hmmm....I've never found Stopps to be that arrogant. At least compared to coaches like Urban Meyer and Steve Spurrier.

    ReplyDelete
  16. hell,Charlie Weis is cockier than Stoops.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Exactly, kt. Bob Stoops must have touched Justin when he was a kid or something.

    Anyways, I'm going to grab lunch.

    ReplyDelete
  18. No, Keith, I just don't like Stoops and the Sooners.

    Meanwhile it's 23-7 Purdue now.

    LOL Ohio State!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Good grief. How many people are going to go down in this Red River game?

    ReplyDelete
  20. This Texas Freshman receiver has taken over in this game.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Purdue 26, Ohio State 18. FINAL

    Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Penalties and fumbles have ruined this game.

    ReplyDelete
  23. This Just In: the ACC Atlantic Divison is the worst grouping of teams in ALL levels of college football.

    re:Maryland 24, Clemson 21
    Wake Forest 42, MD 32
    Clemson 38, Wake 3 (today)

    please ACC, for the love of god, cancel the Championship Game

    ReplyDelete
  24. I don't even pay attention anymore, to that half of the ACC.

    ReplyDelete
  25. @ kt: Don't you get it. It's called parity and it's great.

    /ACC homer'd.

    ReplyDelete
  26. What an interception! That is final nail in Oklahoma's coffin.

    ReplyDelete
  27. So many games on now! So little my fingers can do to keep up with it all!

    ReplyDelete
  28. @JFein It's so nice of you to let ACC commish John Swofford guest post using your name

    ReplyDelete
  29. NOW MCCOY THROWS AN INTERCEPTION!!!!! OKLAHOMA BALL!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. @ kt: Him and I are great buddies! We go way back.....

    ReplyDelete
  31. Texas caught a huge break there. That should have been a late hit going out of bounds.

    ReplyDelete
  32. why am I watching Arkansas/Florida? and why is the power of Tebow so great CBS would pick this over an interesting SC/Alabama matchup?

    ReplyDelete
  33. And that's it. Landry Jones throws an interception. Texas ball with 3 minutes left. Texas can just run out the clock now.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 5 Oklahoma turnovers is why the Sooners are going lose.

    And your dead wrong, Justin. If anyone is arrogant, it's Mack Brown. You are hating on the wrong coach and team. I'm still bitter about arragant Mack politicing Texas over California into the Rose Bowl 5 years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I hate Oklahoma and their fans, but not on Stoops...

    ReplyDelete
  36. I couldn't agree more, kt1000.

    Stoops is more humble than arrogant.

    Mack Brown is the arrogant one. He has McCoy running when he should be taking a knee.

    ReplyDelete
  37. @ 49er16: It's shit like that cheap shot on McCoy why I don't like Oklahoma.

    ReplyDelete
  38. @JFein, he shouldn't be running there. Take a Fucking knee. McCoy was asking for it there.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Bob Stoops was a lot of things last year running up the score at a level absurd even for college football and trying to get BCS brownie points, but humble was not one of them.

    Sorry guys, you can try all you want, but you can't sell me on Stoops and OU.

    ReplyDelete
  40. that's why its a riavlry boys!

    "We just beat our top rival"

    That is not going to make the people at Texas A&M happy...

    ReplyDelete
  41. He was just running to eat up some clock otherwise there's a chance they might have to snap the ball one more time and punt it.

    ReplyDelete
  42. frankly, i'd rather listen to the Texas band for the next 3 hours than watch NC State/Boston College

    /more ACC Atlantic fun!

    ReplyDelete
  43. @kt, or the boys at Oklahoma State.

    ReplyDelete
  44. USC leads 7-0


    /fire Weis now
    //i hate Notre Dame'd

    ReplyDelete
  45. However, I have no idea who I want to win the USC-ND team. I despise both of those teams quite equally.

    Touchdown USC.

    Maybe USC blowing out ND would be for the best. That way we don't have to hear about how "great" Notre Dame is anymore. Actually, they'll probably just say it was a valiant effort even if it is a 35-point loss for the Irish...

    ReplyDelete
  46. @ 49er16: I take it you don't get ESPN Classic?

    ReplyDelete
  47. there are <20,000 at Byrd for this Virginia/Maryland battle

    ReplyDelete
  48. @JFein please hate ND more, just for today

    /personal reasons'd

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ugh, I'm a jinx.

    Cal leads 14-0 before I can watch the game, then when I'm finally able to watch the game, UCLA scores.

    14-7 Cal

    ReplyDelete
  50. there are <20,000 at Byrd for this Virginia/Maryland clusterfuck

    /Fixed.

    I think I'll be watching the Arkansas-Florida game instead.

    Arkansas is going for it on 4th and goal at the Florida 6.....QB sneak is CLOSE TO THE MARKER!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Fake field goal by ND and 1st and goal for ND.

    ReplyDelete
  52. They hand it off to Green....AND HE'S IN FOR AN ARKANSAS TOUCHDOWN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. We know Arkansas can play offense, that's no surprise, but can their defense continue to hold Florida's offense and St. Timmy down like they have.

    ReplyDelete
  54. TD ND

    7-7

    ND did run a nifty Fake FG to set themselves up for the score

    ReplyDelete
  55. I talk about it in the Must List this week about Florida losing at home to a SEC West team.

    ReplyDelete
  56. TOUCHDOWN CAL!!!!!!!

    JAHVID BEST WITH THE TOUCHDOWN RECEPTION!!!!!!!

    21-7 CAL

    ReplyDelete
  57. Calm down Tebow. You made one 1st down.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Bloomsburg leads Cheyney 14-6 at halftime.

    Must be the miserable weather. Actually, just looking at the stats, our offense does not look that bad, but the defense as it seems like Cheyney has been able to move the ball well despite only 2 FGs.

    Florida fumbles in the redzone and it's recovered by Arkansas!

    ReplyDelete
  59. UCLA respondes with a long touchdown. 21-14 Cal

    And ABC plays some Red Hot Chilli Peppers to take us to the break.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Yes you did talk about in your must list and right you are, Keith. If Florida wins this game (and that's a big if), it won't be easy. Arkansas came to play today.

    ReplyDelete
  61. California rest in peace.....

  62. Hearing Tom Hammond promote Saw XI makes me laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Whoa, I've gotten so caught up in this Arkansas-Florida game that I forgot that Penn State was on.

    Which, all things for considered, might be for the better, as PSU is only beating Minnesota 6-0.

    ReplyDelete
  64. are you sure you wouldn't rather be watching this UVA/UMD 3-0 snoozer?

    ReplyDelete
  65. ANOTHER FLORIDA TURNOVER IN THE REDZONE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. @ kt: Ark-FL > Minny-PSU > UVA-MD

    ReplyDelete
  67. this announcer on this game just favorably compared BYU to Florida...

    /brain exploded

    ReplyDelete
  68. @JFein: Ark-FL > Minny-PSU > Bloomsburg- Cheyney> watching paint dry> suffering food poisoning >UVA-MD

    ReplyDelete
  69. YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS PLAY THAT JAHVID BEST JUST MADE TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN!!!

    IT IS YOUTUBE MATERIAL.

  70. @ Keith: Is he as curious as Mike Patrick is about what Britney is doing with her life?

    ReplyDelete
  71. I need new pants after that Best play.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Sturgis barely squeezes in a 30-yarder to put Florida on the board. 7-3 Hogs.

    ReplyDelete
  73. @ 49er16: TMI!!!!!!!!!!

    On the plus side, though, it is good to know that you are actually wearing pants this game.......

    /Phillies-Giants live blog'd.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Arkansas is now at the Florida 21.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Lots of scoring in this game. 28-17Cal with 2 minutes left in the half.

    ReplyDelete
  76. the no pants game was not one of your stronger moments, Keith

    ReplyDelete
  77. Hey! I usually don't wear pants when I'm home. Right now I'm just wearing a pair of basketball shorts.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Where was this Cal offense the past two games?

    35-17 Cal before half.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Texas Tech 24, Nebraska 3 at halftime.

    ReplyDelete
  80. 21-6 Bloomsburg in the 3rd quarter.

    GO HUSKIES!!!!!!

    They better really blow this game open because playing Cheyney (sadly, it's a conference game) gives our strength of schedule a hit.

    ReplyDelete
  81. LATORRE TO WEISMAN FOR THE BU TOUCHDOWN!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I see Cal is playing better, Keith.

    ReplyDelete
  83. The offense is playing better, but the defense still sucks.

    35-23 Cal

    ReplyDelete
  84. Sturgis killed a 51-yarder. 10-6 Hogs.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Cal running back Shane Vareen's dad works as a cameraman for ABC. He's at the game today.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Arkansas is getting really conservative. I'm not sure if I like that against a team like Florida.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Oof. Missed FG for Tejada of Arkansas. Still 10-6 Hogs.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Deep TD pass for Tebow and Florida now leads.

    ReplyDelete
  89. 20-7 USC

    Clausen has been sacked 3 times today.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Stupid penalty on USC gave Notre Dame new life on a drive. Now Clausen is leading the Irish down the field.

    ReplyDelete
  91. So JFein is watching Ark-Florida, Keith is watching Cal-UCLA, and I'm watching ND-USC? We have all the games covered then.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Touchdown Notre Dame.

    20-14 USC

    ReplyDelete
  93. @ Jay: And to think that Penn State is on right now as well!

    The 1st 3 games being on BTN (which I don't get) followed by that horrible loss to Iowa in which D. Clark looked like Jonathan Crompton really got me disinterested in Penn State this year. They won't be in the national championship and they'll be very damned lucky to get any BCS bowl.

    ReplyDelete
  94. USC has responded to the Notre Dame touchdown. 2nd and goal, USC.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Bloomsburg wins 28-6.

    That's one Homecoming game I'm glad I did not go to.

    ReplyDelete
  96. A lot of penalties going Notre Dame's way. Not too surprising........

    ReplyDelete
  97. What? A penalty in favor of USC.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Whoa! Arkansas with the touchdown and the lead against Florida.

    ReplyDelete
  99. MALLETT DEEP TO JOHNSON FOR THE ARKANSAS TOUCHDOWN!!!!! WOW!!!!

    Hold on, though, it's being reviewed.

    Pammy moment of the day: Arkansas completed a deep pass where the receiver ran 50 yards. Upon arriving to the goalline, the ball was knocked out of his hands. Verne then asks if it was an incomplete pass.

    The ruling on the field was confirmed as a TD. I grew dumber listening to Uncles Verne and Gary discuss that play.

    ReplyDelete
  100. If Florida loses, both Verne and Gary will compliment suicide.

    ReplyDelete
  101. "If Florida loses, both Verne and Gary will compliment suicide." Then we cheer.

    ReplyDelete
  102. USC has a 20-point lead in the 4th quarter. That game is over.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Tied game in Florida. It was set up by some homecooking by the refs.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I actually agree with Danielson there. That Arkansas player did nothing Tebow hasn't done.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Demps bounces one to the outside for a Florida touchdown!

    Tied at 20 now.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Does everything go Florida's way? They catch every break. Their like the early 2000's version of the New England Patriots.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Touchdown Notre Dame! Now they are only down by 7.

    ReplyDelete
  108. if USC blows this game, Pete Carroll better hope he never runs into me

    ReplyDelete
  109. Florida leads 23-20 with 9 seconds left.

    ReplyDelete
  110. So how much is Florida paying these refs?

    ReplyDelete
  111. @kt1000, Pete is too good for the state of Maryland.

    ReplyDelete
  112. if USC blows this game, I will laugh at Pete Carroll

    /Fixed.

    ReplyDelete
  113. @Keith it has nothing to do with Maryland

    ReplyDelete
  114. Arkansas has a chance with a hail mary from their own 41 yard line.

    Mallett can chuck it that far, I think......

    ReplyDelete
  115. THEY GO WITH THE HOOK AND LADDER BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!! FLORIDA (unfortunately) WINS!

    ReplyDelete
  116. Verne jizzed in his pants when the Florida kicker made the FG.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Notre Dame is driving for the game-tieing touchdown.

    ReplyDelete
  118. this is unfucking believable...

    ReplyDelete
  119. I think you might be right, Keith.

    ReplyDelete
  120. 4th and 10 coming up for Notre Dame.

    ReplyDelete
  121. WOW!!! WHAT A CATCH!!!!!!

    AND A PERSONAL FOUL ON USC!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  122. USC is killing themselves on this drive.

    ReplyDelete
  123. What the hell is USC doing?

  124. DID I SEE A USC FACEMASK ON THAT PLAY?????

    ReplyDelete
  125. that should be a ND touchdown :(

    I still hate them though.

    ReplyDelete
  128. HAHA!!!! OH, MAN!!! THERE'S 1 SECOND LEFT ON THAT CLOCK!!!!! NOTRE DAME IS GOING TO GET ANOTHER PLAY!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  129. this is Notre Dame. they'll get the extra second

    ReplyDelete
  130. Notre Dame has one more chance left.

    ReplyDelete
  131. CLAUSEN HAD A MAN AND MISSED HIM!!!!!!! USC WINS......AGAIN!!!!!!!

  141. I didn't even realize the Georgia Tech-Va Tech game was on. And it's in the 4th quarter already.

    ReplyDelete
  142. OT rant; Tim McCarver must be the dumbest fucking individual alive. I thought everyone knew that a pitched ball,once released,does not travel at a constant speed, but instead slows down the further the ball is from the release point. But ol' Tim McCarver is shocked to find the ball is a different speed when it hits the target. I mean didn't he take any fucking physics classes back in the day?

    ReplyDelete
  143. @kt1000, I've never taken a Physics class.......I see your point though.

    ReplyDelete
  144. wow, i missed another GA Tech TD?

    ReplyDelete
  145. @Keith i mean McCarver was going on and on about what a revelation the new Fox Trax+ is, and here I thought it was simple fucking common sense.

    ReplyDelete
  146. offside on VA Tech on 4th and 1 gives GA Tech a free 1st down
