ND gagging a little bit in their game, but there's no way they completely choke.

F$U is going to completely roll ND next week.

Magic of the Irish makes homer calls at Autzen look fair.

Seriously the amount of pull refs give the Irish in South Bend is in another level.

Miss St. just beat 3 top top teams in a row.

They should be the unanimous #1 team.

They are for real.

Before last week msu had never been in the top 5 of the ap poll and only ever spent 9 weeks in the top 10(3 of which were in 1940 and 1965)

Alabama made a lot of silly mistakes. Better teams will take advantage of that, then ESPN can promote all they want, but they won't be going anywhere.

Ole Miss is rolling 21-0 early. The state of Mississippi is going to be hopping tonight.

Maybe so, but were they really "top top teams" or maybe a function of the preseason SEC ranking nonsense? I do agree that MSU is top 5 this year though.

Yes, two of those teams could have three losses tomorrow.

TAMU's best win was against a now un-ranked 3-3 South Carolina.

LSU's best win was against a now un-ranked Wisconsin.

If Florida holds on, LSU drops to 4-3 AND Florida will likely be ranked... Because, SEC

SCCat · Post by **SCCat** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:03 pm

I thought you were supposed to schedule a team you can beat for homecoming?

Missou 42, Florida 7 with 11 min still left in the 4th. Where's the puke/you're fired emoticon?

EDIT-Wow this is an amazing box score. Jeff Driskel 7/19, 50 yards 2 picks before he's finally benched. Through 3.5 quarters 36 rushes for 72 yards for Florida? Real nice.

But that isn't even close to the most amazing thing. Through 3.5 quarters Missou has 20 yards passing and 101 yards rushing (and 11 penalties for 74 yards for good measure). Not so amazing if you're getting crushed by 35; fairly amazing when you're up by 35 at Florida.

You can't block until the pass is caught.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:56 pm

Yea thought that was an easy call for the ref and I was hoping they both could lose

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:02 pm

Seemed obvious to me. It's either holding or PI. The receiver was pretty blatant about it. You can't let that shit slide if you're a ref.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:23 pm

....and with ND going down.....I again lament our inability to beat usc last week.

damn you arizona football for raising my hopes and then dashing them!

Only if the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage.

When I saw it live, I agreed. I've watched it like 10 times now, and the DB actually engages the WR and holds onto him for the whole play. Watch the video below. It sure likes like the DB grabs him and never lets go.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:23 am

I hadn't watched any replays until just now, but I see what you're saying. What you can't see from that angle is what is going on with the WR's right hand when the DB realizes where the pass is going and tries to disengage from him. That's where I thought the hold was. The DB looked like he was trying to disengage but was being held onto.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:27 am

Good call on offense, looks like they would have scored anyway.

From that angle it doesn't look like he's running a route. Just blocking.

In your previous post you mentioned his right hand....from this angle you can see his right hand is tucked inside while the DB is bear hugging him around both shoulders. How is this not defensive holding? I agree he seems to be content moving forward....probably because it is a designed pass to the outside and the DB is trying to tackle him.

Coop Cat · Post by **Coop Cat** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 1:11 pm

The only thing I can guess is that since they are within the five yards of the line of scrimmage where DBs can make contact with receivers, the contact on the defensive side is legal. Although I would say that the DB does wrap up.

Tough call there. Probably not one I would have made. I can't tell who is getting the advantage of the contact except for the result of the play. And maybe that's what the ref was looking at. The guy is so wide open that you almost convince yourself it was the result of an illegal pick or block.

No doubt. Obviously the ref doesn't have the luxury of looking at screen caps and youtube slow motion 10 times. When I watched it live I said out loud "that's a pick, pass interference."

Me too. Saw the play live plus one replay and it looked like the right call. Watching it again and again, now I'm not sure. I can definitely see why the ref would throw the flag. And I don't think it's some kind of blatant screw job like all of the ND fans around here are saying. They would like a Watergate-style investigation of who paid off the ref.

Machina · Post by **Machina** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 1:50 pm

Watching live I thought it was the right call.

Now that I have seen in again and again, I think it should have been a no call (although I get why it was called).

To me looking at it again, #8 for FSU for sure holds #20 NDU the entire time. Now the tricky part. It looks like #7 NDU is blocking #3 FSU, but it appears that #3 FSU engages first and grabs first.

SCCat · Post by **SCCat** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 3:07 pm

Teams are 147-2 over the last 10 years when allowing less than 120 yards of offense.

Both losses are by Muschamp at UF.

Gladiator Cat · Post by **Gladiator Cat** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 4:42 pm

I think its safe to say that you can stick a fork in Will Muschamp. Dan Mullen will be roaming the UF sidelines next year. I don't think MSU can match Florida's pay package.
