Week 14 College Football Game Thread

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

I see Baylor pressing too hard here and KSU sticking it to them.

 

[BigMike]

Was 90 seconds late flipping over to the Baylor game.  What a shock, already up 7-0

 

[mabrowndog]

Villanova fumbles at the Liberty 27-yard line. Flames take over with 10:00 left.
 
EDIT - The Wildcat D comes up big holding Liberty to a second straight 3-and-out. Nova now back to the Flames 17 with a first down approaching the 3:00 mark after 11 straight running plays pick up 67 yards.
 
EDIT - Some epic clock-eating by Nova. They get down to the 8 and face 4th & 1 with 2:53 left after Liberty used all 3 timeouts. Yet instead of kicking the lead FG, the go for it -- and make it. Three more running plays later, and they're in the end zone. 29-22, Wildcats.
 
That's 18 plays -- all runs -- churning 81 yards and taking 7:11. Liberty will have 1:12 to tie or win it.

 
They get to the Nova 49 but no further as their Hail Mary falls incomplete. The Wildcats avoid the home upset.
 
Meanwhile, Montana has 21 seconds left in its season trailing Eastern Washington 37-20.
 
With 7 of the top 8 seeds advancing, next weekend's quarterfinal matchups (times TBA):
 
#8 Chattanooga at #1 New Hampshire
#5 Illinois State at #4 Eastern Washington
#14 Sam Houston State at #6 Villanova
#7 Coastal Carolina at #2 North Dakota State

 

[mabrowndog]

LOL Baylor. Picked in the end zone.

 

[BigMike]

What a play by the KSU DB.  That looked like an easy 7

 

[Infield Infidel]

What a pick by Kansas St

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

That's how you beat Baylor - turnovers.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Is that Gus Johnson I hear!?

 

[BigMike]

Go Jackets,  Sting Em.
 
Kind of wishing I went to this one

 

[soxhop411]

That smoke is all from fireworks?

 

[mabrowndog]

Is that fog enveloping the stadium in Charlotte? Or smoke residue from the pointlessly useless and perpetually underwhelming pyrotechnics used way too often during team intros?

 

[soxhop411]

Why do teams launch fireworks anyway?

 

[soxhop411]

Is that fog enveloping the stadium in Charlotte? Or smoke residue from the pointlessly useless and perpetually underwhelming pyrotechnics used way too often during team intros?

I believe its fireworks

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Is that fog enveloping the stadium in Charlotte? Or smoke residue from the pointlessly useless and perpetually underwhelming pyrotechnics used way too often during team intros?

I think it's some of both, but primarily fog

 

[mabrowndog]

If that was a vagina he was throwing at, Jameis would have been on target.

 

[soxhop411]

The ACC Launched Pregame Fireworks Into Fog and This Happened http://t.co/ncWYjFc1TI http://t.co/dUIlJIFd8p

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

I think it's some of both, but primarily fog

If this continues, I would love to see them switch to the floating camera as the primary shot.

 

[mabrowndog]

Tech is on FIRE!

 

[mabrowndog]

This is so much fun to watch right now. Perkins with a great run after the pitch, and he got some superb blocking.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Gus Johnson!

 

[BigMike]

GT is by far the best offense FSU has played this year

 

[mabrowndog]

That's going to get overturned.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Inconclusive imo.

How is this allowed to happen (the fireworks) when TV revenues are such a huge source of funds? Why isn't abc prohibiting that nonsense?

 

[mabrowndog]

Jesus. This FB for Baylor is 6'7", 420 lbs.

 

[BigMike]

"Good job by Andrews giving just enough contact to keep him out there" ???
 
Andrews came by ans threw an elbow to the helmet of the tech RB as he was being dragged down.  

 

[mabrowndog]

KSU starting safety Dylan Schellenberg just broke his left leg near the goal line. Air cast, stretcher, etc.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Let's go Wreck.  Tonight, we are all GT fans.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Another terrible throw by Winston but O'Leary bails him out with a great catch.
 
Then, GT fucks up the coverage and O'Leary is wide open for a TD. 7-7.  The safety went with the post and nobody went with O'Leary.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's not a wheel route.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

GT is by far the best offense FSU has played this year

Their defense, on the other hand...

 

[RedOctober3829]

That's not a wheel route.

Let Kirk go he's on a roll.  Probably watching the Buckeyes in the booth anyways.

 

[Infield Infidel]

there is way too much awesome football on right now. 

 

[mabrowndog]

That's not a wheel route.

 
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. More like a crossing route, since he worked from inside the post receiver to the outside, and he was well past the LOS when he made his curve toward the sideline.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Unlimited and easy. Sounds like my last girlfriend

 

[Infield Infidel]

72 yard punt!! Make sure there's a defibrillator near Chuck Z

 

[RedOctober3829]

Baylor dominating K-State.  Tomorrow afternoon is going to be real interesting if FSU wins.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a friggin' punt.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

there is way too much awesome football on right now. 

And a Bruins game.  It's an awesome night not to have a life

 

[RedOctober3829]

GT is going to keep dominating FSU on the ground without Eddie Goldman in the middle.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Baylor dominating K-State.  Tomorrow afternoon is going to be real interesting if FSU wins.

I don't think so. FSU won't be left out and by moving TCU to 3 I think the committee was signaling that they're in.

 

[mabrowndog]

FSU cannot defend this team when they sweep & pitch.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

GT is going to keep dominating FSU on the ground without Eddie Goldman in the middle.

They average 334 rushing yards/game.  No one is going to stop their running game.  FSU has to outscore them.

 

[RedOctober3829]

They can not stop GT.  This is awesome.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

They can not stop GT.  This is awesome.

FSU will need to keep pace with them and hope GT stops themselves which they have been want to do.

 

[Couperin47]

Now FSU needs to turn it over and get rattled.

 

[tims4wins]

The Jackets haven't thrown a pass yet

 

[BigMike]

They average 334 rushing yards/game.  No one is going to stop their running game.  FSU has to outscore them.

 
Agreed,  and as always with a wishbone team, turnovers are the one thing that can really kill them.

 

[SumnerH]

I don't think so. FSU won't be left out and by moving TCU to 3 I think the committee was signaling that they're in.

 
Yeah, it only gets interesting if FSU loses and Ohio St wins--Baylor may jump OSU with the QB situation there.

 

[SumnerH]

FSU will need to keep pace with them and hope GT stops themselves which they have been want to do.

 
wont.
