Week 8 Other Games Thread

[Bring back the Axe]

Joe Rossi might be looking for work soon. IU has had the ball 4 times. 4 - 75+ yd TD drives.

Update: 5 times, 5 - 68+ yd TD drives

Northwestern is pretty solid with their Billy Ball program. Shutting out Purdue 19-0.
They will likely be a couple point favorite vs Gophers.

Northwestern likely to much more difficult than Nebraska. Shutting out a Purdue team that put 450 yards up on the Gophers.

 

[Tully55]

Wiscy with 3 points over the last 10 quarters

Did Purdue QB Ryan Browne get hurt? He threw 10 passes vs NW. Singleton has thrown 19. Browne was 21 of 40 for 203 vs Gophers.

That's because he had the ole ball coach coaching him up for a long time

A very long time. He takes men and guides them through middle age.

 

[TNGophfan]

Brian Kelly is overrated as a coach. I can see LSU growing tired of him as he is a bit of a fish out of water in Baton Rouge.

 

[upnorthkid]

Jump around looked like a great time at camp Randall tonight

 

[Unregistered User]

Georgia/Ole Miss is a damn good game

 

[LeftofThaDial]

That safety that transferred from Bethel to Wisconsin has not played well this year.

 

[fmlizard]

wisconsin has been shut out in 2 straight games, lost 5 straight, and averaged 6.8 points per game in that stretch

I think the big difference between tOSU's trouncing of us and their trouncing of Wisconsin is that Wisconsin's defense held up a little better for some reason. tOSU just speed-boated us.

 

[Panthadad2]

Rutgers keeps handing the ball to the Ducks, and the Ducks are obliging them with TDs. It's a four score blowout barely into the second quarter.

OSU put up more yards today than against the Gophers...

Gophers also had more yards.

This may be Billy's Napier's last stand, Gators up 23-21, but the Fighting Mike Leachs within FG range, 30 seconds left.

And Edit...State got greedy and threw an INT...Napier survives the Reaper...again!

AK crushing it

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

I known they missed a FG but Iowa continues to be strong on special teams. Gophers need to be careful next week.

Has Lanning complained about the time zones yet?

If there was anything negative from our game yesterday, punting and coverage was not great. It will be much more of a field position game vs Iowa.

 

[DelawareGopher]

How is Notre Dame ranked 13 at 4-2?

I mean, I know: Notre Dame. But still.

The only punting gaffe yesterday was giving Barney even 1 chance to make a return.

I would be more than happy with a fair catch 35 yard punt every time vs Barney and iowa too.

[DarrenTheGreek]

Arkansas giving TAM a tough game, cause it just means more or something

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Iowa with the INT . Terrible mistake for PSU. Amazing how often that happens for Hawkeyes

 

[Unregistered User]

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[howeda7]

Kirk, what were you thinking?

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Ferentz tries a 66 yard FG and it's blocked and returned for a score. Iowa will win if they just don't do anything stupid.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Neither offense looking good in Iowa/PSU.....huge play going into half for Penn State though....maybe their kicker can hit 66 yarders in practice but that seemed like a really low percentage move there.

Not quite a given, but for a college kicker to kick from that distance, the ball isn't going to be very high. Clearly a stupid call. Good thing Fleck didn't do that, or we would have 25 posts about that.
