PrintWell that was pretty damn great. There's plenty of time for analysis later; for now we will just bask in the afterglow of a second straight annihilation of the Fightin' Ronald McDonalds.
The evening slate isn't nearly as loaded as the late afternoon games, but we do get Penn State vs. Alabama. On tap for tonight:
* Penn State @ Alabama, 7pm EST (ESPN)
* Oregon @ Tennessee, 7pm EST (ESPN2)
* Wyoming @ Texas, 7pm EST (FSN)
* LSU @ Vanderbilt, 7pm EST (ESPNU)
* Southern Illinois @ Illinois, 7:30pm EST (BTN)
* Stanford @ UCLA, 10:30pm EST (ESPN)
* VIrginia @ USC, 10:30pm EST (FSN)
Go Nitts. (And Salukis, of course.)

UM just missed a 3rd down try, woot
"They wind the clock. 9 seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn’t know that! The game is going to end on this play . . . He fires downfield. It’s caught . . . And into the end zone! Touchdown Iowa! Touchdown Iowa! No time on the clock! I don’t believe what I just saw!"
Aw, but they made the 4th down conversion
And I’m in here talking to myself

Poor tackling probably costs you 3-10 points a game – easy – if the teams are evenly matched.

It's rough dude
My girlfriend is a USF grad, and even here you can’t walk into a sports bar outside of campus on a Saturday without it being filled with Gators fans. Now I know how UNI feels.
My rule of thumb is if you start a freshman QB
you should not be ranked in TOP 20. Had no idea though that PSU did not do any tackling drills to preapre for the season.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
no shit
it’s like watching USC’s first game, who didn’t do contact in practices
they need to HIT, and put pressure on the QB. That OL isn’t moving an inch
Penn State's defense was supposed to be their shot at staying in this game.
But this does not look like a Penn State defense.

That was confusing as hell.
Didn’t they say “the ruling on the field stands, PSU ball?” I honestly thought it really should have been PSU ball. Looked like the Bama guy never had control of the ball. DJK had a lot more control on the OB play where he got hurt and his catch got overruled.
Maybe the refs ruled PSU ball on the field but forgot to tell everyone?

Dunno.
Usually if the weather is so bad that they can’t get the game in at all, they know in advance that it’s going to be that bad and just push it back.
Lightning seems to be the main thing that stops football.
And that rarely lasts for 3+ hours.

Yeah, but it's a whole new year.
I think Iowa will be better at stopping the run this year and unlike Michigan – whose adjustment this year was to run more with the quarterback – Iowa’s adjustments probably won’t be dependent on the “injury” and “stamina” stats in NCAA 10.

But you have to start somewhere and Iowa absolutely stoned ISU on the ground today after they did pretty damn well against us last year.
OSU looks good in everything but special teams coverage. Pryor still seems to mix in a lot of terrible passes with his really good ones, too.

The tradeoff
I feel like the defense on underneath passes is weak compared to last year. Part of that is the semi-new linebacking corps. Part of it today was also ISU’s hurry-up, which forced in the second string, which doesn’t seem as good in pass defense as Tarpinian, Hunter, and Nielsen.
Well, my old signature is now VERBOTEN on Cyclone Chronicles. Nazis. I knew they hated America.

exactly
why Rhoads wants to run an offense that eschews good line work and relies on super WRs and a very good QB when those two positions are quite possibly the hardest to recruit. Is beyond me. He should run the fuck out of the ball and have like 10 TEs…in other words, he should run our offense.

Definitely true. I was more focused on my anecdote-based theory.
In these big “conference respect” games, it always seems like the B10 team’s passing game is terrible in all aspects (poor throws, dropped balls etc.) It’s not so much a speed thing as it is basic passing and catching.
In the 90’s, the Big Ten had QBs like Brady and Brees. Who are the best B10 QBs since 2000? Kyle Orton?
by houksyndrome on Sep 11, 2010 8:28 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah
But you know the talking heads will use this game as a Big 10 knock all year, even if PSU doesn’t make a bowl game.
I think even the WWL will pause before bashing the Big Ten too much
over Penn State’s performance. Especially considering how good OSU, Iowa, and John Clay look so far.

Looking at that Sched....
Michigan could be undefeated when Iowa heads to the big house.
I half expect MSU-Mich football to be higher scoring than MSU-Mich hoops this year.
Seriously, I don’t know how either team makes a single stop on defense.
They might not be consistant enough to stop Mich 3 straight downs.
But it only takes one hit on DRob. I think they can do that.
Everyone was slobbering all over Forcier at this time last season.
I do think that DickRod will rebuild Michigan into a major power, though. That offensive style is very effective at the collegiate level and he already has brought in dynamic athletes to man the QB position. One or two more years and Michigan will be tough again, maybe even this year.

“Until that quarterback takes the ball, and they have plays designed for him to run it, it’s not a spread offense. It’s just a one-back offense,” Parker said. "Peyton Manning, is that a spread offense? He’s got three wideouts, but they don’t have pre-designed runs for him, so that’s not a spread offense.
“It’s those quarterbacks that take off and run with the ball. Now you’ve got a spread offense. Now you’ve got another problem. But there’s not as many of those as everybody likes to believe. They see three wideouts and they think, ‘Ooh, spread offense.’ It’s not a spread, it’s a one-back offense.”

UVA = great academic school and other oddball stuff
Sucky boring campus. I did see some decent games there though when Welsh was coach. (lived in VA from 91-99)
They were infamous for years for their “Marching Band” which really was a preppy dressed pep band that did political skits. They got perm banned from what used to be the Liberty Bowl in Memphis for their halftime show titled “Elvis Really Is Dead.”
They get really drunk, much more so than I’ve seen at any Big 10 game. The Albemarle County cops really don’t care… at least when I went to games. I remember one time – while she was still on the Today Show – they were introducing famous alums at halftime and 50,000 people (this was before they expanded Scott Stadium) BOOED her. It was awesome.
I saw some pretty awesome TD runs by Tiki Barber when he was at UVA…
Best part of UVA stadium – girls wearing incredibly short minidresses to the game. Definitely some of the hottest best dressed coeds in college football in the 90s.
I’ve also been to games at VA Tech, and while I’d say they’re better football fans its a much more sucky game day atmosphere than UVA….

Be sure to trash Georgia at every opportunity
For dropping that game to South Carolina. For reasons unknown to science or religion, Georgia fans adamantly believe Georgia is the #1 team in the country every single year, no matter what evidence surfaces suggesting otherwise, and they take great pride in having substantially lower academic credentials than the students at Georgia Tech. You can validate all these claims in one fell swoop. Go to a Georgia blog and rub their noses in this loss and sign it -JacketMan92.
Georgia is like Clemson
they won one title 30 years ago during a general downtime in college football and have delusional expectations that this is the natural state of affairs every year since. And I say this as a fan of Georgia
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
It is at the Coliseum
Which means you get very good crowd shots of entitled football fans being indignant when the score is tied or their unbeatable (unless it’s because they are weakened by the NCAA for being too awesome) team is actually losing at home. Always one of my favorite crowd shot schadenfreude venues.
USC's campus is in the ghetto in LA

They're in LA and their history is better than UCLA's?
Granted the two campuses and neighborhoods are not even worth comparing. But they are good when they can leverage LA’s star makers to promote the shit out of them and make kids want to play there for the celebrity of it.
My issue source of joy with the coliseum is that the front row of their student section usually looks like a cast reunion of the Hills or some MTV shit, and they all look like someone shit in their cheerios at the least sign of vulnerability from their team. They also remind me of Northwestern fans just with a better football team, rhinoplasty, fake jugs, and a spray tan.
so Oregon took all the PAC10 speeeeed to Knoxville?
And didn’t leave any for the rest of the conference?
Tennessee just can't tackle
Oregon isn’t any faster then the rest of the teams I watched today.
I don't think Michigan or Notre Dame are all that good
To quote Al McGuire, kill the head, and the body dies. Stop Michigan’s QB and that offense dies.

How much does a top NFL coordinator make per year?
My guess would be between $500k and maybe $1 million. So, if he gets to coach with his son, and he gets to make good money (probably $250k to $500k), and he gets to be in LA. Not too shabby, even if you don’t get to be in a bowl game for two years. He was last an NFL DC for the Titans for one year, and for Tampa before that. Tampa is an absolute disaster right now, and Tennessee might not make the playoffs.

Is it a plus or minus
to coach with Lane?
One thing I still don't know is what exactly are Lane's credentials? Before becoming HC at Tennessee, did he have previous HC experience?

Yes
I believe he coached the Raiders for a game or two before Al Davis got his track suit in a bundle and realized his error.
Sorry
One season, then a game or two of the second season. After the obligatory he said-he said finger pointing with Davis in the offseason following a 4-12 season.
Honestly, Al Davis is a senile old fuck.
But with everything that Kiffin’s said and done since leaving the Raiders, Al’s case against him only gets stronger and stronger.

Lane's credentials?
Being Monte’s son. At this point, though, Monte should demand a paternity test

Lane Kiffin
was OC at USC under Pete Carroll. Since USC is a private school, it doesn’t report salary figures. However, “sources” indicate that Lane Kiffin makes around $4M annually. In addition, Monte Kiffin makes around $2M annually, and other key assistants (e.g., Ed Orgeron) are handsomely compensated as well.
I’m guessing that all of these guys are happy to wait out the consequences of the Carroll administration, stock up on insane recruiting classes (http://rivals.yahoo.com/usc/football/recruiting/commitments/2011) and hit the ground running in 2012.
Yeah, USC is gonna be just fine.

If Kiffin can actually coach
which we have no real indication he can do. Ask ND or Michigan, the mighty can fall.
It never gets to be easy

You are assuming that Hello Kiffin isn't a completely incompetent coach
and that his reign will not lead to additional sanctions of some sort.
Neither of these assumptions appear to be grounded in reality.
You forget
that the bowl ban only ends in 2012, USC will still be in the midst of severe scholarship reductions imposed by the NCAA that will limit the number of players they can recruit. Will USC still get top-tier talent, probably. The difference is that with the scholarship reduction, they can’t afford to miss on any players, there is no margin for error if a couple of guys don’t pan out. And that hasn’t even been the case the past few years, let alone now that you’ve got Kiffykins in charge.

I'd say yes
After how poorly he schemed for the pistol last week. The continuing inability for contact tackling drills due to injuries and lack of depth isn’t ideal either.
So how much have you had to drink today?
I’ve had water, and a giant Diet Coke that’s keeping me awake right now.

actually nothing at all
just extremely happy. I am so relieved when this week is over and those bastards can go back into their holes for another year. I am however sleep deprived and finally over last nights hangover.

I'm still pretty jacked about the win
So far (knock on wood) we’ve dominated this year like a Top 10 team should do against the opponents its favored by. We certainly blew out the Vegas spread today….

I couldn't watch it
I kept on getting texts from my brother and could not believe the degree of ass kicking that was being dealt. I hope they can keep it up next week. A repeat performance in AZ will keep us going

I was kind of hoping that ISU would put up a fight
Just to get us ready for Arizona. Hopefully Arizona gets a rude awakening after their cupcakes when the competition level improves. Then again, it should be a step up in competition for Iowa too. And at least Arizona went to Akron for that beating.
Honestly I think we proved more today
I’m thrilled we stomped the shit out of them and crushed the only high point of their season. Hopefully their two high points are beating NIU and scoring a TD on us.

Yeah
I almost feel bad for ISU when thinking about what NE, OK, and TX are going to do to them this year.
Stanford-UCLA
Is Stanford really good, or is UCLA just really, really bad? Can’t tell without video.
A little of both
Stanford gave OU all they could handle in their bowl game until OU pulled away … even with an injured team, they had superior athletes. But UCLA is really, really bad. This is likely Neuheisel’s last coaching stop before he takes that TV analyst job.

More of the latter
Neuheisal is a complete fraud. He and Kiffin will be battling for the Fail Bowl trophy in 2 seasons

Wow, anybody else see the call in the Lions/Bears game?
Crazy unfair. Rules or not..heartbreaking just from how it looked
