OK, here is the deal.
I am away this weekend in Cape May at a family function and so far I have not been able to find a bar that has the regional telecast of the game.
If I can't find the game on TV I will be on the thread and you guys will have to keep me posted. If I do find the game I won't be on the thread...maybe by phone for the occasional mobile message.
This will be an interesting game to see of SC has a let down after last weeks game against Notre Dame. I do think this is a trap game. But I also think that the players have the right mind set, they have already their tough loss this season and they are heading into a tough part of the schedule so they need to keep focused.
Leave your comments or rants here.
I will be on the post-game thread after the game for sure.
FIGHT ON!

Oh boy oh boy
Another potential WTF game, and on espn360.com to boot. I can hardly stand the anticipation.
20 - 6 Arizona over UCLA
Apparently the Bruins have replaced Prince with Craft, according to one of the CGB posters.
Miss State with 100 yd return on an INT
Maybe I should relocate to the tv just in case this gets interesting, Florida up 13 – 10
Can't believe the refs missed that call
I mean yeah I shouldn’t be surprised but it just shows how piss poor the refs are
shit that was close
Bullshit hit, glad to see OSU lose the INT on that one. Instant karma’s gonna get you.
No, OSU lost the coin toss
and we (of course) deferred. We’ll get the ball at the beginning of the 3rd.
It'll be interesting to see how that works out
I don’t think he gives them the best chance to win, myself, but it could, so it’s not necessarily waving the white flag on the season and getting him reps for next year. In any event, the reps can only help him down the road, as he’s presumably the starting QB for next year.
UCLA now 0 – 4 in conference. That’s surprising, frankly. I had thought their defense would keep them in more games.
check out some of the comments towards the end of the second half thread...
Dorrell vs. CRN
Dorrell doesn’t look so bad now huh?

not like bob toledo left a lot for dorrell to work with…

good point.
I hate to say it but this team looks a lot like Dorrell’s teams…complete with all the same issues.

Yeah, but unlike Dorrell
CRN show some life on the sidelines.

but the results are still the same

I won’t argue that fact.

Oh settle down Mike Patrick, I think the old Wembley, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, the Camp Nou in Barcelona, and many more stadia might just be in there for storied history and emotion.
The announcers for this game ?

AB NEEDS TO START!!!
Let’s hope everyone gets over McKnight’s “big play ability”. AB needs the rock. It’s an automatic 5 yards a touch.
That was great

I've only been following the play-by-play...
…but it seems like:
1) the coaching staff finally figured out that the 2RB rotation works best (sorry Gable)
2) too many passing yards given up by the D up the middle

This reminds me of Aaron Rogers in the Coliseum
Really really efficient passing against us, but I like that we’re coming back with counterpunches.
OSU has needed some pretty remarkable plays to sustain their drives
I think we’ll start wearing down their O-Line and get more pressure on the QB
It also seems like most of the damage in the running game
has came on runs to the left side of the Trojan offensive line

"Special teams is where a team like USC ... can just turn a game around"
Reggie Bush aside, the last few years have proven that out, but maybe not in the way the announcer intended.
I love the push in the back there
Announcers too busy making the point they decided to make 15 seconds ago to actually watch the replay on the screen
Yes, but I think it's less that he's making these plays...
…it’s hard to not come in high on a guy that short, especially when he goes down after making the catch (although it should still have been a 15-yard penalty and an ejection wouldn’t have been out of line), but more that he’s coming to these plays that late.
Short kickoff after a penalty is a good move by Riley
I usually see teams kick it through the goalposts for a touchback.
Too much time left for that
I feel like we’ve learned our lessons from the early games, and are keeping the pedal down. Very glad to see that occurring this year.
But give Bradford a carry on 1st or 2nd down
I like that we’re mixing passes in, but McKnight isn’t our run-the-clock-out back
Saw that play coming a mile away
and I’m sure they did too, but there was nothing they could do to stop it.
Very nice velocity/placement by Barkley.
Well
Congrats guys. What a great game to watch and be a part of. I will say that I’m not that fond of your guy Taylor Mays, but that’s alright. Feel free to stop by Building the Dam and talk about the game. Good luck the rest of the way. (Especially next week)
Hi, my name is Connor. Except over on ATQ where I am known as, "JConnor."
