UCLA-OSU update
Kevin Craft fumbled the ball on his own 4 yard line and gave it up to Oregon St. On the next play, Sean Canfield fumbled the ball and UCLA recovered on their own 7.
ಠ_ಠ
Moevao comes in for Canfield
And his first pass is intercepted by UCLA. I’m glad Alabama-LSU, Oregon-Stanford, and Penn St-Iowa have been good, because this is some grade-A uglyball.

Seriously, how bad is the SEC?
Alabama baaaarely scraped out a win against an underwhelming LSU team. I am so incredibly unimpressed. I really think that Alabama should lose the No. 1 ranking after that stinkfest. That game was almost unwatchable. I thought that both Oregon and Stanford looked better than either of those teams. Speak of … I know the $C game is like minutes away, but I am already getting very anxious about Big Game. Stanfraud almost pulled it out in Autzen.
Check again
After today, what is the SEC’s record vs. the Mountain West? And while Tennessee is obviously not the standard-bearer for the conference, neither is Wyoming for the MWC.
Quite frankly, I don’t think there is a very big difference between the quality of all the conferences. All have good teams. All have bad teams. And as we’ve seen time and time again, it is never easy to run the table in any conference. Never.
Go Bears!

The SEC is on a down year. But their best teams are still way ahead of the Pac-10’s best teams and slightly ahead of the MWC.

UCLA-OSU tied at 3 at halftime
Our trip to Corvallis next weekend suddenly doesn’t look nearly as intimidating.
ಠ_ಠ
I've argued the same thing
but road games still worry me with our team. Next week’s is less worrisome than before though.
ಠ_ಠ
Enough
This week’s games have no bearing on next week’s. Remember what we said when Arizona lost to the ’Furd.

You’re only saying this because you don’t want to see Brock Mansion.

i’m watching this on regional ABC, but I can’t seem to pick up the ABC HD channel right now. anyone know why? my other HD stations are working.
Pain Train up the middle for a TD! I like that.

look at mcknight's ball security...
need to strip that bad boy
Tackling's going to have to improve
For the third straight road game there’s lots of slippage. Must be the condoms.
meh, happens to every team. its how they recover that changes the game
