LSU RB Spencer Ware has jumped into the Heisman Watch Top 5 with his old school 32 carry 166 yard 4 TD day against TCU. Hopefully they send me another Earl Campbell, Jr. type back....I'll be waiting.

[fsuprime]

we are all waiting for your first commitment, you seem to be slacking.

[texacotea]

would have loved to have this team to start the year

lol....I prefer to think that my targets are going through the process to make sure that they make the correct decision. I'm in a good spot with a ton....and I'm very excited about locking up a kicker with 96 power (amen)....plus an athlete out of Colorado that will help me transition to my power spread....looks like a superb QB....only if USC stops breathing on my neck.

ND beats back a pesky Oregon State Squad 41-28.

Manti Te'O got knocked out the game, mid 1st quarter with a concussion; and with him, the ability for my team to play run defense.

Tommy Rees shook off a couple of turnovers to pitch for 28-40, 332 and 3 TDs

Cierre Wood closed the show with 68 yds, and 2 TDs.

Michigan takes out USC 38-7

Ann Arbor, MI - Michigan scored first and scored often in their conference opener against the USC Trojans. Sticking to their running game, the Wolverines' HB Fitzgerald Toussaint racked up 111 yards on 22 carries and added two scores on the day. QB Denard Robinson had a quieter day than his opening week's performance but still performed solid completing 9/15 passes for 155 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Defensively, the Wolverines held the high-powered USC offense to 287 yards of total offense, limiting them to only 29 yards rushing on the day. FS Jordan Kovacs added two interceptions on the day, juking & jiving one for a 69 yard return for touchdown.

Things started slow as Michigan waited to score until 1:23 remaining in the opening quarter. After another Michigan TD, USC answered back with 36 seconds remaining in the half setting the score at 14-7. Knowing USC got the ball back after the half, the Wolverines decided to put up some more points to break their back heading into the locker room. Denard Robinson connected had a prayer answered from 34 yards out as he connected with WR Jeremy Gallon for the score as the first half expired. After that, it was two big plays that lead to the final score... a 80 yard run by HB Toussaint and Kovac's 69 yard interception return.

With the win, Michigan improves to 2-0 (1-0) on the early season and take next week off before traveling to Minnesota to face the Gophers.

been doing it all week and I managed to get my game in?????????????


Ohio State needed every min in the game to beat Miami (oh). The Redhawks went up 21-0 mid way through the 2nd. tOSU scored just before half to make it 21-7. The buckeyes scored 3 more times and a 2 pt conversion to make it 29-21 late in the 4th. The redhawks scored again with under a min left but failed the 2pt conversion and the Buckeyes got the win 29-27

It actually was despite the score. I went back and thought about the game after we talked and how I said I felt like I held you in check and not sure where the game went, especially since Troussaint had 80 of his 111 on one carry. It boiled down to a couple big plays. That fumble on the sideline that set you up inside my 40 that lead to your 2nd TD, the bomb before the half, the fumble(I think on my first or second possession of the 2nd half) that put inside my 20 and lead to another TD. Add to those the fact that I came up a yard short on 3 3rd down conversions and it makes for an ugly day :)

Weeks 2 & 3 for me :(

[JeffHCross]

been doing it all week and I managed to get my game in?Wasn't what I was meaning to imply at all. I planned to get my game and recruiting in on Wednesday, it just didn't happen because some higher priority things came up at home. What I was meaning that when I said "after work tomorrow" didn't mean 5 pm like probably it does for some on this forum.

We are Ready to Advance.
