NY Kia... I'm fairly flexible with my times this week. Pretty much anytime after 5pm CT works for me, though prefer to start by 10pm CT at the latest.

Razorback, I have a busy schedule tomorrow with a job fair, but I should be available most of Wednesday. Unemployment gives me a lot of free time.

Austin, TX (AP) -- Texas wins despite an ugly effort on offense.

Despite throwing for 412 yards QB David Ash suffered from extreme hot and cold streaks - the highs were high with two touchdown passes of 37 yards including passes of 50 and 47 yards. The lows were low, with extreme cold streak where Ash couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and throwing five interceptions.

Coach Gillett stated, "I knew a game like this was coming with a young quarterback, while you never want to see that type of performance I'm glad it came during a game the defense played lights out." This game was put on the shoulders of Ash, Baylor took away RB Malcolm Brown, limiting him to 8 yards on 12 carries - this opened up the running game for Ash (47 yards on 8 carries) and the passing game (412 yards and 3 TDs).

Despite the 3-0 start the Longhorns aren't happy with their offensive performance and need to find a way to run the ball more consistently as the next few weeks will make or break the Longhorns season, a five week stretch against top 25 teams, it all kicks off next week against #17 USC.

[JeffHCross]

Outgained by my opponent: Check.
Kickoff return for a TD by G. Reid: Check
Missed FGs by opponent: Check. (To be fair, only one of them landed less than 5 yards short of the uprights. Nicely done, CPU!)
Ridiculously accurate streak undone by ridiculously can't-hit-a-barn streak: Check.

Seems I've found a recipe to win.

Florida State gets just enough to win against Tennessee, 28-11. The Seminoles had seven prospects fly in for the contest.

[JeffHCross]

My best cover corner, as his man made his cut on a curl route:

My best cover corner, two seconds later when the ball was actually thrown (guess who to):

[gschwendt]

Yeah... that was included in the patch notes for the second patch. It's very aggravating.

[JeffHCross]

Ahhh, thanks G. I didn't realize that's the kind of thing that item was talking about. I was assuming it meant "into the backfield" like it was a blitz.

Side note: Looks like all of you are totally kicking my ass on defense this year. That sucks!
EDIT: Right as I hit post, I recalled that I'm the only one that hasn't had a bye week yet. Makes me feel tons better, though my defense is still underperforming.

[psuexv]

USC takes out some aggression on Oklahoma and punishes them. I was able to shut down the Sooners offense and knocked Jones out twice with ACL injuries but he kept coming back. Also took Finch out for the season.

This also may be the coolest fumble that I've seen in a long while in a football game

[psusnoop]

That was pretty cool! Best one I can remember seeing.

[nykia31]

ND Awaiting The Headache that is Denard Robinson.

Kick Off in T-Minus 90 Minutes.

[Kingpin32]

Razorback, I was doing stuff at my church all day today and just now getting back home. What's good for you tomorrow?

[nykia31]

I hate Denard Robinson :(

[gschwendt]

I hate Denard Robinson :(
:cool:

Don't worry... I only get him for the one year. Though considering I had 10 players visiting for our game and one is poised to contribute right away at QB, you might start hating Kevin Jones :)

Michigan Takes Down Rival Notre Dame 17-10 in Ann Arbor

Wolverines fans cringed in fear early on in their matchup against Notre Dame. QB Denard Robinson took a vicious hit that sidelined him. As fans sat chewing their fingernails, the crowd erupted after Robinson made his return to the field. Robinson proved crucial as he completed all 8 pass attempts (though only one thrown more than 10 yard down field) and added 9 carries for 66 yards and a rushing touchdown.

The injury happened very early on and Robinson missed only a single play, but his injury also forced coach Rex Rodriguez (cousin to Rex Ryan & more successful half-brother of Rich Rodriguez) to punt on 4th & 2 from the Irish 42. While the punt was downed inside the 10 yard line, that didn't slow down Notre Dame as they traveled the near length of the field to put up the games first points, a 29 yard field goal from 27 yards out. After that drive, Michigan again was faced with a 4th & short from midfield, again electing to punt and this time pinning the Irish at the 1 yard line. However, one quick pass strike later gave The Irish room to breathe and eventually put up a touchdown with 2:45 left in the second quarter.

RexRod quickly gathered his offense around him and told him that the buck stops here... this is where we turn the ball game around. That they did. A very quick 37 yard strike from Robinson to WR Roy Roundtree followed up by a 38 yard QB-keeper scamper by Robinson put the Wolverines on the scoreboard for the first time of the game, answering Notre Dame in only 23 seconds. From there, Michigan owned the scoreboard not allowing another point.

Michigan took their first lead of the game with 6:03 remaining in the fourth. From there, Notre Dame drove down the field setting up an eventual 4th & long from the Michigan 15 yard line, however the deep corner route to the endzone was thwarted by Safety Thomas Gordon. After Michigan took over on downs with just more than a minute remaining, three quick runs were able to burn all three Notre Dame timeouts. Pinning the Irish back deep, Michigan knew the game was in their favor, only needing to keep the Irish off the scoreboard one last time. Notre Dame moved quickly, eventually setting up at the Michigan 40 yard line; that's where Michigan CB Blake Countess stepped up huge. ND QB Tommy Rees launched a ball up the sideline trying to find his WR only for Countess to quickly spin and snap the ball out of the air.

From there, it was the Victory formation for the Wolverines winning their 4th game on the early season. This game was especially sweet considering coach RexRod had invited 10 highly sought after targets to watch this rivalry matchup. That should prove very valuable on the recruiting trail.

Week 5 is complete. OK State comes back to win a close game thanks to a missed field goal in the last seconds. It was a great game.

[JeffHCross]

OK State comes back to win a close game thanks to a missed field goal in the last seconds. It was a great game.The hell? The 4th quarter of the scoring summary from your game:

7:31 TD Ok St Isaiah Anderson WR #82 58 yard TD from Clint Chelf QB #10 (Clint Chelf QB #10 kick)
6:29 TD Ok St Isaiah Anderson WR #82 4 yard TD from Clint Chelf QB #10 (Clint Chelf QB #10 kick)
3:40 TD Ark Dennis Johnson HB #33 9 yard TD (Tyler Wilson QB #8 kick)
1:06 TD Ok St Charlie Moore WR #17 2 yard TD from Clint Chelf QB #10 (Isaiah Anderson WR #82 kick)

[Kingpin32]

The hell? The 4th quarter of the scoring summary from your game:

7:31 TD Ok St Isaiah Anderson WR #82 58 yard TD from Clint Chelf QB #10 (Clint Chelf QB #10 kick)
6:29 TD Ok St Isaiah Anderson WR #82 4 yard TD from Clint Chelf QB #10 (Clint Chelf QB #10 kick)
3:40 TD Ark Dennis Johnson HB #33 9 yard TD (Tyler Wilson QB #8 kick)
1:06 TD Ok St Charlie Moore WR #17 2 yard TD from Clint Chelf QB #10 (Isaiah Anderson WR #82 kick)
I had a very big 4th quarter. I scored, then Arkansas threw a pick immediately after. Scored again. Then they scored, and I scored last. I almost broke my controller twice.

[Kingpin32]

And I also failed on 2 out of 3 2 pt conversions.

[JeffHCross]

It was the 2 pt conversions that caught my eye. If you notice, they're all listed as kicks by either QBs or your WR. I was quite confused.
