The Troy Aikman Memorial Week 8 NCAA Football Running Thread

Final score: Woflpack tops Vandals 70-45. Where was this Nevada offense against Notre Dame?

Idaho's undersized D-line got pushed all over the field today.

To wit: Nevada rushes for 484 yards on 53 carries. 9.1 yards per rush.

Maybe Hawaii should have run the ball last week ...

 

24th?

 

Where the hell was the Wolfpack vs. Fresno?

Oh, for you Big 10 haters: Herky 3 Sparty 3 Halftime.

 

C'mon D-3 Fan, when that's the score in the Bama-Tennessee game, that's known as "great SEC defense!" :

 

TCU curb-stopping BYU, 21-0 in the 2nd quarter

 

Sorry I missed that game. I had a feeling it was coming, though.

 

Tex AM up 28-14 over the TTeckers at the half? Whoa.

I almost think I'd rather see TCU in a BCS bowl instead of Boise.

 

Exactly! For all the sandbagging the Big 10 gets, the SEC doesn't look so good themselves this year. Iowa, in some ways, is like Bama last year and this year: just enough offense to score, and defense is their calling card.

 

If they go unbeaten, they'll have done a hell of a lot more to earn it than Boise.

 

So I'm watching the Oregon State-SC game and I can't believe how many mistakes Mike Patrick is making. Let alone his repeated surprise that Oregon State isn't intimidated by USC. Where's he been?

 

Well, that's a bit of a turnaround for the Bullies right before halftime.

 

After I admit to being a dumbass for turning Tenn.-Bama off and get it out of the way, we'll return to the snark:

Someone might want to tell Lane Kiffin, super genius, about the art of the cut block.

How do you let the same guy block the kick again? Egads.
