NCAA football, 2013-14

[sbr]

Eastern washington driving for the go ahead td with 2 minutes left.

Down 3; 1st down on the osu 4 yard line.

On one hand this sucks for the pac-12.  On the other beaver fan tears are my favorite flavor.

[sbr]

Oh silly beavers.  Down 4 with 18 seconds.

ffs missed pat, only down 3.

Either way osu gave up 49 points to eastern washington.

EDIT:  Damn, EWU QB threw for 400+ yards and 4 TDs, and ran for 100+ yds and 2 TDs.

Arizona look by far the best out of the Pac-12 so far. Rose Bowl is almost inevitable this year.

The hit that got Terrance Mitchell ejected.  At first at full speed I thought the QB slide under him while he was already diving, but nope.  The penalty and ejection were definitely legit.

The QB is Bobby Hebert's kid.  He didn't come back in, but they said he could have.  I'm not sure I buy that.

I wonder if Mitchell gets additional punishment from the conference?

[Berkut]

Easy call.

I wonder when players are going to figure this shit out.

To be fair, I suppose most of them have.

New rule this year (would not apply to this play):

*Any* contact above the shoulders to a defenseless play is an automatic disqaulification. No judgement involved. Also, a QB after a change of possession is now defined as a defenseless player.

If it happens in the second half, the player is out for the first half of the next game as well, subject to review by the NCAA coordinator of officials.

When in doubt, throw them out!

Not that there was any question on the Mitchell play.

Do they use video replay to check ejections on that rule too?  Or just the Targeting one?

Yes.

They will review the play on video.

[CountDeMoney]

Looks like he was already beginning to slide.
Granted, the defensive player may have thought it would be tight, but these DBs need to be anticipating the slide.

But just the ejection, the penalty can't be changed by video replay right?

How do they judge intent by replay?  I doubt they would ever overturn an ejection.  Hopefully I am wrong.

Oh for sure.  I was watching it at full speed and biased.  As soon as I watched it a second time I knew it was a bad hit.

Huskies are actually playing a real team and winning unlike some of our other PAC-12 Brethren.

[sbr]

Just saw Johnny manziel's antics frim earlier.   What a douche bag, I'm afraid I may have to start rooting for an injury.

[CountDeMoney]

Yeah, he's accelerated to Douchebag quite nicely.

[grumbler]

Wyoming looked pretty good against a decent Husker offense, and looked more than good against a woeful Husker defense.

The Big Ten is gonna suck again this year, methinks.  Even the anointed-NCG-participant Buckeyes looked very beatable.

[Berkut]

Yeah, Buffalo didn't look completely inept against them. And from what I know about Buffalo, that is not a good sign.
