*35-14
OU may have beat themselves, the sloppiness and turnovers really hurt. Until the unfortunate failure to overturn the lateral call (it was very close, but seemed clear enough to have been slightly forward, almost a yard, I guess the ref's will claim that it wasn't indisputable) the game didn't feel safe, OU seemed to have the better ability to drive at will and better with the mid-range big plays. How many turnovers, 4 or 5?
A shame about the Oregon robbery, else OU would still have a shot at a BCS game (remember they are adding another game starting this year), but they are going to have to play better if they want to win out from here. It nearly cost them against South Florida and finally caught them today.
Saying I called you a POS when I never did? What an odd way to communicate that, by resorting to slander.
OK, I'll settle for 4 seconds. It didn't take Washington 4 seconds to get the snap off, but it did take them 2 and the clock hit zero before the snap. Clock wouldn't have hit zero before the snap if it had been reset to 4, Washington was at the line and waiting by the time the ref had set the ball.
No I called him a POS for him immediately insulting us for questioning the ending of that game. Pay no mind.
Reread my post. I never wrote who posted it, did I? I simply referred to the fact it happened.
How come no one wants to address the fact that 2 seconds was enough time for Washington to get the play off, particularly after such a long pause to sort things out, but they couldn't do it?
Mizzou dominating TTech now, 24-0. Wow!
It explains nothing, I said once to you I want USC to win.
Whether it was four seconds or two seconds doesn't really matter. The stall by the refereees gave Washington ample time to regroup and call a new play based on the field position and personnel on the field.
They CAUGHT A BREAK.
Then they blew it.
You're not going to get any sympathy on this one.
My poll (just me). OSU 1; U Mich 2.
Our polls are close with respect to those teams. I have Michigan #2 and Ohio State #4 as of this post.
I agree with you. Are you a Texas fan? If so, you must be happy today.
I meant it explained the hair trigger to hurl the profanities. It's an old Nebraska tradition. Did you know that the Nebraska fans treated the Notre Dame people so poorly in their trips to Lincoln that Rockne was pressured to drop the Cornhuskers from their schedule? The vile anti Catholic and anti immigrant abuse was just too much to take any longer. The opening allowed a space for SC to get on the Notre Dame schedule and the rest is history.
Hmmm...interesting. Give us your top five.
I know that, but we still beat the vaunted 4 Horseman twice. But 99% of NU fans arent quick to insult(like USC fans), unless they are me and are on a forum. Plus don't you think you are going rather a bit back in time to come up with a cover?
That's disingenous. They were lined up ready to go the ENTIRE time, the QB came over towards the coach while the ref's were conferencing, but he was crouched over the center as the ref finally stepped back and blew the whistle while starting the clock. But there was confusion about when exactly he was blowing the whistle and letting them start and obviously it is far more difficult to get the snap off in 2 seconds versus 4.
The entire issue is about whether the clock should have been stopped at :04 or :02, because if the ref's had gone to the replay and got that correct (replay for clock corrections are done in EVERY sport that uses a clock) the final play would have taken place.
Who is looking for sympathy? I'm just looking for honesty instead of homerism. I guess I overestimated USC fans.
I have a legitimate reason to gripe. My beloved Pokes blew a lead and lost. Why, you ask? Bad calls? NO.
The defense sucked.....:-(
Big time.
Horrible.
Nebraska scores 7-0. I will wait to celebrate until the end of the game.
