Not a whole lot to pick from, outside of the Big 10 and SEC, so lets get this over and done with, k?
Michigan, again, are your mayors.
You may ask yourself, “why does this author mercilessly pick on the Wolverines when they were facing a superior team on the road?”
First…NEVER question Michigan hate. They’re the antithesis of everything that makes college football great. Their fans don’t cheer. They’ve thoroughly shat on a century’s worth of tradition in a mere two years. They have a QB who’s not only unrootable for in football, he’s unrootable for in life. Their new uniforms look like straight shit, which considering how iconic they are, is no easy feet. And finally, their coach is the biggest swindler, douchebag in a fraternity that includes Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban and Urban Meyer.
Second…Iowa isn’t really all that great, and Michigan SHOULD’VE won based not on talent, but based on the fact that Iowa is completely incapable of putting an inferior team away. But in typical Michigan form, they decided to poop on themselves and then roll around in the mess, giving the ball away numerous times and letting yet another Ohioan, Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi (Clevelander ftw!!!) wreck their weekend.
Was it taking out a QB who had led three fourth quarter comeback drives in…the fourth quarter? Was it the sheer abomination that was Rich Rod’s “game plan?” Was it the fact that there isn’t a single NFL caliber lineman on the team outside of Brandon Graham, who will no doubt make his coin as a LINEBACKER, rather than the 3-4 END they have him playing as now?
Yes. All of that.
This is a garbage team that shouldn’t be compared to BCS teams, rather, they should be looked at as a displaced MAC powerhouse.
The other fraud from the Big 10? Wisconsin.
Boasting one of the nation’s best OL’s and a balanced offensive attack that was the king of the Big 10 ranks, Wisconsin faced the first legitimate defense of their 2009 season, and despite having an impressive first drive, and a commendable 42+ minutes of possession, lost by 18 to a team that had/has no offensive punch whatsoever.
Against Ohio State, Wisconsin had THREE drives that lasted longer than eight minutes. How many points did they get from those drives? Three…coupled with two INT’s returned for TD’s. In the second half, the Badgers had the ball for the first 12+ minutes…and Ohio State scored twice despite never snapping the ball on offense.
And that vaunted OL? Well, they’re still good, but when the defense takes away everything you do well and you’re left to throw the ball downfield facing a DL that goes eight-deep with guys who list “QB Blood” as their drink of choice, you’re basically fucked.
Terrelle Pryor is a citizen of Fraud City, for the record.
And the last entrant…Georgia, yet again.
JONATHAN CROMPTON threw for over 300 yards and had three TD’s. JONATHAN CROMPTON.
If you have ever seen JONATHAN CROMPTON play you realize that I’m not capitalizing his name out of respect for his amazing game. No, I’m capitalizing it because he’s one of the worst QB’s to start for a BCS school in recent memory. Georgia is a steaming pile of garbage right now, and getting waxed by a relative afterthought like Tennessee, who lost to UCLA this year, is just simply the deficated cherry on top of a poop sundae.
Ole Miss, Auburn and LSU could deserve a mention too, but people were expecting letdowns so…
Until next week…
This is horrible.
How can you be a fraud if you were expected to lose?
i think you’ve said that every time this post series has ran.
you can be a fraud when you SHOULD’VE won, but didn’t because your players and coach suck.
lets not pretend like iowa is some world beater. they’re average, no better than michigan. expected? maybe if you buy into iowa’s win over a lame PSU team, but not if you consider the fact they nearly got beaten by fucking northern iowa and have nothing but freshman RB’s and no WR’s worht a shit. that was a pathetic game by michigan.
proud of you.
world beater? no. best or second best in the big ten? yes.
That’s because it is the same post every week.
iowa won’t stay within two scores of OSU when they meet in columbus.
michigan and iowa are relatively even teams. they’re both mediocre.
the entire big 10 is mediocre.
paris…just the michigan part. then again, if they would have the decency to flat out suck and just leave the public consciousness, i wouldn’t have to rail on them. but they’re just such easy pickings.
but i guess you’re right seeing as georgia has been on there every week too.
sparty…OSU at least has an elite defense and special teams unit. but otherwise, i agree.
Wisconsin dominated that game and yet got blown out. They suck.
looking forward to them playing against Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
Almost as good as Washington.
/scoreboard’d
Spencer, I was going to make a Pryor comment, but I see you beat me to it. At least you added that part.
triston…dominated? because they had the ball 42 minutes?
i guess you can say dominated, but when tozien was hit at least 20 times, sacked 6, threw two picks for TD’s, and when john clay averages 3 ypc on 20 carries, i don’t really think the word “dominated” comes into play.
but the OSU offense IS terrible. i’ll gladly acquiesce that.
No. Because they doubled up OSU in yards (368 to 184),and had 14 more first downs.
besides a 6 minute period in the 3rd quarter, Arkansas dominated that game. although i don’t think many people had auburn in the “elite” status anyways.
they doubled up the bucks in time of possession too. so SHOCK!!! they had double the production.
did you watch the game? it was never close. the one TD wisky got was on a gift-wrapped TP INT that got them to the 10, and even then, they needed a fake FG to get it in.
Wha??? OSU didn’t break it open until the 3rd quarter when they took a pick-6 and a Kickoff. Wisconsin gave the game away. Don’t pretend like this was some kind of fantastic defensive effort by OSU. The first pick was while Wisky was driving and about to score. Game could have easily been 17-7 at half instead of 10-14. They moved the ball fairly well but just couldn’t capitalize.
he has finally given into the fraudiness of pryor. he isn’t going to give in anymore than that this week.
by the end of the game, and considering how long they were on the field, against a damn fine OL and RB, id say yes, that was a fantastic defensive effort by OSU. why? because instead of scoring on those long drives, OSU actually got points TD’s, instead of the FG’s wisky probably would’ve got.
moving the ball fairly well means getting more than 5 yards per play. TOP means jack shit if you just sputter around in circles the entire game.
nice try though.
sparty…how cute of you to talk about OSU’s shortcomings. wake me when the buckeyes lose to central michigan and then we’ll talk.
did i talk about their shortcomings? and because my team loses a game, one of which i have even made fun of them for doing so, that means i can’t be critical of another team? how very paolo of you, spencer.
sparty…here’s a high hard one for you, bojack.
personally, i think there is Bammer and Florida, and everyone else.
You keep mentioning TOP. I haven’t until now, so maybe you do actually believe it means something. If you want to rely on
your defense gettingopponents throwing pick-6’s all the time, more power to you. But someday you might face a legit QB who knows better. What happens then? Ask Frank Beamer how far all defense and no offense will get you.Where’s Pryor on this? Solid stat line, bud.
Why u hatin
clown- just waiting to see them in the Oklahoma game, especially with Bradford back. they handle them like last year, then yeah. just haven’t seemed to play that great, yet.
Missouri should have been on here too. Especially Blaine Gabbert.
Kansas as well, way to struggle with Iowa State at home.
it DOES mean something…it means they had the ball twice as long as OSU. of COURSE there’s a chance to get more production when you have the ball 2x as long.
then again, it doesn’t mean dick if you don’t get points out of it, which wisky didn’t. so if you want to say “dominated” because of the box score, by all means, that’s your prerogative. but if you watched the game, i don’t know how you could honestly say that.
two problems with this…
1. what legit QB is there in the b10?
2. what legit QB has an OL good enough to match up with OSU’s DL?
again, look at the QB pressures. six sacks. tolzien was on his ass all day, and tht was behind one of the better units in the country. OSU’s DL shredded them. OSU’s DL shredded USC’s OL, which is the best in the country.
florida has the talent to get by that, and mccoy is too quick of a trigger to take a lot of sacks, but ive never said this buckeye team is in that discussion.
so basically, what im saying is that i’m more than comfortable relying on OSU’s defense to get big plays. what’s the worst thing that could happen? we don’t get a BCS bowl game in a rebuilding year? OH NOES!!!
But nobody outside of missouri actually thought they were good. Gabby gift wrapped that game to Nebraska.
Kansas’ defense is fucking horrible. And sadly, there will be no changes after the season in regards to defensive staff.
I’ll admit it Triston, not too worried about you guys anymore. Looking more towards the Oklahoma game.
Spencer, you’re awfully worked up after a WIN. Is it because you don’t believe they earned it?
I’m not saying they didn’t deserve to win. They made the plays when they needed to. But to boast about stopping the almight Wisconsin offense is ridiculous because you didn’t. They take care of the ball and they win that game.
Can’t say that I blame you. But I’ll also admit, that of the teams KU has left on the schedule, only Colorado’s offense scares me less than Nebraska’s.
triston…im worked up because a) you’re egregiously wrong, the wisky offense was impotent and ineffective and b) despite beating a previously undefeated team, im scared shitless about how bad the offense looks and realize that TP is probably not as good as advertised.
They didn’t blow up the scoreboard but they moved the ball.
moving the ball doesn’t mean jack shit. they were flailing in quicksand. outside of the fake FG, they never came close to getting in the endzone.
Not suprised to hear that from the guy who’s team only got 184 yards.
you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that from the guy who realized that wisky never got beyond the 30 yard line. but yea, they totally could’ve blown the game wide open. yay pointless yards!!!
Would rather have 368 of them instead of only 184 pointless yards.
When everybody talks about how bad Colorado is all week, it’s really hard to go out there and take them serious,” Texas coach Mack Brown said
Uhhh, isn’t that your job Mack?
which offense actually got in the endzone? oh, right, the one that got 184 yards.
cbh…mack is an idiot. you shouldn’t be surprised by such a retarded quote.
triston…one more thing. i love how you say that you’d rather have the 368 yard offense over the 184 offense even though they produced the exact same yardage considering wisky had the ball 2x as long.
do you just not understand that or are you jus ttrying to piss me off?
i need a smoke.
Wisky got in the end zone. Even if it was a fake. Such a vaunted defense should have stopped that.
I’m not trying to piss you off. I realize the 2x TOP = 2x ypg. But you’re claiming OSU’s defense completely shut down Wisconsin when they didn’t. If they did, Wisconsin wouldn’t have had so many yards or TOP. OSU would have made them punt instead of allowing them to drive the field and throw picks/ miss field goals.
im sure OSU would’ve had more TOP if the offense wasn’t absolutely, eye blisteringly atrocious. OSU almost had as many sacks as first downs (6 to 8).
wisky wouldn’t have had so much TOP if the OSU offense was better, which they aren’t.
defense doesn’t stop special teams. boo on that.
