Glad to see Auburn pull this one out. One of my good friends goes to Auburn and she is crazy about football. I had to call her up today to yell War Eagle to her. Let's just say our bowl game last year was interesting.

He played just as well, if not better than all of the other RB Heisman Candidates.

Darren McFadden | Rush: 24/151 1TD | Rec: 2/30

Mike Hart | Rush: 23/188 3TD

Ian Johnson | Rush: 18/128 3TD | Rec: 1/11

Ray Rice | Rush: 25/184 3TD | Rec: 2/21

Marlon Lucky | Rush: 30/229 3TD | Rec: 3/33 1TD

WOW, did I mention how amazing 6 touchbacks is....IN ONE GAME!!!!

Not to mention that they moved the kick off spot back to the 30 from the 35. Not many kickers last year could have put six in the end zone let alone from the 30.

- Matt

Absolutely. The O-line made the difference.

- Matt

how bout a student? surely a student on here could fill us in..

I thought I knew it, but I am wrong. I'll ask a couple of friends to see if they know.

- Primo

Would I be wrong in saying that Nevada is better than Illinois ... ?

Not at all. Illinois is not good. They will not make a bowl game this year. Nevada on the other hand should.

- Matt

It's something the students started a couple of years ago for some reason.

It's pretty cool. I haven't seen it done anywhere else, but I could be wrong. My dad and I started doing it at home as well since my sister's boyfriend introduced us to it.

- Matt

yea the game isnt on at the apartment its wake/BC so i am using gamecast on ESPN and it is really f'd up....it just said Joe ganz passed to Larry Asante is that true??

I switched over to cbs sportsline game tracker a while ago when the ESPN one just wasn't anywhere near updated.

- Matt

did Joe Ganz quite the team.....why is sullivan in if he didnt??

Joe was out there for a while. 1/1 19 yards. Mostly we have been running the ball at this point.

- Matt

Wow Joba's dad is an usher for us. Joba hopefully will do great down the road in his carrer. Yankee fan here for those that don't know.

Yankee fan here as well. Joba is going to be fantastic for us.

- Matt

That did not look like a hold to me.

Announcers said the same thing.

- Matt

whats with the fans holding up shoes in the stands?

They do it for the kickoff. My dad and I do it here at home as well.

- Matt

I'm not sure if that shouldn't have been a turnover. I think we got lucky on that one.

- Matt

I'm just sitting here waiting for our coverage to begin on GamePlan.

- Matt

The USC game should be nationally televised I believe.

- Matt

I really need a time warp. Let's get to 3:30 already.

- Matt

I just went out last week and picked up a 50" DLP HDTV. It was real cheap. I'm hoping that the USC game is broadcast in HD.

- Matt

I'm in albany as well

It is too bad you guys aren't two hours west on the Thruway. Here in Syracuse I'm getting amped for the game myself. I'm over at my parents for the game. My dad bought ESPN GamePlan today so that we could watch the game.

- Matt

Did they ever have a helmet with a orange on it?

Ha! You know it might look better than that block S that we have going on there. I liked the numbers on the helmets because it was old school. Brought me back to the days of Jim Brown and Ernie Davis.

- Matt

I'm surprised that he has Syracuse at #3 on that list. Most people think that our new threads are awful. Personally, I like them, but then they went and changed the helmets to remove the numbers on them and put a big Block S. Looks pretty awful if you ask me.

- Matt

24-21 we will take it. It is going to be close.

I'm just stoked about getting some free tickets for the game. Only 6 more days before I head down to Raleigh!

- Matt

They have hosted a couple of the regionals in recent years here in Syracuse at the Carrier Dome and we always go when it is here. Such a great atmosphere to be in.

- Matt

Wow. That is pretty slick.

Reminds me that I still need to make myself a Beirut table.

- Matt

I'm staying with my buddy and his wife in Fayetteville and we are driving up for the game and then heading back down to the Raleigh area after the game.

- Matt

South Florida could actually have a breakout season this year. Their quarterback could be the best in the Big East and they have the best cornerbacks in the state of Florida.
