Red November

Courtney Grixby came threw big time. This was his breakout game.

Baylor Head Coach Guy Morriss On Nebraska's defensive line "That was the difference in the game. They have a few more horses than we do. That was by far the best defense we've seen all year. We knew they would test us and they got to us." "We knew defensively they were good, but the last couple of weeks their offense was starting to come alive." "We were trying to throw from the pocket and we were just getting overpowered."

Have you tried the Alumni Center...I think it's called the Wick.

Okay, apparently they don't like the Mike Stuntz stunt... link.

video game Is USC best ever? Video game says no 2001 Miami squad wins all-time tournament By Michael Rothstein The Journal Gazette It’s been mentioned, that this year’s USC team might be the best of all time. Comparing this year’s team with, say, the 1971 Nebraska squad or the 1945 Army outfit is near impossible. “I don’t even know how to go about that,” former Texas coach Darrell Royal said. “Those best teams of all time will never play each other. That’s the way to decide who’s best. It’s about the only way I know.” Well, thanks to innovations in technology with an assist from EA Sports’ “NCAA Football 2006,” The Journal Gazette took a shot. We selected 15 legendary teams already in the game and mixed them into a randomly selected tournament draw with this year’s USC squad. Games were played at randomly selected home sites until the final, which was played at the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. The teams selected represent every decade from the 1940s until this season. The teams: Army 1945; Notre Dame 1947; Michigan 1947; Oklahoma 1956 and 1974; Syracuse 1959; Alabama 1961; Nebraska 1971 and 1995; USC 1972 and 2005; Miami 1986 and 2001; Penn State 1994 and Florida State 1999. Below is how the tournament played out. There is legitimacy in this, too. The EA Sports “Madden Football” franchise plays the Super Bowl every season the week before the game. It has correctly predicted the winner the past eight years. First round Texas 1969 at Army 1945 The Black Knights represented the old-timers well, spending most of the game running down the clock to gain 257 yards of offense in the 17-7 win over the Longhorns. Notre Dame 1947 at Penn State 1994 Penn State picked off a Johnny Lujack pass with 2:12 remaining to seal the 21-11 win. PSU running back Ki-Jana Carter rushed for 129 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown. Alabama 1961 at Florida State 1999 Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke had better days. He threw four interceptions and was replaced in the third quarter during the Crimson Tide’s 28-14 win. Nebraska 1995 at Nebraska 1971 Freshman running back Ahman Green exploded for 237 yards and four touchdowns in the Nebraska option offense, leading the 1995 Cornhuskers to a 49-10 win. USC 2005 at Syracuse 1959 Junior tailback Reggie Bush accounted for 163 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns, leading the Trojans to a 38-3 win. Syracuse running back Ernie Davis had 133 yards on 24 carries. Oklahoma 1956 at Miami 1986 Miami running back Alonzo Highsmith gained 96 yards on 14 carries and scored two touchdowns, leading the Hurricanes to a 31-7 win. Oklahoma 1974 at Michigan 1947 Michigan left end Bob Mann had four tackles, including three for a loss and two sacks in the Wolverines’ 17-14 win. USC 1972 at Miami 2001 Miami quarterback Ken Dorsey went 9 of 12 for 189 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Hurricanes to a 49-10 win. Quarterfinals Army 1945 at Penn State 1994 Quarterback Kerry Collins went 13 of 18 for 107 yards and two scores, leading the Nittany Lions to a 28-7 win. Alabama 1961 at Nebraska 1995 Green continued his run through the tournament, gaining 133 yards and scoring three touchdowns in Nebraska’s 38-13 win. Quarterback Tommie Frazier added 146 yards on the ground and two scores. USC 2005 at Miami 1986 USC’s sluggish first halves in real life carried over to the virtual world – and this time, the Trojans couldn’t rally. Miami, led by 276 yards and three touchdowns from quarterback Vinny Testaverde, jumped out a 24-0 lead on USC and held on for a 27-22 win, eliminating the Trojans from contention. USC quarterback Matt Leinart threw for 188 yards and two scores. “Their defense isn’t as good as it used to be,” said former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer, who helmed the 1974 Sooners, of USC. “They probably aren’t as good on defense. They are a talented football team.” Michigan 1947 at Miami 2001 Running back Clinton Portis gained 129 yards on eight carries with one score, leading the Hurricanes to a 35-0 win. “Some of the old timers might be offended but they have to understand personnel now,” former Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian said. “You have 250-pound guys who can run the ball. The difference between skill positions is dramatic.” Semifinals Penn State 1994 at Nebraska 1995 Frazier helped Nebraska roll, gaining 176 yards on 13 carries and rushing for three touchdowns to lead the Cornhuskers to a 45-7 win and a berth in the all-time title game. Miami 1986 at Miami 2001 Portis rushed nine times for 109 yards and three touchdowns, leading the 2001 Hurricanes to a 31-0 win over their 1986 brethren. Final Nebraska 1995 vs. Miami 2001 at the Fiesta Bowl Fullback Najeh Davenport caught a 5-yard pass from Dorsey in the second overtime, lifting the Hurricanes to a 41-38 win. It was the last of four TD tosses by Dorsey. Miami came back from a 28-7 deficit to start the fourth quarter and survived a fourth-straight eye-popping performance from Green – 26 carries for 214 yards and five touchdowns. NOTE: Because of NCAA regulations, “EA Sports NCAA Football 2006” doesn’t use play ers’ names. The Journal Gazette researched the players on those teams for this story.

Good Baylor page to go to . www.Baylorfans.com? Be respectful and have fun.

BaylorFans.com Some funny stuff. Somewhere along the line they forgot they are Baylor. I'll remind them Just a friendly jab

well if he likes what TO did with Crouch, he would've loved what Devaney did with Rozier! Frank being the head coach during Crouch's 4 years was really just a technicality; TO recruited Crouch and POOF, he's a Heisman winner. Way to go Tom! honestly, HOW does a writer from KC- or from anywhere in the college football landscape- not know who the head coach at NU was when Crouch won the Heisman in 2001?! FOUR years after TO retired. Man that's poor journalism.

You don't say. WHat other programs do that??

Good stuff, thanks for the link.

Thanks for posting this. Very helpful. I think I'm going to drive to Petersburg, NE to see the OSU/Mich St. game.

How far of a drive is it to Waco from Omaha?? What's there to do in Waco? Good Bars?

I like Touchdown Tommie's prediction NU 45 BU 10 pass 327 rush 167

How it be? We have a lot of Texas folk on board.

We gotta chance??

I'm not even worried. He's ours for the taking.

Floks, I'm not sure what you expect, the team was 5-6 without much coming back, we have got to earn it. If we beat Tech, were ranked, we lost were not ranked...that simple. Gotta agree, the world is pretty happy were down for being up for so long. Just gottaa keep plugging away.

Baylor will embarrass themselves this week. They shot it last week.

Callahan has a good reason to let him play/\.

Cool, neat template that guy has.

By the way, the greatest band in America sold the Qwest out faster than the Rolling Stones and Paul McCarthy...9 minutes!!!!!

It is now official! Cox has began running their commercials for the PPV. Channel 516, $29.95.

He has committed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
