You don't think USC called off the dogs in the 2nd half as a show of respect to Joe Paterno?

Utah was very impressive, but so was USC.

Unfortunately, and I strongly believe that either a 16 team or a 8 team playoff would be the solution.

Now, multiply that by 8+ years.

I don't even think I can begin to describe how annoying it is during college football season, so maybe you'll get the pleasure of their presence afterall.

At least you weren't around when people were clamoring for Chase Daniel to be the Chiefs top draft choice.

Though I'm sure a few of those oxygen thieves will make their way into the draft discussions.

I'll give you this:

Your Buckeyes played much closer to Texas than ANYONE outside the state of Ohio thought they would.

Props for the effort.

How about the guy who thinks Oklahoma runs a pro style offense....and I bet I could find you people that think Colt McCoy is the best QB prospect in college.

Those two I agree with you. Whoever said that Oklahoma runs a pro-style offense? That's crazy. That's a spread offense.

Well, I wouldn't say McCoy is the best QB prospect, but he is up there. He did put up solid numbers, and he has the "it" factor, as it was demonstrated today. The issue with him is his injuries, and his small frame.

And his gimmick offense....the entire Big 12 there is nothing even close to resembling pro style.

I'm a Buckeye fan, but let's be real here. The Buckeyes were supposed to get crushed tonight and actually played one hell of a game. They were a missed tackle away at the end from maybe pulling it off. Not bad with a Freshman QB against one of the best QBs in the country. Hopefully this leads to the Bucks finally firing their offensive coordinator. But this was a lot closer a game than I expected.

The Big 10 took a pretty big hit this year. But this game was much better than a lot of people thought it would be.

It was either lil Stumpy or Roy Jr. that insisted OU runs a pro-style offense.

Come on now, Dane. How many people ever said that? Can you name one?

It's silly now, and it was at the height of his college career. Not even the biggest Mizzou homers on this board were saying that... (as far as I remember, anyway)

I've never heard a good reason why it's not the solution for college football.

While true, Colt Brennan did run a gimmick offense as well. Just throwin that out there, and he looked pretty decent during pre-season. Yes, I know, it's pre-season, but the transition can be done if given the patience and proper coaching.

lil Stumpy

They just showed Bennett on the local news regarding some Ihop to-do.

Mainly its KU and OU fans that get pissy if you talk down on the Big 12.
