Apparently the coach forgot he could go for two, because he was insisting in the post game pressed that they needed to score twice.

my mistake, I didn't watch the game I looked at the box score and saw they kicked a short FG late in the game down 11.

edit: good stuff in that article

Ferentz was using sound strategy if he was down nine, or ten, or even eleven points, in which a successful field goal could reduce Wisconsin's lead to a single score. Ferentz was using sound strategy if the two-point conversion did not exist in college football, which would make this a two-possession game. But Ferentz does not live in those worlds. He lives in this one, where a touchdown and two-point conversion would have tied the game without a second possession. This is not typical Ferentz conservative philosophy. This is no philosophy at all. This is kicking field goals without thought. This is cro-magnon football nihlism.

It was stunning to hear him answer that same question twice.

[HandoEX]

Congrats Slick Vic and the Nittany Lions!

Lamar Lackson is nuts! Already holds the Louisville single-season record for touchdowns! Damn!

[HerdBoy]

WYO 21 - Nevada 13. Halftime. Brian Hill 152 yards rushing at halftime.

[natstar1]

over 1,700 yards of total offense in the Oklahoma/Texas Tech game.

I'm not sure it is always sound strategy to take the FG down, 9, 10 , 11. Probably depends how close to the endzone you are? How long the 4th down is?

In his defense, he could have taken a knee.

Wheels falling off the Houston wagon

I'm not starting a new thread. But the Ohio state unis tonight make the whole team look like their mascot Brutus.

Good to see Armstrong walking back in. Looked pretty serious when he slammed headfirst into the turf.

I am glad he's ok...but that was pretty scary. How is he back on the sideline 45 mins later? Is it just me or does that seem weird? If it's neck or he list consciousnesshe aint leaving hospital that quick. I f it's concussion....they prob don't want him up and around that quick.

Yeah not sure how the protocol works for a neck/head injury as such. Guessing he didn't have a concussion otherwise they'd not let him go back? Must have been some flukey neck thing that the xray/mri (could they do the MRI that quickly??) came back all clear and since he apparently regained all feeling they had no reason to hang on to him.

[natstar1]

Leidner throws a back breaking INT. Probably pushes him down into the early 2nd round.

"Row the Boat" got passed by Boise State for a New Year's Six bowl spot.

Louiville absolutely getting crushed by Houston right now 31-0.

Louiville absolutely getting crushed by Houston right now 31-0.

One thing I found out this week because of this game and the Michigan loss: Louisiville is not pronounced Loo-eee-ville. Apparently it's Loo-a-vul.

[Hammersmith]

Texas/Kansas going to OT.

[Hammersmith]

Kansas going to beat Texas unless they massively screw up.



They didn't screw up.

24-21 Kansas in OT

Breaks 13 game Texas winning streak.

[MNLonghorn10]

Thank god for ndsu

[Hammersmith]

Snow playing havoc with the HD cameras at OK/WVU. Or I should say it's playing havoc with cable compression.

[BisonTeacher]

What a boring slate of games tonight. None are close except the ones on pac12 net but I don't have that channel.

[NDSUstudent]

So Strong is out...Who is next on the list to fix that mess in Austin?

Rumors are Houston coach? Not sure of name.

[MNLonghorn10]

Tom Hermann will probably be the guy.

Dont know what to think of that.
