College Football Bowl Season Discussion Thread (and BG Bowl Pick Em)

you'd be retarded if you don't think the average football fan doesn't find this exciting lol

wait

[Akiyama]

LOL

[Cail]

good grief lol

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah, I really hope the people who found LSU-Alabama boring aren't enjoying this game. This is horrible football.

Both games are "horrible football", it's just that this one is entertaining and LSU/Bama was fucking awful.

Time for Baylor to play prevent, yards might come easier for Washington now.

[Cail]

oh god lol

[archibaldcrane]

Or not. Fucking retard fatboy.

[Tyche]

God dammit Baylor, way to fuck up the scoring record.

[Coren]

This is the most epic football game of the year. Lol at that lineman stealing the ball, staying on his feet, then fumbling. Baylor needs to go score again... go RG3!

Holy shit at the number of yards. 5 TDs and 200yds for the one guy, and over 100 for 2 more RBs, and that doesn't include RG3. And washington is tearing it up too... they're just not baylor.

Retarded fatass ruins any chance UW has, possibly the chance of setting another record.

Good thing, I needed Baylor to cover the spread in my pool. It's about 80% Husky fans, and I picked up a ton of points by them winning by 10 or more.

That said, the game was a little bit anticlimactic.

157.8 for the game, that's gonna make it so

THE GREATEST PASSER RATING SEASON IN NCAA HISTORY BELONGS TO RUSSELL WILSON

(pending the Rose Bowl)

RG3 was at 192.3 coming into this game, after tonight he'll fall to 189.5. That's still ahead of Colt McCoy's 186.0, but falls behind Russell Wilson's current 191.6.

already assuming Wilson will have a spectacular game against Oregon? Don't know how much better he will fare than Luck did against them. If anyone on Wisconsin has a fantastic game against Oregon, out of necessity it should be Ball.

I clicked over to ESPN.com, had no idea BYU and Tulsa were already going at it. It's weird that there's a football game going at 9am on a Friday.

No, just pointing out that Wilson qualifies for the season record and currently holds it. I expect a heavy rushing attack on Monday as well, but since passer rating is a rate-stat, that doesn't necessarily hurt Wilson at all. If he can chuck a couple TDs and not throw a pick he should be golden unless they're throwing a shitload.

[archibaldcrane]

Besides, Andrew Luck isn't even top-5 in passer rating on the season, much less in NCAA history, and has thrown at least one INT in each of his last 5 games, including 2 vs. Oregon. Not sure why you'd compare him to Wilson, who has only thrown 3 INTs on the YEAR and hasn't thrown one in his past 6 games.

because it's a similar power running offense, but at least Wisc has some good receivers. Just saying, if Oregon can spring on them early Wisc will have to throw a lot, and Wilson will have more opportunities to make a mistake. Stanford and LSU were the closest styled offense to Wisconsin that Oregon played all year (except LSU doesn't have a good QB), so that's why I made that reference.

[archibaldcrane]

Sure, but my point is that Russell Wilson rarely throws a ton, he's never thrown more than 32 passes in a game this season. Wisconsin's running game is so good that pounding the rock predominantly is the best way for them to score, regardless of game situation. Sure if they're down 3 scores in the 4th and need to speed up their possessions so they get more of them it could get interesting, but it's just not their game.
