Lou Holtz just said ND should have won that game, the other two just laughed at him and pointed out it was 55 to 31. ---

Holy shit 'Bama just turned the ball over on downs after missing a FG from 27 yards! It’s crazy up in here, y’all! ---

Go 'Noles! At least we didn’t need the comeback in the second half to win this week. This week did confirm something for me though. The DC’s gotta go. We have the talent. He sucks at calling a D. No excuse for that kind of talent to be having this kind of season… ---

Wow! After a long run, Utah dude purposely drops the ball thinking he’s crossed the goal line, but he’s at the 1. Oregon picks it up and runs it the other way for TD, pretty entertaining. ---

Does anyone else remember 35 years when there was just one or two college football games per week on TV? Geez, I am getting **Clicker Finger** tonight. Three games on three over the air networks and FSU/UVA and Oregon/Utah on ESPN. ---

WTF Utah? 4th and 3 on your own 22, in the last few minutes of the 1st half… and you try a run for the first down? Do you not like coaching a college football team, At-This-Moment-Still-Coach? ---

ESPN put up a 4:11 clip direct from broadcast; I only saw the play itself earlier. Ddamn! That guy was about to be King of Team Next Big Thing… and he became a billy goat. ---

Well dang it, Ohio State came up here and played one hell of a game. I hope they make the playoff, after a sloppy first half they really played lights out in the second. ---

[ESPN here](http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/video?gameId=400548304); scroll down the clips (they are on the right hand side of the video player window). It’s the first clip of the 2nd quarter; can’t miss it.
