They have dominated.

I should of added Cal, MSU, UAB and UCF who you guys struggles against too. Your luck will end soon. Just be thankful you have no ranked teams on your schedule. Unlike LSU who plays 5 ranked teams (3 top 10 teams) in a row.

How original.

No Towson either. Don't forget that!!!

Not sure Shaw can get them 2 TD's against UF's D though. Big trouble.

Its LSU style of football. And its worked pretty well for years. But, I have to say.....this offense is awful. And I would trade it with probably 75 other teams. Our defense is one of the best, and they are whats carrying the team.

Carolina just got a monster break. Another fumbled kick, UF returns for a TD. Knee called down...

Didn't matter. This one is in the books. Not sure anyone can stop Florida. UF/FSU is going to be a monster game on 11/24...

I think FSU will beat UF. UF's defense is pretty stout, but I dont think UF will be able to match FSU in scoring. Looking forward to that game.

The game hasn't meant much in 5 years. This year, it may be 2 top 5 teams going at it, BCS implications for sure. The schedule is tougher for FSU as they play at VT and at Maryland before the UF game...

FLA
- vs Missouri, vs Louisiana-Lafayette, vs Jacksonville State

Assuming they win in Jacksonville against UGA, which is always a wild game, they essentially have 3 weeks to really prepare for the Noles.

That might be the worst half of football I've ever seen. Florida has 30 yards of offense and leads by 18 points.

Yeah this is terrible

I'm so sick of "big" SEC games. They always disappoint. Sure, good defenses. But good god this is terrible.

Anyone else getting Nebraska/Northwestern on both ABC and ESPN2? It would be nice to get TCU/TT without having to watch on ESPN3...

I guess it depends what you call "big." Outside of the Big XII and maybe some Pac 12, entertainment usually isn't the top priority. In-terms of elite talent, you have the SEC a clear leader and the B1G right there when you talk about NFL players.

SEC teams generally get ranked a bit higher than what they probably should be...not being an SEC hater, just my opinion.

So every week you get these "huge" games between top 5 teams. They're never actually good. Just a bunch of 13-6 games with 8 combined turnovers.

From a pure entertainment perspective, I'm watching something else (I've been watching ND/BYU more than USC/UF).

Did the guy ask him how a "top 5 team" averages 1.1 yards per play over an entire half?

You're correct, can't disagree. We hear the same thing over and over yet Big XII and Pac 12 teams who excite everyone tend to not be able to complete the job. Every year you can name a team from either of those 2 leagues who were never able to make it an unbeaten year. Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oklahoma and USC all over the last 5 years.

Almost every college game I watch makes me wonder how there aren't any better announcers available. Gary Danielson is really just unbearable. It's a shame that the best conference in the country is stuck with him every week.

With all of the games on TV, there are only so many announcers to go around

Right, and the pool they have to choose from in the first place is an embarrassment. How many broadcasting majors are there in this country annually?

They give half of the jobs to former players, so you'd think the "qualified" broadcasters they pick would actually be qualified.

Impressive late comebacks by TCU (down 10 with 4 minutes left) and Nebraska (down 12 with 7 minutes left). TCU/TT tied at 36, going to OT. Huskers up 1.
