Yep. I wonder how much time Clemson would of had if LSU ran the ball a couple plays when it was 2nd and 2? Clemson would of had to use two timeouts and LSU "might of" gotten a first down. Makes zero sense for Hill not to get a carry. He didnt get a single carry the whole 4th quarter even tho he was averaging 10 yards a carry. Miles has lost more games than the team has since he's been there. Stupid play calling/time management.

Leauxzers State Univ. couldn't beat an ACC team that lost Sammy Watkins on the first play of the game. I missed the 2nd half, but I'm glad Mr. Hat's coaching luck finally caught up with him.

And Purdue with a fake punt from their own 8ish yard line. Picked it up too.

Orlando station was talking to early tailgaters this morning and asked where their seats were. They said "We don't know" They were going to get 'fill in' seats for free from the will call window. #Chitrus bowl #Capital One

NW is supremely outmatched athletically.....good start but they are going to have their hands trying to stay ahead all game.

The future engineers are representing so far.

It really is a huge disparity in academic stature in this game isn't it? MSU is bottom of the barrel.

He's just not an NFL player. With that said, he'll go to the Patriots and win 12 super bowls.

Because they draft Braxton Miller as Tom Brady's replacement

I don't know how the athletic teams are but my daughter did some research on going to NW and she said it looked like they wanted a 30+ on the ACT. #51 for NW is a local kid that plays on kickoff coverage and he had a 31 ACT, class valedictorian and is in engineering at NW.

I know when I was a teenager NW never ever won and it was due to the difficult academic standards.

I'm interested in how many are like our two examples. Stanford the same way?....or do they just have way more brainiacs than most but still have ample athletic studs that get the 18-21's

Yeah....it's just hard to believe the Stanford's and Northwestern's are all academic leaders and competing with the schools that find ways to get their kids eligible to even enter their university.

I would like to see Stanford, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, & Duke all play each other each year.

Did Miss St John Banks get back into the game? I think he was a top 10 pick before he did something to his knee.
