What are people's thought on Price as a professional? I watched him earlier in the season and was impressed. Don't think I've watched them since the Stanford game.

both teams are on the same sideline? What the fuck is up with that?

Shame on Minnesota for not beating a mediocre Syracuse team. I would have lost my left nut on this had I been wagering.

The B1G off to a bad start thanks to the Gophers. Might as well toss in the Maryland loss.

We'll see how Rutgers fares against the Domers and I like Michigan's chances against K-State today.

They always are at this game, the way they have to shoehorn the field into that baseball specific stadium leaves no room on the one side. They had to do it the few years there was a Seattle Bowl at Safeco too.

Some of the stadiums with more foul grounds/different layouts (Yankee Stadium) they can still get teams on opposite sides.

Fortunately this game is going to move to the new 49ers stadium next year.

This field is absolutely terrible, no one can stay on their feet at Yankee Stadium. It's like someone greased the field

Watching ND football anymore is like watching one of the service academies...you remember the history but know its never going to be competitive with top programs again.

So glad this is the last time I have to see Tommy Rees in a Notre Dame uniform. Dude straight sucks.

That being said, Golson and Folston in the backfield next year for the Irish makes me very excited. Those two together could be really special.

Another ridiculous targeting call.

I somewhat agree. The fact that he was hit in the head was incidental because as the receiver was coming down the dude making the tackle just barely clipped his head, he wasn't aiming there at all, he was aiming t the chest.

He did drill him with the crown of his helmet though, no denying that part.

Looked like shoulder to chest to me, with incidental helmet contact.

Unrelated note, pretty sure Rod Gilmore is my least favorite commentator in any sport. Worse than Pam Ward and the 7 other female announcers that sound exactly like her on ESPN.

Ha get ready for it in high school next season, I received the NFHS questionnaire about future rule changes and about 5 were about targeting and defenseless player. I do not look forward to officiating games with that rule and do not envy NCAA refs who have to make those calls with much bigger and faster players

Fortunately I'm 24 years old and living north of the Mason-Dixon, so IDGAF about high school footbaw.

Not sure which game the B1G will win. Maybe Nebraska or Ohio State...

I like both of them (only because Aaron Murray is out), + possibly Wisconsin. I've never trusted Connor Shaw, as ridiculous as that is given his numbers this year.

I said B1G would go 2-5, that might be optimistic at this point.

If UGA's young QB is as good as they think, that's really a mismatch anyway. I know Georgia has gotten a lot of crap on this board, but they are a far better team than Nebraska...

I'll still take UGA, but the QB is such a big factor that I could see it going the other way.

The Big 10 is nothing but a souped up version of the MAC conference at this point.

The decline of the conference has been breath taking in how quickly it's happened.
