I like Nebraska. Suh has a huge game and the rest of his defense shows up to play too

I've got Nebraska because I enjoy seeing the PAC 10 lose. It would be better if they were to beat a California team, but Arizona is right next door. Close enough!

Really? Cuz if the officials would have called the game correctly (i.e. not putting one second back on the clock when it ran off), he would have basically beaten Texas by himself.

The officials got that situation right.

The officials did get it right. The clock doesn't stop until the ball hits something. The ball hit the ground out of bounds with 1 second left. Maybe Nebraska shouldn't have kicked the ball out of bounds after the FG to go ahead

An extra second or two ticks off nearly every play. Never are those :01 seconds put back on the clock or even reviewed. Unless it is the last play of the conference championship game where your conference officials and board members realize that they now don't have a national title shot if the game is over. There are no tenths of a second. When the clock hits :01, it is actually somewhere in between :00 and :01. So when the operator stops it, the clock will automatically run out.

There was time left when the ball hit the ground in the endzone when Miami and FSU played at the beginning of the season. Game Over. The TAMU vs. Georgia bowl game had a similar situation in the first half. They lost 3 or 4 seconds because the operator didn't stop the clock and they never got them back to attempt a FG.

Their argument is legit. If you are going to review time at the end of one play you have to do it for every play. Can you say 8 hour games?

No tenths of a second? Certainly looked like there were in the Independence Bowl the other night...

The Big XII did not have a job in for Nebraska. They reviewed it, the clocked showed :01 when the official blew his whistle

Exactly. You can't review a one, isolated situation to put 1 second back on the clock so the team driving can get one last play (a FG attempt) in, when seconds run off the clock after EVERY play in the game that aren't put back on. All those games mentioned above had the exact same situation either right before halftime, or right before the end of the game, and when the clock runs out, the game's over. It works the same way in the NFL. Except in that one game, apparently.

I was surprised James wanted to talk about Leach. Didn't bash him at all, very calm and respectful of the situation.

This game might be over already. I can't see Arizona putting up 17 on Nebraska's D the way they finished the season/started this game. Arizona's offense is adequate, but they're not going against a slouch of defense.

PAC10 has looked like shit tbh.

USC obviously gets their W against a good opponent in BC. But UCLA has to come back on TEMPLE while Utah, Cal, and now Arizona are getting crushed.

Hard to tell if they look terrible or Nebraska's defense is that good. I don't think Nebraska has blitzed one time. Getting good pressure with the front four while the receivers are blanketed by the rest. Nothing going, running or passing.

I know the guy is good...but I've been watching the game for 3 minutes and I have heard Suh's name probably 25 times...He just got called for a late hit on the QB and they were like...oh he's just so strong he can't help it. haha...C'mon guys

Uh Oh..Suh just missed a tackle as I was typing this...He must have been too quick and strong to make the tackle...They just compared him to Reggie White!...This guy has some big shoes to fill!

OSU should win. Their Defense is too good.

Arizona scored 41 points on Oregon, 43 points on Stanford, 37 points on Oregon State, 33 points on Washington....................19 points on Central Michigan, 17 points on Iowa, and 0 on Nebraska.

Pac-10 is definitely not where the defense is at. OSU should win handily over Oregon.

Luckily, they didn't get as tough a game in LA, so they didn't have to cheat there.
