#1 Southern Cal 21, Oregon St. 27 (Final)

I'm pretty confused with the lovefest for Mark Sanchez. He's a good QB, but they're trying to throw him into the Heisman race already, and he doesn't have Heisman-like numbers.

SAnchez with a terrible pass, WR was short of first down anyway.

Hit that WR standing up, in stride, and he's got a fighting chance at a first down.

I've only seen the last two USC drives but what were they thinking with the 3rd down playcalling?

Sarkisian mystifies me sometimes. He can string together a couple of fantastic series then follow them up immediately with boneheaded playcalling.

Yep. Gotta throw past the sticks on the third down if you want to convert!

Tick Tick Tick!!!!

"Wadding effect..."

"Dancing to the daylight..."

WTF with all these technical terms?

I think a lot of the Heisman talk deals with the fact that he has looked to be the offensive centerpiece for the team people have perceived to be the best team in the country. I feel like that person is in the race by default every year.

Ahhh! Don't try to get cute this late in the game! Keep milking the clock!

1 half of football (after a bad first) gets you all-american honors of the week?

Jarrett Lee for P.O.W?!?! Who's doing the voting? Wait.....nevermind...:(

 

[sepia5]

Unbelievably bad play calling.

Only if you're in the SEC.

All the speed of those voters.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]
