Notre dame is awful

ND being exposed for the sham that they have been all year.

Ah college football. Today is just reminding me why I stopped watching.

 

[LCPreds]

Oklahoma needs to just put in the subs and hope Bama follows suit.

[AdmiralsFan24]

Maybe don't blow a 14 point lead.

 

[Gnashville]

Andrew Luck is 10-0 all time vs the Titans!!
I will never forgive the Colts for tanking to get him or the Jags coached by Mularkey for scoring late and winning that last game and allowing it to happen. Why the NFL doesn’t have a draft lottery after that is stupid.

Georgia had their chance...hard to blame the committee when UGA lost to LSU and blew another game vs Bama.

ESPN reporting Mariota is out tonight

 

[Armourboy]

Maybe one of these days the committee will realize ND is just UCF but with a storied past and that Oklahoma never shows up for a big game.

ESPN reporting Mariota is out tonight

Just read an article that a spine specialist has told Mariota his condition may be career threatening. Dont have the link because it was a link from the MSN homepage. Sounds like the Titans may have had the decision on Mariotas future decided for them.

 

[LCPreds]

That sucks. Marcus is the kind of guy you want to see do well. He did a great job avoiding your normal run of the mill injury this year only to have some fluke hit that caused a likely 1 in a million type of nerve injury.

Titans are in a bad spot tonight. Massive hype but simply missing too many key pieces on both sides of the ball. I’m expecting a huge disappointment and likely won’t really be that close.

The thing that's gonna suck about the UCF game is without their main QB they're gonna get steamrolled and no one will live it down. They wouldn't be in this position if their QB got hurt in week 4 or something, but here they are anyway. Then of course people will still say they shouldn't be there regardless but if they'll say that, at least say it when their best and most important player doesn't have a shattered leg.

We will see what happens, I've learned to never underestimate a team like this that has something to prove. Especially when the team on the other side has nothing to prove.

Football commentary can get ridiculous. I don’t see how anyone with a brain can read about Marcus’s injury and walk away with ‘McNair would have played!’

Even if he could would you want him too? I mean McNair battled through some stuff, but he also had Eddie George carrying the ball 40 times a game to cover it. Different NFL today.

If he could go then of course I would want him in over Gabbert. This isn’t a pain issue. It’s a nerve/feel issue. He tried to go with this the first time it happened and that lasted two plays and likely cost them the game.

I read that article, sounds like the Titans decision to pick up the option year (and make Marcus the highest paid QB) just got muddier. Prior to this I thought it would be too much money, but worth bringing him back to keep working on the system and building consistency, and he really is a pretty good QB when he's healthy and the overall team effort is there.

But now, i'm not sure. If it's in his best interest from a health standpoint, to walk away, then I hope that's what happens even if it means the team has to start over again with a new QB.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Woodyard gets held and blocked in the back on that play. Well played refs! Not like it matters if Luck is going to have it this easy.

 

[PredsV82]

Disappointing start. Should have had Luck there...

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Colts stacking 9 in the box.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

30-3 is looking like a solid Blaine Gabbert-esque scoreline for tonight.

 

[sparkle twin]

I just want to say that I really love that walk across the bridge by the fans! That is pretty awesome!

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

At least the punter doing his job tonight. 95-yard Colts drive incoming.

 

[Armourboy]

They better figure something out or this is over already.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Well, that works!
