Florida better win by at least 14 points. Few times I have seen Georgia they have looked like crap all around even. Florida will have a shot against Alabama and maybe the title game if our passing game takes off and gets more yards per game.

Smooth Criminal · 10-22-2012, 07:40 PM

I like Florida to win big as well. They've looked better as the seasons come along and Georgia is vastly overrated.

we don't have a chance against Alabama. our pass blocking is garbage and even Pease's best game plan can't make up for our overall lack of offense against Alabama's defense

49erNation85 · 10-22-2012, 08:07 PM

Yes true sbh but there is a chance Alabma gets cocky or something. Maybe there RB get hurt or something .

they're so deep that no one injury is going to make that big of a difference. Saban keeps his teams humble and ready to play. I'm as happy with this season as anyone, but don't fool yourself into thinking we're on Bama's level.

Alabama
----------
----------
----------
Florida
----------
South Carolina+LSU

etc.

JRTPlaya21 · 10-22-2012, 08:24 PM

Another injury at RB would be devastating. It's basically just Lacy & Yeldon now and Drake gets carries at the end of blowouts.

Fixed for the big picture.

I'd love to see Alabama vs Oregon... would be very interesting to see how that offense stacks up against a defense with the Tide's speed. as far as your rankings, I'd say there's even a gap between Alabama and Oregon

scottyboy · 10-22-2012, 08:37 PM

homecoming. i'm so excite.

49erNation85 · 10-22-2012, 08:43 PM

@sbh , I know I know. I just keep dreaming a tittle shot this year. Maybe next year when the whole team gets way better. I am also way excited for our guys this year pulling a great season since Tebow.And to think Driskel is gonna such a better passer / runner then him. It will be another good 3 years.

TheBoyWonder22 · 10-22-2012, 08:44 PM

I'm not really sure I agree. Alabama is probably better than they were last year, but I feel like Oregon's offense today is the most explosive we've seen in a long time. Factor in an opportunistic defense with some studs along every level so I'd say it is not a huge margin. I think Mariota is the absolute perfect QB for this offense. I'd love to see another game where we don't slam on the brakes. That's the only way we can see if they're for real.

Once they start down the stretch it's going to be SC, Stanford, Oregon st. and then the pac-12 championship. Most likely they'll be playing all 4 quarters and not backing off the throttle.

I also think for the Ducks big picture they are going to have to utilize the TE more in the offense.

JoeJoeBrown · 10-23-2012, 09:31 AM

Enjoy your season sbh! Jesus, you guys are good. Don't be a sad panda in fretting about Bama. They aren't as good as last year and crap happens. That's why they play the games.

I really couldn't be happier that we're almost certainly going to be playing in a BCS bowl. after what I witnessed last year, my very optimistic projection for this team was 9 wins. now they have a very real shot at an undefeated showdown with Alabama.

You are forgiven.

Sounds like you aren't enjoying your season.

Tyler Hunter is taking over punt return duties for Rashad "Butterfingers" Greene.

StickSkills · 10-23-2012, 02:05 PM

Well tents went up last night. Largest Nittanyville ever. 1,185 students currently camping out.

Grizzlegom · 10-23-2012, 04:05 PM

Did they reset the numbers for Nittanyville or is that including Paternoville stats? Just curious, I was there for the first Paternoville, great times were had.

SolidGold · 10-23-2012, 10:30 PM

It sucks a huge showdown like this carries no weight in the BCS or Big 10 conference race. Anyway - Go PSU!

No, this season has been fun. I just have lost quite a bit of enthusiasm for the sport as its dirty as hell and no one will fix it.

Lyerla is a monster! The guy has the potential to be a Hall-of-Fame TE in this offense. The problem is as you said, we don't utilize him properly. I think he's about to put up some big games as we'll need to get the ball to our studs in order to win these last few games. I think it will work itself out.

You go to Oregon? I thought you were a Baltimore guy.
