NIGHT SHIFT: ALL HUGS TO STEVE ADDAZIO
This is up late due to throwing things due to continued redzone frustrations and dinner. But it was an angry, grudge-y dinner! We ate two pieces of pizza, and almost ate a third, but it beat us. But it was close, so we’ll claim it as three and move on. <—-Kiffinthink.

Blatant non-call and non-review of a clear fumble on 3rd and goal in the Iowa-MSU game.
There was an Iowa FG on the next play.
Start up your asterisks.

Blog Goliard says:
Once again this season, I find myself wondering how a defender can rip a player’s helmet off and not get called for a facemask. Or does taking somebody’s head off fall under the now-abolished category of five-yard infractions?
I know that everybody in every conference every year complains about the referees being a bunch of brain-damaged monkeys. But this year really has been one unending coast-to-coast clown show, hasn’t it?

Miker says:
Until the Rainey I formation run, I think our redzone offense was positively Zookish, but the major fuckups can all be put at Tebow’s door. What a weird game – a pick 6 that wasn’t and one that got called back. Our defense played great, it’s just Tebow spotted them 13 points. Anyone seen any explanation of Jame’s reduced production on returns this year?

Conspiracy theorist says:
The line for MSU-Florida was -23.5.
Tebow throws two pick sixes against a hapless team, gifting them their only two TDs.
Then again, I guess the bible doesn’t explicitly prohibit shaving points.

USC may be the the only team I confidently feel would rip Alabama and Florida apart but lose to Cincinnati by 2 touchdowns

John says:
USC certainly did a number on Oregon State tonight. They beat Oregon by 3 scores next week and lose to Stanford. It’s the Trojan way. But I like how we are already talking about an annual underachiever belonging in the title game just because they could play with the top teams if only those pesky Pac 10 teams would get out of the way.

@ Beckett
No way. They’d kill Cincinnati and then lose to Syracuse.
October 24th, 2009 at 10:49 pm

Steve says:
Provided, of course, that they had a number of key injuries, committed a bunch of dumb penalties, had a few untimely fumbles and sprinkled in some fluke plays. And it certainly helps to be playing a team that everyone “knows” is awful but probably has a few scholarship football players hanging around.
This is how most upsets and near upsets happen. Just ask USC. Or Florida. Or OSU, OU, WV, TX, LSU, PSU or any other school which has suffered an unsightly blemish which potentially cost them points with the judges in this sham of a beauty contest called the BCS.
This is Capt. Obvious, saying goodnight.

tm says:
Although Addazio’s playcalling needs work obviously, doesn’t he call plays outside the red zone and Billy Gonzalez is responsible for the red zone offense? Correctly me if I’m wrong. But although the offense outside the red zone needs work too, the red zone offense is the real problem
Last year in the red zone, 91% scores, 75% TD’s: so 4 TD’s, 1 FG, and 1 no score every 6 trips. 31 points.
at MSU: 6 red zone trips, 8 points: (missed FG, FG, FG, FG, interception returned for a TD (-7 points), FG, TD (missed extra point).
vs. Arkansas: 6 red zone trips, 13 points: (missed FG, fumble, fumble, FG, TD, FG).
The red zone is the big problem.

Orson Swindle says:
Addazio is responsible for the thing breaking down in those red zone trips: the offensive line’s protection. Some responsibility has to be borne by Scot Loeffler, too. Tebow takes even longer to throw than last year, and at times seems uncoached entirely.

Aligator says:
the theory is this, tebow wants to keep the game close so he can be the hero in the end, not only saying hey we are undeteated, but i won the heisman!
if we run the I in the redzone we can score, if we try and throw in the red zone, e can not score, now that means if we are playing in their red zone too. we also can run moody in chunks, but not when it counts. addazio is reading a waffle house menu, and he is an idiot.
the whole country now sees he is and idot and tim tebow is gving away points every game. my god!

Wow, was at the game, still drunk, and still pissed…..for all intensive purposes, it all goes back to the red zone…..We pounded UT in the 2nd qtr all the way down the field to the 2 yrd line by running the ball, then we get cute and TRY TO FUCKING PASS THE BALL TWICE???? Someone help me with the math……McElroy cant get it done, and we are using a rivalry game in the red zone to practice???? We punch it in there, and the rest of the game they are playing to catch up,not playing to win……WTF?? Thank God we were playing vs Kiffy, I am counting that one as not so great win vs a not so great UT team since every other top team will scheme us the same way, if we cant score TD’s with the Wildcat, we are fucked. Put Texas number one……we aint even close…then damn Ingram tries to do too much and gets stripped….if he keeps try to carry 2 or 3 defenders once he gets stood up, some one is gonna come flying in there and crush his knee…Hats off to Monte Kiffin, and to Crompton, played a tuff game, made plays, we just had to make 2 more to win……THANK YOU TERRANCE CODY!!!!!! At least we can rest a little bit….we need it….

Blog Golliard–
) nobody in stripes cared about a helmetless riot breaking out before the play was even whistled dead.
If you want to see a helmetless riot, put on a referee’s shirt, make that call, and give Tennessee another shot at a FG. Your family would have to go into the witness protection program.

PW: Methinks BG was referring to the Beavers-Trojans game and a pretty obvious no-call on a OSU TD.
Although, had the Wizard of Oz not interceded, there very well would have been an “unsportsmanlike conduct” call on Mt. Cody for ripping his helmet off while a play was in progress. But probably not. Gotta keep that 1 v 2 showdown for the SECCG alive.
