I've finally moved on after Bama's loss against Tennessee. I admit that the Vols played extremely well, despite all the penalties and mental errors that Bama endured. After the chaos, they deserved to be in the Top 5. That's the first time in 16 years that Tennessee beat us. Streaks have to end, so congrats to them. Now, it's time for Bama to focus on Mississippi State. Their quarterback Will Rogers has been outstanding. Like all the SEC teams Bama fought, they'll give our secondary fits because they can't seen to cover the receivers. It should be a fun game to watch. I wish the very best for my Tide.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

#14 Syracuse forces their third turnover against #5 Clemson!

SU's leading 21-10 in the third quarter.

 

[Doom]

Syracuse forces another turnover, from DJ Uiaglelei's second pick!

 

[Doom]

And just like that Clemson takes the lead with a 50 yard touchdown run by Will Shipley!

It's 24-21, with a successful two-point conversion.

Yeah this game had been wild

 

[Doom]

It really has. It comes to show how good of a coach Dabo is by injecting life back to the team and get back at them.

 

[Doom]

Clemson gets the field goal to extend the lead 27-21.

Syracuse has one more drive left to make a comeback.

 

[Doom]

Interception by Clemson!

Game over! They win the game, 27-21!

 

[Doom]

That's Clemson's 38th straight win at home, breaking Bobby Bowden's record with 37, with the streak lasting from 1995-2001.

 

[Doom]

LSU's making the game interesting with a touchdown, to make it a two-score-lead against #7 Ole Miss, 30-20, early in the 4th quarter.

Also, I believe the player crossed the plane, since it's under review.

 

[Doom]

The play stands, touchdown LSU!

The PAT is good and it's 31-20.

 

[Doom]

Touchdown LSU!

They're punishing Ole Miss late in the game, with the score 38-20.

 

[Doom]

Almost time for the Bama gamel

I'm pumped!!!

 

[Doom]

#10 Oregon's pretty much got the victory over #9 UCLA, 45-30 with 1:30 left in the game.

Good game Oregon!

I missed a great majority of the Bama game last night due to me getting wasted. I saw the score and I was very happy that they took care of business beating Mississippi State 30-6. They needed a bounce back after the high-scoring game against Tennessee last week. Good game guys! RTR!
