So if Charlie Strong stays at Louisville over Tennessee does this mean the ACC is better than the SEC? This drawing conclusions stuff for whole conferences is silly.

Very true .jpg. Alvarez is a baller and Bielema is just a bro.

Alvarez is 1000x the coach Bielema is.

well congrats to manziel. as bitter as i feel about the first freshman heisman winner being form texas a&m and someone who wanted to play at texas as texas has had 6 scholly qbs on campus and none nearly as good as manziel, in addition to the last trophy winner also wanting to come here, but oh no apparently they're dbs or wrs (why the fuck was vince young recruited huh--oh right because he had a lot of stars on rivals--and did mack learn nothing from how his biggest successes were when you had two awesome running qbs? he had no idea colt mccoy would become a dual threat guy. hell, he wasn't even recruited to be a starter. if not for that immense luck mack brown probably would not have his job, and despite that he still totally uosdfgdsufdsfbsf end stupid rant), he definitely deserved it.

but back to mariota. manziel had 86 more rushes and 88 more passes, for about 1400 more yards. he had 9 more touchdowns. but mariota had thomas and barner to hand the ball off to. mariota actually had almost 300 total yards against stanford. i thought he played worse. he was mainly really inaccurate. but manziel had as bad or worse games against LSU, florida, and ole miss. obviously a great game against bama which sealed it for him. he played the better defenses overall, but that's because the top 3 were really good and below that there's nothing special about any of the defenses he faced except maybe MSU.

manziel deserved it though because he actually was on the field and put up the numbers, so i can't really argue with what did happen. it reminds me of tebow's heisman year when florida went like 8 or 9 and 4. if they were a better team that season his stats would have been less impressive. then the next two years his numbers dropped off some because florida was better everywhere else on the field. i bet manziel's statline won't be as good next season because they won't need him as much.

but whatever, i'm excited to watch those two guys play for three more years. they're fun as hell to watch. hopefully texas will have the first TRUE freshman heisman winner soon.

You're acting like the backfield help wasn't helpful to Mariota. It was extremely helpful to his accumulation of statistics.

true, but malena and michael are a good backfield as well. just not heisman conversation good. i guess it's moot though. the big point is 190 fewer plays.

It really isn't a big point or a meaningful point unless you take into account the rest of the context. The one time Arizona faced a good defense their scoring dried up. That suggests that their offensive performance was built on facing a bunch of weak defenses.

man, Oregon State has a terrible coach.

Texas doesn't fare much better there these days. But that was a damn good second half they played. Alex okafor made himself a few million dollars next April with that ridiculous stat line. Texas had ten sacks which is an Alamo bowl record, but he was half a sack short of breaking it on his own.

Btw I hate how shitty ESPN's box scores for college sports are but I think they're required to keep them shitty. There is just no explanation for not listing sacks. He had 9.5 sacks?

Oh sorry I left out that the previous record was five for a team and he had 4.5, plus nine tackles and a forced fumble. It was reminiscent of ndumakung suh's dominance against Texas in the 2009 big 12 championship.

Excitement level for the Chick-Fil-A Heterosexual Gay Hater's Bowl:

Solid 1/10.

Summary:

-10 for being the Chick-Fil-A bowl
+ .2 for beating a team named the tigers
+ .8 for beating a team that also calls its stadium death valley
+ .5 since Clemson used Death Valley first, we stole it, and now everyone thinks we made it up
- .5 because this game is reminding people that so our ruse is suffering

That was one HELL of a game. I'm a very passionate Clemson fan and I'll admit that at no point did I really feel like we'd win that game.
