Title: SI's Mandels take on the Arky meltdown Post by: SeniorTSM on September 17, 2012, 02:30:00 PM http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/stewart_mandel/09/16/usc-stanford-florida-state-notre-dame/1.html
Quote But you would have thought they'd at least put up a fight in front of their fans. Injured quarterback Tyler Wilson said as much when he marched into the postgame press conference and excoriated his teammates. "Do I feel that we, at times, gave up out there? Yeah, absolutely," he said. "As a leader, it sucks to see people not do their jobs and things go wrong." It's not Wilson's fault he couldn't suit up. He suffered an apparent concussion in last week's game, and concussions -- as you may have heard -- are a pretty serious issue these days. Smith, however, spent the week milking Wilson's injury as part of a ridiculous ruse. The coach admitted afterward that Wilson was ruled out Thursday, but Smith still went so far as having the concussed star suit up and throw passes with the first-team offense before kickoff. Shockingly, Nick Saban was not fooled.

I don't however think it winds up being Oregon in the final game, it will be West VA. or Oklahoma. I demise this because they both have a chance to run the filed except against each other. RTR!

I'll agree with the poor center play, but who do they think were causing fumbles and intercepting passes? |
