Props to Tennessee though. I think they're going to be good. They just didn't have the experience to close it out. They rode the crowd and young exuberance to an early lead, but the Ducks had too much experience and too much overall talent. It was really enjoyable to see all those loud mouthed Vols fans looking down and out at the end of the game.
No offense, but I just looked and that entire thread hasn't been responded on since yesterday and the entire "College Football" messageboard has 6 threads in the last 24 hours. So I think the fact that this thread (even in the OT forum) is getting 80+ posts proves my point.
I'm a Tennessee fan and I was very impressed with their first half. They are all young and inexperienced, their number one playmaker on offense was out with an injury, and they have a bunch of players transfer after Kiffin left. The whole time they were up or tied I could just feel that Oregon would take off at any moment. Simms has potential, I think.
Like I said, I was very impressed with the Vols. That stadium is a huge advantage when the crowd is going, but once the momentum turned, the crowd was pretty much a nonfactor. Poole was pretty solid in the first half, but the Ducks adjusted and he couldn't keep it going. The guy is a beast though.
Bent... them... over in front of their own fans. I wouldn't want to be Portland State right now. I've never seen 100 points before.
Yeah, I go to PSU, but I've been a Duck fan all my life. I thought PSU was cutting their football program.... maybe they will after the Ducks are done with them.
