The worst thing that can happen to Matt Barkley's stock today is for Max Wittek and USC's offense to have a huge game against ND's defense and win.

Tyler Bray is going off today. 18-27, 254 yards, 4 TDs. His 4th TD just went to Patterson. Had a long one to Hunter earlier.

CRAP!!!

I wanted the Niners to draft him.

I still don't understand how Derek Dooley only won 5 games with this team.

Defense was not very good, and Bray is not always consistent. I personally feel Bray should stay for his Senior season as I don't see him right now as a very good NFL QB.

Anyway Georgia handled their business so assuming Alabama does it looks like the National Title game may very well be next week in Atlanta. I really don't see Notre Dame being able to beat either of those 2 SEC Teams assuming they don't slip up to USC tonight.

I think he should declare as soon as yesterday. He's losing Justin Hunter, and maybe even Cordarelle Patterson, and he'll have to learn a new offense with a new coaching staff next year. This is a relatively shallow QB class and if a guy like Brock Osweiler can be drafted in the 2nd round, I don't see Bray dropping much farther.

How many of you guys think Florida will be in the National Championship if they win today and ND loses tonight?

Bjorn Werner just beat Florida's RT around the edge for a sack. That's 10.5 for him on the season.

Ugh, one of the most overrated players in the draft. He does some nice things, and he still hasn't reached his ceiling, but people are talking about him as a top-15 player. No way.

He's one of those players who went from underrated last season to overrated this season. One thing I noticed about him is that he kind of loafs it if he doesn't think he's gonna make hte play. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. A lot of players burn themselves out by going 100% all the time.

When it's all said & done, I see him a 25-35 range player.

Baylor/Texas Tech overtime

Captains walk out to midfield. Official asks Baylor senior CB Demetri Goodson, "Ok guys, Baylor is going to call it. Offense, defense, which side of the field. What's your call?"

Baylor senior CB Demetri Goodson's response: "We want defense."

Official interjects, "No, you need to call your flip."

Goodson's response: Oh, heads.

Official: Heads? Ok.

Official: Tails it is.

----

Ok, now I know the official worded that in a way that it might seem a little confusing to many who aren't familiar with the way OT goes. C'mon, though. That's something all players should know by now. I really hope Goodson actually knew there is a coin flip. He probably did, but you never know with players these days.

Oklahoma just ran an 82 yard punt back to possibly tie the game. 2 pointer coming up.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Man, I absolutely love everything about Amari Cooper. Could be the best WR prospect since AJ Green when it's all said and done.

 

[NinerSickness]

Yeah, Mr. Cooper has been pretty impressive. Don't know about best since AJ Green though.

2 pointer good. Tie game in Oklahoma.

If anyone is watching the Stanford-Ucla game, check out #93 Trent Murphy today. I don't know why he doesn't get more attention? He's going t be a hell of a olb on a 3-4 team. I hope we can get him at the end of the 3rd.

I know helacks pass rush moves and can get better with his hands, but he is a monster.

9.5 sacks so far this season, plus excellent against the run.

For some reason Chase Thomas got all the attention this season, but Murphy is the better prospect IMO. I'm not really interested in either one though. I'm more interested Tyler Bray, depth on the DL, a situational pass-rusher... I actually think trading up would be a good idea this offseason; if they do they won't be making too many mid-range selections.

Thats where Murphy fits in perfectly.

He could. He can get after the QB, but I don't know that I'd call him a pass-rush specialist. He's simply not that athletic compared to NFL OLBs. I'd be more interested in going after a guy like Brandon Jenkins (low stock) or maybe Sean Porter later in the draft. Maybe even Michael Buchanon from Illinois to a lesser extent.

I see Murphy as more of a 4-3 LDE than an OLB in the NFL. JMHO.

He has a great namde though. Trent Murphy. Sounds like a hero in an action movie.

Anyone catch the Bill O'Brien interview right after the OT win over Wisconsin? He was clearly emotional and trying to hold it together. But the first question was about his senior class and the emotions of the season. I've listened to it 5 times now, and there's some debate about what he said/meant to say, but this is the first sentence I heard.

"They're a bunch of fuckers."

He had to pause for a second to collect himself, and elaborated on the "fight" of his team, so some think he had to catch himself while saying "fighters". Either way, it was hilarious. Good for him.
