Well that was too close for comfort. Thought we were done playing down to our competition.
We nearly got beat by a punter; it felt like every possession started inside our own 10 yard line. Five of them did, and another started on our 12. Our average start, excepting our last possession where they had to go for it at their 48, was our own 18 yeard line.
So that had something to do with the low score. They talked a lot about BC's defensive scheme taking away the medium and long passes, and that they did. And a lot of the air seemed to go out of our collective spirit when Jonas Gray went down in the 3rd quarter. Hope their wrong about a torn ACL, but they're probably right. Doesn' help going in to Stanford, that's for sure.
The defense was on its game today, fortunately. Their last TD made things way too interesting, but giving up 1 TD per half is more than decent.
I guess will take the W, expecially since it was BC we beat.
Speaking of BC, Oklahoma State sure messed things up for them by losing last night. Which team that's already lost to LSU will get a chance for a rematch? Or will LSU lose as well, throwing everything into a bigger tizzy?
Settling in for SC/Oregon now. If SC figures a way to win, we're going to have to admit that both they AND Michigan are pretty darned good teams. UofM really stomped on Nebraska today.
Ramping up for the big weekend in Northern California. Listen for us as you're watching the game.
Happy Thanksgiving all.
GO IRISH!!!! BEAT CARDINAL!!!!

Some crazy stuff happening at the top of the polls, unfortunately it will not do much to help us in the rankings. BCS seems way out of reach even with a win over Stanford (which is also unlikely).
