Somebody needs to forward this to Mick..

Versions of the glove have since been adopted by the Stanford football and track and field teams, as well as other college athletics programs, the San Francisco 49ers, the Oakland Raiders and Manchester United soccer club.

With this and the Sparty loss, OSU should be ranked in the top 10

Unbelievable.

...and does not deserve it right now.

We have something of a problem, though, in a year when only about 4 teams deserve to be ranked in the top 10.



By the way, does IQ somehow correlate with tackling ability? Because this Stanford team tackles better than anyone else I've seen this season, and maybe going back several years.

If it does, the Alabama defense is the biggest paradox of all time.

To give credit where due

Herbie stated yesterday in pre-game.. that USC could be in serious trouble.. without their starting center.. and that hit the nail on the head.. Stanford destroyed that rookie center.. which caused the entire line to falter

Sanctions lost scholarships do hurt depth..

From the beginning I thought Bama/LSU would destroy this SC team mostly on the fact that their oline and dline are both average and have little depth. They're defense cant handle a power run team and a big badass oline like Sabans would truck all over them.

USC is better suited against teams like Oregon. I still believe they'll win the Pac12

As far as the National Champion. It will come down to LSU vs Bama once again, winner takes it all. FSU will get there most likely but I dont see them challenging either team.
