2012 FBS bowl games and FCS playoffs

[dwid]

Nevada is doing great, up 21 to 7 right now, 2 touchdowns by a White tight end Zach Sudfeld, he is 6'7 255 pounds.

Anyone been paying attention to any FCS games? the one game I saw on tv was pretty black on both sides.

dwid, I'm not sure about the other teams playing today, but mostly white North Dakota State is back in the FCS Title Game after a great victory over a mostly black Georgia Southern team last night. North Dakota State is the reigning FCS Champion, and here are their white starters:

Offense

QB Brock Jensen
FB Andrew Grothmann
WR(Z) Ryan Smith
WR(X) Zach Vraa
TE Garrett Bruhn
LG Josh Colville
C Joe Lund
RG Tyler Gimmestad
RT Joe Haeg

Defense

DE Kyle Emanuel
DT Danny Luecke
NG Ryan Drevlow
DE Cole Jirik
WLB Travis Beck
MLB Grant Olson
FS Christian Dudzik
SS Bobby Ollman


17 white starters for the Bison!! Go North Dakota State!!

 

[dwid]

thanks, thats great news to hear.

Fajardo is a great dual threat qb and can't be stopped by the Wildcats. He is only a sophomore and looks to be better than Colin Kaepernick was in his best year.

Hale looks like a much better back than the afflete that is starting

I meant to start a WR-Brandon Kaufman(Eastern Washington) thread earlier this season;...he should have an NFL Future at nearly 6'-5" 215...4.48 40..... a big timer from Denver CO... redshirt Junior...so not sure if he stays another year in college??

One of his 3 TD's today in a 45-42 loss to Sam Houston(EWU down 35-0 half)....looked like a INT by the DB; but instead was a tremendous over the shoulder grab; caught simultaneously; then wrestled the ball away from defender on ground; a 60 yard reception was very imressive as he broke a lot of tackles....

Today Brandon Kaufman had 9 receptions for 215 yards and three touchdowns, the first 200-yard game for the junior All-American but his 19th 100-yard game.

Kaufman, who had only two catches for 15 yards in the first half, set the FCS record for single-season yardage on his second touchdown. He went past the 1,712-yard record set by Eddie Conti of Delaware in 1998.

Kaufman finishes the season with 93 receptions for 1,850 yards and 16 touchdowns

There was a fight on the Arizona bench in their game against Nevada between two defensive players, one black and one white.

Nice to see Ippolito fight back and hold his ground after the attempted sucked punch by the afflete displaying TNB.

NDSU will face Sam Houston St. in a rematch of last years FCS championship. Here's to hoping the Bison can make it 2 years in a row with wins over a caste opponent!!

 

[Riddlewire]

I don't care for many of the bowl matchups this year. I wasn't watching tonight's BYU-SDSU game. But I stopped by while going through the channels. I swear I just saw SDSU snap the ball on a 3rd down play with 10 white players on the field (might have been a couple of polys, though).

 

[Leonardfan]

Boise St just beat a very caste Washington team. Much hyped black quarterback keith price capped off a very down year throwing two INTs in the loss :dance:

Matt Miller capped off a solid sophomore campaign with a 6 rec 90 yd performance.

 

[FootballDad]

Future undrafted free agent Nick Florence broke the school record for passing yards in a season yesterday during his team's victory over UCLA in the Holiday Bowl. Of course, Nick plays for Baylor and broke first-round draft pick and toast of the NFL (and MSM) "RG3"s record. Don't expect to hear about it much in the sports news. I doubt it was even mentioned on BSPN.

 

[celtic warrior]

It is a longshot but I think Ohio's Beau Blankenship runs for over 200 yards on about 35 carries against LL. Lets hope he does it.

 

[TwentyTwo]

Ohio U. WR Clint Cochran just burned a brutha for a 68yd TD! QB Tettleton obliterating the affletic secondary....have not run the ball much with Blankenship yet...just had a nice 22 yard run...& Tettleton for 21

ULM QB Kolton Browning out of sync at the start...look for him to hit the ignition switch with WR's Brent Leonard(leading reciever/walk-on) & Colby Harper

Conner Vernon had 10 receptions 119 yards & TD! Look for his NFL Draft Stock to rise in the coming months...joke sMel Diper had him #26 WR

How about TE Travis Kelce(Cincinnati) with the game winning 83yd TD! At 6'-6" 260 has some serious wheels! The NFL will take notice!

Western Kentucky TE Jack Doyle had a ESPN Top 10 one-handed TD grab! He should get a shot in the NFL....

6'-8" DE Margus Hunt was an absolute beast!!

Another 6-8" stud (305) OT-Eric Fisher Central Michigan projects as a NFL 1st Rounder in upcoming draft!

It is a longshot but I think Ohio's Beau Blankenship runs for over 200 yards on about 35 carries...

Thus far, in the 3rd qtr, he's got 101 yds and 3 tds! Both Independence Bowl records.

 

[Freethinker]

Thus far, in the 3rd qtr, he's got 101 yds and 3 tds! Both Independence Bowl records.

Blankenship just rushed for his 4th touchdown. WR Chase Cochran now has 3 catches for 162 yards!

Wish I was home to watch this one.

 

[Banned on the Run]

I believe wr Tyler Futrell is having a great game as well. Mitchell Bailey got 3 carries though not for much yardage and Brent Leonard is doing his usual talented stuff. I think Blankenship will be a viable Heisman hopeful next year or at least a contender for the Doak Walker award.

 

[Banned on the Run]

A little known freshman walk-on rb had 3 carries in garbage time for Ohio. Brian Palermo a 5'8" 210 lb. rb from Pittsburgh Catholic. His youtube video mostly shows him returning kicks but it says he has been timed at 4.49. Hes probably a third stringer at best next year but another one to look out for. He reminds me a little of Rex Burkhead with the inside running ability but probably not with the same power.

I saw some guys draft board the other day that had Conner Vernon as a sleeper. How is he a sleeper, the guys is a four time All-ACC and is a record holder at DUKE. I guess he just got tried of putting pharses like "deceptive speed" and "plays with a lot of heart".

 

[Highlander]

A very watchable bowl game on right now, still in the 1st Qtr...Air Force vs. Rice.

 

[TwentyTwo]

Impressive game for 6-5" soph. WR Jordan Taylor(Rice)...9 receptions 154 yards...3 TD's! Sam McGuffie had 5 rec for 80 yards...

6'-2" 220 RB Turner Peterson had a nice 48 yd run...lead Rice in rushing today 8 carries for 77 yards...

Air Force spread the ball around...RB Cody Getz only had 8 carries for 38 yards...not sure if the nagging ankle injury is still bothering him or not??

 

[dwid]

McGuffie looks like the real deal as an NFL prospect. He made a great catch where he had to jump and adjust. It was only his second year playing the position and he has 600 yards. That gives him 1,500 yards rushing 10 tds and 1,200 yards receiving 10 tds for his career. Hopefully he gets a shot. I know most 4 star recruits get a shot in the NFL if they have shown anything in college, but they are on the darker side.

I think he could be a better version of Percy Harvin, who could have had 1k by now if not for injuries.

Jesse Palmer annoys me - he is very caste and has been heaping praise and hype on Geno Smiff all game for making easy throws to wide open receives but since he has to throw across the field its an Nfl throw...give me a ****ing break

I agree on that TD throw Jesse was praising Geno Smiff for throwing a wide receiver slip screen. Lol like really man? That was all Stedman Bailey with yards after the catch. This game will expose him as the number one quarterback to be drafted this year. I enjoyed seeing that safety the Syracuse defense caused!

Not watching the game but safe to say Smith isn't performing like a top pick. 3.9 ypa, only one guy averaging over 10 UPC w 1 catch for 13 . He has 6.9 per completion, most qbs get around that much per attempt, I'm assuming the 32 yarder had some yac without that it's 30 yards on 16 attempts, yea definitely not a top pick

 

[Leonardfan]

The reality is Geno Smiff is not the best QB in the draft but the caste masters are going to do their best to hype him up exponentially in the next few months.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Not that I think this draft class is great, but I wasn't impressed with Smith at all. His numbers have been greatly embellished due to a combination of a weak opposition and a good recieving core.
I currently have Smith ranked 8th on my board.
1. Matt Barkley USC
2. Landry Jones Oklahoma
3. Colin Klein Kansas State
4. Tyler Bray Tennessee
5. Ryan Nassib Syracuse
6. Taj Boyd Clemson
7. Mike Glennon N.C. State
8. Geno Smith West Virginia
9. Aaron Murray Georgia
10 Tyler Wilson Arkansas
