The Little Apple Wildcats beat the desert Wildcats last night and we looked much better than the first two weeks. Our baby quarterback seems to be getting his legs under him.
I watched the end of the first half and it felt like LSU had some momentum. They started down 0-17, so definitely making the comeback much more likely.
It should be a good second half. Not surprisingly, the Alabama/Wisconsin game isn’t worth watching.
Man, that was brutal. The whole game swung on that personal foul during the pick-6 return. Maybe I don’t understand the rule, but that looked clean to me. My understanding is that you can’t blind-side someone during a return and light them up. This wasn’t anything like that. He was standing right in front him and blocked him in the front of his shoulder pads.
Anyway it was a mistake in hindsight to even touch him, but it looked OK to me.
The game changed entirely when SC got called for the phantom OPI call in the 4th quarter. Went from them being deep into LSU territory to backed up to like their own 15 or something. Horrid call.
The Cougs win the Apple Cup! They had a goal line stand at the end of the game.
I’d love to see them in the playoff in their first year of exile. They’d probably have to nearly run the table because their strength of schedule won’t be great with them playing mostly Mountain West team. That’s why this win over Washington was big, beyond the rivalry.
Even though I grew up in Cougar territory, I was always a Huskies fan until they bailed the conference. Seeing the Cougs win put a smile on my face this morning and I wish them luck this year.
