SEC Still Bowlin'

There are a couple of good bowl games going on right now. Sloth Carolina currently has their hands full with UConn in the Papajohns.com Bowl on the 4 letter network. The Huskies have a 10-0 lead with 9:07 left in the first half. UConn is down to the 26 yard line of Sloth Carolina.

Over on Fox, Ole Miss is battling Oklahoma State. Just a few moments ago, the Rebels were denied on 4th goal from the Cowboys 1 yard line. Oklahoma State will be punting from deep inside their own territory. The first quarter will end in less than a minute. So far, it's a scoreless game in the Cotton Bowl.

And just in case you missed it, Florida took Cincinnati to the woodshed last night with a 51-24 beat down in the Sugar Bowl. Click on the title of this post for more details, via ESPN.com. How 'bout them Gators, 850?

UConn leads Sloth Carolina 13-0 with 7:55 left in 1st half. The Gamecocks will face 3rd and 16 deep in their own territory following a timeout. Spurrier's squad has yet to gain a first down.

Rob said...

And we have a 1st down! Steven Garcia just completed an 18 yard pass to one of his WRs. I think it was Alshon Jeffrey, but I'm not sure.

And another 1st down for the Gamecocks. All of a sudden, Sloth Carolina is up to midfield.

Rob said...

Gamecocks just gained 16 more. They are around the UConn 40.

Rob said...

What looked like a nice drive for Sloth Carolina will be all for nothing. Looked like they were going for a long FG, but the snap was terribly mishandled. Watching live, it almost looked like a poorly executed fake.

Big sack by freshman DB Stephon Gilmore backs up the Huskies. They face 3rd and 14 from midfield- short pass gains 5. UConn will punt.

Fair catch by Gilmore. Gamecocks will have the ball inside their own 20 after commercial break.

Rob said...

Forgot about Ole Miss for a minute. They lead 7-0 with just under 6 minutes left in 1st half. On 3rd and 8, backup QB Nathan Stanley (FR) runs for 1st down.

Don't know what happened to Snead. If any of ya'll have the info, please let me know. It can't be too serious. Dude's got his helmet on as he stands on the Mississippi sideline.

Ole Miss to punt. Cowboys will have the ball around their own 16 after commercial break.

Rob said...

Pizza Bowl is at halftime. Score remains 13-0 Huskies.

Rob said...

1:11 left before Halftime of Cotton Bowl. Ole Miss still leads 7-0. Rebels will have the ball following commercial break. From what I've seen so far, Ole Miss is playing some good D today. OSU has 67 scrawny yards so far.

Jevan Snead is back in the game. Ib 2nd and 3, McCluster gains zero. Shuffle pass to McCluster produces 1st down. Ole Miss calls 2nd T.O. Rebels are around their own 40.

Rob said...

lb 2nd and 3, should have been On 2nd and 3.... Don't know how I typed that instead.

Rob said...

Pass from Snead intercepted by Andre Sexton of OSU at Cowboys 33. 15 seconds left in 2nd quarter.

Zac Robinson runs for 13. 8 seconds left. Robinson fumbles, as time expires. Ole Miss 7-0 at half.

Rob said...

Big mistake by Eric Norwood- Ran into punter and gave UConn a free 1st down at their own 45.

Rob said...

Personal foul on Sloth Carolina extends the UConn drive. Once again, Huskies should have had to punt. Now, they're in Gamecocks territory. To translate what the ESPN crew is saying, "Carolina is playing dumb football, right now." They said it a little nicer.

Rob said...

Huskies fumble the ball. Sloth Carolina takes over. What a huge break for the Gamecocks!

Rob said...

Sloth Carolina unable to capitalize on the turnover. Garcia just got sacked by Lawrence Wilson of UConn on 3rd and 18.

Huskies will have the ball at their own 39 with about 5 minutes left in 3rd.

Rob said...

Ole Miss also unable to convert on 3rd and 18. Joshua Shene just doinked a 41 yard FG attempt off the upright. Score remains 7-0 Miss with 11:30 left in 3rd.

Rob said...

Sloth Carolina DB Auguste just dropped what should have been a pick 6. UConn to punt.

Rob said...

Meanwhile at the Cotton Bowl, Ole Miss backup QB Stanley just threw a costly pick. Cowboys are 2nd and 7 from the Rebels 8. Pass interference called on Miss. 1st and goal from the 2 for OSU. Good call by the refs.

Keith Toston to the 1. 2nd and goal for OSU. No gain. 3rd and goal from the 1. A Tebow-esque jump pass from Toston to Youman for a short 6-strike by OSU. That was a sweet play!

PAT ties the game at 7.

Rob said...

Back at the Pizza Bowl, UConn is knocking at the door. Leading 13-0 the Huskies are on the Carolina 16. End of 3rd quarter. A TD here could crush Sloth Carolina.

Rob said...

Jevan Snead back in for Ole Miss. He's thrown 3 picks in the game? Didn't realize that. Just saw the stats posted on TV. Guess I've been jumping back and forth too much. Anyway, Miss is on their own 37. 2nd and 8 for the Rebs. McCluster gains 5.

Rob said...

UConn at Carolina 10. 2nd and 7.

Rob said...

Timeout Huskies. Back to the Cotton Bowl, I go, where Snead just fumbled the football.

OSU has the ball at the Mississippi 40. Sloppy game by Ole Miss. 6 turnovers.

Rob said...

Touchdown Cowboys. Robinson hit Cooper sprinting along the sidelines. May have stepped out at the 3. Play will be reviewed. Should be 1st and goal at the 3 for OSU. Come on Rebels!

Rob said...

3rd and 7 from 10 for UConn. Inside handoff to Dixon. He scores. 19-0 UConn. PAT pending. Sloth Carolina is probably done.

PAT good. 20-0 UConn. What's going on here? An SEC team should never get whooped by UConn, of all people. Very disappointed in Sloth Carolina.

Rob said...

Meanwhile, it is 1st and goal for OSU at the Cotton Bowl. Cowboys call T.O. Ref said previous play is under further review. Guess I must have missed something. I thought they'd already reviewed it.

Rob said...

Toston to the 2. 2nd and goal. Toston to the 1. 3rd and goal for OSU.

Rob said...

Toston stuffed. 4th and goal.

Rob said...

T.O. OSU. Big decision. I'd go for it. Will we see another jump pass? I doubt it, but that'd be funny. Might be such a bad call, that it works. Surely, Ole Miss ain't expecting another one.

Rob said...

Goal line stand by Ole Miss. Toston gets stuffed again!! And... another commercial break. Come on Fox, this ain't an NFL broadcast. Let's keep the game moving.

Rob said...

Been gone for a bit. Just checked back in.

Interception by Ole Miss. Snead hits Hodge for a huge gain. Let's go Rebs! 1st and 15 after false start. Screen to McCluster gains 14.5 yards.

3rd and 1 for Rebels from OSU 11. McCluster to the 3. 1st and Goal.

Rob said...

False start makes it 1st and goal from 8.

Rob said...

Snead sacked by Ugo Chinasa. Cool name. Another sack by OSU. This time it's Blatnik and Chinasa.

3rd and goal from way back near the 23. Incomplete pass. Rebels will attempt a FG.

Rob said...

Shene misses again!!

Rob said...

Ole Miss just squandered a huge opportunity. Rebels had 1st and goal from 3 prior to false start. Then, suffered back to back sacks. After an incomplete pass, PK Joshua Shene continued his poor performance by missing another FG, this one from 39 yards out. Summerall just stated that Shene only missed 3 all year. What's going on?

Kendall Hunter just gained a ton of yards. OSU to the 30 yard line of Ole Miss.

Rob said...

Cowboys are knocking on the door. Zac Robinson to the 19.

Rob said...

Robinson makes a terrible throw. Pass intercepted by Ole Miss in the endzone. Huge break for Rebels.

Rob said...

Play is under review. 8:44 left and game is tied up at 7.

Rob said...

Call stands. Ole Miss gets ball on 20.

Rob said...

Snead avoids disaster. Almost fumbled on sneak. Poor exchange could have prohibited his effort on 3rd and short. Ole Miss punts.

And...yet another commercial break. Fox is getting their $ out of this game. That's for sure.

Rob said...

Robinson hits Blackmon for a gain of 8. Then, we have a fumble recovered by Ole Miss. Illegal shift declined. Rebels ball on the Cowboys 34. What a sloppy game. Snead hits #21 for 8 yards on 1st down.

Rob said...

McCluster stuffed. 3rd and 2 for Mississippi. Rebs outta go deep.

Rob said...

Forget that. Snead rushes for 1st down. Ole Miss knocking on the door.

Rob said...

McCluster stopped by Donald Booker. 2nd and 7 for Rebs. 4:20 to go.

Rob said...

Pass Interference on OSU. Rebs will be 1st and goal from 2.

Rob said...

McCluster SCORES!!

Rob said...

14-7 Miss with 4:03 left in Cotton Bowl.

Rob said...

Watch out for Kendall Hunter on the return. Good. Ole Miss stopped him at the 25.

Rob said...

Holding on OK State. That's gotta hurt the Cowboys. 1st and 17.

Rob said...

FUMBLE!! Trahan returns it for the score. Miss 20 OSU 7. Looked like the Cowboys hit big on a pass completion over the middle. But, a big hit jarred the ball loose. Trahan scooped up the ball and took it to the house. SEC! SEC! SEC!

21 to 7 Ole Miss. Let's go Rebels!

Rob said...

Great play by the Ole Miss defense. Don't know the name of the dude that knocked the ball loose. But, Patrick Trahan just made the play of his life.

2:58 and counting left in game.

Rob said...

Trahan strikes again! On 4th and 7, he intercepts the Zac Robinson pass. Rebels are going to win back to back Cotton Bowls.

Next up for the SEC...Petrino's pigs will play (actually they're already playing) ECU in the Liberty Bowl. Gotta pull for those Hogs. SEC needs another victory.
