Maisel's 3-point stance

[BGSUfanatUT]

Tuesday, Oct. 5
1. I'm as big a fan of neutral-site games as the next fan, but without getting Florida between the hedges, Georgia has a very strange schedule. The Dawgs' last SEC home game is next week against Vandy. Four of their last five games are away from Athens, which will surely test the Bulldogs' maturity.

2. Maurice Drew of UCLA and Anthony Davis of Wisconsin are listed at 5-foot-8. Ryan Moats of Louisiana Tech towers over them at 5-9. They're also three of the best backs in the nation. I guess it's true: The bigger the linemen, the tougher it is to find those squirrelly guys darting around behind them.

3. Speaking of short guys, if Taylor Stubblefield of Purdue is 6-1, then I'm Queen Elizabeth's long lost son. From Alabama. But Stubblefield runs routes with an engineer's precision, and -- listen up, Wolverines -- he doesn't drop passes.



Prehaps he doesnt remember the BG game last season... clock runnign down, down by 3, hit in the hands.....NO DICE STUBS!

Oh, class of 61, hammb, Ham0331 and myself sure remember that!

Best game I've ever been to in my life.

However, I will never forget that Purdue had a chance to put us away EARLY in that game. One of their WRs had about 10 steps on Patton on a deep ball and Orton hit him on the hands. I don't remember if it was Stubblefield or Standeford, but they dropped the ball that would've been a guaranteed TD and would've put Purdue up by a couple scores early.

I still look back at that play being the biggest play in the game. If that kid makes the catch it could've done so much to our psyche and possibly changed our gameplan. Instead he drops it, they punt, and BG starts to believe they can play w/ Purdue.

Of course that catch by Sharon in the endzone was pretty big too

I think it would be fun if John Wagner had asked him in that interview:

"C'mon, Chuck, level with us: Did you you *really* catch it?"

I've seen the replay dozens of times. I can't follow what happened on that play. I have no idea how the refs figured out so quickly he caught it.

[BGSUfanatUT]

probably b/c chuck would have terminated their life functions had they said he didnt catch it.

Simple fact, they never saw the ball hit the ground, and if both the defensive and offensive players catch the ball together, it is counted as a catch and not an interception.
