Rumor is Tyler Wilson broken clavicle out at least 4 weeks. Score was 28-7 and backup QB could get nothing going. No way Ark beats Bama now ...probably loses next three or four with all the injuries.

Crazy...Ark hadn't found their season form yet, notable and many injuries, and ULM came to play. ULM and ULL have really improved over the last few years! Both used to be a preseason W by 30.

Well I guess John L. Smith just lost his bid to come back next year. That was a crazy ending to a crazy game. Sorry it had to happen to the Razorbacks since I do consider myself a mild Arkansas fan (family there, dad liked them, etc.). But, you have to hand it to ULM for not caving into the pressure which 90% of underdogs would in that situation.

Wow...that's too bad for the Hawgs. Those are not the games you expect to drop. :(

My bright side is that this upset alert turned into a 3 touchdown win for Ga.

I didn't get to watch it because I was on the road coming back from Augusta Ga for a wedding at Fort Gordon.....but I was keeping up with it on my iPhone ESPN app.

They looked terrible in the first half.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I've been around you guys long enough to where I tend to pull for your teams too. It was a horrible day for Arkansas football.

It was a weird day. The teams I thought needed to look out were fine and the teams I thought were safe found themselves in trouble. I thought I was tapped into the ether but I must have been huffing it.

Wisconsin I figured would stumble, they just didn't look good.

I guess I bought into the Martinez hype.

I know the only reason Arkansas went down was because of injuries. No way ULM hangs with a healthy Arkansas.

The backup QB looked completely flustered. There was no timing or rhythm going on with him and the offense. They also looked like they panicked down the stretch and in overtime. It's like the potential embarrassment was hanging in the back of their minds and they weren't concentrated on playing football. That was my take anyway.

Went to the Oregon State - Wisconsin game. Big upset. Oregon State held them and the whole game you felt at any moment Wisconsin would just break loose, but they didn't. OSU stayed disciplined and sealed the deal. I think they will win some more games and will be in the middle of the PAC10 this year. Wisconsin has problems....they never got it going....

Me too. I play college fantasy football and have a couple teams, one of which had Seth Doege of Texas Tech. I thought Texas State may not be your usual transitional FBS member considering how they dismantled Houston and I got the sense that the new TTU offense was going to be more run-oriented, so I thought it was a bad play. I picked up Martinez to take his place and then Doege throws 5 touchdowns :lol: . I lost the game by a slim margin if anybody cares to know :cry:

Looked at the Oklahoma State-Arizona box score this morning...

Nice upset call....but a combined 62 first downs? No defense.
