10 Weekly Prayer for New Mexico – This week, there is no bad news for New Mexico. Of course most of that stems from not playing. The other is that there is a legitimate chance to get a victory on the schedule somehow. Just see number two at the end of this post.
9 Enduring Penn St. football – Just know that announcing you are turning to the Penn St. game on twitter gets you many tweets of either condolences o why would you torture yourself tweets. Yes it is that unwatchable in part because the Penn St. quarterbacks are awful and in part because the Penn St. defense is good enough that everyone else's quarterbacks look awful. At this point, I would recommend avoiding the Penn St.-Ohio St. game at all costs.
8 The UCLA Quarterback plague strikes again – UCLA quarterbacks are evidently made of glass. Let me edit that since that would be an insult to glass, which must be hit harder to shatter than any UCLA quarterback since 2006. In the Bruins game against Washington St., Richard Brehaut broke his leg. This marks the 7th time in the last 3 years the UCLA starting quarterback has not finished a game due to injury. On top of that, there have been practice injuries and preseason injuries at the position and many of those have been non-contact injuries. One of many reasons UCLA is doomed.
7 Joe Bauserman, sign you're doomed – Ohio St. backup quarterback Joe Bauserman is an awful quarterback. He lack athletic ability, arm strength and accuracy. Nowhere was this more evident than in his 1-10 with an interception performance in relief of injured Braxton Miller while Nebraska was completing the largest comeback in school history. Worse yet, the completion was the first pass. Efficiency rating: .92
6 Offsides, on the kicker... - It takes a 'special' kind of talent to get this penalty. To the video we go...
Final five after the jump including the LSU punter celebration penalty and negative quarterbacking
5 Of all people the Australian punter?!? - I think most have seen this, but still where was the penalty on this play? Also, why are we picking on poor Australian punters like this. This was his only chance to ever score and our stupid SEC refs took it away from him (maybe not given that his coach is Les Miles and this wasn't even a called fake punt, Florida just vacated and he took off).
4 Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge, enjoying quarterback hell – I just feel sorry for this announcing crew. They had the Penn St.-Alabama game with the Penn St. quarterback debacle. They also got the Ohio St.-Miami game where Ohio St. didn't complete a pass for a first down until under two minutes remained in the game. Then this last week they got to sit through Auburn's 9-25, 104 yd 3 INT masterpiece. Their reward: they get that bad Auburn passing game again this week, against Florida, starting its 3rd quarterback. Ugh.
3 2nd down and 56 – I'll just let the screenshot speak for me and move along
2 UNLV, everything except that part about forcing turnovers – UNLV forced five turnovers against rival Nevada. Normally this means you won the game or were at least competitive. Your team isn't UNLV. The Rebels lost 37-0 but that doesn't do this justice. No, losing 37-0 while forcing five turnovers doesn't do justice to how bad this was. To the total yardage numbers: Nevada 699, UNLV 110. UNLV pass efficiency: -2.34. Yes, UNLV quarterback Caleb Herring was worse than Bauserman and any Penn St. quarterback all season. That's hard to do.
1 It would take a pretty heinous effort to top UNLV, but that what Lowlight mainstay Kentucky is for – Losing 54-3 to South Carolina alone wouldn't get to number one on this list normally. Because South Carolina is good, even getting outgained 639-96 wouldn't get to number one on its own. Then you see these passing numbers as a team: 4-26, 17 yards, 4 INTs. Yes that is throwing as many passes to the other team as to your own and good for a passer rating of -9.89. Even UNLV can laugh at these number (heck so can New Mexico, whose one strength this season is kinda being able to throw the football).
