LaPhonso Ellis: "The last 10 minutes will determine the game." Going out on a limb there!

That was a lucky finish. But when you're playing for one shot like that, at some point, I would think you've gotta get the ball in Green's hands.

There was even some contact after that shot. Could've been a potential four-point play.

Franklin made a dumb play dumber by fouling. But that's a freshman for you ...

Someone missed a box-out there.

Go up harder with that Devonte! That was an easy 2 if you just lay it in.

I think TJD walked there.

These are a handful of bowl projections for us that I've seen so far ... I haven't heard a couple of these sites/organizations (I just googled "bowl projections") CBS Sports: Pinstripe Bowl, vs Pittsburgh (Dec. 27, NYC) College Football News: Quick Lane Bowl, vs. Boston College (Dec. 26, Detroit) Sporting News: Redbox Bowl, vs. Washington (Dec. 30, Santa Clara, Calif.) USA Today: Gator Bowl, vs. Kentucky (Jan. 2, Jacksonville, Fla.) 247Sports: Gator Bowl, vs. Tennessee (Jan. 2, Jacksonville, Fla.) dratings.com: Quick Lane Bowl, vs. Miami of Ohio (Dec. 26, Detroit) Chat sports: Gator Bowl, vs. Tennessee (Jan. 2, Jacksonville, Fla.)

Looks as if Schiano is going back to Rutgers after all ... Will be interesting to see how this works ... It seems coaching reduxes don't always work out so well: John Robinson at Southern Cal, Petrino at Lousiville, Edsall at UConn (so far).

I know March is a long way off, but I'd love to see this team get past the first weekend of the NCAAs. I think that's a realistic goal -- one that I don't believe we've accomplished before.

South Carolina ended up beating Baylor by 15 tonight. So we beat USC by double digits, Baylor beat us by double digits and USC beat Baylor by double digits. ... Kinda interesting.

My pick's a little late, but I'm going with Hoosiers 44, Toiletmakers 41 and I think it'll go overtime!

Believe me, I have. I think it just boils down to an inferiority complex. They're obsessed with us. Last season, I decided to watch a little of their bowl game. I didn't really care who won; I just thought I'd watch a quarter or so before I had to go to work. But at the opening kickoff, the PU fans chanted "IU sucks" -- and you could hear it on TV. Keep in mind, this was a bowl game -- I believe in Nashville -- against Auburn. Had absolutely nothing to do with IU. After that, I was the biggest Tigers fan. And boy, did they whip the Toiletmakers' a$$. Made my day.

That's all fine and dandy, but Good Lord -- teach these guys some fundamentals and instill some discipline.

I have a bunch of family members and friends who went to PU and are obnoxious about the rivalry. I'm too embarrassed to gloat about this one!

Glad to get the win. But whoo, boy -- that was ridiculous. Had we lost, I might have rated that up there with losing to North Texas as the most embarrassing loss in a good, long while.

And of course, they score a TD.

I'm pretty surprised we didn't get a flag on that third-down play!

You gotta be kidding me! Did that really just happen?

Not sure he could've caught it anyway, but that's the textbook definition of pass interference.

Exactly. All the "rah-rah" stuff and cheering and great motivational speeches gets you absolutely nothing if you can't tackle, can't cover anyone, can't block, continue to commit stupid penalties and make ludicrous mistakes. Motivation and emotion don't mean diddly. It's fundamentals and intelligence and discipline that wins football games.

When you tackle him, keep him IN BOUNDS! This team ...

Why does he go barreling, head-first into the QB like that? SO DAMN STUPID! WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO FRIGGIN' DISCIPLINE! THIS IS SHAMEFUL!

Why are just heaving the ball downfield? Run the ball like normal -- sustain a drive, eat some clock and get a winning FG. Three and out? Are you kidding me? We're gonna lose this -- and it should go down as one of the worst losses we've had.

Is there any reason Brohm isn't getting an unsportsmanlike penalty -- or at least a warning? If that were CTA, he'd have been sent to the locker room by now.
