Robert Griffin III Injury: Baylor Quarterback Out With Possible Head Injury
Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III finished out the first half, but appears to be done for the day after suffering an apparent head injury. Griffin III was hit hard and appeared to be dazed late in the second quarter, but it was only after halftime that the symptoms forced him from the game.
Griffin was seen on the sideline in a ballcap coming out of the half. His helmet was taken away, which would appear to be a sign of a head injury. Additionally, the Baylor coaching staff burned the redshirt of quarterback Nick Florence, which would also seem to be a sign Griffin III is done for the day.

The teams have combined to go 3-of-15 on third downs, which means there is plenty of room for improvement in the second half of this contest. Of course, Brantley needs to stop throwing picks in order to make that truly happen for the Gators.

Over the last two years, South Carolina has begun to establish a little bit more of a toehold in a rivalry that used to be all Clemson. And by the looks of things in the first quarter of the annual tilt this year, the Gamecocks kind of like the feeling.

That has been one part of the Bulldogs’ dominance over the Rebels. Ole Miss has just 65 total offensive yards to the Bulldogs’ 252. The passing yards are 70-40 in favor of the Bulldogs, but with the way this game has gone so far the Bulldogs won’t need to throw much in the second half.
The Bulldogs are just 30 minutes away from capturing the Golden Egg and bowl eligibility.

Read Article >Egg Bowl 2011 Score: Mississippi State Leads Ole Miss, To No One’s Surprise
As the first quarter draws to a close on this year’s edition of the Egg Bowl, it’s Mississippi State that has staked itself to a lead -- an imposing enough one on the scoreboard, 14-0, but a more sizable 169-19 lead in total offense. The game is still a rivalry matchup, but the Bulldogs’ lead against what is almost certainly the worst team in the SEC shouldn’t really surprise anyone.
With a win, Mississippi State can still make it to a bowl game. As for Ole Miss -- well, many of their fans are probably just happy to put this season and head coach Houston Nutt behind them.

Read Article >Civil War 2011, Oregon Vs. Oregon State Final Score: Ducks Win; Book Ticket To Pac-12 Championship
Oregon is one step closer to the Rose Bowl after locking up a berth in the Pac-12 Championship with a convincing 49-21 win over rival Oregon State in the Civil War. But the win came at a price: running back LaMichael James left with his elbow wrapped in ice. Earlier this season, James went down with a dislocated right elbow, and appeared to be in serious pain after landing awkwardly again.
Besides the injury, it was another day at the office for the Ducks, who seemed to struggle early before hitting the gas and leaving Oregon State in the dust. A 21-point outburst in the second quarter, part of 35 unanswered points, was all Oregon needed to lock up the Pac-12 North title and a date with UCLA in the title game.

Auburn Vs. Alabama 2011 Final Score: No Iron Bowl Comeback This Time
Bama concludes its year with zero regulation losses and a solitary setback, which came against the nation’s top team. It’ll take either a human revolt or against the concept of a rematch or an astounding performance by OSU to thwart an all-SEC national championship game. It doesn’t appear that even a LSU loss in the SEC Championship can stop this train.

On October 9th of this year, the Illinois Illini stood at 6-0, and everyone thought, “Well, boy howdy were we wrong about Ron Zook. What a fine coach he is, and a shoo-in for future huzzahs and laurels!” Oh, my how wrong we were.
This is the first time this has happened in the recorded history of FBS college football. Ron Zook football’s maddening inconsistency isn’t just a matter of popular myth anymore. It is now part of the college football fossil record.

Despite having outgained Kansas by more than 150 yards at the end of the fourth quarter, Missouri is only leading by seven points, 17-10. In fact, Kansas is still flirting with the 100-yard mark in total offense for the game.

Read Article >LaMichael James Injury, Again: Left Wrist The Apparent Culprit
He was able to walk off the field, albeit slowly. On the sideline, his left forearm was being wrapped in ice by team medical personnel. There’s been no official word yet on the status or nature of his injury.
James, who’s meant so much to Oregon and became the school’s all-time leading scorer earlier in the evening, has proved himself capable of bouncing back from just about anything, but it’s hard to imagine how much more damage that wing can take.

Thomas would hit Barner for a 16 yard touchdown as the clock wound down, putting the Ducks up 28-7 at the half.
