Arkansas vs. Texas A&M: Game Grades, Analysis for Razorbacks, Aggies
The Texas A&M Aggies were able to rebound from a two-touchdown deficit to upend the Arkansas Razorbacks by a score of 35-28 on Saturday.
Kenny "Trill" Hill threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns in the win. Although the talented signal-caller started slowly, he came through when his team needed him the most.
It was a tough loss for Arkansas. Bret Bielema's team was the better side for the majority of the afternoon. However, foolish penalties and mental errors ultimately extended the Hogs' streak of losses in SEC play to 14.
A full box score can be found here, courtesy of NCAA.com.
Check out first-half grades and final grades for the Aggies and Razorbacks. Additional analysis for different positional units will also be addressed.
Arkansas Razorbacks Game Grades Analysis
Passing Offense
The play-action game was working very effectively through the first three quarters. Brandon Allen found elite tight end Hunter Henry early and often. Allen made a beautiful touchdown throw to A.J. Derby for a 44-yard touchdown.
As the game progressed, the A&M pressure was hindering the signal-caller's ability to stand in the pocket. Although efficient throughout the contest, Allen wasn't able to truly test the Aggies defense down the field.
Pass Defense
The unit in the first half was very good. Cornerbacks were challenging the vaunted A&M stable of receivers, making it difficult to get separation. Holding Hill to 96 yards passing in one half is an impressive feat.
It was a different story in the second portion of the game. A&M scored on touchdown throws of 86 and 59 yards. A busted coverage also led to a 50-yard completion. It was a tale of two halves for the secondary.
Rushing Offense
In terms of a rushing output, racking up 285 yards on the ground versus the No. 6 team in the country is very good. Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams combined for more than 220 yards and two touchdowns.
If we're including the offensive line within this unit, there were some flubs. A poor snap to Allen late in the fourth quarter killed the last drive, ultimately leading to the missed field goal.
A bizarre tripping penalty by tackle Dan Skipper wiped out a touchdown. The potential score would have put the Razorbacks up by three touchdowns late in the second half. False-start penalties also hindered the offense and put Allen behind the chains.
Rush Defense
The unit as a whole was relatively solid. It bottled up Trey Williams, holding him to 26 yards on nine carries. More than anything, it got consistent pressure on Hill. Trey Flowers in particular was a force all afternoon.
As the afternoon wore on, the pressure lessened. Tra Carson was able to pick up big chunks of yardage. Much like the team, the unit somewhat wilted in the fourth quarter. A&M rushed for 137 yards on 27 carries for a respectable 5.1 yards-per-carry average.
Special Teams
The fake punt for a touchdown by Sam Irwin-Hill was a wonderful play. Not only did the Australian punter display some surprising quickness and elusiveness in space, but the touchdown gave the team a lot of momentum.
Unfortunately for the Razorbacks, kicker John Henson badly missed a 44-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter. The score would have put Arkansas up by 10 points with less than two minutes remaining. As we know, the miss proved to be costly.
Kudos to Bielema for devising a solid plan. The fake punt call was a truly brilliant move.
In the second half (namely the fourth quarter), the play-calling was strange. Clock management was the biggest issue on the day for the staff.
Arkansas has the identity of being a running team. Late in the fourth quarter, the team decided to throw the football. It resulted in incompletions, which ultimately gave A&M a chance to equalize.
Texas A&M Aggies Game Grades Analysis
Passing Offense
Hill started the game very slowly. He went 10-of-22 for 96 yards in the first half. Arkansas did a nice job of driving the tempo way down. As a result, Hill and the offense weren't able to get into any sort of a rhythm.
In the second half, the pace picked up considerably. Hill was able to make throws down the field to his talented receivers. Impressive touchdown throws to Edward Pope and Josh Reynolds displayed Hill's immense ability in terms of both touch and arm strength. He finished 21-of-41 for 386 yards and four touchdowns.
Pass Defense
The Aggies got bitten by the play-action bug. With Arkansas running the ball so well in the first half, safeties were forced to play up closer to the line of scrimmage. The unit was burned by a big 44-yard touchdown reception to Derby.
Safety Armani Watts in particular had a tough day. He had problems diagnosing the play on the touchdown throw and also had issues tackling the likes of Williams and Collins.
Rushing Offense
Rushing for 5.1 yards per carry is a solid output against a good defensive front. Hill wasn't really involved running the football until late in the contest.
Carson looks like a very good option going forward. As a big, physical back, he helped to get tough yardage. The Oregon transfer led the team with 55 yards on eight carries.
Rush Defense
Giving up 285 yards on the ground is never good. Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams were giving the young defensive front fits for most of the day. Collins in particular was extremely effective, tallying 131 yards on the day.
In the second half, however, the defensive line was more effective in getting off blocks. Arkansas had 198 yards rushing in the first half but only 88 after halftime. This is a case where the statistical output doesn't necessarily tell the entire story. A&M stiffened when it needed to and made critical stops.
Special Teams
Allowing the fake punt touchdown run obviously wasn't a great development. The score occurred right before halftime, giving Arkansas a ton of momentum. Curiously, the very reliable Josh Lambo missed a very makeable field goal from 40 yards.
This wasn't the best day for the Aggies' special teams unit.
Hill was having trouble dealing with the Arkansas pressure early. The play-calling had the signal-caller exclusively sitting in the pocket. Getting him on the move could have helped to combat the Arkansas defensive line.
In the second half, the play-calling was much better. A&M was taking shots down the field and also rolling Hill out in order to buy time to throw the ball. Defensively, A&M put the clamps down on the Arkansas rushing attack in the second half.
After allowing nearly 200 yards rushing in the first half, the Aggies allowed only 87 after the break.

Baylor QB Bryce Petty Hurdles Iowa State Defender En Route to End Zone
Quarterbacks aren't always viewed as the most athletic players on the field, but Baylor's Bryce Petty is an exception to that stereotype.
When an Iowa State defender tried to tackle the Bears quarterback before he reached the end zone, Petty hurdled his way over him and across the goal line.
The touchdown gave Baylor a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

California and Colorado QBs Put Up Identical Stats in Double-Overtime Thriller
The California Golden Bears and the Colorado Buffaloes played a double-overtime thriller at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. If you think the double overtime indicated that it was a pretty even game, wait until you see the stats each team's quarterback put up.
Check out the numbers for Colorado's Sefo Liufau and Cal's Jared Goff:
That's as even as it gets.
Liufau added 72 rushing yards on 10 carries, so he was responsible for more total yards of offense than his counterpart. However, Goff's team came away with a 59-56 victory.
Another big stat from the evening:

Kenny Hill Shows He Has Johnny Manziel's Magic in Comeback Win
We knew Kenny Hill was talented. We knew he was prolific.
What we didn't know was how he would respond when he was challenged—when he and Texas A&M were backed into a corner. It was bound to happen at some point in the SEC season. We just didn't know when.
Saturday, that moment came against a plucky Arkansas team at the Southwest Classic inside AT&T Stadium.
And Hill's response has to have Aggie fans ecstatic for what lies ahead for the rest of the 2014 season.
Hill and the A&M offense erased a two-touchdown fourth-quarter deficit with a pair of long touchdowns, and the No. 6 Aggies used that momentum in overtime to secure a 35-28 victory.
Hill completed 21 of 41 passes for 386 yards with four touchdowns against one interception, but most importantly, he didn't look fazed under pressure.
That was a trait his predecessor, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel (who watched from the Aggies' sideline Saturday), had in spades. While Hill looked incredibly impressive in setting an A&M single-game passing-yardage record in the season-opening 52-28 rout of then-No. 8 South Carolina (breaking the Gamecocks' 18-game home winning streak), A&M was never really tested.
That wasn't the case Saturday. The Houston Chronicle's Brent Zwerneman shared Hill's comments about the team's overall performance:
Through three quarters, Arkansas led 28-14, and while Hill had two touchdowns against one interception, he had been a bit uneven. And given the Razorbacks' propensity to control the ball on the ground, that deficit looked a lot bigger than two touchdowns.
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Hill changed the equation with an 86-yard touchdown pass to Edward Pope, cutting the deficit to a score.
Arkansas had a chance to all but ice the game with under three minutes to play, but a missed field goal gave A&M another chance.
That was not smart.
This time, Josh Reynolds turned an intermediate pass and a bad Arkansas secondary angle into a 59-yard touchdown and a tie game.
In overtime, Hill threw a beautiful 25-yard strike to Malcome Kennedy for what turned out to be the game-winner.
Under pressure, he was unflappable, and it was exactly what A&M needed.
"I can't say enough about the guys," Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin told CBS' Allie LaForce afterward, speaking in general about his team. "It was a real test for us to come back from behind and keep playing the way we did with a bunch of young guys. It was a heck of a ballgame."
A&M will face bigger tests in October. Over the next three weeks, the Aggies travel to No. 14 Mississippi State, host No. 10 Ole Miss and travel to No. 3 Alabama. That's the beauty of undoubtedly the nation's toughest division: Over the course of a season, your flaws will be exposed, and you'll have to improve.
Hill found that out Saturday, and he and his teammates will only be better for it moving forward.

Minnesota vs. Michigan: Game Grades and Analysis for the Wolverines
That's the only way that this Michigan loss, the most recent in a string of dissatisfying efforts, can be described. Instead of competing during its Big Ten opener against Minnesota, Team 135 was again dumped by a team that it was supposed to beat.
The Wolverines (2-3) face several crossroads, one of them being at quarterback. During his postgame presser, coach Brady Hoke said that the position would be "reevaluated" this week after sophomore Shane Morris completed just seven of 19 attempts for 49 yards.
Get the official box score at NCAA.com.
Pass Offense
Morris completed a 14-yard pass, but that was it for the kid with the golden arm. The former 5-star recruit got his first real taste of Big Ten action, and it wasn't exactly a successful outing. Sustaining several hits, Morris was visibly in pain late in the fourth quarter.
That play pretty much summed up the day's events. It was not pretty, whatsoever.
Pass Defense
The Gophers didn't go full-out air show Saturday, but Mitch Leidner, their quarterback, was effective in a timely manner. He hooked up with Maxx Williams for the door-slammer in the third quarter, giving Minnesota a commanding 27-7 advantage. He ended the day with 167 passing yards, too.
He was sacked thrice, but he walked away with The Little Brown Jug.
Run Offense
This is getting tiresome. Each week is the same thing. De'Veon Smith and Derrick Green combined for very little Saturday. But Smith had a 10-yard touchdown run that gave Michigan its first offensive touchdown since Week 3 versus Miami (Ohio).
Smith led the charge with 57 yards (long of 28). Gardner had 34, Justice Hayes had 10 and Green had eight.
Run Defense
David Cobb quietly carved the Wolverines defense, which had allowed just 1.83 yards per carry in the three previous games. The superstar Gophers bulldozer almost had his third 200-yard game of the season. And he's only played five games.
Cobb needed just one half to set a new high (low) for Greg Mattison's run defense, which allowed just 54 yards to Notre Dame in Week 2.
Special Teams
This will be the only positive grade. Matt Wile pinned Minnesota just feet away from its goal line with 2:17 to play in the first half. Will Hagerup finished the night with 400 punting yards.
But it's never a good sign when your punter "outgains" your offense.
After the loss, Hoke insisted that he's not losing his grip.
Take that for what it's worth.

Ohio State Strength Coach Slams Fan Who Charged Field to the Ground
Anthony Schlegel doesn't play for Ohio State anymore, but the Buckeyes strength coach isn't afraid to make a tackle if someone decides to run onto the field.
During the Cincinnati-Ohio State game on Saturday night, the former Buckeye—and NFL—linebacker stepped up to restore order after a fan charged the field.
Schlegel threw the fan down to the Ohio Stadium turf, proving he can still make a play when called upon.
The tackle created an awesome picture:

Kenny Hill vs. Arkansas: Stat Line, Highlights, Twitter Reaction
Kenny Hill took another step toward securing his place in Texas A&M football history at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday as he led the Aggies to a comeback win over the Arkansas Razorbacks 35-28 in overtime.
After what could be described as a pedestrian performance for three quarters, the super sophomore showcased the most important quarterback quality of them all—moxie. After throwing an interception with 9:34 left in the final frame, Hill took it upon himself to rally the Aggies, per TexAgs:
It was a promise he was prepared to deliver. With the Razorbacks unable to run out the clock, Hill connected with Edward Pope and Josh Reynolds on touchdown passes of 86 and 59 yards, respectively, to force the game into a 28-28 tie.
Then, as if that weren't clutch enough, he found Malcome Kennedy from 25 yards out to go up 35-28 on the first play of overtime, as noted by CBS Sports:
Here's a look at Hill's stat line from the gutsy performance:
There are holes to poke in that stat line, sure. You'd like to see Hill's completion percentage be much higher than the 51.2 percent he posted against Arkansas. However, as Sports Illustrated pointed out, the second half set up nicely for Hill to have a Heisman moment, and he didn't back down:
Of course, for how great Hill is, as long as he wears the maroon of the Aggies, he'll be compared with his predecessor. Johnny Manziel was on hand to give the sophomore some encouragement, per Mark Passwaters of Rivals.com:
Sports Illustrated also noted the slight similarities between Hill and Johnny Football. The new Aggies quarterback might not tuck and run as much as the former Heisman winner, but he showed he could make things happen with his feet when he has to:
It might be a little early to be giving Hill legitimate Heisman hype just yet. We aren't even to the halfway point of the season, and he will be tested by three ranked teams in his next three games. But if Hill is able to continue putting up performances like this with the game on the line, it's hard to imagine he'll leave College Station without a Heisman campaign on his resume.

Louisiana Tech vs. Auburn: Game Grades, Analysis for the Tigers
The Auburn Tigers battled their way to a 45-17 victory on Saturday over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, improving to 4-0 as a daunting conference slate awaits Gus Malzahn's team.
A 28-point difference was not indicative of the offensive struggles Auburn encountered, but the Tigers still put together a superb showing.
Pass Offense
While Nick Marshall threw just three passes during the second quarter, two resulted in touchdowns. The senior went 10-of-17 overall, tallying 166 yards and connecting with his receivers in the end zone three times.
Wide receiver Quan Bray had the best performance, snaring three passes for 91 yards and two scores. Sammie Coates had a quiet day, but Duke Williams and C.J. Uzomah both added a touchdown grab.
Run Offense
Auburn didn't need to pass much because the ground game was so effective. Marshall sliced his way through the Louisiana Tech defense with the read-option attack, amassing 105 yards on just 13 attempts.
Cameron Artis-Payne continued his strong season, bullying his way to 116 yards and one touchdown. The Tigers will rely on him during SEC action.
Pass Defense
Right away, Auburn's front seven established itself as a difference-making unit. The Tigers batted down three balls on the first two drives, and lineman Montravius Adams even snagged an interception and almost returned it for a touchdown.
Louisiana Tech receiver Trent Taylor had success in the slot, catching eight passes for 80 yards. Auburn needs to tighten up that area but gave a solid collective performance against quarterback Cody Sokol.
Run Defense
The Bulldogs' star running back Kenneth Dixon entered the game with a 100-yard-plus average, but the Tigers limited him to 29 yards on 14 carries.
Although Jarred Craft ripped off a long run, Louisiana Tech trudged its way to 3.2 yards per attempt. Building off this success will be crucial since the likes of LSU, Georgia and Alabama await.
Special Teams
Daniel Carlson converted all six extra points and nailed a 25-yard field goal, but he pushed an attempt from 41 wide right. Additionally, he averaged 38.5 per punt.
Bray took a punt back 76 yards to seal the game, yet he wasn't the only effective returner: Marcus Davis averaged 15.5, too.
Gus Malzahn's offense is not completely clicking yet, but he and coordinator Rhett Lashlee always put the streaky Marshall in a good position to succeed. When Auburn started to control the line of scrimmage during the second quarter, the offense focused on running the ball—and it excelled.
Defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson had his unit well-prepared for a balanced Louisiana Tech attack. The Tigers controlled the line of scrimmage, disrupted runs and pressured Sokol throughout the victory.

Florida State vs. North Carolina State: Game Grades, Analysis for the Seminoles
It wasn't pretty, but the outcome sure was if you're a Florida State fan. The No. 1 Seminoles rallied from a 17-point deficit Saturday night and earned a 56-41 win at North Carolina State for the program's 20th consecutive victory.
Carter-Finley Stadium had been a house of horrors for the Seminoles (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) over the years, but in beating the Wolfpack (4-1, 0-1), they kept their national title chances intact.
As far as grades are concerned, I was tough on Florida State's pass defense, which had too many busted plays and allowed Jacoby Brissett to have a coming-out party on national television. Conversely, I was critical of the FSU running game but thought that it did a remarkable job in the second half of bouncing back and looking like a strong unit for the first time this season.
Complete grades and analysis are listed below.
Pass Offense
I would have given Jameis Winston an A-plus, but he made two big mistakes on both of his interceptions that could have wound up costing FSU the game—in particular, his turnover late in the contest when the Seminoles had secured the victory.
But it is hard to find many faults in Winston's game. After his one-game suspension, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner was up to his old tricks, putting passes in perfect spots for his receivers to make plays, effectively running the offense and orchestrating another victory.
Winston finished the night with 365 yards and four touchdowns. He has never lost a college game, and no matter how the rest of this season plays out, FSU is never out of the game when Winston is running the show.
Run Offense
FSU's rushing attack has been a sore spot through the first three games of the season, but that wasn't the case in the second half on Saturday night.
After managing just 16 yards on 12 carries in the first two quarters, FSU exploded on the ground in the second half. Karlos Williams led the effort with a career-best three touchdown runs to go along with his 126 yards, while Dalvin Cook added 45 yards.
As a team, FSU ran for a season-high 168 yards. For a team that needs its running game to get going, the second half was a good first step in regaining the explosive form of a typical Jimbo Fisher offense.
Pass Defense
Florida State led the entire country in interceptions a season ago, but this year the 'Noles haven't had the same luck when it comes to generating takeaways through the air.
FSU was unable to stop Brissett from slinging the football all over the field, as the former University of Florida quarterback threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns.
The Seminoles have one of the best secondaries in the nation but didn't play like it Saturday night.
Rush Defense
Outside of a long Brissett scramble at the end of the first half, Florida State did an excellent job of corralling a very good Wolfpack running game.
Despite playing without nose guard Nile Lawrence-Stample and perhaps college football's best run-game defensive end in Mario Edwards Jr., the Seminoles weren't beaten on the ground. FSU did a good job of limiting any big NC State plays on the ground all night.
Take away Brissett's 36-yard scramble, and the Wolfpack's 161 rushing yards dwindle to 125 yards on the night—a very manageable number for this type of game.
Special Teams
Roberto Aguayo was once again perfect on extra points, and Cason Beatty wasn't terrible punting the football, but Florida State gets a C-minus on special teams because of some poor decisions and lack of production in the return game.
Kermit Whitfield managed just 18.7 yards per return on kickoffs, while Bobo Wilson did have one 34-yard return. Most surprising, though, was Greene's mental errors returning punts. On one return he called fair catch and then tried to return the ball, which drew a flag; then he muffed a punt in the second half that led to an NC State score just three plays later.
Greene is FSU's best wide receiver, but he is lucky those two plays didn't haunt the 'Noles more than they did.
Like they did a week ago against Clemson, Fisher and his staff did a masterful job of making halftime adjustments and correcting the issues that were plaguing the team.
This victory was Fisher's first in three tries at Carter-Finley Stadium, and his improvement as a head coach and game manager since the 17-16 loss at NC State in 2012 is staggering.

Jameis Winston vs. NC State: Stat Line, Highlights, Twitter Reaction
Returning from his one-game suspension, Jameis Winston saved the top-ranked Florida State Seminoles from suffering a stunning upset to North Carolina State. In a close call, Winston helped Florida State overcome an early deficit to earn a 56-41 victory.
After missing last week's overtime victory over Clemson for yelling a vulgar obscenity on campus, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner had a strong yet inconsistent day for the Seminoles. He needed every yard and score from his gaudy box score to fend off the hungry Wolfpack.
The News & Observer's Ethan Hyman snapped a shot of Winston passionately returning to the field for Saturday's game.
The Seminoles suffered a rocky start, but Winston wasn't the prime culprit. He ended the first quarter with 111 yards and a touchdown, but the defense allowed 24 first-quarter points to NC State. Florida State surrendered 520 yards throughout the day, putting its No. 1 slot in jeopardy despite producing a victory.
Perhaps the near upset should not come as a major surprise, considering NC State's string of success in the ACC rivalry game, per College GameDay.
Early on, opposing quarterback Jacoby Brissett stole the show, matching wits with the Heisman winner with 166 passing yards and two touchdowns during the opening half. Bleacher Report's Brandon Mellor marveled at the unheralded signal-caller maximizing Saturday's spotlight.
Winston began the second half unceremoniously, throwing an interception off his back foot. Pack Pride delivered video of the play on Twitter.
The New Orleans Advocate's Nick Underhill chastised him for the poor play.
Late in the third quarter, he redeemed himself by firing two touchdowns within three minutes of each other, benefiting from a NC State turnover for a short field the second time around. Rashad Greene snatched the second score, which Winston fired into a small space.
Given the ball back again, Winston almost surrendered his third turnover of the day, throwing a deep ball into tight coverage. FSU fans exhaled, while NC State lamented that it amounted to no more than an incomplete pass.
Just when an 11-point lead looked safe after Brissett's second fumble, Winston gave the ball right back, again to Jerod Fernandez. FanSided gave us a look at this one.
As Jimbo Fisher screamed at his quarterback on the sideline, TheBigLead.com's Jason McIntyre criticized him on Twitter.
NC State pounced on the turnover and cut the lead to eight. A key sack put the squad in golden position to get the ball back, but Winston scrambled for a 20-yard gain on 3rd-and-long. Karlos Williams sealed the deal with a late touchdown.
The Seminoles remain undefeated, but will they remain on top of the college football mountain? While FSU trailed, ESPN's Dari Nowkhah stated that a comeback should not save its No. 1 standing.
Will he stand by that opinion after FSU escaped with a win? More importantly, how will the voters feel?
Despite all the points FSU surrendered, Winston played well on the winning end of a shootout. NFL Philosophy evaluated his strong field presence.
That was one of few kind comments directed Winston's way on Twitter. As noted by NFL.com Chase Goodbread, Winston's actions combined with the desire to see David take down Goliath made NC State the protagonist.
Then again, nobody is questioning his on-field ability. Instead, character issues in light of everything off the field will concern NFL teams. Speaking on The Dan Patrick Show, former head coach Tony Dungy said he wouldn't use a high pick on Winston, via NBC on Yahoo Sports. "As of now, I wouldn't. I'd have to do a lot of research and go in and talk to him," Dungy said. "But you don't want the face of your franchise and the guy you're going to take with one of the top five picks to have all those off-the-field issues. You just don't."
During a tumultuous season, Winston has completed 69.5 percent of his passes for 991 yards, seven passing touchdowns and four interceptions. Last week's suspension derailed his chances of winning the Heisman in back-to-back years, but his strong game on Saturday keeps alive Florida State's chances of another championship run.

Jacoby Brissett vs. FSU: Stat Line, Highlights, Twitter Reaction
North Carolina State junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett may not have been a household name entering Saturday's clash against No. 1 Florida State, but after a remarkable performance in a 56-41 loss to the nation's top team, that will change.
Brissett's brilliant showing yielded this stat line:
The 6'4", 231-pound signal-caller didn't take long to make his presence felt against the Seminoles. After his first pass of the game to David Grinnage went for 21 yards, he evaded a pass-rusher and let one loose down the middle of the field, hitting Bo Hines in stride en route to a 51-yard touchdown.
Here's a great look at the play, via Pack Pride:
After just two passes, perhaps the Florida Gators began to feel the effects of the quarterback's departure—Brissett spent two years there before transferring to North Carolina State. Kevin Brockway of GatorSports.com seemed to think so:
Later in the first quarter, Brissett went back to work. After a 45-yard completion to Grinnage brought the Wolfpack within striking distance, the quarterback showed his ability to shed would-be tacklers once more, evading two defenders and hitting Johnathan Alston for an eight-yard touchdown.
Here's a look at Brissett's ridiculous strength and mobility:
ESPN ACC tweeted an interesting comparison following the play:
Through the first half, Brissett's numbers were very impressive. In fact, he was faring better than Florida State's Jameis Winston to that point. Here's a look at their side-by-side stats, via 120 Sports:
With his team clinging to a three-point lead early in the third quarter, Brissett performed his best magic trick of the day. North Carolina State's offensive line crumbled, allowing the quarterback to be swarmed by defenders. Somehow, someway, he managed to get a pass off to Matt Dayes while sitting atop a fallen pass-rusher. The play went for eight yards.
Seeing is believing for this one. Take a look at his heads-up play, courtesy of The Score:
ESPN ACC's tweet following that play pretty much summed up how every single onlooker felt in that moment:
Later in the drive—which included a Brissett 19-yard scramble out of a collapsing pocket—the Wolfpack offense faced a 1st-and-goal on the Seminoles' 10-yard line. Brissett delivered a perfect strike to Dayes, capping off one of the most brilliantly engineered drives we've seen from any quarterback this season.
SportsCenter tweeted Brissett's updated stats following the score:
Finding himself under continuous pressure, Brissett was sacked and stripped of the football late in the third quarter. This allowed the Seminoles to take their first lead of the game. Later, utilizing quick, underneath throws, Brissett orchestrated a methodical drive deep into Florida State territory yet again. However, the rush got to him one more time, forcing another fumble which was recovered by the Seminoles.
Although, after a Winston interception, Brissett was given another chance. A 13-yard completion to Alston kicked things off, but the quarterback was briefly injured after a five-yard scamper on second down. After an incomplete pass by backup quarterback Garrett Leatham on third down, the team settled for a field goal.
Unfortunately for Brissett and the Wolfpack, Florida State was effective enough on the ensuing drive to kill most of the clock—and the Wolfpack's hopes of an upset—with a solid running game that produced another Seminoles touchdown.
Despite the loss, the future looks bright for Brissett. He was already performing well heading into Saturday's contest, completing 69.7 percent of his passes this season for 1,005 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception for a rating of 166.7. Now, Brissett proved he can produce against difficult opposition.
ESPN ACC tweeted one final comment upon the game's conclusion:
After his brilliant performance in the national spotlight, we'll be hearing his name more often.
Looking at the Wolfpack's remaining schedule, games at Clemson and Louisville will be challenging; however, considering the way Brissett has been playing, there's no denying the possibility of this team winning out. If that turns out to be the case, we may also hear his name mentioned in Heisman discussions.
With seven games left on North Carolina State's slate this season, we can expect this human highlight reel to provide plenty more fireworks.

Arkansas vs. Texas A&M: Score and Twitter Reaction
Texas A&M came back from down 14 points in the fourth quarter to earn a 35-28 overtime win over Arkansas in a neutral game at AT&T Stadium.
After a rough start to the day, Kenny Hill came through with 386 passing yards and four touchdowns, including three long scores in the fourth quarter and overtime.
The Aggies were expecting an easier time against the only unranked team in the SEC West, but a furious comeback and 523 yards of offense were enough to secure the win. This gave the Razorabacks their 14th conference loss in a row with the last win coming on Oct. 13, 2012.
Alex Collins had a strong effort in defeat with 132 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Quarterback Brandon Allen finished with 199 passing yards and a touchdown in the loss.
ESPN's Paul Finebaum looks ahead for Arkansas:
With former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel in attendance, this game had all the signs of a high-scoring battle in the early going. Texas A&M scored on the first drive after a big kickoff return by Trey Williams. It took only four plays before Brandon Williams was able to get into the end zone on a 13-yard run.
Arkansas answered right back, though, with Collins and Jamaal Williams doing work on the ground before tying the game up at 7-7.
The two sides continued to trade shots over the next few drives as the score doubled to 14-14, including a 50-yard touchdown run by Collins.
However, the defense picked up from there as Arkansas did an amazing job limiting the big-time Texas A&M offense. Jon Solomon of CBS Sports provides a look at some interesting stats at the half:
Benjamin Allbright of Yahoo Sports discussed the surprising numbers between a Heisman candidate and a game manager:
Of course, the biggest play of the first half came on a fake punt on fourth-and-10, which punter Sam Irwin-Hill took all the way for a 51-yard touchdown.
This gave the Razorbacks a 21-14 lead at the half, although head coach Bret Bielema was not satisfied:
His team apparently was not either because Arkansas kept playing well. In the third quarter, the squad was able to take a two-touchdown lead when Allen connected with a wide-open A.J. Derby for a 44-yard touchdown on a well-designed play-action pass.
Jim Harris of ESPN WPS liked what he saw from the fake:
With Texas A&M continuing to struggle offensively, ESPN SEC made this statement:
This ended up being a bit premature as the Aggies were able to cut the deficit in half on an 87-yard touchdown pass from Hill to Edward Pope. As you can see in the replay below, the defender fell down to allow an easy score:
Later in the fourth quarter, Texas A&M was able to tie the game on another long pass to Josh Reynolds, who made up for a number of bad drops with a 59-yard score with just over two minutes remaining.
The game ended up going into overtime, which was just fine for the Aggies. They scored on the first play in the extra session with Hill throwing a strike to Malcome Kennedy for a 25-yard touchdown, putting the pressure on Arkansas:
On the next possession, the Razorbacks were stopped on fourth down as Texas A&M were able to secure the difficult win.
The Aggies came into the day hoping to keep proving they are worthy of a spot in the College Football Playoff at the end of the season. With a 4-0 record and a win at South Carolina already on the resume, they had as good of a resume as anyone.
While they were able to add to the win column on Saturday, the overall struggles had to be concerning. The team remains in the playoff hunt, but they cannot afford too many more poor performances.
Things do not get any easier for Texas A&M either with a road contest at Mississippi State next Saturday.
Meanwhile, Arkansas helped again prove why the SEC is so tough. The team is now 0-2 in conference, but it is good enough to create a challenge for every team it faces this year.
After next week's bye, the squad will host Alabama as it tries to find a way to complete an upset.
Either way, fans were once again reminded that anything can happen in this sport.

FSU vs. NC State: Score and Twitter Reaction
Florida State's run toward a second consecutive national championship is still in play, after the Seminoles came back from a 17-point first-quarter deficit to defeat North Carolina State. The thrilling back-and-forth contest ended with a final score of 56-41.
Quarterback Jameis Winston tossed four touchdowns for the 'Noles, while Karlos Williams overcame a slow start to finish with three rushing touchdowns.
Here is a quarter-by-quarter look at the score from the ACC contest:
The Seminoles have everything: a national title-winning buzz-saw defense, a mammoth offensive line, a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback in Winston and a fantastic coach in Jimbo Fisher. NC State simply ignored the sterling pedigree and put up 24 points in the first quarter, a novel event in Florida State's long and storied history, per ESPN Stats & Info:
NC State opened the scoring with a 54-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett to wideout Bo Hines.
Winston—back in action after a one-game suspension that forced him to sit out the Seminoles' tightrope win over Clemson—quickly pulled the 'Noles back, firing a 32-yard touchdown pass to Jesus Wilson to tie the game at 7-7.
ESPN's Jared Shanker noted the bizarre series of events before the play, which included a first-down catch nullified by an NC State timeout call:
Fans on Twitter had a good bit of fun with Wilson's name:
The Wolfpack responded, putting together a 13-play drive that ended in a three-yard scoring run from halfback Shadrach Thornton.
The Seminoles' troubles continued on the ensuing possession. A fearsome NC State pass rush got the best of the Florida State offensive line, and defensive tackle T.Y. McGill hit Winston from behind and forced a fumble that the defense recovered, leading to an NC State field goal.
The upset-alert meter hit Wolfpack Red when Brissett made one of the plays of the year, scrambling to his right, shedding a pair of would-be tacklers and then floating a pass to wide receiver Johnathan Alston in the end zone just before he fell out of bounds.
The powers that be at SportsCenter were justifiably excited:
Brissett used to play for Florida, who would be happy to have a quarterback of his caliber this season, as Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman noted:
The atmosphere at Carter-Finley Stadium was electric, but Florida State showed its No. 1 ranking wasn't based on reputation alone with a fantastic start to the second quarter. Winston executed a wonderful drive that ended in a Karlos Williams touchdown run, and then FSU's defense forced a three-and-out. Winston took advantage of some very favorable field position, tossing a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Christian Green.
The rapidly improved performance caused Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel to wonder if Florida State was simply repeating a slow start from last season:
The Wolfpack offense fizzled as the second quarter dragged on, but the defense held tough and prevented the 'Noles from scoring the rest of the way. Both teams struggled to establish a sound running game. Williams finished with just 41 yards at the half, while Thornton put up only 37 yards of his own on the ground for the home team.
Winston started off the second half with a costly mistake, firing a pass over the middle that freshman linebacker Jerod Fernandez did well to intercept.
Brissett took over the ensuing drive, marching the Wolfpack down the field. He drew rave reviews for flipping a pass to running back Matt Dayes while getting dragged to the turf by two 'Noles defenders, then scrambled for first downs on consecutive plays to take his team deep into enemy territory. Brissett finished off the drive with a missile strike to Dayes in front of the end zone to give the Wolfpack some much-needed breathing room.
ESPN's ACC Twitter account recognized Brissett's magic on the drive:
Winston refused to wilt under the pressure, showing off a preternatural ability to shrug off mistakes by calmly and efficiently commandeering the 'Noles on a nine-play, 81-yard scoring drive, which was finished off with a peach of a run by backup tailback Dalvin Cook.
It stands to reason that few teams can go toe-to-toe, tit-for-tat with the Seminoles. Something had to give way for the Wolfpack to complete the upset, and it turned out to be turnovers. FSU wideout Rashad Greene fumbled on a punt return that the Wolfpack's Malcolm Means pounced on, allowing the upset-minded hosts to take a 38-28 lead on another bruising Thornton touchdown run.
ESPN U couldn't help but dig up this gem to capture the excitement of Wolfpack fans:
The resiliency of Winston was astounding, and his teammates rewarded his brave play. He tossed touchdown passes—to Wilson and Greene, respectively—on either side of a costly Brissett fumble in the third quarter, putting the 'Noles in front 42-38 for their first lead of the afternoon. The full head of steam built up in that 24-point first quarter had slowly dissipated over the course of the contest.
ESPN ACC noted the silence overtaking the stadium:
Florida State took a 49-38 lead early in the fourth quarter on a Williams touchdown run, and the Wolfpack's hopes of a famous win looked to be in serious jeopardy after a 14-play drive ended with a lost Brissett fumble.
The day was not yet won for Florida State, as Fernandez came up with his second interception of the day, which led to an NC State field goal and gave the team some life heading into the final minutes of play. Take a look at the play, courtesy of Pack Pride:
Williams snuffed out that hope on the Seminoles' ensuing possession, ripping off big chunks of yardage and capping the drive with a 12-yard scoring run to create the final score of 56-41.
Florida State doesn't have a signature, dominant win as of yet on the season, but as long as it avoids a mark in the loss column, it appears destined to head to the College Football Playoff. Winston's leadership and ability to put together long drives in the face of immense pressure make him one of college football's best players.
Winston himself remained supremely confident, via Aaron Beard of The Associated Press. "When's the last time the offense and defense actually clicked on the same note? I don't know. We've got so much potential. We've got so much to look for. I'm telling you, that's the most exciting part."
It's the Wolfpack's first loss of the season, but the fight they showed in this game makes them considerable threats in the ACC going forward. As long as they recover from this disappointing loss, the Wolfpack look like a team capable of finishing the season as one of the Top 25 teams in the nation.

Florida State Coach Jimbo Fisher Chews Out Jameis Winston After Interception
Considering Florida State's Jameis Winston is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher has high standards for his quarterback. When the star player makes a mistake, the coach isn't afraid to chew him out.
With an 11-point lead midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against NC State, Winston threw an interception on 2nd-and-14 from his own 23-yard line.
The interception set the Wolfpack up with great field position as they tried to get back in the game.
Once the quarterback returned to the sideline after throwing the interception, Fisher let Winston have it.
NC State managed to get a field goal on its ensuing possession to chip Florida State's lead down to eight, so Winston's mistake ended up costing the Seminoles.

Texas A&M's Kenny Hill Connects with Edward Pope for 86-Yard TD Against Arkansas
Texas A&M needed Kenny Hill to make a big play in the fourth quarter against the Arkansas Razorbacks, and the Aggies quarterback stepped up for his team.
On a 2nd-and-9 from his own 13-yard line early in the fourth quarter, Hill threw a beautiful deep ball to receiver Edward Pope. With the defender on the ground after tripping up, Pope was able to run into the end zone without any trouble.
The 86-yard touchdown cut the Razorbacks' lead to 28-21.

NC State's Jacoby Brissett Completes Pass While Getting Tackled
North Carolina State's Jacoby Brissett is doing everything he can to help the Wolfpack upset the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles.
In the first quarter, the N.C. State quarterback miraculously avoided multiple sacks on a play and got the ball to his receiver for a touchdown. That wasn't the only unbelievable play the junior made in the game.
On a play in the second half, Brissett managed to complete a pass while getting tackled.
That angle doesn't do this crazy play justice. Check out this angle:
The Seminoles apparently need to do something different to stop Brissett.

Georgia Football: Defensive Front Key to Bulldogs Surviving Tough Stretch Ahead
Though it wasn't always pretty, the Georgia Bulldogs defensive front made just enough plays to secure victory against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday. And for a team desperately in need of an identity outside of running back Todd Gurley, such performances will be crucial as the Dawgs continue conference play.
While the box score once again was highlighted by a stellar effort from Gurley, who racked up over 200 yards rushing and two touchdowns, it was big plays by Georgia's front seven that saved the Bulldogs from a near-upset.
In what has quickly become a pattern for the Bulldogs defense, Georgia coordinator Jeremy Pruitt dialed up pressure early and often and was successful in blowing up plays in the Volunteer backfield. And while pressure usually disrupts opposing offenses, the Bulldogs defense seems to succeed only when its front seven applying as much heat as possible.
Put bluntly, when Georgia's defensive front gets a push, the unit is as impressive as any in the conference. When it doesn't, the results are disastrous. There is no middle ground.
That's because the Georgia secondary continues to struggle mightily when opposing quarterbacks get time to throw the ball. To be sure, it is difficult to cover when passers are not getting rushed, but even shorter routes across the middle of the field are consistently available to opposing signal-callers. When the pocket breaks down, however, everyone benefits. Even linebackers downfield in coverage can defend much more proficiently when the quarterback has to hurry his throws.
And the conflicting identities of this unit are not confined to defending the pass. At times, Georgia seems perfectly content to give up chunks of yardage on the ground. A few weeks ago, South Carolina's Brandon Wilds buried Georgia's comeback attempt with a host of clock-eating, chain-moving runs. On Saturday, Tennessee's Jalen Hurd had similar success at times.
As the Bulldogs move further into a brutal stretch of seven consecutive games against SEC opposition, Pruitt must find a way to keep the defensive front's switch toggled to the on position. The unit can ill afford to merely show flashes. And in theory, Georgia has the personnel to be consistently dominant up front.
Inside linebackers Amarlo Herrera and Ramik Wilson are well-established, sure tacklers in the middle of the field. Their backups, Reggie Carter and Tim Kimbrough have acquitted themselves tremendously well both against the run and the pass.
Outside 'backers Jordan Jenkins and Leonard Floyd are disruptive pass-rushers and true freshman linebacker Lorenzo Carter is already proving to be the stud that so many hoped for when he committed to Georgia on signing day in February.
Additionally, Ray Drew and Josh Dawson showed on Saturday that they can foil the best laid plans of quarterbacks and sound ground attacks.
But all of these elements need to gel so that consistency replaces the occasional big plays as this defense's calling card. After all, as good as this front seven can be, it also has a tendency to lose its way at costly times.
Tennessee drove 83 yards for a touchdown in under 60 seconds as the first half came to a close. Hurd broke two long runs and Justin Worley completed two long passes as the Georgia defensive line and linebackers played conservatively. Some of that was likely schematic, but some of it was surely a reflection of effort and diligence—or lack thereof.
And, frustratingly, that drive was not an anomaly.
Georgia opened the season with a brutal two-game stretch, and for all the Bulldogs' struggles, the team is fortunate in some ways to be 3-1. But the next six games against conference foes could break the Bulldogs if the defensive front doesn't continue to step up.
To be clear, games like Saturday's certainly give cause for optimism. Georgia caused havoc in the Tennessee backfield. And that made the difference.
If that happens more often, it could make the Dawgs contenders in the SEC and beyond.
Unless otherwise noted, all quotes obtained firsthand.

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Copper futures rose, snapping a three-session slump, as manufacturing gains in Asia and the U.S. bolstered prospects for metal demand.
In January, a purchasing managers' index gained in China, the world's top copper buyer. A similar measure for India climbed at the fastest pace in eight months. Manufacturing in the U.S., the second-biggest consumer of the metal, expanded at the quickest pace in seven months as orders and exports accelerated, according to the Institute for Supply Management.
"Global manufacturing was good overall, so that's giving copper some strength," Fain Shaffer, the president of Infinity Trading Corp. in Medford, Oregon, said in a telephone interview. "The key with the U.S. report was new orders, and that's encouraging."
Copper futures for March delivery climbed 1.4 percent to settle at $3.842 a pound at 1:21 p.m. on the Comex in New York. The metal dropped 2.9 percent in the previous three sessions.
On the London Metal Exchange, copper for delivery in three months gained 1.4 percent to $8,440 a metric ton ($3.83 a pound).
Aluminum, lead, nickel and zinc also rose in London. Tin fell.
Last month, an LME index of the six industrial metals rose 11 percent, the biggest January gain since 2006. The Federal Reserve's pledge to keep U.S. interest rates at a record low through late 2014 helped boost prices.

Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and recraft a world of automatons, ornate clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, Utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans � decked out in corsets, clockwerk suits, and tall black boots � solve dastardly crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships.Here, in the first major steampunk anthology for young adults, fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the genre�s established blend of sci-fi and fantasy, action and adventure, history and romance, and refashion it in surprising ways and in settings as diverse as Canada, New Zealand, Appalachia, Wales, ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California. Visionaries Link and Grant have invited all-new interpretations, explorations, and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange, and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake it from the ground up. The result is an anthology that defies even as it defines the genre.

Lake Victoria Refiles NI 43-101 Technical Report For Kinyambwiga-Murangi-Suguti Properties Located In Tanzania, East Africa And Clarifies Production Decision Reported On January 9, 2013
43-101 Technical Report for the Kinyambwiga, Murangi and Suguti properties
In a news release dated December 20, 2012 Lake Victoria Mining Company reported the completion of a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Kinyambwiga, Murangi and Suguti properties. The report was filed on SEDAR December 19, 2012. As previously announced in a November 13 th, 2012 Press Release, Dr. David Webb P. Geol. authored the report. The report was withdrawn because it contained unclassified estimates of grade, tonnes and metal content which was incorrectly labeled as "resources". The report also provided a detailed analysis of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used that is consistent with the estimation of mineral resources. The report then classified the estimates as "conceptual resources" which is not a category permitted under NI43-101 or recognized under Canadian and other accepted international standards. In the absence of a mineral resource the Company had no basis for discussing economic significance of a deposit that it has not yet delineated to the point where continuity of tonnes and grade can be determined.
The report is replaced by a revised report dated January 23, 2013.
A Conceptual Target of 600,000 to 1,000,000 tonnes of mineralization may be present at grades of 1 to 3 gpt in three vein structures at the Kanunga 1 prospect on the Kinyambwiga property. This Conceptual Target is within the first 150 to 200 meters of surface and may contain 30,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold.The potential quantity and grade of these targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The conceptual target has been determined on the basis of trenching, mapping, geophysics and both RC and RAB drilling. Conceptual Targets are not Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Conceptual Targets need additional work or testing, and some or all of these targets may or may not become Mineral Resources. David Webb, B.A.Sc. (Engineering), M.Sc., Ph.D., P. Geol., of DRW Geological Consultants Ltd. is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101, is independent of Lake Victoria Mining Company Inc., and has reviewed the technical disclosure in this release and approves of its content.

Junior Member
Alright, so i was playing jungle amumu, and my bot lane and top lane were losing horribly, so i had to gank constantly. Oh, and the lanes were losing by themselves, not because of pressure from their jungle. So after laning phase is over, i have about 86 cs, and their jungle has about 140 (jungle shyvana btw). Now, their jungler starts bashing on me about it and saying "you ganked too much" "You're a horrible jungler" "Look up a guide" Etc. I told him that he only had more cs because he only had to gank mid a couple times but he just kept saying "Yea, you gank too much". So i was wondering, what defines a good jungler, creep score, ganks, or something i havent even mentioned?
Senior Member
Depends on the Jungler.
You have to realize their are diffrent types of Junglers.
Ganking Junglers: Focus on Ganking and Killing Lanes, usually fall off if no successful ganks (Alistar and Fizz go here).
Farming Junglers: Farm, Farm, Farm, Farm unless a lane is severely out of position never stop killing the creep. (Master Yi and Gangplank go here)
Control Junglers: Invade the enemy, decimate their camps or Alternetivly find them and kill them. (Trundle and Nunu go here).
So Junglers can be Hybridized as well.
For instance
Shaco: Ganking/Control Jungler.
Shyvana: Farming/Control Jungler.
Skarner: Ganking/Farming Jungler.
Also Farmer beats Ganker, Ganker beats Controller, Controller beats Farmer.
Amumu is primarily a ganker, and should expect to have less CS then junglers who are more concentrated on farming (Like Shyvana) the trade off is that you have much more potent ganks, and should be up in kills. If you ganked a bunch and had no kills you are either a TERRIBLE jungler (this is unlikely, do to the inherent power of nunu's Bandage toss for ganks) or your lanes dont know how to properly "prep" a gank (this is far more likely as most laners have never jungled themselves and dont realize its a complete waste of time to gank lanes that are at full health, or ones where you ally has less then 2 bars do to the fact that they are getting destroyed in lane).
Lord Puppy Fury
It depends on your team as much as it does on your champion too. Even if you're playing a jungler who's not known as a strong ganker, if you're with a pre-made, simply having a 3v2 or 2v1 situation can be enough for the gank to succeed if you're all on the same page and communicating.
Some junglers can start ganking at level 1 or 2 and mostly get fed off of assists. Other junglers want to farm as hard and as fast as they can to hit level 6. Plus, you have to balance the needs of your team. If top is wholly unable to hold his lane, is it better to baby sit him and have you fall behind, or is it better to leave top to fend for himself and have to deal with a fed enemy? In that light, a good jungler is one who's able to process a ton of ever changing information and react to it quickly in a way that most benefits the team as a whole.
The primary job of a jungler is to maintain map control. This means buffs, dragon, baron, and lanes. I don't really care how you do it, though your laners might.
"What defines a good jungler"
A jungler who is playing to win the game.
If one of your lanes is struggling, you should look to lend them aid. Some lanes can't be helped though and it's always your call on whether it's worth you traveling to a far off lane to try to gank. Keep in mind that any time you gank for a lane that is an investment of your time. If it doesn't pay off for your laner or you then is was a bad investment usually.
If lanes are pushed you can do one of two things. Farm your jungle or force an objective. When your team has a lane pushed, that means that the enemy has to spend the next 30 seconds or so absorbing the farm at the turret before they can react to anything you are trying to do. Dragon is a good straight forward objective for you to take and is a good way to build a lead. Another form of objective is to take towers. Your bottom lane is pushed and dragon isn't up? Can you force them off their tower or dive them easily? Maybe you should call for your bottom lane to cut up through their jungle and 4v1 mid to take THAT tower.
Being the jungler means that you have the potential to influence the whole map. A good jungler will be able to gank and snowball lanes. A great jungler will be able to invest his time and energy getting things done where they need to be done and ultimately win the game for their team.
The Jade Fist
Trying to get into jungling myself, and its easily seaming to be the most complex role. You have to consider all 3 lanes, and your enemy jungle/ your own, so basically that's 5 lanes at once that your job to manage, and decide when/ where is the best place to be at that time.
Time on failed ganks puts you behind. Success can be measured if at the very least you and your lane lived, but you forced the enemy back to base, but of course good for your lane, still bad for your own gold, at least that enemy won't be as farmed as they could have been to kill you later as easily.
Some junlgers are naturally going to have less minon kills, not every one who jungles is amazing at camp clearing with a single skill. I believe it was said pretty good by that EzraTwitch.
Ganker junglers like blitzcrank /alistar for example, have pretty poor clear times, but their power to secure kills in a gank is top notch. As such should be ganking as soon as lvl 2 or 3. They farm players not the jungle. Thats how those type of champions jungle well. If they fail a few too many attempts though, they'll be pretty behind for gold and suck and die later on. But if you get a few kills for your team out of it, those lanes will far pretty far behind your own lanes.
Its not a 100% insta loose or win, its it how ever, seen as the standard pick/ counter pick types, where they'll have a disadvantage or advantage against other types of junglers, under ideal circumstances.

The first time I heard this song on the radio, I pulled over so that I could find it on my mobile and listen to it a second time. You may have had a different experience during your childhood and high school years, but I can personally relate to these lyrics in a big way. The music is fantastic, too – It's written by Yann Tiersen, who is the composer behind the Amélie soundtrack.
Here's some background on the song, from sagefrancis.net:
I listened to the instrumental repeatedly waiting for images or words to pop into my head. Nothing came. As a last ditch effort I referenced an old letter I had written to my girlfriend while I was touring Europe a few years back. The first line in that letter was, "It's been a long and lonely trip but I'm glad I took it." I borrowed that first line for my song and the rest of the song flowed from there. I didn't have time to filter much. What resulted was a string of raw and revealing moments from my upbringing that seem to have molded my adulthood. Vulnerable and embarrassing tidbits of info that sit in the back of my head at all times. Fuck it. That was my mentality. Fuck it. When all was said and done I felt very satisfied with the outcome. In fact, the thesis of the song seems to be about how we tend to fool ourselves into thinking that the tough and embarrassing moments of our life are much bigger than they actually are. Especially as kids, when we believe that every obstacle we encounter seems like the end of the world. That's probably the greatest lie of our lives. It's a lie that is so convincing that some of us kill ourselves over it. It's important to remember that when all seems lost it really isn't. As the old credo goes, "This too shall pass."
And my favorite lyrics, from the end:
"Don't listen when they tell you that these are your best years. Don't let anybody protect your ears. It's best that you hear what they don't want you to hear. It's better to have pressure from peers than not have peers. Beer won't give you chest hair. Spicy food won't make it curl. When you think you've got it all figured out and then your universe collapses…trust me, kid…it's not the end of the world."

My sister gave me these. These are perfectly fine blotting papers. They do what they're supposed to do and aren't made out of that weird plastic film that Clean & Clear uses, which makes me feel a little guilty about throwing them away.
I do not like the flimsy cardboard packaging, which gets banged up pretty quickly. I wouldn't mind that if these didn't cost so much. It's about $10 for 100 sheets. You can get packages of Japanese blotting papers on Amazon that are 200 sheets for about $5-6. Or you can just use Starbucks napkins for free.
As someone with very oily skin, these face blotting wipes are a life saver. I normally use them in the afternoons to blot the oil off of my face and it never removes my foundation. It's a good alternative to adding powder, since you're just removing oil instead of adding more product. It has a slight herbal scent. The packaging is thin and perfect for my purse or makeup bag.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
These are pretty good. Packaging is cute.
They are quite flimsy, but they show the oil really well, and do mattify the face. They mess up my makeup slightly.
The green tea scent is pretty subtle, just adds a little something extra.
I use these pretty infrequently- just keep them in my purse for whenever I need them, so one pack lasts me about two to three months. I'll keep buying them.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The good things about these oil blotting sheets are that they have very convenient packaging, the scent is great and it really soothes my face, and it does a great job at blotting the oil on my face since I have very oily and acne-prone skin. I can also see the oil on the sheets so I know what parts I've used. The one thing I dislike about these sheets is that they're a little thinner than I'd like them to be. Sometimes they rip and I wish I was able to use both sides of the sheet in order to get more use out of it.
Overall, though, I love these oil blotting sheets and I'll definitely be purchasing more of them.
These are pretty good blotting linens. At first the price seems high, but I compared the price and amount to some drugstore blotting papers, and they go for around $4-5 for 50 papers, these are $10 for 100 at Sephora. They work well, they smell nice, and the packaging is super cute and comes in lots of interesting designs, so they're actually fun to reach for. They're not perfect, but I haven't found blotting paper yet that gets rid of all of my oilies.
Edit: I should add that mine are Limited Edition for the packaging, which I did not originally realize. Perhaps they funsey looks aren't always around? Regardless, the actual blotting papers are still a good product.
These are my fave blotting papers! I also have them in pink Peppermint (seasonal) and they work exactly alike except for the slight scent.
My friend suggested I try these when i complained about my oily t-zone, mainly my stupid nose- it gets shiny so fast! ugh.
I digress- these blotting papers are the bomb! They're bigger than your typical ones (I was using Body Shop ones previously) so they cover my entire nose and sides of the nose when I place the sheet there to blot. I love that they don't deposit any powder, which relieves me cuz i'm always worried my nose area will start looking cakey or have a different colour powder to it.
Yes, these sheets are very thin, but i think i like that now, especially as the size of the sheets makes up for it. I really like that i can see the oil on the sheets once i use them. I love that these remove the oil, leave my makeup untouched, and aren't depositing anything onto my skins so i don't have to worry about clogged pores & pimples!
ps. i buy these from Sephora when they go on sale for $5, which happens randomly. i buy multiples and they last a long time (100 sheets in a pk, used 3-4 times day = 1 month for $5 worth? not bad IMO!)
These things are pretty awful. I can't go anywhere without blotting sheets and these ones were quite useless. I thought for sure Sephora would sell decent ones, but I was proven wrong. Its always helpful to be able to see the oil on the used films, but these ones you can't so that's a definite shame.
Being someone with oily skin, I am serious about blotting papers, as I use them daily. And these have to be among the very worst blotting papers I have yet to encounter (the only ones of poorer quality are the blotting papers made by e.l.f., but you pay far less for those). In comparison to the much cheaper Asian-made Clean & Clear papers that I normally use, these do little to reduce shine, and are incredibly flimsy. Good blotting papers should be sturdy enough to allow you to use both sides of the paper (making them more cost-effective), but these simply fell apart in my hands with gentle use. I also fail to understand how the green tea comes into the picture, either. At this point, I'm simply glad that I received these for free, as I definitely would have returned them otherwise.
Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens are a must-have! Since I've purchased my first pack, I am never without it in my bag. They are sold at Sephora for $10 and I've recently seen them at Ulta for $10 as well. I would rather purchase them from Ulta being that they always have coupons available (ex: $3.50 off your purchase of $10) which would help bring down the cost of the linens.
I have very oily, acne-prone skin so I use about 2 to 3 sheets a day. I find them very helpful in reducing the amount of pimples I have by absorbing the excess oil. The sheets themselves do a fantastic job of absorbing oil and they are unlike any other blotting sheets I've tried.
I would 100% recommend this product!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
These things are great! I was a little worried because they're thinner than I'm used to, but bigger than normal blotting sheets. They are a little fragile, so be careful to blot and not wipe.
I love that they don't have powder and the scent is lovely without being overwhelming. The package holds up pretty well and I'd definitely buy them again.

The Giants could be in first place at the end of the week. Or they could be in third.
It's hard to pick out an absolute worst moment from yesterday's Giants-Eagles game.
Whom to hate on the Philadelphia Eagles.
He could have stunk, and the crowd could have eaten him alive, for example.
But many are speaking up for the dogs.
There are drink deals and wings galore!
The Giants are lustful to avenge their crushing December loss versus the Eagles.
