How 'Bout Dem Trojans
When did college football change the rules to permit the team on defense to score on an extra point attempt?

That's been around as long as I can remember, Mags. As far as I know, the NFL is the only league in which you can't return another team's extra point try for a deuce.
Not that the Sun Devils played well enough to win that game anyway ...

Wow.
"As long as I can remember" for me means earlier this morning, but I get the point. When I switched over to the game and caught the replays, I thought it must have been a blocked field goal but then I finally realized it had only counted for two points.
If ASU had USC's no. 2 QB, they would have won going away.
I really thought the refs did a terrible job in letting the USC players get away with all the taunting of ASU's no. 7. On the other hand, the guy obviously has chosen to wear a bullseye on both front and back.

Threet has been a mixed bag. He plays well on occasion, but he's prone to throwing a pick-6 at the most inopportune times. I refer to these as "Jeff George Moments."
ASU's other options at QB aren't enticing. Their second string QB is Brock Osweiler. His arm is so weak, he couldn't throw a tantrum. They had high hopes for another kid named Samson Szakacsy, but he spends most of his time in a hot tub.
Elway's kid really screwed Erickson. They were counting on him to start last season, but he left the program and decided to join Todd Marinovich's naked surfing league. I suppose being John Elway's son is a mixed blessing. Doors open for you right away, but the expectations are well beyond unrealistic. And then there's the genetic problems with orthodonture.

Is this a co-ed league? If so, is there a cable/satellite channel that carries this programming?

Naked surfing? Because there's no way to enforce the rule that a player has to pull his socks up to meet his pants.
I read an article several weeks ago about Todd Marinovich's younger brother, who is a linebacker at Syracuse. The gist of the article was the kid trying to say "I'm not a bizarre closet case who was ruined by an obsessively domineering father," followed by 1,500 words that brought the reader to the conclusion that the kid is a bizarre closet case who was ruined by an obsessively domineering father.
