PUR-SUIT

You want to hear the really depressing news? The Irish had 132 first-half yards, which I believe may be their most prolific first half, yardage-wise, of the season.

Here's my question, after suffering through two fumbles, an interception, another muffed shotgun snap, three penalties, a blocked field goal, a squandered 3rd-and-29 and a punt that was downed on the 2: Did they have halftime at Little Big Horn?

Commenters say that Arrelious Benn is being talked about on the telecast (I cannot hear it). He has a 90-yard kickoff return for a TD and a 29-yard TD catch. How Benn actually wound up in Champaign is not fully known, but you cannot bust on a kid for zigging when he should have zagged on signing day. The kid, like the school, is only doing what's in his best interests. And often he knows that if he does not verbally commit, a school will pass on him.
A verbal commitment is like a wedding engagement. Until you exchange vows, the engagement isn't binding. Nor should it be.
