Southern Cal busted for using deflated footballs in the Oregon game. Not to worry though. A student manager is taking the fall for them.

Regarding the Sherrill controvery, a helium filled football was shown by he mythbusters to be disadvantageous vs using an air filled one. What sounds like a good idea actually isn't.

Same thing Jackie accused Auburn of. No helium involved.

Yeah. The helium thing was pretty much proven to be ********. Most likely to deflect attention from the fact that Auburn might, in fact, be using illegally inflated balls that would give them an advantage.

Those cheatin' 17ers apparently had their propaganda machine in full gear then apparently. Phillip Marshall comes to mind.
