Wow. What a fantastic day of College Football. There was game after game of thrilling action. I think this was the best Saturday yet. Here are some views and observations.
*7 Top 25 teams fell on Saturday. That is more than a quarter of them and they went down in a variety of ways. There was the predictable (Washington, Florida, Northwestern), The Stunning (Georgia, Stanford) and The disappointing (Oklahoma, Michigan). Some of these teams were bound to fall, particularly when we got into conference play. But 7? Damn
*What the hell Oklahoma? You had a chance to bury the Horns and instead you let them run over you? 263 total yards isnt going to do it. So much for thinking Blake Bell was going to be the guy going forward. I suppose I have to give credit to Texas who actually stuck with the run. When you have horses like Jonathan Gray and Malcolm Brown you have to ride them. Both of those guys rushed for over 120 yards. A great win for Texas but this has to be absolutely disappointing for Boomer Sooner.
* Oh Georgia. My Oh My. This one will make Mark RIcht and Aaron Murray sick to their stomach at seasons end.
*Penn State beat Mr. Inconsistent in a 4 OT thriller yesterday evening. Penn St. needed, and got, a furious last minute TD drive with heroics by Allen Robinson. The OT sessions were sloppy by both teams. Penn State won as they were the first to score a TD, in the 4th OT period, There were no points were scored in 2 of those periods. In other news Im ready to proclaim Allen Robinson as one of the 2 or 3 best receivers in the country. That dude is a baller. This game also served as a reminder of how much Beaver Stadium can rock. That has to be one of the best atmospheres in the country.
*It has to hurt to be a Stanford fan this morning.
*Did anyone watch the Texas A&M/Ole Miss game? Wow what a game. Ole Miss led by a TD with 6 minutes to go. Give The Aggs credit. They stormed back and won the game at the gun. John Football his usual self. Just another 346 yards passing 124 yards rushing day. Nothing special, just another day at the office. Trey WIlliams added 2 rushing TDs for A&M in this one. Williams is really fun to watch. You can think what you will of A&M but they are going to play some very entertaining games this season. I would suggest tuning in.
Stock up
LSU– The Tigers might be the best team in the SEC. Their Offense is rolling and if yesterday was any indication their Defense is gaining footing as well.
Michigan State- Look out big 10. Sparty might have found some Offense.
Oregon– The Ducks are so consistent it often gets overlooked. Yesterday they beat a fine Washington team in a hostile environment and nothing is thought of it.
South Carolina– Going on the road and putting the smack down on a Conference opponent lands you on the stock up list.
Wisconsin– Damn. The Badgers put a beat down on the Wildcats.
BYU– Nice win for The Cougs.
STOCK DOWN
Oklahoma– Come on Boomer.
Georgia– For the love of Christ!! I shower the Dogs with praise, calling them a Title Contender after beating LSU and since then they have played poorly in 2 games and lost to Misery. UGH
Miami (OH)- Losing the UMASS? Unless we are talking about basketball this will land you on the stock down list.
Michigan– Who are these guys? The team that came out of the gates on fire or the squad that is staggering around like a hobo after a bottle of scope.
Eastern Michigan– allowing 50 points to Army?
Stanford– I wont pour salt in the wound but I have to put the Cardinal on this list.
