Wow. What a performance by Navy. You really have to tip your cap to that squad, and the coach. The midshipman pulled it out. Notre Dame is hurting. Charlie could be on the way out. Tough decisions ahead for Notre Dame, because there are unconfirmed reports of his buyout being close to $10 million. Whew!
This weekend's games are very intriguing.
First of all let's start on the left coast. The Stanford vs Southern Cal game is my best one of the day. Souther Cal's top receiver and punt returner, Damian Williams, is out (courtesy of The Associated Press). I remember vividly watching Stanford beat them in the Coliseum 2 years ago, and how excited I was. That was some performance. It's hard not to root for Harbaugh - he's hungry and it shows. I think the NFL is taking note what he's up to.
Georgia vs Auburn. Its a 7:00 PM kick, and it should be a cold one in Athens. Look for Washaun to have coming out party. Too bad it took Georgia all year to figure out they had another sensational tailback in the stable. Remember it took GA a year and a half to let Knowshon run wild. GA has to get it together and assess talent faster. Games are a stake and currently they are being shown up in almost every bigtime implication game they face. Look for changes in the offseason.
Lot's of good noon games. I like Penn State to roll up Indiana. Clemson will keep it up and take out NC State as they head to Charlotte. Think Clemson is wondering if they should have pulled the Boweden trigger a little sooner.
Georgia Tech should be fine against Duke. While Duke is having a great year. I just don't see them stopping Tech's ground game.
Kentucky vs Vandy looks to be a close one. What's the over/under on the number of punts? I like Vandy to cover. Let's stay in the SEC for a bit. Dan Mullen and his Miss State Bulldogs are having fun this year, but with BAMA parked outside the stadium all smiles disappear real quick. Look for BAMA to handle their business. Tenn had a tough week. Its hard to rule out the knucklehead factor when you recruit knuckleheads. I like Houston Nutt, and Ole Miss, in this one, especially at home.
Even Coach Spurrier calling plays today (why he does not do this all the time, I have no idea) will not be enough to stop Florida.
Boise State and TCU will both win. Look for Iowa to loose another one. Stanzi not playing equals a road loss for me. Damn shame. I was having a lot of fun keeping my eye on Iowa victories. And I want to make a point here, by my count that 2 QB's out for the year on stupid, I repeat STUPID, plays. Sam Bradford second should injury occurred on a play where he was out on a island, and Stanzi got knocked out for the year trying to escape, but he's was out on island too. Coaches have to figure if out - PROTECT THE QUARTERBACK. If they play does not do that - delete it. Pretty simple to me.
I'm sure everyone saw Javid Best go down last week. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Mr. Best get well soon.
Don't be surprised when Stanford wins again.
