Another exciting weekend of College Football

Even though there weren't all that many big exciting match-ups this weekend, Saturday turned out to be a very exciting day.

In the early round of games you had No. 22 Michigan rally, yet again in the fourth quarter to tie the Spartans and force the game into overtime. Unfortunately for the Wolverines their rally came to an end in OT as Michigan State went on to win 26-20.

Then there was the No. 4 LSU at No. 18 Georgia game. There wasn't a whole lot of offense going on in this game with the halftime score being 6-0 LSU. Finally in the fourth quarter both teams decided to come alive and things sure did get exciting when both teams combined for three TDs in the final three minutes. RB Scott scored a 2 yard TD run with 2:53 left making the score 12-7 LSU (the 2pt conversion failed). Georgia then turned around and marched down the field and ended with Cox throwing a 16 yard TD pass to A.J. Green with 1:09 left. Georgia missed the 2pt conversion as well making the score 12-13 Georgia. Unfortunately for Georgia they were flagged for excessive celebration on the TD, although it wasn't really all that bad, I thought, which gave LSU good field position. Two plays later RB Scott scored on a 33 yard touchdown run with 46 seconds left and the game was over.

Notre Dame had to come from behind yet again against Washington, finally winning in OT 37-30. Virginia Tech had some trouble putting the Duke Blue Devils away winning by the close score of 34-26. Iowa must of had a hangover over that Penn State win cause they almost lost to Arkansas State. The Hawkeyes squeaked out a 3 point win 24-21. The Cinderella story of Houston is now over as they lost to UTEP of all people. They can beat my Cowboys and Texas Tech but then they lose to a team that just got beat by nearly sixty points to Texas. UTEP won 58-41.

My Aggies of Texas A&M looked really really good early in their game against Arkansas. They jumped out to a 10-0 lead and the defense was shutting down Mallet and the Arkansas offense forcing several 3 and outs. Things quickly went south after that though, as Mallet and others started clicking by scoring 30 unanswered points to take a halftime lead 30-10. It was pretty much over by then as the Aggies went on to lose 47-19. A disappointing loss for A&M.

But the game of the night was No. 8 going to No. 17 Miami (FL). As a Sooner hater I loved watching this game as Miami was able to rebound off their loss last weekend to win 21-20. At first things didn't look to good for Miami as Jacory Harris threw an interception on their first two drives. Fortunately Harris and the team were able to settle down after that and the defense was able to stop the high powered offense of OU.
