Georgia suffered another heartbreaking loss on Saturday. The fact is this team is young and very inexperienced. And losing A.J. Green for four games for selling his Independence Bowl jersey to a former UNC football player doesn't help either. Saying all that though, I think this is the beginning of the end of the Mark Richt era at Georgia. The 2008 Sugar Bowl win over Hawaii seems a long time ago now. Georgia fans are impatient, and rightfully so. Hopefully Richt can get another job, because he is a very good coach.
Florida stinks. They still have trouble handling snaps. They will lose to Alabama in a couple of weeks. And I don't think that will be the only SEC loss they will have this year. I, like many others, way overrated Florida at the begining of the year.
Look I love to go out and drink as much as the next person. Ok maybe not as much as the Smith or Kinney brothers, but I like going out. But I have to say I was so glad I stayed in for at least one Saturday Night this fall. On the couch relaxing, and flipping back and fourth between Clemson at Auburn and Notre Dame at Michigan State.
You'll have a hard time finding a better college football game this year then Clemson at Auburn. So many hard hits. Cam Newton had his coming out party for Auburn. He looks like a beast. And Clemson was classic Clemson. Dominated early leading 17-0. Coach Dabo Sweeney looking boastful on the sidelines. Then Clemson QB Kyle Parker took a nasty hit to the back, and Clemson choked away the lead. Then overtime came. Clemson tied the game, but the center doubled clutched the ball. I knew right then the Clemson kicker would miss the second kick. And of course he did. Classic Clemson. Lead early, seemed to have the game in hand, then find a way to choke it in the end. It has to be real hard to be a Clemson fan.
Clemson at Auburn was an instant classic. Another heartbreaking loss for Clemson.
For the Notre Dame at Michigan State game, Brian Kelly did not have his best coaching performance. He went for it on a 4th and 1 from his own 40 with the game tied at 28 and over 5 minutes still to go. Notre Dame missed it, and was lucky Michigan State did not score. Then with less than a minute to go he declined to try to throw down the field to set up a FG, with a timeout still in his pocket. Yet he had Dayne Crist throw over 50 times in that game. Doesn't make sense to me. Then to cap it off Michigan State pulled a "Boise State" on Notre Dame and faked the tying FG in overtime and threw it for the winner. I went nuts. What a play, what a gutsy call. So gutsy it caused Michigan State Head Coach Mark Dantonio to suffer a heart attack after the game. So that really was a "life or death" call. Don't tell me football doesn't matter. Saturday Night just showed me again why I love college football so much, and think it's by far the best sport in the world.
Alright on to Sunday and the NFL. Let's start with the Bills. What more can anyone say? How can you even get angry anymore. It's the same old thing every week. Trent constanly checks down. If the throws to the first down marker on a third down that is a moral victory. How about that 4th and 11, in the final minute of the game, down 27 and he runs out of bounds for 2 yards. Have some guts Trent! Oh and more thing about the Bills. How many carries did the 9th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft get on Sunday? 1 carry for C.J. Spiller. Yeah Chan Gailey really is an offensive genius out there.
What 0-2 team should be the most panicked? I think it should be the Cowboys. They have all the talent in the world, and don't have the injury excuses the Vikings have. And they loss to the Redskins and the Bears. Their schedule will get much harder. Forget Super Bowl, if I am a Cowboys fans I'm just worried about making the playoffs right now.
What 2-0 team should be the most excited right now? I think the clear winner here is the Houston Texans. They beat up a Colts team, that showed on Sunday Night that yes they still are the same old regular season dominating Colts. Then yesterday they won a game over the Redskins, that in the past years they would not have pulled off. The AFC South should be very competitive witht the Colts, Texans, and Titans, and I would not be suprised if all three teams made the playoffs.
Another huge win for the Houston Texans and Andre Johnson yesterday.
Steelers fans like James Lacki have to be pumped right now. With Troy Polamalu back the Steelers defense looks to be back to their 2008 form. The Steelers are 2-0, with two games left before they get Big Ben back. This could be a very good year for the Steelers in 2010.
Ok so maybe the Ravens won't go 14-2 like I predicted at the start of the season. I think the Ravens have the most talent of any NFL team. But if Joe Flacco continues to struggle all that talent won't matter. Steelers fans should be happy. Carson Palmers stinks. Cleveland's QB's forget about it! If Flacco does not get better, the Steelers could run away with this division if Big Ben plays like the old Big Ben.
Big win for the Jets. They had to win that game, and they did. Sunday Night Jets at Dolphins will be such an intriquing game to watch, I am already looking foward to it.
