It’s Auburn…2013 SEC Champions with a 59 – 42 victory over Missouri at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. What a ball game!! I have to admit, I was pulling for Mizz just a little bit (apologies to my oldest daughter, an Auburn grad). Anyhow, this was a gem of a football game…close right up until the mid way point in the 4th quarter. Whoever had the ball…scored. Turnovers played a roll, especially in the first half. Auburn had two fumbles which resulted in ten points for Missouri. Then Missouri returned the favor. And then there was the onside kick recovered by Auburn. Cannot say the “Tigers”, it will get confusing…both are Tigers. The star of the game, Tre Mason with 300 yards total offense. Appropriately named the player of the game. Kieth Marshall, Auburn QB was a star as well. Have to applaud the Missouri Tigers and their QB James Franklin and especially RB Henry Josey. What a story, coming back from a horrific knee injury suffered against Texas last year. What a year and what a player. The out of bounds hit on him by White of Auburn was bad…should he have been ejected? Does not matter now, Auburn rules the SEC and now awaits the outcome of 2 Ohio State vs. 10 Michigan State. Kickoff is at 8:00 pm EST tonight!
Earlier today, 6 Oklahoma State blew their chance at a BCS bowl berth going down to instate rival Oklahoma, 33 – 24. (They don’t call this game “Bedlam” without reason..you had to see it!) These rivalry games are something else…trend from last weekend continued. Now, 9 Baylor who prevailed over 25 Texas, 30 – 10, will get the automatic BCS Bowl berth to represent the Big 12. 16 UCF was victorious over SMU 17 – 13 and what a job head coach George O’Leary has done in Orlando. It has been really cold at these games…the SEC Championship was indoors thankfully as it is not the most pleasant of weather in the ATL.
Pac 12 Championship game is in the first quarter and 7 Stanford leads 11 Arizona State, 21 – 7. These guys are playing for a trip to Pasadena, but not for the National Title game but for the Rose Bowl. Still quite a prize!
OK…over and out for now. 2 Ohio State vs. 11 Michigan State just getting started as is the ACC Championship game in Charlotte with 2 FUS vs. 20 Duke. How about the Dukies! More later..or tomorrow?
Hard to keep up with all these games…need multiple TVs!
