This Saturday’s action in college football features (featured) three top 25 battles between undefeated teams; 8 FSU hosting 25 Maryland, 5 Stanford hosting 15 Washington, and 4 Ohio State visiting 16 Northwestern. Well, one is in the books and it was not even remotely close!
FSU just demolished Maryland and Jameis Winston, freshman QB for FSU was all he has been billed as and more. He three for 5 TD passes and 393 yards. When his replacement came into the game in the late 3rd quarter to finish the game, FSU was up 49 – 0 and the Noles continued to score, finishing with a 63 – 0 beat down of the Terps. Wander how head coach Randy Edsell of the Terps is feeling about that? Also, Maryland starting QB C j Brown was knocked out of the game with what appeared to be a targeting hit on a defenseless player but was not called. He did not return, but Brown does not play defense and the Terps were no match for the Seminoles and their high octane scoring offense. Surprising as Maryland came in with one of the top rated defenses in the county. May not really have face much tough competition this year so far, certainly not of the caliber of FSU.
5 Stanford hosting 15 Washington should be a great battle. Stanford fell to Washington last year and certainly would like to not repeat that mishap. This game seems like it may be the closest of the three battles of the ranked unbeaten, as I think 4 Ohio State will be too much for 16 Northwestern, even though that game is a home game for Northwestern, just outside of Chicago. I want Stanford to win and I would actually like to see Northwestern upset Ohio State. Stanford game is on at 10:30 pm EST, late game here on the east coast. The Ohio State – Northwestern battle will be featured on ABC at 8;00 pm EST.
Other games of note. Virginia Tech continued their winning ways and Logan Thomas had another good game as they took care of North Carolina, 27 – 17. Carolina is now – 3 on the year? Clemson is already rolling in the Carrier Dome over Syracuse, welcoming them to the ACC with a 35 – 7 lead in the 2nd quarter. Tajh Boyd is having quite a day already. In Miami, the game I am watching, Georgia Tech and 14 Miami are tied at the half, 17 – 17. Really pulling for the Jackets to win this one. They have looked good offensively, (RB Deon Hill especially, playing his first game since the season opener after recovering from an illness) but I cannot understand not having Vad Lee in the game when they had 3rd and long inside of Miami’s 40 yard line. Justin Thomas (freshman QB) was seeing some playing time, but as talented as Thomas is, Vad Lee has got to be the guy. Also, the better passer. GT really misses Jamal Golden, return specialist and in the secondary as well as Isiah Johnson in the secondary. Both are out for the year. Second half to come so GO JACKETS!
In Ohio where they are really trying to play the President’s Cup, rain continues to come and go, the US is up 10.5 to 6.5 over the international team. They are trying to get in as much of three different formats as possible today. Kuchar and Woods won again and are still having fun!
More later…
