So many games, go little time, and only three TVs! Anyhow, first things first. My team, GT took care of Duke in Durham, NC to win their first ACC game this season, 38 – 14. Very nice performance for the Jackets and especially for Vad Lee, who returned “home” as he hails from Durham, NC. Lee scored 5 touchdowns (4 touchdowns passing and one TD run) and except for one interception, was exceptional. He gives the Jackets something they have sorely missed, a dual threat in the option offense. He can run and he can throw! He threw two touchdown passes to DeAndre Smelter (remember that name) who was a standout baseball player, heavily recruited by other colleges to play football as well, and stands 6’3″ and weighs in at 220 lbs. This guy could be the next “great receiver” at the flats. GT rushed for over 340 yards and the only blemish was a blocked field goal which should not have happened. They have a great kicker and punter, great offense, defense looks improved, but still tough to gauge the improvement as Duke was playing their back up QB. No complaints from me however, looking good Jackets!
So many football games all on at the same time, gee, spread the wealth a bit. Alabama and Texas A & M in a battle and also Oregon is dismantling Tennessee, those are the three games I have been watching. I will give today’s results a bit later when all is said and done!
Meanwhile, BMW Golf Championships took place as well. Round three completed ( must admit, did not watch with all the football action but will watch tomorrow along with the “Manning Brothers Game”) but here is the results of round three: Jim Furyk leads the pack at -13, Steve Stricker at -12, Brandt Snedeker at -11, Zach Johnson at -10, Tiger Woods at -9 (nice round for Tiger who suffered the one shot penalty yesterday and started today at -4), Ryan Moore and Charles Schwartzel at -8. Mickelson finished at -1 and Rory Mcilroy at a dismal +10.
Back later with some more college football finals!
