Weekend Apologies
Well, I didn't do so well in my weekend picks. I called Florida and Oregon, both of whom won by a single point.
Miami looked tough in pregame, but got completely smoked by a Louisville team that didn't have its two best players. Memo to self: leave the Hurricanes by roadside in anticipation of their death. Louisville is a fine program, but the 'Canes are a shadow of the old Miami teams that destroyed people.
Clemson pulled the upset in Doak thanks to James Davis's hard running. The beating would have been worse if Clemson knew how to protect its placekicker. Jeff Bowden has lorded over the gradual demise of the once feared FSU offense. Can Daddy fire sonny boy?
I was right that Chad Henne and Michael Hart were good players. It's just that I didn't know about Mario Manningham who torched a evidently overhyped ND pass defense. Michigan suddenly looks strong. Strong enough to beat Ohio State?
Sure LSU got hosed (like Oklahoma), maybe more than once (like Oklahoma). But, I called that the LSU offensive line was the key to the game. They never opened up running lanes for the LSU backs. LSU's longest run of the day was a 12 yard scramble by their quarterback. Both defenses looked great. All is not lost for LSU. They just have to start cheering for Florida and Georgia. Oh, stay undefeated, too. Despite the bad calls and the poor run blocking and the sometimes questionable play calling, LSU still had a chance to win the game at the end.
Five more yards.
