Weekend Picks - October 14
It's Homecoming at the McInnis household. I'm sticking around the house this weekend where I'll watch a lot of games, but am subject to a potential ordered garage clean out.
Michigan at Penn State - Michigan is missing Mario Manningham, a big cog in their surprising undefeated start. But they still have Chad Henne, Mike Hart, and a couple of good, but not spectacular receivers. If there's a good time to miss Manningham, it's against Penn State who has had a suspect pass defense this year. I like Michigan, 27-14.
Florida at Auburn - This could be, gasp, the last really competitve game that impacts the SEC East race. If the Gators win, it will be tough for anyone to derail the Gator train to Atlanta. Yes, UF has the greatest player since Red Grange. Yes, they have the greatest coach since Pop Warner. That being said, I think the Aubs will be fired up for this one. They've had all week to hear how Arkansas ran it down their throats, how the SEC West race is over, how they've struggled lately. I expect an big, loud, toilet paper packing crowd at Jordan-Hare. Can the Gators really beat Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, and Georgia in the same year with only one of those games at home? It's looking more and more likely. But tonight's game won't come without drama. Auburn will have this game at the end, but John Vaughn will miss a game winning field goal in the waning seconds. UF, 23-21.
Damon Duval may have gotten beaten up by the LSU band, but he could hit a clutch kick every once in a while (between quitting the team during the game and bleaching his hair). John Vaughn, on the other hand, misses clutch kicks, unless they are to beat my Bulldogs.
