national games ...

national game thoughts:

1. texas did to michigan exactly as i had thought, boatrace;
2. N did to colorado exactly as i had thought, boatrace;
3. will continues to carry ohio state: 18 of 26 for 292, no interceptions;
4. overrated oregon struggles again just getting by boise 37-34;
5. nd proves these are youngsters losing to northern illinois 16-14;
6. tennessee thumps nc state by 41 - vols maybe elite;
7. syracuse over georgia tech showing how bad fsu is this year:
8. missouri put 38 on buffalo - let's see how they fair v. bc next;
9. penn state struggles to beat bowling green - it's the focus thing again;
10. and look out for indiana to cause some heartburn after putting 77 on directional illinois.

Perusing the squawk boards , it seems the hype train is ( temporarily) off the tracks after the debacle in Illinois , but it will only require a quick OC change to some young coach in house to get a promotion and the playoffs and Daniels Heisman will back in play.

the narrative here about losing andy kotelnicki is starting to prove accurate. he may have been for leipold as chris petersen was to dan hawkins. remember, dan was a rising star at boise, went to cu without chris, and became an epic fail. andy had been with lance for over a decade. he's clearly an outstanding o'coordinator. so it is going to be interesting now to see how this plays out. lance is famous for saying: we will run the ku offense. umm...

2. #4 alabama jumps around camp randall 42-10;
3. overrated #6 missouri gets by boston college in como 27-21;
4. wazzu beats uw 24-19 - very nice karma plays out in seattle as cougs take the apple cup;
5. #15 ou handles tulane 34-19 in norman - green wave had a week of it dealing with nola hurricane;
6. #16 lsu gets by usc,e after being down a couple touches 36-33 - coach kelly is so unlikable;

8. #23 nebraska beats up on another creampuff uni 34-3 - skers play no one until ohio state in game eight;

10. aTm starting a new qb wins their first sec away game in awhile at florida 33-20 - pressure off collin klein for this week.

IMO, the most controversial call of the weekend. LSU at South Carolina - A South Carolina pick 6 is called back for what I thought was a legal/good block on the LSU QB. The LSU QB took a couple of steps in pursuit before he got leveled.

Good point about Tulane dealing with the hurricane. In spite of that, it was a five-point game (24-19) with just over six minutes left in the 4th quarter. OU got a couple late scores to make it look better for them.

Good post tm. Spot on about Kelly, he is an incredible d-bag. My opinion he was a perfect fit at nd. Was so easy to root against both there.
Yep huskers pretty easy sledding until ohio st. Afraid rhule going to turn them good.

Agreed. He was a perfect fit for N.D.

great win for illini over N. and a fun watch for the rest of us.

1. my football rivals in order of hate: ku, missouri, N;
2. still remember lawrence phillips postgame wiping his cleats on the powercat;
3. raiola is a very fine passer but otherwise a bit of a statue standing back there;
4. 400 sellouts celebration turns properly sour;
5. games decided by single digits at N

Bo Pelini 20-11
Bill Callahan 10-7
Mike Riley 7-10
Scott Frost 5-22
Matt Rhule 1-6
