Early Game Reviews

Some recaps of the early action on this "Hangover Saturday" (thanks ESPN):

Nebraska just squeaks by against a pesky Ball State team. Bill Callahan was sweating this one out knowing that a blowout home lose followed by a upset home lose is not what the AD was looking for after giving him a contract extension 3 weeks earlier.

Florida also escaped a scare against lightly-regarded Mississippi down in Oxford. Mississippi had the ball down 6 with under 5 minutes left in the game. A fake punt on 4th-11 turned the ball over to the Gators. Does this mean that Florida is not as good as once thought or is the SEC that good that there is no easy games?

Louisville could not avoid the upset, losing to Syracuse at home. The Orange offense played unbelievable with QB Robinson throwing for 423 yds. and 4 TDs. It's a good day in the Levy household.
