Afternoon Game Reviews

The 3 big games of the afternoon just wrapped up.

This is what I get for putting my faith in Penn State. I was sure this was their year to win the Big 10 and maybe be in the national championship picture, but then today happened. Michigan 14 Penn State 9 Mike Hart had another great day running the ball. He got his 40 carries, getting the rock 44 times for 153 yds. and 1 TD. Now Michigan is 1-0 in the Big 10 and can put Appalachian State and Oregon behind them.

Down in the Bayou, LSU used their running game to beat South Carolina 28-16 and help Lee Corso out. LSU looked impressive running for 294 yards and 3 scores. Plus a nice fake field goal that was run to perfection. South Carolina just kinda hung around showing that they are improving, but are not yet at the level of the LSUs and Floridas of the conference.

Trivia Question: Who is the first Notre Dame coach to have his team start the season 0-4?
Answer: Charlie Weis.
His Fighting Irish lost to Michigan State 31-14. Notre Dame freshman QB Jimmy Clausen was 7/13 for 52 yds. The good news is they did score 2 offensive touchdowns. The Irish head to Purdue next Saturday to try and avoid 0-5.
